Mckinley Reciprocity.

The late Presidents reciprocity idea
is entirely consistent with his well.
known protection sentiment, by which
he has stood during his entire political
life, and which he lived to see fully
v%indicated by "our wonderful indus.
trial development" Sensible trade
arrangements" the late President says
not free trade, but that (which will
not interrupt II home production"
and that is Mckinley protection and
Mckinley reciprocity. Anything else
would be a surrender of our Industries
to ruinous foreign competition and a
return of the days and experiences of
the Cleveland administration and the
Wilson tariff bill. "Our wonderful in
dustrial Development must be sustain
ed, not by breaking down the laws
which have made it possible, but, as
Mckinley says. sensible trade ar.
engagements which will not interrupt
our home production Back of that
sentiment stands the whole Republican
party and the industrial interests of
the country, and back of that sentiment
stands the nations new head and Pres.

Europe Gets Her Share.

Why should the nations of Europe
worry about our exports to their
shores? Most of the goods go over in
their ships. The more goods we sell
them the more fares will go into the
treasures of the transatlantic liners.
OF course, this may not always oil
tinue, but it has been a rich plan for
the British, the Germans, the Dutch.
the French, and even smaller maritime
nations, and now they IRE trying to
Guido M another in building new
fleets of bigger and faster boats.
Not only that, but lots of the money
they send us goes back again in the
form of railrad fares, all over Europe,
hotel bills. fees and tips innumerable
and all the lavish expenditure of q
host Of rich travellers. The balance of
trade is In Dur favor, but we are not
mean about spending the money, and
Europe will think several times before
she turns picture to the wall.

Gov. Beckham's reply to Gov. Dur

litical bargain" What of value two

The fact is that Gov. Durbin merely
exercised his inherent discretion to in
quire whether the claim for Taylor and
Finley was prompted by q desire for
justice or for partisan revenge, and
found that the latter motive was self
evident in the circumstances. There
fore he refused, as dozens of other ex
ecutives have, to be a party to prose-
cution which was plainly persecution.
