MARKETFORFA RMER'
Reciprocity With Canada Ben
Gifts the United States.
FEATURES OF THE COMPACT
Removal Of Tariff Duties Productive
Of Greater Trade for American
Agriculturist.

The fact that the reciprocity agreement
between Canada and the United States is
intended to enlarge the market for the
agricultural products of the United
states is sometimes lost sight of in the
general discussion of the benefits aris-
ing from the improved trade relations
between the two countries. But the
American negotiators indicate that they
had the market for the farmer in view all
along. The fact is that Canada is not
only a growing market, but it has almost
unlimited possibilities for many products
of the American farmer which hereto
fore have had q limited sale. owing to
the tariff duties.
The Canadian market is especially valu-
able for the products of mixed farming.
The greatest opposition that has been
aroused In Canada has come from the
fruit and the vegetable growers. Under
the new conditions which will be created
when the reciprocity agreement is made
effective, the United States will be GER
tain to sell Canada very large quanti-
ties of fresh vegetables, since these arli
cles already form an important export
commodity, reaching something like
$1,OUO,UOO.

MORE UNFITNESS.
New York World

New York World
To practical lawmaker like Ex-Sen-
ator Aldrich, who gave final shape to
the tariff schedules Of 1909, the deci-
sion Of the house Democrats that here
after public business shall be done in
the open must be final proof Of their
party's unfitness to govern.
1t is unthinkable that Mr. Aldrich
would have Inundated the wooden trust
and the cotton goods men and the steel
trust and the crockery interests by re-
curing them to state in the presence
Of outsiders what protective duties
they were entitled to in return for
their political services. All that is
said in a committee room when tariff
bill is being framed is not fit to print.
Imagine Mr.. Hines of Chicago, Sen
ator Lorlmer good friend the lumber
trust lobbyist, who haunted the CORR
doris of the capitol for weeks and enter
tanned senator's and representatives,
being compelled to do his work in the
open! The suggestion is indecent.
1t is bad enough that senators like
Guggenhem of Colorado and Scott of
West Virginia should have had to de-
mand on the floor of the senate high
duties on their own products. But to
make it rule that there shall be secrecy
about the making of tariff rates is to
strike at the very keynote of the arch.

An old statute permits the postal
authorities to forward a certain kind Of
second-class mail matter by freight and
the postmaster general has decided to
take advantage of it. Arrangements
have been made whereby magazines
and periodicals, heretofore transported
in the mail cars attached to passenger
Grains will be carried by fast freight
trains from and after Sept. l. 1t is
understood that this will be generally
satisfactory to publishers. They are to
be permitted to print on the wrapper of
each copy or bundle of their publica-
tons, as a part of the address, instruc-
tions as to the date on which delivery
is to be made, and postmasters have
been instructed to cooperate in efforts

vestigation shows them to be protective
of personal liberty and property rights,
then support him for president. If de-
structive of personal liberty or proper
ty rights, bitterly oppose his candidacy.
Such an investigation will show Wis
consin laws to be constructive, not
destructive; progressive, not reaction
airy; intelligently conservative, not
bHndly radical.
Senator LaFollette is a statesman,
not politician; keep thinker, not a
demagogue. His candidacy presents an
opportunity to nominate and elect a
president on his record and not on an
other man. endorsement or promise to
follow in another's footsteps He can,

aud If nominated will unquestionably
be elected.

Where Was He AT?

The Stockton Herald has a problem:
They have a railroad turn-table there
81 feet long; man stood on the wall
at given point, and as the turn-table
started to move he started to walk
across it. He finished walking just as
the turn-table stopped, and he got off
at the exact point on the wall where
he started. What was the shape of
the figure circumscribed by the line of
his footsteps, and what was the length
of the line? What was the difference,
if any. between the greatest length
and the greatest width of the figure?
