The Dominion OF Canada bought
S2Bs,t95,s5O worth Of merchandise
from other countries in the fiscal year
ending in March, 1909. OF this
amount 3t70,O56.17S worth was
bought from the United States. The
United States, then, supplied 52.2O per
cent OF CsnAda'B imports, very good
showing Of trade. On the other hand
the United States received only 9s. Is

neither as good nor yet very bad.
It is generally believed that reel
prooity between these two countries
would vastly promote their trade rela-
tons and not only that, but establish
system OF mutual benefit by which
each country might increase its bust
ness at home as we'll as abroad. Henry
NJ. whitney, writing in the current
Atlantic, brings out this point very
forcibly. He contends that II tariff
barriers we're entirely removed manu-
featuring enterprises would soon find
their way to the western extremity of
Canada, Just as they have to the west
ern coast Of the United States and
that along from the Atlantic to the
Pacific would be way stations of pow
erful revenue-producing sources like
Milwaukee, 81. Paul, Minneapolis, Des
Moinea, Omaha, Kansas City, Denver.
Salt Lake. This chain Of trade and
industry would be continuous. I'm
doubtedly such development could be
facilitated by a reciprocity arrange
ment, such as President Taft Is sesk-
ing to effect
The opposition to this treaty now
seems to come chiefly from Canada.
but there is some in the United States.
To this Mr.. whitney puts the question
effectively when he says that even II
reciprocity now on broad lines is not
possible. why should we deny our
selves the advantage that would &C
crue to us from at once allowing the
products Of CAnSdas fisheries, farms.
forests and mines TO come here free
OF duty"
II the United States, without reci-
procity and with untavorable tariff
barriers, supplies Canada with $3.50
per cent of It's imports and receives
from Canada Se.1s per cent of It's ex-
ports, the question naturally arises.

Democratic candidates and cam
paigh managers in Nebraska would
like very much to keep the liquor
question to the fore to the exclusion
Of every vital question in which the
people OF Nebraska are interested.
They are trying their best to side-step
every other Issue that is involved In
order to make people believe that
nothing else is at stake in the coming
election but the demand of the anti
saloonists for the enactment Of q
county option law.
The fact IL, and we believe the fact
will not be overlooked, that much
larger issues are at stake. While the
liquor question must. in the very ma
ture Of things, be settled locally by the
choice Of members Of the legislature.
the personalities Of the candidates, ir-
respective of party labels, will have to
be considered in the interest OF good
government. The voters must realize.
as most OF them already do, that the
ticket almost from top to bottom.
The democratic nominee for gov

tions. He had previously served on
the state Board Of Transportation
long enough to make himself solid
with the railroads, and in his present
campaign he has the unanimous back
ing, not only OF the brewers and liquor
dealers organizations, but also Of the
railroads and other big faVOT-seeking
corporations.
The democratic nominee for lieuten-
ant governor, who might, II elected.
become governor under certain con-
tingencles, was the corporation bell
wether in the lower house Of our late
democratic legislature. The lobby
bunch tried to make him speaker. and
It was not their fault that they failed.
and they are now trying to make him
presiding officer of the senate in its
next session, where he can be equally
useful to them.
The democratic candidate for rail-
way commissioner, which Is the next
ONCE most serviceable to the corpora
lions. has been belled as a corporation
trusty ever since the days when lobe
Castor was in the game handling dem
ocrR.ic politics for the railroads.
Going down the line, the trail Of the
corporation serpent can be seen right
through the democratic ticket, and
when It comes to legislative prefer

the allied corporations have found

Democratic Tariff Cant.


Evidently the big card Of the dem
ocratic campaign is to be played
against the possibility Of further re-
vision Of the tariff by the republicans,
the purpose obviously being to dis
credit the republicans before the peo-
pie. That is undoubtedly the meaning
Of the reported plan Of the interests
to kill the entire tariff board propa-
ganda in congress and OF the circula-
ton as campaign material Of Champ
Clarks speech delivered in the house
May 21, 1910, in which he denounced
the tariff board plan and the pres
ident's earnest effort to secure q per
manent tariff commission, in these
words:
The last section Of the sundry OWL
bill; that is, the one appropTtatln6 F150,O0o
per annum to create q tariff commission,
should be entitled, "A motion to POSTPONE
the verdict of the people on the tariff
bill"
This speech is being sent in
pamphlet form broadcast under the
frank of Congressman Lloyd ss q dem
ocratic campaign document. In itself II
is notice enough of the democrats In
tention to defeat, If they can, all fur
Their revision of the tariff and every
attempt to secure a permanent tariff
commission. At the same time their
plan Of campaign is to denounCo the
republicans for not making greater re-
auctions in the tariff. And for years
their leaders have been telling the
people that what the country needs is
a permanent tariff commission. But
back of this subtle scheme is the CO.
operation Of the powerful interests
which would be benefited II all re-
vision OF the tariff we're dispensed
with; the interests which the demo-
Gratis serve, while pretending to de-
nounce.
With this whole plan for sham bat
tie effectively exposed, it will be
strange IL the people are deceived by
it. For years the popular demand in
this country has been for a non-politi-
cal tariff commission, composed of
experts, and, under President Taft, the
first step was taken toward the de-
sired end when his tariff board be-
came a fact. Now, Just as the work iH
getting we'll under way, comes this
concerted action on the part of the
democratic party and the 'interests'
to stop II.
This Is another subject the voter
wants to keep in mind when he goes
to the polls this fall. Does he desire
to cast his ballot for the republican
nominees, who are pledged, with Pres
ident Taft, to proceed with tariff re-
vision; or does he wish to vote for the
party Of negation that has agreed to
block all revision that does not put us
on q free trade basis?

Homslsss on Yerrs Of Winter.

The devastating fires that have
wiped out homes and towns along the
Minnesota-C Canada boundary have pro-
duced want that must be relieved
promptly and adequately, or more
acute suffering will come with the
rigors of winter, which is not far off
in that section. Reports indicate ap-
paliing wretchedness; lives lost.
homes aud industry wiped out; people
without shelter or clothing or food. 1t
Is a terrible state Of affairs and calls
for heroic action. The Canadian
Northern railroad and big lumber
firms are rendering valiant help to-
ward carrying people to places Of safety
and comfort and preparing to erect
new temporary dwellings. But there
is the great crisis-temporRry houses
on the Canadian boundary make poor
defenses for the riEors Of Canadian
winters
These recurring eonflagratiOns are
appalling enough to bring some
thought of an attempt to prevent
them. There must be way at least
of limiting the possibilities Of such
disasters. OF course nothing can be
done with great flames during a hur-
ricane. such as swept this country to
the north, but It Is generally agreed
that even forest fires may be pre-
vented, and II they can, then such
catastrophies as this one, which ticks
up whole towns, ought to be subject
to some sort of repressive influence.
At any rate the end will justify most
any means employed, even az an ex-
pertinent OF prevention.
