THE RECIPROCITY CONVENTION.

1t would be super1uous to enlarge upon and
difficult 10 exaggerate the Importance OF the
subject under consideration by the nanonal con-
repfion of business men which met yesterday
AT Washington Despite the abuse which was
formerly ieaped upon it by free traders, the
principle which Bismarck described as do ut
tes' in foreign trade is now pretty generally
recognized as sound and benefcent- Perhaps 1t
NAV also be regarded necessary TO meet the
requirements of increasing industry and ex-
handing commerce. free traders have, indeed,
so largely come over TO or toward the protec-
Zionist view of the matter that there is now
comparatirely little difference Of opinion upon
the main poirt-namely, the desirability Of more
extended reciprocal relations The questions at
issue are first. how far such extension is to be
carried and second, by what means 1t is TO be
effected.
The two principles upon which reciprocity
rests are those of discrimination and of mutual
profit That is TO say, this ration is TO make
certain tariff determinations in favor of some
certain other nation. and il is TO do so in such
way as 10 promote its own pfofts-just as that
other nation is 10 accept our reciprocity oner
in order 10 promote its own profits Evidently,
then, a general offer of commercial favors to
all the WORLD would be in violation Of the one
principle. and would probably in many cases de-
feat the operation of the ether. In brief, dis
elimination is not to be effected by indscrfmi-
nate measures Or il there be some academic
extremists who hold that there should be no
discrimination in trade, the answer to them Is
obvious II ali nations treated Us exactly alike
we could treat them all alike, and If they all
bought and sold exactly the same things the
same tariffs might proftably be applied to ALL
But Of natural necessity they vary widely, and
SO must our treatment Of them vary.
For example. Brszil sends us rubber and Can
ada sends us lumber. and we need those sup
plies from them both. But il would do Brazil
no good for us to lower the tariff on lumber. and
q reduction of the rubber duty would be of no
New-York tribune., 1901-11-20

profit 10 Canada. Each nation requires u oo
dealt with according to its own indlVldtai heeuS
and the character of its own pecuhar laue.
Without discrimination, the only way 10 suit ai'
would be to abolish alI tariffs, and TO 90 lha'
would be not 10 extend but to abolish reciploo-
ity. The varying tariff systems of other nations
must also be borne in mind mus Sai"u'
makes discrimna tons in her tar1H ln Ia'oi VI
Great Britain. 1t would be Illogical TO grant
any sweeping system of reciprocity 10 CaIdoa
without taking that fact into account else we
should find ourselves practically granting tne
same favors to Great Britain without receNihe
anything in return.
We have spoken of the Importance OF 'he
question before the convention. We trnst-iia!'
we are confdent-that comparable Important
will be found to reside in the convention itseii'
1t is an unprecedented gathering OF representa-
tive American business men from all parts VI
the Union While 1t has no official authority
such an assemblage can scarcely rail- 10 na's
influence upon the course or goVefhlheh'"A
action. The mature conclusions of such de-
lberative bodr cannot well be ignored. 1t rests
with the convention itself largely to deter
mine TO what extent its influence shall De
poteut and in that determination it Will douDl-
less perceive that the moderate course Is 'he
wise one. 4 reciprocity convention cahliot iosi

knew or believed and in assurance OF their
worthiest desires. The present sitting OF tne
Pan-American Congress at Mexico MADE n1tlng
his strong reassertion of the sincerity and dis
interestedness of this country's attitude toward
ifs Southern neighbors The opening yesterday
OF the National Reciprocity Convention made
timely his earnest words in favor OF WIDER
reciprocity in trade "in the tradltonai Amer
.fcan spirit OF protection TO our own industries
land yet mutual advantage to ourselves ana
.orr neighbors' The growth of American
interests in Eastern Asia and the fine achieve
ments of American diplomacy there invested
with especial interest his reference to the open
door and his ringing declaration that "a fair
field and no favor" is all this country requires,
land with less than that shall not he salts
fed" Finally coming straight from the sign
ing of the isthmian canal treaty, his utterances
upon that subject were perhaps or all most
eagerly awaited; and, though brief. they were
eminently satisfactory. The nation was assuieo
by its Secretary of State that there sball De il
transpacific cable and an isthmian canal ana
that the canal shall be for the use OF all well
"disposed peoples, but under exclusive American
Ownership and American control
That declaration, the one real disclosure OF
an official secret in the speech, is gratifying ana
satisfactory to every thoughtful American ana
it is in perfect unison Win the hesho'o VI .e
whole sneech which was sounded at the begin
ming when the orator said: THE brlefest express
"sion of our rule of conduct is, the Monroe Doc
.trjne and the Golden Rule. With this simple
"cbart we can hardly go far astray.' GOV
erned by that benign rule, American diplomacy
will suffer no surrender of our own rights ana
will be guilty of no violation OF the rights OF
others And. dilgent in business, this nation
will stand-not crawl. nor swagger, but 'stano
las a friend and equal. asking nothing ana put
ting up with nothing but what Is rieht ana
'1ust, among our peers in the great democracy
..of nations The republic owes gratitude to
Secretary Hay for that inspiring exposluoh
of the noblest traditions and ideals of Ameri-

mating and convincing because made by man
to whom those traditions are vital forces Oh the
present day, and those ideals are real ana prac-
tical rules of successful conduct.

Better thar. HypnOtisin.

Or. Harold y Meyer believes that
suggestion, well directed and, above all,
patiently and systematically applied,
forms a very important element In the
treatment of many diseased states.
Hypnosis. on the contrary. has many
Objectionable features. II Il by no
means easily induced. excepting in In
diylduals with very unstable nervous
systems. and In these It Ii quite certain
that the effects are harmful. There 10
not a little evidence that goes to show
that suggestion may be invoked Just
rs efficiently without hypnosis a W.fN
II. but II would seem that the more self
efficient the suggestion. However, when
the patients own consciousness comes
to the aid of the person making the
suggestion, there Is n possibility that
suggestion may be more efficient with.
out the hypnotic state. IL an Individual
comes to physician, for example, In
the full belief that the physician Is In
possession OF q remedy or treatment that
will infalllbly cure certain trouble,
undoubtedly the effect on the patients
mind Of suggestion along the lines Of
this thought II more efficient when the
person Is conscious than II he were In
an hypnotic state. On the contrary, II
the patient were opposed to the sug.
