THE TARIFF. Touch not, handle
not, but let reciprocity be its
handmaiden. Supplementary sys-
- l.
tenn is suggested

There is general acquieScence IN our
present tariff system as national poi
icy. The first requisite to our prosperity
Is the continuity and stability of this
economic policy. Nothing could be more
unwise than to disturb the business IN
terests of the country by any general
tariff change at this time.
doubt, apprehension. uncertainty are
exactly what we most wish to avoid
in the interest of our commercial and
material well-being Our experience In
the past has shown that sweeping re-
visions of the tariff are apt to produce
conditions closely approaching panic in
the business world. Yet it is not only
possible, but eminently desirable, TO COM
bne with the stability of our economic
system a supplementary system or reclp-
rocal benefit and obligation with other
nations Such reciprocity is an incident
and result of the firm establishment and
preservation of our present economic
policy. 1t was specially provided for IN
the present tariff law.
Reciprocity must be treated as the
handmaiden of protection. Our first duty
Is to see that the protection granted by
the tariff in every case where ii Is need
ed Is maintained, and that reciprocity be
sought so far as Ii can safely be done
without injury to our home industries
Just how far this is must be determined
according to the individual case. remem-
bering always that every application OF
our tariff policy TO meet our shifting ma
tional needs must be conditioned upon
the cardinal fact that the duties must
never be reduced below the point that VIII
cover the difference between the labor
cost here and abroad The well-beinS OF
the wage worker is a prime consideration
of our entire policy of economic legisla-
ton.
Subject TO this proviso of the proper
protectiot necessary to our industrlal
well-being at home, the principal OF
reciprocity must command our hearty
support. The phenomenal growth OF our
export trade emphasizes the urgency OF
the need for wider markets and for n
liberal policy In dealing with foreign ma
tions. Whatever is merely petty and veN-
atious I'm the way of trade restrictions
should be avoided. The customers to
whom we dispose of our surplus products
in the long run. directly or indirectly,
purchase those surplus products by glVlEg
us something In return. Their ablllty 10
purchase our products should as far as
possible be secured by so arranging our
tariff as to enable us to take from them
those products which we can use without
harm TO our own industries and labor,
/ or the use of which will be of marked
benefit To us.

 Tribute to Captain White.
 Near the close of his speech MT. Knox paid a tribute to the sixteen members of the convention who fought the suffrage clause. He said:
 Nothing could have been more im- pressive in the closing days Of the con vention than the patriotic remarks of General Harrison of Mir. Beddow and of Captain White. who declared in eloquent terms that they would stand with their party and with their people to maintain and establish upon a permanent and everlasting basis white supremacy in this state. When MT. White concluded his remarks and declared that he woult not only sign but would stand for tht ratification of the constitution there was scarcely a dry eye in the gallery or up on the floor and his remarks called tt mind the patriotic address which Benja min Franklin delivered in the convention of 17S7 Mir Franklin. will be remem. bered, opposed with all his influence ano great ability many of the provisions thai were embodied in the Federal constitu- tion He at one time thought he would refuse to place his signature to the in strument. but, rising to the full measure of the patriot he was he yielded to the voice of the majority and not only sign ed the instrument. but contributed ma terially to it's ratification.
