must not be allowed the preferential
tariff rates. That is protectionism
straight and square. 1t gives the
preference to home ports, as it should
do. 1t is the policy of the United
States. and no fault can be found with
it. If Canadians choose to pay the
higher cost of long railroad hauls to
the interior from the only open winter
ports of New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia, instead Of cheaper hauls from
Portland. Boston and New York, that
is their privilege. That they elect
to do this, however, does not promise
well for reciprocity. Canada is learn

As Maine Goes,

The Republicans of Maine, who are
right on the border and know Just
what Is involved In the proposition to
enter upon free trade with Canada in
natural products only, adopted the
following resolution at their state
convention in Bangor a few days ago:
"The Republican party stands for

with foreign countries of articles
which we do not produce, and our
own products needed in such coun-
tries. 1t opposes such reciprocity
with Canada as will flood our market
with Canadian lumber, fish, hay, po.
tatoes and other farm products. as II
would seriously embarrass many OF
Names important industries and es.
pccially that of agriculture. Under
present arrangements our trade with
Canada is constantly increasing. with
