PAID CIRCULATION.

The Evening Citizen has for some
time published at the head Of its col
umns the statement that il had the
largest paid circulation Of any paper
in the city Of Cairo. Some good PEG
pie in Cairo have been foolish enough
to accept this announcement as true
AS matter of fact it is far from the
truth. The Bulletin has had
for several months and has
now paid circulation far in eH.
cess of The Citizen or any other news
paper published N the city. The Brl-
letia stands ready to prove this as
sartion Il does not merely claim TO
have the largest paid circulation nut
the paper actually has it II makes
no claims for circulation which il
cannot establish as true.
If the Citizen win consent to an
examination of its records showing
It's paid circulation during the months
Of June and July, 1904. by
committee TO be appointed
by the Merchants League, The
Bulletin will give the same commit
tee every facility for investigating It's
paid circulation. The Bulletin further
that the paper which the
ascertains had the small
er paid circulation shall pay to the
Children's Home the sum of 500.

RoosEvELT's RECIPROCITY.


A single feature Of Mr.. Roosevelts
speech of acceptance will Illustrate
his present tendency to a coRserva-
tive understanding of policies. Re
states thus the Republican theory OF
reciprocity;
1--WE believe in reciprocity with for
eign nations on the terms outlined in
President MeKinlsy's last speech
which urged the extension Of our for
cign markets by reciprocal agree
ments whenever they could be made
without injury 10 American industry
and labor"
This brings MeKinley's memorable
plea for a broader ana more enlight-
ened policy In our trade relations with
the rest Of the earth almost down to
the meaningless idea OF reciprocity
cherished by Mr. Lodge and embodied
in the Chicago platform; that il to
say. reciprocity which expects some
thing and yields naught IN return. Let
US have reciprocity, says the platform
wherever reciprocal arrangements
can be effected consistent with the
principles of protection and without
injury to any American industry 3"
That OF course. means no reciprocity

word and such was the idea thai was
