The President and Reciprocity

Whether President McKinley's wound
results fatally or not. his principal
speech at Buffalo viii always be deem
ed one Of the most notable Of his ca
reer. Even before he was shot the
address had attracted the widest atten-
ton. and been made the subject Of ex-
tended comment all over the world
The speech was. indeed, a remarkable
one. coming from a man who had near
~ all Of his life been one Of the most
extreme protectiCnists in the country
II clearly indicated that Mr. Mckinley
has. himself, imbIbed rather advanced
ideas on the subject Of tariff reform
and some Of his automatic statements
Of fundamental economic principles
were Identical in substance with the
arguments OF the Out-and- out free
traders
The Presidents special plea was for
reciprocity, which. as The Times has
repeatedly declared Of late. rests upon
the free trade principle. and is in fact
free trade as far as IL goes. The cable
advices give no inkling Of any Euro
pean newspaper having accepted the
reciprocity ideas Of the President as
the complement Of protection" Uni
yersally it seems 10 be regarded as "A
step in the direction OF free trade

important phase Of the tariff, and the
arguments by which he supported his
plea show plainly that his views upon
the general subject, Of our foreign
trade relations have broadened greatly.

Circulation Statements.
The Country's Amiction.

The Country's Amiction.
One only needs to read the tributes
Of respect and sympathy published in
the American press TO-DAY. and which
came pouring in from the four quarters
Of the globe during last night and this
morning. to realize how deeply the Re
public and the whole civilized world
is amazed and shocked by the das-
tardly attempt upon the lie Of Presi-
dent Mckinley at Buffalo yesterday.
1t was a foul and awful crime, and
behest of ar organization Of those
common enemies Of society, the an
archists. In the event of the Presi-
dents recovery, which the bulletins
from his bedside appear to render a
strong probability. we are informed
that the worst that can happen to his
would-be assassin is a sentence Of ten
years in the State prison.
When the personal freedom enjoyed
by all residents of this country is abus-
ed by anarchists, and utilized for the
preparation OF plans Of assassination
directed against foreign and domestic
rulers and statesmen, it is high time
that society should act in seIf-defence.
Because the conditions that obtain to-
day were uncomfortable by the gathers
of the Republic there is no constitu-
tional way at present by which these
pests Of mankind can be reached by
the strong arm Of the Government. But
an amendment TO the Constitution is
feasible and one should be submitted
to the constituent States as soon as
possible, in order that the United
States may be in a position to join
with the other Powers in a general
scheme to stamp out the hideous cult
Of anarchy.
As we learn from our Buffalo advices.
President Mckinley has passed the
first crisis in his battle for life success
fully. What is termed the secondary
shock" came last night. and was easily
overcome. This morning he was rest
ing easily. and il was stated that,
Should his NvlIIsig.s .-e....-i.- o. r,.,vI-
able as it was at the hour the bulletin
was issued. another attempt would be
made later in the day to extract the
second bullet which. as we understand.

back Of his-stomach. The illustrious
sufferer always has been a man Of pure
life and exemplary habits He is a de-
scendant Of a sturdy Irish stock. and
these things arc greatly in his favor.
1t would be foolish 10 assume that no
element Of danger exists in the case.
Even the attendant physicians. who
naturally would speak Of the conditions
with the greatest reserve. admit that
complications Of serious character
are by no means impossible. while
they hope to avert them through the
resources e surgical and medical
science.
Not. only his own but all other coun-
tries are watching in supense. anxiety.
and prayer FOR the latest word from
President McHinley's bedside; hoping.
and with reason for hope. that God IL
His infinite goodness will defeat the
object Of the murderous wretch who
attempted his life. and restore him in
health 10 his family and friends. and
the great people with whom he has
been more notably popular than most
public men OF his day and generation.

IN Abuse Which Must End.

Through long years ObSCTNdut people
have been reEretung the seuseiess
democratic" custom of handshaking
the general public. of which successive
Presidents have been the victims. So
strong has been the idea, however. that
the Chief Of the State could not depart
from it without exposing himself To
the suspicion Of feeling above the pop
ulace that no President within Ghe
memory Of man has ventured 10 deny
his right hand To the long lines Of citi-
ZenS who on public occasions have filed
by. all anxious To be able To say after
wand that they had exchanged grasps
with the ruler Of great nation
The event Of yesterday at Buffalo
sadly Illustrates the idiocy Of such q
practice. No amount of police OF de
tective preparation or provision could
be sufficient to guarantee the person of
a great man from attack. when eucag-
ed in a foolish function which brings
him in close contact with hundreds Of
strangers. The haudshaking reception
is and always has been the opportunity
Tor the crank and anarchist in this
country. Yesterday it was utilized by
one or more of the latter class. The
like chance should never be allowed
To occur again
Why we have not OUtgrown such a
barbaric custom, in the social evolu-
ton Of the past fifty years, is a ques-
ton hard To answer. 1t is TO be hoped
that the object lesson now before us
may lead TO the abolition Of this abuse
