RECIPROCITY AS SHE is PLAYED

AS SHE Is fIAlED.
Several years ago English goods enjoyed a tariff
preference from Canada. which Germany resented to
such extent that it gave everybody preference
over Canada England objected yociferously to this
treatment of her ward but Germany not only did not
heed but threatened to discriminate against England
itself in the event that other British colonies followed
Canadas example Of treating the mother country
preferentially.
England therefore considers the ACCESSIBILITY of
placing itself in position TO retalate against Ger
many, should the latter execute the threat Lord
Lansdowne, speaking for England's tariff position
says I'VE are among the commercial nations like an
unarmed man who goes into room among men each
of whom has revolver. We ought to buy large re-
vover and let everybody see it. Our market is the
greatest in the world and threat to close it could not
be ignored"
What pretty Illustration is this of the benign doc
trine of reciprocity!
Carried to its legal conclusion, reciprocity MS en-
ployed by the great tariff nations means that nterna
tonal trade shall altogether series of retalia
ton for instance the shutting out by Germany
of all foreign products. Soon Germany would be rele-
gated to the products which it could provide within its
tariff wallis. Not only trade starvation but actual
famine among its people would be the result. OF
course Germany contemplates no such catastrophe-a
ready ii is suffering severely from the effects of rec
procity of only the mildest sort as nothing to the
sort of legislation our own trusridden tariff-makers
could furnish, for instance
England's big revolver will do very well-for the
punishment of Germany, but not for the health and
benefit of England Johnny Bull would better remain
the man of gumption among the armed roysterers:
they will likely kill each other Off while he will con-
time in strength.
Where can reciprocity" such as now waged gen.
orally by the tariff countries end? Only in crpplipr
international trade Certainly not in the furtherinc of
trade. Certainly not in the universal equalization of
products TO consumption. The principle of supply and
demand which underlies other principle of trade
utterly ignored in the realiatory measures practced
by one high-tariff country upon another
Nations, like men, can only learn business pripc-
pies by experience. Men have already learned that
throacutting retaliation is disastrous among them
selves: their knowledge of business principles and es
pecally of the principles Of live and letliye has only
come through experiencing the disasters of violating
those principles II has been said with degree of
wisdom. that men can be taught to profit together
only by suffering together And it is probably trnc
that the universal recognition Of international
trade principles only come through the tariff ago.

If the national Republican machine ignores Iowa
ism in making up the platform of 1904 the campaign
will afford demonstration of the lengths to which
politicians may safely go in defyng the voter From
every standpoint except that of privileged monopolies
which thrive by the tariff it would seem to be good
politics to give full expression to the revision senti-
ment OF the rank and file In desire for revision the
mass Of Republican voters are almost one with the
Democrats and upon fairly defined revision issue

The Buainess Side.

So much stress is placed on science
in agriculture Of late years. that a
young man might almost suppose the
books, bulletins and wise addresses tell
the whole story about farming The
reason so much is constantly being said
and written about the how and why
OF the latest methods and newest
ideas in farming is because these are
all that can easily be taught.
Fondness for hard work and q level
head, full of business sense, cannot be
acquired from bulletins or gathered
from expert advisers. The new ideas
help the brain and spare the hands,
but farming is still much more a busi-
ness than science. Now, as always,
hustle and good judgment are better
than a head full Of new notions with
out these qualities. System, order,
promptness, honesty, shrewdness, econ
omy, self-control, tact to manage work
men, all such are strictly business
qualities, and are likewise the foun-
dation of any great success in farm
impart most of these essentials, hence
the experiment stations say nothing
about them. But they are as import
ant as ever. An engineer without
locomotive and steam will not get on
very fast, neither will expert agricul-
tural knowledge succeed without busi-
ness qualities.
