RECIPROCITY WITH NEWFOUNDLAAD.
1t was an appropriate coincidence that the
text of the Newfoundland reciprocity treaty
was made public at the very hour when na
tionaI convention in behalf OF reciprocity was
being held The terms OF the treaty are general
Iy in accord with the forecast of them Whlch
was some time ago made in these columns,
Differing tberefrom if at all, only IN being
even more comprehensive than was expected
The treaty has hitherto been epigrammatcaiiS
described as one providing for free bait anu
free fish. 1t is that with a single exception,
but it is also something more and we trust
we may say, something better
The first article gives TO United States Usher
men the same privileges of getting balt anu
other supplies and trading in NeWfoundland
harbors and waters that Newfoundland nsher-
men have. 1t would be impossible for them to
ask for more than that. Such concessions WILL
it is confidently believed, be of great benefit to
them, amply offsetting the chiefly Imaginary
danger of Newfoundland competition in Ameri-
can fish markets. In return all Newfoundland
fishery products excepting fresh cod are TO DE
admitted into the United States free of duty
That NAV be of some advantage to Newfound-
landers though there is no fear that it Will
favor them at the expense of American fisher
men, The latter. with the freedom OF New
foundland harbors and waters. will be easily
able to hold their own against any insular COM
petition But the treaty goes beyond bait ana
fish 1t provides for reciprocity in other COM
modties. In that respect its advantages seem
TO be chiefly on our side. Newfoundland mas
not much to sell TO the United States. 1he
treaty mentions only ores and states, the FORMER
unrefined and the latter untrimmed- There Is
no danger of such all invasion causing any panic
in PENNSYLVANIA and Michigan. On the otnef
hand we produce many things which New
foundland needs and q long list of them is set
forth in the treaty TO be exempt from the New
foundland tariff. The list comprises agricult-
ural indictments all kinds of mining machln-
erv cotton and cottonseed oil, corn. fertilizers,
fishery lines and twine and many others Upon
MANY other important articles. such as -four,
meats and petroleum, very low tariff is fixed,
and it is provided that to no other country shall
q lower tariff be granted on these articles than
to the United States.
In brief American fishermen are to be greatly
favored In Newfoundland waters, and Ameri-
can farmers, manufacturers and merchants are
to be greatly favored in Newfoundland markets,
while on the other hand Newfoundland is TO be
aided in the development Of her Industries and
resources The United States, being so much
the greater country Of the two, will receive the
greater share of benefit but Newfoundland will
probab bly, be benefited in due proportion to her
size. The operation of the treaty should mean
increased prosperity for Newfoundland and in
creased activity and prosperity for American
fisheries, and material increase Of our export
trade to Great Britain's oldest colony.

DRIVE 1T HOME!

Those members of the Board Of Aldermen
who are fully convinced Of the merits OF the
Pennsylvania tunnel project and VIII heartily
support the grant next week probably think
they have done all that lay in their power 10
secure favorable vote. But venture 10
suggest that in one respect they have failed 10
take advantage OF their opportunity. They dc
not seem TO realize that the genuine argument
for labor is entirely on their side. or else they
are timid about asserting the fact. They never
ought to have let the opponents of the franchise
fix an impression on any mind that they were
peculiarly solicitous to protect the interests of
laboring men. In our opinion they might easily
have taken possession of that issue and made
a completely effective use OF it if. as soon as
the other side had developed it's plan of cam
paign, they had boldly and publicly retorted on
their colleagues somewhat as follows:
You must be very silly if you suppose we are
going TO sit still while you pretend TO he the
only friends of the workingmen. Some of you
may be honestly ignorant, and we know that
some OF you are sly and tricky, but whichever
you are you won't find it IN easy job TO fool
labor and get its votes next fall by that means.
THE plain truth about your position and per-
''formance is that you are trying to defeat
undertaking which will put tens of millions of
dollars in the pockets of the very men you pre-
tend to be so fond Of; that there is not single
feature of the whole operation from beginning
ito end which will not benefit them: that they
"are sure of fair treatment and good wages
while the work lasts. and Of their full share of
"the advantages which will result from its COM
"pletion. We haven't the slightest doubt that
1--WE can prove these things to the satisfaction
"of the labor interests next fall and make you
fellows look mighty contemplate Go ahead.
then, If you want TO be responsible for an out
rage on your constituents, but we promise you
that you won't deceive them long. We shall
"be delighted to expose your impudence and
your treachery in every Assembly district in
"fact we are prepared to start the ball rolling
now. This labor argument is all ours, and we
"are going to make the most of it We don't
believe you can beat the franchise, but you can
beat yourselves numerically If you want to-"
If the aldermanic and other supporters of the
franchise had assumed this attitude of eye
opening defiance from the outset it is our firm
conviction that the spurious spokesmen of the
labor interests would have been called off long
ago and the opposition have dwindled away. 1t
is not too late now to press the point with all
energy and emphasis that workingmen will
gain a great deal and lose absolutely nothing
if the tunnel is built on the terms which the
franchise prescribes, and that those who assert
the contrary either know better or too igno-
rant to he worthy Of the slightest attention.
That is the ground which many labor organiZa-
tions have already taken. An earnest effort on
their part during the next few days would bring
others into line and put the Tammany dullards
and sharpers to rout.

AMERICAN METHODS.

Some of our English visitors talk freely about
the characteristic traits OF employers and en-
ployes in England and the United States. 1t is
not difficult to get at certain significant truths.
There are too many i'll advised and injurious
strikes on both sides Of the water. and capital
and labor here and oversee are too frequently
at odds.
But our friends from abroad frankly admit
that in many cases the British employers and
trade unions are wider apart and more dis
trustful of one another than American captains
of industry and the rank and file of wage earn-
ing Yankees are. Originality. enterprise and
special capacity are encouraged more promptly
and generously in this republic than In Eng
land. The men who know how to bring about
results rise more rapidly In America than any
where else.
Capital is not so alert in the Old World in de-
tecting exceptional ability in the ranks of labor
it is in the New World. The wage Garner
here goes TO the front with fewer obstacles and
barriers than in other countries when he. proves
himself the right man in the right place. For
