WAsmNGruN. Nov iG.--The attitude
Of the administration towards the sub
jcct Of reciprocity with Canada Is prob
ably disclosed Ia the following state
mcnt oi government Official.
eth. task % the govsrnment would
bc made easier II the Statesmen in
eonRress would lie controlled by the
inierests Of the country al large. Some
Of them unfortunately confnc their
views 20 particular concession 20 be
obtained from foreign country for n
{ local Interest; and then desire
our compensatory concession 20 be
made not BY their own. but By some
other locaity. They make Of reciproc-
7 ity a series of questions TO bc settled
10 The interest Of particular districts
We may be able 20 secure arrange
mcnts which will add millions 10 our
national export trade. and yet II
might l'e defeated BY a combination
OF few minor local interests
not amounting 10 million. Yet
reciprocity means mutual concession,
without this nothing can be accom-
Plished. We must give n market II ve
acquire one-not necessarily a free
market, but an accessible market.
Take coal for illustration. by giving
access 70 the New England coast we
might gain access lpsyhaps eontrol) in

with mutual advantages by reason Of
geographical and transport conditions.
Would Il be wise for coal producers 20
antagonize these national conditions?

commerce where long water transport

way carriage. In some things we can
acqnirc an almost exclusive market,
greatly increasing our exports, In ex-
change for market open only 20 the
competition Of the other party SO il
Is with some phasss Of the question Of
logs and coarse lumber, against manu-

inevitably ehlarge demand for our raw
material from which they are made;
and this tends 10 increasc tie price

advantages uf increased trade are

tional condition Of producing n sur

manufacture products. Our policy

interest All that can be hoped is a
result. which. in the aggregate. shall
