WOULD NOT SUIT FARMERS.
Injurious Effects of Unrestricted Rec
iprocity in Canadian Agricultural
Products

Canada purchases a large value of
merchandise of us because it is to her
advantage to do so. There is not a
particle of merit in the transaction
since Canada has never been friendly
to the United States. The PROPOSE
ton has been urged under the name
of reciprocity since 1870. Such an ar
rangement existed once and was re-
yoked by the United States as bad
bargain in 1868 or 1864
The duties on Canadian products
were increased in the Dingley law at
the earnest request of farmers. 1t
was a period of depression, and of
more cattle, horses, hay, poultry,
vegetables and small truck" general
ly than there was a market for. Ev-
matters will recall it. The stock
growers declared the business was I'M
profitable in 1S94-96, because Mex
lean cattle could be Americanized by
payment of nominal duty. Horses
were a drug, they set forth in their
statement to congress, because Can
ada and Mexico could bring them into
the border cities by payment of a
nominal duty. Hay, poultry, eggs,
market truck and like products were
drug in all this section of the
country, because Canada could ship
them into the border cities and the
East by the payment of a nominal
duty. The result was a glutted mar
ket and low prices. Specific duties
were imposed by the Dingley law. and
as the result even eggs were given
a satisfactory value in Indiana cities.
Just now the prices of such articles
are high because of the half or less
than half crop of last year. Abund.
'ance may come next year, when, even
with the greater demand, prices will
shrink without Canada's crop. And
for this giving up of market Canada
gives nothing in return. Indiana
farmers pay taxes to support govern
ment, and they are large consumers

Feather PRAYER Sticks.

Feathers hold great Importance in
the religious and social ceremonies of
the Indians. Among the Navajoes and
Pueblos these plume emblems are be-
lieved to have the utmost efficacy for
good or evil. All about any Pueblo
town may be seen carefully whitfield
sticks, each with a tuft of downy
feathers, generally white ones, bound
at the top of it, They are prayer sticks
and are quite as curious as the prayer
wheels of Burma and the paper pray
ers of the Chinese. The feathers, stick
and manner of tying the feathers vary
according to the nature of the prayer.
The Indian who wishes to ask favor
of the "Trues" prepares his feather
prayer with great secrecy. Then, talk
ing it to a proper spot, he prays to
those above, and, planting his stick,
leaves it to continue his petition.

OF the products of the factory. Such
being the case, the Journal believes
they have right to an advantage in
the home market The giving away
of the home farmers market to Can
ada is a present to Canadian farm
ers, who are often nearer our larger
cities, who till cheaper soil and EN-.
ploy cheaper labor
If Canada's friends in the United
States are so anxious for what, by fig
ure of speech, they call reciprocity
why do they not require that Canada
shall pledge, before negotiations be-
gin, that the duty on American mer.
chandise shall be the same as the
duty on British merchandise, instead
of rs per cent higher? This discrim-
nation against the United States is
never mentioned by the advocates of
so-called reciprocity, probably because
they know that Great Britain, which
makes Canada's trade treaties, will
not consent to equal duties on mer.
chandise imported into Canada. The
advantage of 25 per cent in favor
of Great Britain is equivalent to a
protective duty of 25 per cent for the
merchandise of Free-Trade England
when imported into Canada.-Indian-

The first change proposed in the

RECIPROCITY NOT DEFINED.
Should Be Let Alone Till More Is
Known About Ii.

1t is stated that the Senate will do
nothing this session with the eleven
reciprocity treaties that have been in
the hands of the foreign relations COM
mittee for two years. They were
framed previously by the special COM
missioners of the State Department,
but the subject is in a nebulous con-
dition, and thus far the Senate COM
mittee has not agreed upon a report.
In any case, none is likely to get
through the Senate. Reciprocity is
an untraveled sea and involves SO
much of doubt that experienced legis-
lators hold back. A striking COM
munication on the subject from An
drew Carnegie appears in the New
York Tribune. Mr.. Carnegie says that
as a member of the Pan-American con-
ference he was at first attracted by
the idea, but that further consideration
impresses him that reciprocity is best
mics" A reciprocity treaty with one
nation will displease all others. France
would be jealous of German textiles,
and Brazil of Argentina's products.
Custom duties would be the result of
special hagging, "a pretty scramble
among nations, war of tariffs, never
ceasing." Mr.. Carnegie is willing to
give Cuba a lump sum, but not a pref
erence that will create hard feeling in
other countries.
In Cuban reciprocity there would be
a lasting cause of offense to other ma
tions. Cuba would be preferred over
other countries in North America.
Why, for instance, discriminate
against our intimate and friendly
neighbor, Mexico? A cut of 20 per
cent for Cuba, leaving Mexico to pay
the same as the rest of the world,
would not be equitable or sensible.
The best thing that can be done with
the reciprocity proposition is to shelve
it until better understood. 1t seems
that the Senate committee can make
no progress with it in general way.
A tariff treating all nations alike is
safe and satisfactory, and should not
be disturbed until something absolute
ly known to be superior is presented.
Reciprocity is puzzle, something I'M
tested. 1t is a system of favoritism,
and must be handled with extreme
care. Let it rest until comprehended.

WHALES STRANDED IN PORT.
Cut Off from Escape by the Ebb-
ing Tide at Port Royal.

A school of eight whales, one large
and the others quite small, entered the
harbor of Port Royal, S. c., few days
ago and got into trouble near Paris
Point. They were feeding near shore
and six of the small ones entered a
slough at the deepest point. The big
whale came next and succeeded in
turning around in the narrow channel
flanked by mud banks and went plung-
ing to sea, accompanied by one small
whale.
Those enclosed by mud banks were
not so fortunate. The tide was rapidly
ebbing AMI they did not take the alarm
till cut off from retreat. Their frantic
charges one way and another only got
them further out of the water. All
had persisted before low tide, and they
are still there. These are the first
whales that have appeared in Port
Royal for many years. Forty years
ago they were not uncommon there.

years old. In 1885 nthese myriads Of
insects entered the earth, and since
then they have lived seventeen
years in darkness, waiting for the free

eggs in the green twigs of the trees,
and few weeks later the baby cicadas
escaped from their shells, fell to the
ground and quickly burrowed into the

SHADE TREES ALONG

THE GOVERNMENT WOULD ENHANCE

Department of Agriculture Will Distribute
Trees Through Senators and Con-

The department of agriculture has
recently offered to each senator and
congressman seventy~fve shade trees
to be planted in his district. This de-
cision has evoked the following COM
ment from Leslie's Weekly:
mot a little ridicule has been heap
ed upon the department of agriculture
at Washington for years past because
of its annual distribution OF seeds
among congressman. but nothing OF
the kind will occar, we may be sure
because of the determination OF the
department this year TO assign to each
senator and representative 10 shade
trees.
The distrlb button of trees, it need
hardly be said. is not desi gned 10 en-

each representative shall receive the
