RECIPROCITY.

Reciprocity is fine word" said Andrew Carnegie

a difficult policy"
The hard-headed Scotchman vas right The lead.
ers of the republican party, who have been mounting
the fine word for long time they are brought
face to face with the arrangement of the details
finding reciprocity difficult policy indeed
The New York board OF trade and transportation IN
selecting delegates to the manufacturers convention
recently took 10 indorse the OF the
publican platform 1900 which declares for recproc
ity This clause reads 1--WE favor the associated pol
icy OF reciprocity directed open markets
on favorable terms for what do not produce in re-
turn for free foreign markets"
Now what does that mean? What do not pro
duce is already admitted free No country is going to
make reciprocity treaty with and give advan.
tages in exchange for letting in their goods which
We do not produce and which come in free without
any reciprocity treaty at ALL To ask foreign nations
10 make such treaties with would be to ask them to
give be something in exchange for that which they
have aready The reason the plank framed in
this way Is plain President Mckinley had negotiated
poms reciprocl-y treaties Some republicans favor
them Some oppose them But all republicans believe
n reciprocity. 1t has become sort OF party shbbo

senator from Massachusetts,, who on account Of his

A SUBSIDY FoR SHIPS.

There is very little doubt that a ship subsidy bill
of some kind will be proposed the coming session OF
congress- Every and then first one prominent
republican and then another has something to say in
favor of the urgent necessity of giving some govern
ment aid to shipping if to prepare the peoples mind
for it.
No details are given out, that the people will
have time to investigate the subject and come to an
intelligent understanding of it in advance. Like so
many other republican legislative schemes only that
nkling Of them which is deemed advisable is given
out in advance. When the proper time comes an at
tempt will be made in this as in so many other cases
to rush bill through congress
Now democratic congressman and newspapers have
years been saying exactly what the republicans are
saying now. Only the remedy proposed for the ac-
knowledgod evil is different. There is no doubt about
the evil. Both parties now acknowledge that Our
merchant marine is not what it ought to be Time was
when we did the carrying trade of the world, Now
do but a very small portion Of it. Without going
into the figures Of the shipping statistics any who
walks along front in any of ports, to say
nothing OF what could be abroad in foreign ports
will be struck with the comparative scarcity of ships
flying the American flag and the number Of British
ships French ships Spanish ships and ships OF other
nations.
The reason for this has long been pointed out by
the derocrats. The republican law which denies
American registry foreign built ships is responsible
for H. and that law alone, Repeal that law and what
would be the result? not only would the number of
merchant ships flying the American nag be increased
by the addition of many foreign built ships to our
merchant marine, but the American ship yards would
reap great benefit Many American capitalists who
now do not attempt to go into the carrying
trade at all would engage in that business the
present restriction removed. There is doubt that
with American capitalists in the business and in
creased home demand for ships American ship builders
could meet European prices. There is reason to
doubt this, as American manufacturers of steel and
iron which are the materials of which modern ships
are mainly built underseing the steel and
iron manufacturers of the rest Of the world
! This subsidy business and bounty business is all
wrong American ship building would advance at a
rapid rate il brought face to face with the competition
that would result from open market

HOUSTON, TEXAS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2

HOUSTON AND THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

The best piece of news that has come to the people
of this country for long time contained in the
cent dispatch from Washington that the magnates of
the transcontinenta railroad lines have become adj
vocates of the Nicaragua canal If it be true.
1t matters what is the reason Of the new atti-
tude of the railroad magnates. Whether they have
taken this departure Willingly Of their initia
tive as business enterprise, whether, seeing that
account of the great popular demand for the Me
aragua canal it inevitable and that they could
longer block the way to its construction, they have
wisely determined make what profit they out Of
what they not prevent If the report be true the
main obstacle to the canal is removed and the people
of the United States will reap the benefits of this
waterway, when viii do for the country on large
scale what the Erie canal did for New York city From
the time ships begin to pass through the canal pros
perity will begin TO advance.
Now az it seems to have the Nicaragua canal
all Houstonans should do their utmost to deep
water for Houston If both OF these projects put
through Houston will shortly become of the great
est cities in the country Houston is 1000 miles
TO the Nicaragua canal than New York. Nor whol
Houston has once secured deep water Will there BE-
any lack of merchandise to send down to the il
ships. Besides the mitless Of Texas, Kan
must be forgotten. 1T is fact said the Hon
c. A. Fellows OF Kansas in his recent speech at the
Kirby banquet in this city and Houston should use
it reason for deepening Buffalo bayou. that Kan
sas has wheat for export than Illinois, Indiana
Ohio and New York combined. Kansas has produced
annually 2OO,00O,OOO bushels of corn and as di
rect result her farmers send the packing house many
millions of dollars in cattle and hogs"
With deep water at Houston it will be the nearest
port to Kansas.

these two projects carried out viii he prodgious
