RECIPROCITY MAY STIR UP NAT
TIERS.

Some OF the republican Insurgents
of the West who assailed the republi-
can majority in Congress and the
Taft administration in nection
with the Payne Aldrich .ariff law on
the ground that the revision was not
sufficiently downward, may have to
eat their words when reciprocity with
Canada is taken in hand at Washing
ton or reverse themselves regarding
protection upon the products Of their
particular States
The readers CT the FREE PRESS
have already noted the manner IN
which protective duties upon prod

IT IL not impossible. however. that
those who expect this now trade ar

lingtons experience has been that
overy dollar taken off tho duty on
lumber was added to the price in Can
ada, and we paid the same price az
before or more. on the other hand,
some Burlington capital which would
have operated on this side of the
boundary but for Canada's protective
duties may come back TO this coun-
try under new conditions and we as
sumo that what is true of Burlington
will apply to other places likewise.
All things considered we do not APP
orehend any economic revolution to
result from Canadian reciprocity.
In the second place, II reciprocity
does mean radical changes in prices,
which 1t Is not reasonable to expect

the United States, 1t will he no more
disastrous to adopt ii AT once than to
try to do business under continued
agitation of the tariff by the next
Congress- and under the shadow IF
Wholesale democratic revision later

In the third place, holding republi-
can opinions as we do, we believe
there is less likelihood Of business
disaster with republicans keeping the
control OF the tariff in their own
hands, at least to a certain extent
than would follow, II by standing pat
at this time we were to incense Amer
lean consumers to a point where the
democrats would receive q mandate to
smash the tariff on the products of

on the other hand, closer trade re-
lations between the Dominion and the
United States will unquestionably
facilitate intercourse and promote
commerce between the two countries
tending to develop the Champla in

many Canadian products will seek
tide water via New England ports.
Moreoyer. in the end this section Of
the country will gain from Increased
tratfic more than it would be in a po-
sition to lose from any change In
prices. resulting from reciprocity.
All In all we believe nothing will be
gained by the republicans of Vermont
or Of any other state by frying to
block President Tafts program Of
closer trade relations with our neigh
hors OF Canada.

ENTIRE DEPARTMENT
RESPONDS TO CALL
Origin of the Conllagration Is Not
Known, but Thought to Have Been
Due TO Stump of Lighted Cigar
Swept Into a Trash Barrel at Clos
ing Time,

Fire in the warehouse of the
Rhodea-Burford House Furnishing
Company about 1880 o'clock last
night caused damage of about
$1,000 worth Of merchandise. The
warehouse is on Tenth street in the
rear of and connected with the sales
rooms on the corner OF Commercial.
The fire was stubborn one to
fight The warehouse was packed
with furniture floor coverings, bed
ding, etc. ard smoke was SO dense
that the fircmen had tro1ble in To-
eating tho hot places, they simply
kept pouring tons of water into the
building until it was well soaked,
All night long, after the fire,
Manager HALEY kept watch Of the
promises as several times fire would
appear in mattress or piece of
upholstered furniture, These were
taken out upon the street. Had the
entire contents been destroyed by
fire, the loss would have been double
that stated-the principle damage
was by water and smoke.
The big salesrooms are connected
with the warehouse only on the up-
per floor and the doorway between
the two is always kept closed by
fire doors. However, quite lot of
smoke siftcd through the bricks and
creviccs into the salesrooms, but how
much damage has been done here
has not been estimated George
Carnes was one of the first to ap-
pear upon the scene whom the alarm
was Given. He states that when he
first saw the fire 1t seemed to como
out Of a trash can and which set
fire to n piece of furniture beside it,
This theory is also advanced by
Manager HALEY, who says that prob
ably IL sweeping trash off the side

trash barrel which is of galvanized

into the warehouse at closing up
time and dumped the next morning,
The barrel last night was filled up
with trash and the trash in it was
still burning or smouldering an hour
after it had been taken out into the
street.
The loss is fully covered by in
