RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
Chicago Business Men Applaud Stand

Chicago. Nov. Widespread belief
in the adyisability OF reciprocity with
Canada was expressed by ChicagOans
as "A result of speech on that topic de-
livered before the Merchants club sat

prominent in finance and business de-
clared with scarcely dissenting voice
that they were in entire accord with
Mr.. HIS position.
It was pointed out that betterment
Of trade relations with our northern
ncighbor would mean an extension of
the Canadian market to the products
of the United States and that such an
extension would particularly benefit
Chicago and the northwest. Even
men who are not in sympathy with
free trade ideas expressed themselves
IN favor of some lowering Of the tarln
wall ms far rs Canada IS concerned.
II was declared that American busl-
ness men as whole have lost through
the absence Of better trade relations
with the Dominion. Occasion also WAS
taken To sound note Of warning TINT
the establishment Of improved rela-
tions should not be long delayed. for
Canadians are declared to be chang

the nation should be prepared for any
emergency. Areyou prepared to success
