THE NECESSITY FOR NEW TRADE AGREEMENTS

There has been an abundance of design in Mr. Nc
Kinleys remarks touching the broadening of our for
eign markets and the adoption of reciprocity treaties
while he has been touring the country. It win de-
pend on the incoming congress- largely whether we
WI keep our present great and the president has
been seeking to work up public sentiment which
might affect the action OF congress
This Is all right however, The Post has no issue
to raise with Mr Mckinley that point But Il can
not pass the subject without emarkng that the pres
dents position is to great degree a surrender Of
those extreme tarn views for which he has been es
peciay noted His advocacy of reciprocity is a clear
confession that the existing tarin is standing in tho
way OF the fullest possible trade with other nations
To That extent he is yindca..ng democratic conten
tions
Whether luckily or unluckily, Il happens to be a
fact that nearly al OF commercial treaties with
the leading nations of the world will expire IN 1903

a PROGRESSIVE STEP IN RELIGIOUS MATTERS.

Inc proposition before the Presbyterian General
