Grain Dealers and Reciprocity.

The National Grain Dealers asso-
citation not only went on record yes
terday in favor of reciprocity with
Canada but made it practically unan-
imous. These resolutions express the
belief that closer trade relations would
be commercially beneficial to the citi-
zens of both countries, declare that
an early, earnest effort should be
made by this country to bring about
such relations by treaty, urge = the:
American section of the joint high
commission to labor to this end and
CALI upon the president and congress
to take up the question at the earliest
possible time suggesting in that con-
nection that, in any such readjustment
of the tariff between the two .coun-
tries as may be decided upon, the duty
on wheat from Canada should be alto
gether removed, provided adequate
concessions can be secured from Can
ada in return therefor. Members of
the association are urged to cooper
ate with other organizations favorable
to Canadian reciprocity in promoting
] that desirable result. .s-5 -.
y z Strange as it may seem, there is
still some prejudice in the northwest,
principally among the northwestern
farmers, against any readjustment OF
our tariff relations with Canada,
which would let in Canadian wheat
free There are those among the
+ grain growers who look at the Is cent
tariff against Canadian wheat and
conclude that if Canadian wheat were
admitted to the United States free OF
duty the American product would be
reduced in price, just that much. L

WHAT THE MAGAZINES SAY

In the fact that the per capita Of money
in circulation in the United States has in
creased from $21.10 in 1895 to $29.04 in
1908. William A. Nash, a New. York bank
er finds ground for maintaining. in the
October North American Review that con
gress needs do nothing, just now at least,
to increase the supply of money. What
congress does need to do is to provide bet
ter methods of receiving and idisbursing
public funds, James H. Eckels follows
this with a discussion OF the government
and the banks, urging, the need Of "emas-
.culating, if not wholly abolishing, the
sub-treasury,' and the use of banks for
the deposits of the secretary of the treas
ury. Further he would give proper vital
| ity to the note issuing function" of banks.
