THE DIRECT PRIMARY FARCE.

1t was not to be supposed that the editor of the
Salem Statesman-an all-wise individual of rare
conceit should recognize that the opposition to the
direct primary law is well based, especially as his
name was used by the ''eague" which fostered the
measure We find him now trying to create the inn
preston that the constitution of the United States
says nothing about primary elections, from which
he concludes that the bill could not be unconstitu-
tional He suggests that some good lawyer should
very promptly offers his opinion Well, perhaps the
direct primary law is not unconstitutional, but at
all events it is disgraceful.
Our Salem contemporary, discussing the effect of
the law SO far it prohibits voters Of party from
voting the primary ticket of the other asks the fol-
lowing question::
Suppose the republicans should assert their right
to hold no primaries wouldn't that deprive the dem
ocrats of their right Of suffrage, the same as the
direct primary law does?"
If the republicans should fail to hold primaries,
they would have no ticket and therefore there could
be no possible reason for democrats to undertake
interference. The Astorian never asserted that
either democrats or republicans were deprived OF the
right to vote under the terms Of the new law. In
deed, the law was framed for democrats and repub-
licans. It aims at the right of the Independent ee-
ment to exercise its prerogative The Astoran still
persists that it is monstrous to require man to
publicly announce his political faith before he is
permitted to voe and even more at variance at least
with the spirit Of the constitution to prohibit an
Independent voter from expressing his choice Of
candidates. If there is one good provision in the
direct primary it has not yet been pointed out by
the Salem sage or any of the other politicians who
duped unsuspecting voters in the late election

TRADE WITH CANADA.

L
The rapid increase that is taking place in Cam
adas foreign trade is calculated to arouse greater
interest in the United States in efforts to secure
larger share of it for ourselves, Already about 40
per cent of Canada imports are furnished by this
republic and were it not for the existence OF tariff
barriers, this proportion unquestionaby would be
considerably increased
The domnion's foreign trade increased between
1901 and 1903 from $377 100000 to $459 900 600
an increase of about $s2,00000O Over $52,000,000
of this increase however, due to imports. Can
ada purchased far more than she sold and the
amount of her purchases tended annually to increase
Her imports, per capita, are treble those of the
United States, and steadily move upward.
1t is noteworthy too that in spite of all that has
been said about the failure" of Canadas prefer
entail tariff for the benefit of Great Britain her inn
ports from the "mother country, since the enact
ment of that law in 1897 have grown from 500 500,
600 to $5s 100000 practically 100 per cent 1t is
true that in the same period Canadas imports from
the United States increased from $65,000,000 to
$1235 500O00 or little 80 per cent, but taking
into consideration the contguty of territory and the
push and enterprise of the American people, that
small expansion of American trade in
Canada is not particularly iattering.
This subject Of the extension of American trade
relations with the dominion is of special moment just
now on account of the rapid development of the vast
wheat tracts of western Canada The people who
settling in this section Of Canada are destined to
become large consumers of many classes Of articles
that are manufactured in the United States 1t is
not improbable, also, that we may soon need their
wheat to help feed the denizens of American cities
and towns 1t is notorious that, owing to the swift
growth of our urban population, our exports Of
wheat and of wheat -four are steadily dwndling, and
should this tendency continue there appears every
likelihood that it WILL it is only matter Of short
time when stern necessity will compel us to adopt
more liberal trade relations with our northern neigh
Dor.
The truth is that had it not been for the prevail
ence Of dense Tory sentiment in Canada at the time
of our row with George ILL., we should today be en-
ioyng complete reciprocity" with Canada, j,,st as
the state of New York is enjoying reciprocity with
Massachusetts,, New Jersey, Pennsylvania an the
rest Of the union. That is to say, Canada would
constitute part of the great republic, and nobody,
for an instant, would dream that the fact meant
harm to the economic welfare of the present popua
tion of the United States.

 ENTIRE BURDEN Western Railroad Stocks Give Some Assistance COTTON CARRIERS JAGGED Late Rise In Union Pacific Released the Market From Some of
 the Restraint
 Upon It.

New York, September so.-United States Steel preferred bore practically the whole burden of supporting the price level in Inc stock market up to late in the day when there was a revival Of the rumor that a settlement had been arranged at by compromise of the contest over the manner of distribution of assets of the Northern Securities company. A jump pf points in Northern Securities on the rurb resulting in Union Pacific rising In sympathy on the stock exchange.
 The western railroad syocks came into better demand after that and threw off the dragging influence which held them In check early in the day. Official dis claimors of the reported settlement of the Northern Securities suit did not seem to alter the effect of the report. The buy ing of United States Steel preferred was In enormous volume. The indications that some of the demand was coming from in- huential banking houses added to it's sentimental influence. There was no news to account for the movement beyond the reiterated reports of expanding demand for iron and the inference that a larger consumption of steel and its finished forms would be a sequel There were fumors in circulation again that the cor poration was availing itself of it's privi- elge to convert preferred stock into the second mortgage bonds but there was no official sanction for this report
 The strength of the stock was not af- fected by assertions that prices of steel billets were being shaded below the price agreed upon nor by reported large orders placed with outside tin plate makers at prices below the corporation schedule
 The laggard movement in the cotton carriers was attributed to the publica- ton by an authority in the trade of the estimated condition of the cotton crop Tor October 1, showing a large deteriora- lion from the September 1 condition It was obvious that the strength of United States ~,eel preferred was available to a very large extent to take profits all through the general list and with the ex- ception of the New York public service stocks and a few other specialties there were no important advances until the late rise in Union Pacific released the market from some part of the restraint upon It. The tranquility of the money market lessened the influence of forecast of the currency movement which have promise of decidedly unfavorable bank state ment although there was some hesitation In the stock market when the estimates Df the cash movement first made their ap- pearance. The sub-treasury had taken From the banks up to Thursday night $6,- s9OOOO, and something more than a mill lion dollars additional is estimated to have gone out on the direct movement An expansion in the loan item would not be surprise, although the extent to which the trust companies have been taking over loans from the banks will affect the showing. The strength of the Pacifics was taken advantage of.
 Bonds were strong on a widely distrib- nted demand. Total sales. par value, s6,-

New York Financial Chronicle by pri- vate wire to Gotham & Co.-Advices to us by telegraph this evening indicate that on the whole the weather has been favorable during the week, where rain has fallen the precipitation has been light as rule and over a considerable portion of the belt dry weather has prevailed.
 As result of the satisfactory conditions the work of gathering has made satis- factory progress although checked some- what In localities by scarcity of labor and the movement to cotton to market has been extremely free
 The movement of cotton this week ag- gregated something ike 540.0o0 bales or not far from the record figure of the previous season.
 The high record .j generally reached during the latter part of October or the mi~dle of November and the earliness of the high figures has resulted in considera-
 ble confusion in the trade. Some are inclined to argue that the crop must be a
 large one as judged from the marketing. Others contend that the exhaustion last season and resulting sactfvity among pur-
 chasers for first of the new crop are responsible for the free movement To whatever caused the large receipts can be assigned, -he appearance of so much cotton brought about the anticipat- ed decline In prices.
 week ago 1t was evident that fac tors generally were against the cotton market at 10A cents and above. It took some days for factors to make their im- pression upon the market and it was not until the early part of the week that the downward movement attained any momentum. As is usual under such cir | cumstances the progress is likely to be farther than justifiabe and the weakness | is in evidence canno. safely be regarded , as <an adequate indication of the future I movement of prices any more than could the position of lAe market at 10.95 for December and Janua-y last week,
