OR TR4DE WITH ETROPE.

The report of Mr.. Darwin P. Kingsley. pres-
dent of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, that no hostility to Americans or Ameri-
can institutions exists in Europe, and that the
markets of those countries are open to our
goods. exactly acc0rds with many former re-
ports on the same subject based upon intelli-
gent observation as well as with reason and
common sense. There is certainly no reason
why there should he hostility toward US any
more than there is for American hostility tow
ard Europe which. of course. does not exist
IT is true that in some respects our ways are
not as their ways and their ways are not rs
our ways: and every nation naturally prefers
its own ways to those of any other. But differ
ences of taste and of manners and customs
form no adequate basis for animosty. The ma
tions which differ most have after all more in
common than they have in seyeralty-
Practical business sense moreover, in which
European peoples are assuredly not lacking. IS
bound in the long run TO control commercial
intercourse. over and above all merely senti-
mental considerations There has for many
years been much animosity between France
and Germany, particularly on the side Of
France perhaps more than between any other
two nations Yet large volume of trade has
been maintained between them. France has
been buying more from Germany and selling
more to her by far, than from and to any
Oiuer country IN IHe WOfd excepting Great
Britain and America, while France stands
fourth on the list Of European countries from
which Germany makes her purchases. People
will buy the things which they want wherever
they can do so TO the best advantage, regard
less Of the place of their origin. The question
with European purchasers is not whether the
goods are American lot but whether thev
are good goods, and the kind Of goods which
they want. and whether the prices are as low
those of other goods OF the same kind and
quality.
The fantastic notion is still now and then
put forward that tariff system acts as
n handicap upon foreign trade and cspe-
ciaIly upon our eXportatioH Of manufactured
goods Theoretically il surely seems abs1.l
to pretend that our protective system is on pin
ciuIr offensive to other lands which have evep
sitter protective systems. We have never
heard il to be an item of the protectionist creed
that 10 trading shall he done with fellow pro-
tectionists. Practically, of course, statistics
demonstrate the falsity of that notion Our
exports far greater than those Of any other

THE MEASURE OF REWARDS.

Mr. Bryan has promised to devote q large
part of his speech of acceptance to the meas
ure of rewards a subject to which he re-
ferred in his recent talk before the Nebraska
school teachers. He invited them to compare
their work and the financial returns 1t brought
them with the work and emoluments of the
bloated possessors of special privilege. The
object of his party was to scale the rewards
of life, not perhaps so that each would recog
nize the perfect Justice Of his own, but so that
any unprejudiced critic would recognize the
fairness of the whole. There should be
measure Of rewards which would leave no
place for envy in the wOrd-and incidentally
we should say. none for future Bryan cam
paigns.
But suppose this measure Of rewards" were
applied to Mr. Bryan himself. Let every hum
bic metaphor maker in the country, mute and
inglorous. ask himself whether three nomna
tons at the hands of the Democratic party,
and more in prospect, the unquestioned leader
ship of that party. wealth and worldwide
fame are the fair and equtable reward for
making one bad metaphor. If Mr.. Bryan had
not used his "cross of gold and crown of
thorns' figure at a critical juncture none of
these things would have been his. He would
probably by this time have been forgotten
Boy Orator. Yet how many men have made
metaphors Just as bad as that and have not
escaped from uncongenial obscurity! Is that
Justice? Is Mr. Bryan the bloated possessor
of special privilege? VIII the measure Of
rewards" make such reaping of what you have
not sown impossible for the future? Or will
the measure of rewards be elastic enough
to allow for the caprice of chance and the
irony Of opportunity?

THE BASIS OF yATIoy4L GREATNESS.

THE BASIS OF N4TTON4L GREATNESS.
No doubt President Roosevelts commission

glib critics welcome opportunity for smart
reflections on the folly of thinking that the ag
ricultura interests of the country can be seri-
ously Influenced by the conferences of any
handful Of men, however expert. 1t will be
easy for them 10 sneer at the Presidents action
as merely taken for political effect. This. how
ever. is 3 shallow view. although one entirely
in keeping with the attitude of many who first
laughed at the congress called to consider the
conservation of natural resources only to con

that it had awakened vast number of persons
10 a hopeful interest in one Of the most i'm
portant and pressing of our national problems.
Farming conditions. il Is true not 10 be

originality of method which characterized the
Presidents efforts for the preservation of our
natural resources have started movement
which is destined to have great influence in
developing the rural prosperity and social we'll
being which lie at the foundation of national
health
The farming question is at once social and
economic The national and state departments
of agriculture have hitherto concerned them
selves largely with the problems incident to
better crops. bat if the number and character
OF our farm population are to keep pace with
the growth of cities-and there is general
agreement that the national life depends on

MEDICATION OF THE WRIGHTS.

AS The Tribune has more than once remarked
the Wright brothers were amply warranted in
not giving public exhibitions of their airship
until they were ready. Having been paid 10
show what he had and how he used It, Mr.. Far
man deemed it advantageous to bring his aero
plane to America and allow the uninitiated and
the initiated to see just what he had accomplished
The Wrights. on the other hand, considered il to
their interest to lie low, possibly because they
wanted to study the details of their machine
carefully before attempting 10 make Il sale. and
also perhaps, to keep rival inventors from steal
ing their ideas. They were unquestionably the
first Americans to carry the development of the
aeroplane far enough 10 adapt it TO practical use
though they were largely indebted to a fellow
countryman, Chanute for the demonstration of
what could be accomplished without an engine
or propeller and to the example of Langley.
No one can blame them for pursuing their own

cent larger than those of the United Kingdom
and about 80 per cent larger than those OF tue
German Empire. Nor is it true, as some sug-
gest, that our exports are chiefly foodstuns'
manufactured The fact Is that foodstuns,
including animals in their raw state, amount
to less than 10 per cent Of our exports, that
foodstuffs both raw and manufactured amount
to less than 2S per cent, that raw materials OF
all kinds amount TO only a fraction more than
II per cent and that more than % per cent
of our exports are manufactured goods
The prime requisite for further expansion or
our foreign commerce in Europe as we have ire
uuently urged with respect to South and Cen
tral America, is not to overcome animoslty,
which does not exist, nor to abolish our tarin,
which is no obstacle, but TO adapt our wares
and our methods of business to the market
which we seek and to the patrons whom we
would serve. If we do that we shall have
