costly reciprocity, ruinous reciprocity.
For a reason equally potent Massa-
chusetts should fight shy Of reciprocity
with Canada in competitive products.
| When that walks in at the front door

In the direction of the American farm
er. Mr.. Reed did hDt hesitate TO pre-
dict that protectfoa would not last long
after the farmers had discovered that
they were no longer counted In. Once
let the farmer find out that protection
is not for him, and he will see to it
that it is not for the manufacturer
either
AS we have said. it is surprising
that the exceptionally high average of
intelligence which prevails among the
]
chusetts should not instantly perceive
these things
That the movement for Canadian
reciprocity is n scheme originating
with and promoted by free traders.
That Canadian reciprocity would
work to the injury Of Massachusetts
industrial producers and not to their
advantage, because, while gaining no
new market i'm Canada for their. prod
ucts, it would be certain to lose to
them some portion of the market
which they already have in the Unit
ed States.
Canadian reciprocity in natural prod
ucts, the only kind Of reciprocity
which Canada will accept, would re-
suit in the downfall of the economic
system which now affords protection
alike to manufacturers, farmers, fish
ers, lumber workers and miners.

CONGRATULATIONS.

Mr.. John II. Cullom. editor of the
Garland (Tex) News, has written a
letter Of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy as follows: sixteen years
ago, when our first child was baby
he was subject to croupy spells and
we would be very uneasy about him.
We began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in 1887. and finding 1t such a
reliable remedy for colds and Group, we
have never been without 1t in the house
since that time. We have five children
and have given 1t to all of them with
good results. One good feature of this
remedy is that 1t is not disagreeable to
take and our babies really like 1t. An
other is that 1t is not dangerous, and
there is no risk from giving an over
dose. congratulate you upon the
success of your remedy For sale by

WHO is the PAR1y7

The Boone Republican suggests that
Mr.. Blyths seems disposed 10 fence off
the reservation again and the reserva-
ion newspapers seem delighted az the
prospect, despite recent experiences.
Everyone is shouting just now for
peace within the republican party. the
kind of reace which Mr.. Blythe sug-
gests and which the friends of the
Blythe himself. is little bit worried
and interviews himself in the Burling-
ton Hawkeye. saving that he UNDER
stands Iowa republicans are for Roose-
Welt and hence he is willing TO let it
he that way. altho he admits that he
rs working for the 20" railroad and
that the 20" is owned by the North
ern Securities Company.
The funny man of the stand pat"
press. however, Is evidently working
on the Cedar Rapids Republican. for
here is the picture he paints of the
DISTINGUISHED leaueT Oh StaHu Pat
forces:
For more than twenty years Mr..
Blythe has come and gone before the
people of this state. He is a man who
never asks the unreasonable IN
anything. He never deceives or dis
sembles. His word will be taken with
out bond anywhere. He has state
wide ACQUAINTANCE and because of his
unexampled fidelity his friends are
everywhere loyal and enthusiastic. II
anyone considers 1t good politics to
make a personal fight on j. w. Blythe
seeking to make him stand for what
he does not stand for, 1t will be found
that there are more men willing to take
off their coats and fight for him TO the
end. than for any other man IN Iowa.
unless it be Senator Allison.
There is no one to deny that Mr..
Blythe has many followers who VIII
take off their coats and work for him.
The railroad influence i'll politics has
often proved this. But 1t is still
legitimate question to ask. What right
has Mr.. Blythe to say to the republi-
can governor of Iowa and the men
wro have adopted the last three re-
,roiiean state platforms: you are not
ne republican party. l am the leader
Ss...n Mi. rule or else ruin.
