A great many peo- pie contend that as he has made such a success of his profession that he would be equally successful as mayor of Bir- mngham, but the doctor does not see 1t in that light, and is content to remain in the private walks of life, helping all those who are suffering from diseases which other physicians have failed to rtira

CANADA NIGHT BALK.
Her Consent to Reciprocity Plan
Not at Al Certain.
TFRoM THE TRIBUNE pUREAU.l

Washington, Nov. 22-Considerable fresh dis
cussion on the subject of reciprocity with Can
ada has been started by the visit to the White
House last Saturday of Eugene n. Foss. a
brother of Representative Foss, of Chicago who
has made two campaigns for Congress in a
Boston district solely the Canadian reciproc-
ity issue, each time being defeated by Demo-
cTat.
While in Washington for few hours Mr..
toss, in interviews, attributed the overwhelm-
ing election OF Democratic Governor in Massa-
chusetts wholly TO the demand in that State for
generous reciprocal trade relations with Can
ada, avoiding any explanation of his own de-
feat and emitting any mention of the fact that
Canada has never given any definite indications
of seeking the sort of reciprocity that would be
most advantageous to Massachusetts manufact-
urers
Some light on this feature Of the proposition
is contributed by r. r. Pringle an influential
business man of Cobourg. Ontario, who is visit
ing Washington, and who calls attention to the
fact that it takes two to make bargain, and
who intimates pretty broadly that Canada would
probably want to sell to Massachusetts just
about the same products which are now
keted in New-England by sthe States of the
United States which lie west of the Allegheny
Mountains, and whose representatives in Con-
gress would have to be considered when a vote
was reached in Senate House.
In Canada we hear the echoes of the reciproc-
ty talk going on in Boston and some other
parts of the United States. and we simply
laugh" said Mr.. Prir gle. 1T is very fine for
Mr.. FOss and others of your prominent states
men to shout for reciprocity with Canada but
who informed them that the Dominion was her
self in any humor to reciprOcate?'
1t strikes me that this Is a case where Il
takes two to make a bargain. We have adopted
the same protective system that you have in
the United States, only not quite so extreme
with the same good results, and we are going
to adhere to that policy. / do not mean that
there are not some trade agreements with the
states would not be willing to make
think Canadians generally would be glad of q
removal of duties on wheat and other cereals
and on livestock. If the tax these products
of the farm were abolished 1t would be a good
thing for the people both sides of the line,
but this could hardly be expected
AS matter of fact. Canada has been enor-
mously benefited by the protective principle
and isn't going to surrender it. To conclude
reciprocity agreement with the United States
ishtng industries. 1t would put us in the same
condition in which England finds itself to-day,
a dumping ground for the products of other
countries Nobody in Canada wants this. and
hence, while your Englanders can go
bithely on in their plausible arguments for reel
proclty, we are content to stand pat and wonder
how 1t would profit them if they should convert
the whole Yankee nation to their views
