BUsiNEssLlkE RECIPROCITY.

In that portion of the governor 5
campaign address devoted to reciproci-
ty some strong views of reciprocity are
presented that will lease business
men. The governor believes that reci-
procdty should be sonnet hing more Than
a campaign slogan to be juggled With
BY orators according to the likes OIL the
community in which they perform He
believes that just as protection gives
the home producer preferential advan-
tacss In home markets reciprocal
treaties properly negotiated would give
American producers preferential adj
yantages in foreign markets and do the
same great work for American indus
try now done by protective tariffs. He
speaks of practicable reciprocity,
however. one that gives something in
return for concessions abroad and be-
iieves that we need not fear the letting
down of tariff bars If VIE feel sure we
are getting better advantages in re-
turn. Reciprocity. according to Cum
mias. is commercial barter and he
wastes little time on the theorists who
sx nect TO get something of advan taige
thru ii Without giving something of
value in return.
