TARIFF AND RECIPROCITY IN l0t.

y Reader" wants to know how tn,
republicans can go into the next ma
tional campaign consistently as pro-
tectionists with reciprocity in force
and expect to win against the demo-
Gratis on the tariff issue. That is
fair question and one that strikes at
the very root of the matter liRelv 30
be- uppermost in the next presidential
campaign,
1t may help us to clear under
standing Of the SITUATION if We care.
fully note the distinction between reel
procity and free trade on tho one hand
and protection on the other. 1t Is
strange how many people fail to keep
these differences clear.
Free trade In relation to commod-
tiles in the United states would mean
that any country in tho world produc-
Ing them could sell them in our mar
kets without restraint. no matter
whether that country bought anything

mercial concession in any way,
II we had absolute free trade in this
country IT would lie utterly impossible
to talk about reciprocity with anv
country, for having opened our mar
kets to the nations Of he world, We
would have no further Inducements 70
offer any country to open its market
to our products. In other words,
through free trade we would give away
all our commercial attractions for
other nations.
Having adopted protection of our
markets We are in a position TO say
To any particular nation, I'VE VIII
trade with YOU If you will reciprocate
or we Will give you certefn trade con
cessions, II YOU will give us certain
concessions in return" That is reel

were accustomed to Tho idea that "recl,
