The. New York Republicans.

The New York republicans, at their state
convention yesterday, while indorsing the
administration of President Roosevelt
and Governor Odell, and commencing the
former for laying the foundations of local
government in the Philippines failed
as other republican conventions have not
done to indorse him for the republican
presidential nomination at the national
convention in 1904. This was in accord
ance with Senator Platt's program.
The strongest stress was laid upon the
maintenance Of the protective tariff in the
interest Of the workingmana and the con-
vention pledged itself to suppress and
prevent the organization of combinations
in restraint of trade. Practically, the in
dorsenent Of the Roosevelt administration
is an Endorsement of the policies brought
forward during that administration, in
Guiding the policy of reciprocity with
Cuba. which the president has restated
with much emphasis in his recent speeches
in the west He has indicated, with great
energy, the very essence Of the meaning Of
the Integrity of the protective principle -
which Is not reckless bounty-giving but an
intelligent laying Of a duty on an article
imported, equal to. the difference in cost
Of production here and abroad. The
president, like the republicans of his own
state, stands firmly for protection and for
the preservation of It's integrity based
upon that simple formula, which Is des-
tined to be the guide in tariff making ulti-
mately. o. .,.

Make a Start, First.

T h o ur n a has consistently advo-
Gated tariff revision through permanent
commission for many years. But it has
always wanted a commission that would
revise, and not content itself with the ex-
listing status. Of course, there is nothing
new In President Roosevelt's preferred
course Of revising the tariff, We had such
a commission once before. It would be a
great boon to this country if the tariff
question could be taken wholly out of pol
ttics, but that is an impossibility until the
whole country is agreed on the theory of
the tariff.
So long as there Is a great division Of
public opinion as to whether the theory Of
the tariff should be protective o. fiscal, 1t
will be impossible to keep the tariff from
being a party question. If there were
such an agreement on the tariff question
here as there has been in England for the
last forty years, non-partizan tariff COM
mission would satisfy all. ~
But a republican tariff commission will
i've basis whereas commission dominat-
ed by democrats will revise it with view
to revenue only,
Those republicans who are now demand
ing a revision of the tariff have not given
up their devotion to the principle Of pro-
lection, but they are convinced that the
tariff ought to be greatly reduced, and
they would not be satisfied with a tariff
commission which was not at the start
convinced that it's work was to reduce, not
to maintain tariffs.
congress ought directly to revise the tariff
itself in such matters as to which fair
minded, disinterested and progressive re-
publicans cannot disagree.

late Philip James Bailey, the author Of
"Festus," produced that famous poem in
1889, and enjoyed a triumph of some
years in England and in this country, as
a poet of distinguished merit, until some
critics decided that they had been rlisled
by few rich and sonorous passages, and
"Festus" fell into desuetude. Bailey
never produced anything worth printing
after he wrote "Festus,' but rested on the
laurels Of the years in which it was by the
public applauded. Buffers Miss Flora -

Organize for Reciprocity.

Minneapolis is now recognized as the
center Of the movement In the west Tor
closer trade relations with Canada, just
as Boston Is similarity recognized In the
east. The interest in the question here
is not confined to academic discussions,
but has taken ahold of the imaginatlons
and calculations of our business men,
Convinced Of the potentialit1es and pos
sibilities Of the Canadian West they de-
sire to relate themselves to it's just be-
ginning development. The local interest
being so great, Mr.. W. S. Dwinnelrs sug-
gestion of a Twin City Reciprocity League
Is timely and should be acted upon by the
commercial bodies and interested public
of both cities.
We are inclined to agree with Mr.. Dwin-
nell that the present is a sort OF last
chance for reciprocity. By this we do
not mean that If we do not realize reel
procity soon we shall never have 1T, for
that would be in conflict with manifest
destiny" phrase, by the way, invented
in this very connection by Goodwin Smith.
But we do mean that 1t may
be many years before the turn
ing of the political wheel in
Canada again presents an opportunity.
1t is not certain that reciprocity can be
obtained now. taking it for granted that 1t
will be possible to get Washington to
make the first move, but there is a chance
and it behooves us to make the most Of It,
Canada has recently witnessed re-
pnyt
and it has already split the former low
tariff or free trade liberal party into two
camps, the very cabinet itself being d.
vided. If the liberal party falls from power
on this issue it will be long before the
signs again favor reciprocity. AS Mr.
-DWinnell says, we should move at once
and energetically. Every effort should be
put forth to get reciprocity with Canada
under way at the next session of congress-
Gentlemen like Mr.. Kenaston who have
invested money in Canadian manufacture
ing plants naturally think that it is now
too late to bring about the reciprocity
which they no longer want. But Mr..
Kenaston's and other such investments in
Canadian manufacturing enterprises will
not offset the demand of the rapidly
growing population of the west for freer
trade with the United States. The Ca
madam West has an influence at Ottawa
far beyond it's numbers, for it is realized
that the future of Canada is in its West.
More delay on our part may tend to
change sentiment in western Canada. If
we strike now we shall have a majority
of it's people favorable to any reasonable
proposition. Nor is reciprocity sentiment
wholly dead though latent, in eastern
Canada.
