LUMBER AND RECIPROCITY

The Minnesota delegation in congress
is elsewhere reported to-day as finding
fault with Mr.. NJ. ]. Dowling's stand In
favor of the removal Of the duty on lumber.
The delegation says that the lumber tar
if will be fine Grading stock" when con-
gress gets around to the question of reci-.
procity with Canada. In this the dell
egation is doubtless right, but we do not
recall that Mr.. Dowling went so far as
to commit himself to the manner Of abol-
ishing the lumber tariff. AS matter of
fact he probably expected that it would
come about through some reciprocal
agreement with Canada.
The Canadians are now so Indifferent to
the reciprocity question that the initia-
tive will have to come from us, and we
shall need all the trading stock" we
have to get any concessions out of them
so far as the tariff on manufactured ar
ticles is concerned. The only reciprocity
talk in Canada now is in favor of Mr..
John Charlton S plan OF free trade in nat
ural products. The Canadians think that
owing to the fact that our tariff IS twice
as high as theirs reductions on their part
that will injure any Canadian manufac-
ture are not to he expected. Their view
is that the way to attain reciprocity is
for the United States to give Canadians
something like the chance in American
markets that Americans now have in Ca
madam markets. We export to them three
times as much as we import. They sug-
gest a free market for their natural
products as a means of restoring the
equilibrium Of trade between the two
countries.
Still the market offered by II ZOO, 900
people is such a tempting one that if the
Canadians really saw us asking for what
we refused when they asked 1t they might
make some concessions in their duties on
manufactures in return for the free
admission Of coal and lumber and other
natural products. They might at
least be willing to- enter into

THE DUTY OF UNIONS

There are so many strikes and SO many
labor troubles in different parts of the
country now that the whole labor ques-
in the public mind.
Labor troubles, whether violent or
peaceable, may be expected from time to
time until the relations of labor and
capital are vastly changed from what
thew now are. The old school of econo-
mists thought that the relations were
fixed for all time and that for labor to
protest was to oppose destiny. We have
SO completely changed our views, we peo-
pie of the first days Of the twentieth
century, that the most conservative cap
italist has no idea that the relations will
remain unchanged. Within fifty years
the change from present relations may
be so great as to amount to revolution.
Yet it is to the interests Of all that
whatever of change is to come shall be
wrought as amicably and as gradually
as possible. While the struggle between
labor and capital is going on both sides
must remember that though the day may
be coming when the nations Of the world
will unite in Tennyson's feder-
alton of mankind, the present is one of
commercial warfare. 1t is every nation
for itself and no mercy for the hinder
most 1t is the duty of the present gen.

rests upon labor unions. So far Amer
lea has been playing a winning game in
the contest with other nations. The SUI
periority of our workmen is to be cred
tied for the result as much as, and per-
haps more than any other contributing
cause. The decadence of Industrial Eng
land whether temporary or permanent,
is to be attributed largely to the ego
easy system which has been introduced
into English industry and encouraged
by the unions. AS a general proposition
our union men have not fought the intro
duction Of machinery. They have been
Intelligent enough to understand that it
was an incident of progress which they
ought not to oppose. Wiser than their

some tendency to follow them in another
practice that impairs efficiency.
The American workman does more
work in day and does it better than
his fellows of any other nation. His
efficiency, as measured in product, is
four times that of the Frenchman and
nearly five times that of the Englishman.
Part Of this efficiency is due to better
machinery and tools, part to superior
Intelligence and education and part to
greater activity. The American work
man has been famed for his lack Of ten
dency to soldier He has a reputation
for doing his best, for working with all
his strength and spirit.
But of late there has been some COM
plant that the tendency to do less work
than the individual capacity is becom-
ing manifest. and that men are content
not to do their best but to do the least
compatible with keeping a job. The feel
ing Of security in employment which
membership in a strong union gives,
doubtless has some part in creating this
tendency. It should be the duty of unions
vigorously to combat the tendency, and
