DELAYS DANGEROUS.

(Des Moines Register and LEADER.
The Boston Transcript quotes A. w.
Lees letter from Newfoundland, pub.
llshed in the Register and Leader, in
which he said: UNLESS the United
States shows disposition soon to
deal generously with Canada and New
foundland, by means of liberal reci-
procity treaties the United States will
wake up some day to find that she
has lost industrially far more than
she has gained, and the worst, Of it is
this loss may prove to be an ire
trievahle one" The transcript adds:
"A hint of how this may come about
is given in the journey to France with
in the month of Sir Wilfrid Laurier
to arrange for reciprocity, subsidized
steamship line between the French
and Canadian seaports being a fea-
ture OF the agreement. That congress
has taken an unwise course in deal
ing with Canadian reciprocity, is the
opinion of many who cannot be un-
justly accused of free trade procIiVi-
ties. Every. years delay but makes
the possibility of a treaty more re-
mote. Each year our Canadian neigh
bors, under the stimulus Of meeting
their own requirements, are so en-
larging the scope of their manufac.
lures, so that eventually they will be
fairly independent of outsiders.
Through our refusal to admit few
commodities from the provinces at
reduced tariff rates in consideration
of the lowering of its schedule by
the dominion government, we have
fostered along our border multitude
of industries, some of them operated
by the same capital and managed by
the same interests as control similar
plants in the United States."

No PATIENCE With Rrxanisn.

The Cedar Rapids Republican states
that Sam Wright. of Upton, the demo

gold wing of the democratic party;
that as temporary chairman of the

insisted upon making cleveland

convention, and that of all democrats
he has had as little patience as any

mand," but it is confident that the
party will emerge unscathed and the
man alone will suffer. 1T is sad
ending of a great career" says the

There is no mystery about it. says

the way corn prices continue high.
THE world is at work and needs the
rich food products of which corn
forms only the base. If cattle and
hogs would fatten upon wheat success
fully, or by the use of any other cereal
the pressure on the cornfields might
lessen, but until such substitute is
found there will be no let up in the de-

AS to Horace Boies as a democratic
