PANAMA CANAL.

The Congress has wisely provided that We
shlll build at once sthman Canal. II posi-
bile al Panama. The Attorney General reports
that we can undoubtedly acquire good title from
the French Panama Canal Company Negotla-
items are now pending with Colombia to secure
her assent to our building the canal. This canal
will be one of the greatest engineering feats or
the twentieth century; d greater engineering
feat than ia 8 yet been accomplished during
the history of mankind. The work should be
ca arried out as a continuing policy. without re
gard To change of administration; and 1t should
be begun under circumstances which VIII make
il a matter of pride for all administrations 10
continue the policy. .
The canal will be of great benefit to America:
and of Importance 70 all the world. 1t Will be or
advantage to us pdustrially and also as lnproN-
ing our military position. 1t Will be or adNan-
tage to the countries of tropical America. 1t is
earnestly 70 be hoped that all of these countries
viii do as some of them have already done with
signal success, and will invite to their shores
commerce and improve their material conditions
bv recognizing that sta bity and order are tne
nrereoujstes of successful development, No IN
danendent nation in America need have the
slightest fear of aggression from the United
States 1t behooVcS each one TO maintain oruer
within its own borders and to discharge It's just
ohligatious to foreigners. When this is done.
they can rest assured that, be they strong or
weak they have nothing to dread from OUTSIDE
inter ference More and more the increasing III
terdenendence and compleXity of international
noiiticaI and economic relations render 1t IN
c,mbent on all civilized and orderly powers 10
insist on the proper policing of the world.

RECIPROCITY TREATIES.

One way in which The readjustment sought
can be reached is by reciprocity treaties 1T is
greatly to be desired that such treaties may he
adopted. They be used 10 widen our mar
kets and TO give d greater field for the actiVl-
ties of our producers on the one hand, ana on
the other hand to secure in practical shape the
lowering of duties when they are no longer
needed for protection among our own people. or
when the minimum of damage done may be dis
regarded for the sake of the maximum of good
accomplished IL 1t prove impossible TO ratity
the pending treaties, and II there seem 10 he
warrant for the endeavor to execute others,
to amend the pending treaties so that they
be ratified. then the same end-to secure
reciprocity-should be met by direct legislation.
Wherever the tariff conditions are such that
q needed change cannot with advantage he made
by the application of the reciprocity idea, then
it can be made outright by lowering Of duties
a given product. If possible such change
should be made only after the fullest considera-
ton by practical experts who should approach
the subject from a business standpoint having
in view both the particular interest affected and
the commercial Wellbeing OF the people
whole. The machinery for providing such care
full investigation can readily be supplied The
executive department has already at It's disposal
methods of collecting facts and figures: and II
the Congress desires additional consideration
70 that which will he given the subject by its
committees, then a commission of business
experts can be appointed whose duty 1t should
be to recommend action by the Congress after
deliberate and scientific examination of the va
rous schedules they are affected by the
changed and changing conditions. The unhur-
ried and unbiased report Of this commission
would show what changes should be made in
the various schedules, and how far these changes
could go without also changing the great pros
perity which this country Is now enjoying. or up
setting it's fixed economic policy.
The cases in which the tariff produce a
monopoly 30 few as tn constitute an incon-
siderable factor in the question; but. of course.
If in any il be found that given rate of
duty does promote a monopoly which works i'll.

interest Of each must be brought into harmony
with the interest of the general public and tne
conduct of each mus. conform to the funoa-
mental rules of obedience to the law, of inai-
vidual freedom, and of justice and fair dealing
toward all. Each should remember that, IN 40
ton of healthy lofty and generous Ideals
Every employer. every wage worker must be
guaranteed his liberty and his right to do as
he likes with his property or his labor so long
he does not infringe upon the rights OF others.
1t is of the highest Importance that employer
and employe alike should endeavor to appre-
ciate each the viewpoint of the other, and the
disaster that will come upon both in the
long run if either grows to take habitual an
attitude of sour hostility and distrust toward
the other. Few people deserve better of the
country than those representatives both of CAPT
tai and laboF-and there are many such-who
work continually to bring about a good under
standing of this kind, based upon wisdom and
upon broad and kindly sympathy between en-
ployers and employed. Above ALL we need to re-
member that any kind of class animosity in the
political worI. is if possible even more wicked
even more destructive to national welfare. than
sectional. race religious animosity. We
get good government only upon condition that
we keep true to the principles upon which this
nation was founded, ard judge each man not
a part of class, but upon his individual
merits. All that we have right to ask of any
man, rich or poor, whatever his creed, his oc-
cupatien, his birthplace or his residence is that
he shall act well and honorably by his neighbor
and by his country. We are neither for the rich
man as such nor for the poor man such;
for the upright man. rich poor So far
as the constitutional powers of the national
gov toucfi THESE matters OF general anu
vital moment to the nation. they should be ex-
ercsed in conformity with the principles above
set forth.
1t is earnestly hoped that a secretary of COM
merce may be ted, with seat in the Cab-
net. The rapid multiplication of questions af
feeting labor and capital, the growth and COM
plexity of the organizations through which both
la ber and capital now find expression. the steady
tendency toward the employment of capital In
huge corpora tions. and the wonderful strides of
this country toward leadership in the interna-
tional business world justify an urgent demand
for the creation of such position Substantial
ly all the leading commercial bodies in this
country have united II. requesting its creation.
It is desirable that such measure that
which has already passed the Senate be enacted
into law The creation of such department
would in itself be advance toward dealing
with and exercising supervision the whole
subject of the great corporations doing an in
terstate business; and with this end in view,
the Congress should endow the department with
large powers, which could be increased as ex-
perience might show the need.
