Rejection of Reciprocity.

By a most decisive vote the peo-
pie of Canada on Thursday last re-
jected the proposal of reciprocal
trade relations with the United
States. The majority was unexpect-
" large and the liberal government
which has been in power for many
years was completely routed. To
many people on this side of the line
the verdict is a bitter disappoint-
ment but to our mind this section OF
the country at least is better without
than with it. While reciprocity
seems the best method for encourag-
ing trade between two countries the
proposed arrangement with Canada
seems hardly broad enough. It's
lack of breadth evidently was due to
the ambition of the manufacturing
interests of Canada to supply the
demands of Canadians themselves
and not have the manufacturers this
side of the line in competition with
them. The manufacturers of Can
ada are strong believers in protec-
ton.
Nearly everyone is telling what
the effects of the rejection OF
reciprocity will be. We are little
concerned with the effects in Can
ada. They undoubtedly will be able
to take care of the situation there
without further advice or sugges-
ton from this side of the line. Here
it must awaken new interest in the
method of tariff changing. There
has been a strong demand for the
lowering of our tariff and reciprocity
offered the fairest means of accom-
plishing it. 1t was proposition to
lower our tariff on certain articles
so the Canadians could market those
articles on this side of the line to
better advantage in return for an
opportunity to market some OF our
goods in the Dominion to our advan-
tage. 1t would have meant the loss
of some revenue to our government
but an enlarged market for some OF
our manufactures.
Now the question arises whether
we wish to go on and smash ou1
tariff and allow Canada to come to
our markets without any reciprocal
privileges in their markets. 1t car
hardly be expected. If the Canadians
propose to keep their markets clos
ed to us we should not make oul
markets free to them. That is thu
only proposition they are willing tt
make US and thus far that is thu
only method open to us for tariff
changing. This certainly will no
aid American labor nor protect thu
immense capital now invested in en-
terprises that are sustaining mil
lions of American citizens.
While the rejection of reciprocit,
should not restrain US from chang
ing our tariff wherever impartial in
vestigation shows it should be don
it undoubtedly will restrain the ten
dency to tariff smashing" that ha
been so much in evidence. 1t wi
probably bring new support t
American labor, American enter
prise and American development.

Another Cooperative Move.


The news dispatches have an
nounced that before renewing con-
tracts for supplying milk to the Bos-
ton and Providence contractors, the
farmers of Rhode Island are making
a canvass to see if they cannot form |
a cooperative association to handle /
all farm products as we'll as milk. |
This is a move in the right direction |
and it is hoped it will be successful. |
The matter of collecting for the
market and distribution to the con-
sumner of the farmers produce is one
that should be speedily settled on
business principles if the cost of liv-
ing is to be made reasonable and the
work of the farmer made reasonably
profitable. Today the farmer and
the consumer are the victims of an
unreasonably large middle class.
There are more men in the whole
sale and commission business of
handling farm products and more in
the retail business than the farmer
and the consumer can afford to sup
port. Wherever there are three
wholesale men doing business that
one wholesale man could do just as
well the farmer has to accept a
price for his products that will give
three times the profit it ought to the
wholesale business. Wherever three
retail grocers are in business where
the business could be done just as
well by one the consumers must pay
three times the profit to the retailer
than they ought. But there will be
three times the wholesalers and re-
tailers there should be just as long
as the farmer and the consumer will
allow them to hold the price to the
farmer low enough and the price to
the consumer high enough to make
should be.
The only remedy is a regulation
of the number of middlenen to be
supported by the producer and the
consumer. OF course this cannot be
done by law or by restriction of
trade through agreement. It can be
done by cooperation. Enough farm
ers can unite to give wholesale or
can proftably do and in that way
receive a higher price themselves
for the goods they furnish him.
He can hold their business because
they are getting higher prices than
they can from any other agency. To
follow the method to it's logical end
the consumers should also organize
on cooperative basis and have their
agent or retailer distribute to as
large a number as can be done at
profit. He too would be sure of
his trade because he could undersell
the retailer in competitive business
who is obliged to charge a higher
rate of profit on his reduced volume
of business.
There is very little hope of any
reduction in the cost of living out
side of reducing the cost of distri-
button. The cost of producing farm
crops is more likely to increase than
otherwise and the consumer will not
be satisfied with a cheaper grade of
food than he now enjoys and will
continue to demand it's delivery at
his door in such quantities and at
such times as he may desire. So
there is no relief in these directions.
The only relief is an improved sys-
tenn Of collection and distribution
and cooperation is the most prom
Using improvement in sight. So
the matter of cooperation is a great
business problem that must be work
ed out if the consumer and the farm
er are to receive their just dues.

draw $90,OO0,00O year. These
are large figures but the average

1--WE realize that the solution
of4this health problem flies in pre-
vention, and we are working to
that end. But until preventive
measures are adopted, the best
substitute is the sanitarium treat
ment.
"The cost of the treatment for
each patient at Naperville. is $500
but each $500 means life saved.
We; are becoming better organ
lied for a fight on the white pla-
que. At present we have an ex-
aiming staff of E physicians and
three specialists, all women, and
the girls apply to them for exam
nation, at no cost to the patient.
But it is in no sense charity, for
their bill is paid by the league,
and Of course all the girls pay the
bill indirectly with their dues,
''Our bed is paid for the rest of
the year, and we intend to con-
tinue it, with the addition of 9th
ers if the money can be secured.
1t costs $500 to save one human
life. Isn't it worth it? We think
it is, and we are going to fight
consumption this way until pre-
tentative measures are adopted
which will protect the health of
the girls"

culosis, through making work

failing in this, to- take care of the
girls and women who are strick-

Unsanitary conditions IN many
of the workshops of the city are
nenacing the health Of working
women. The dread white plague
is a constant fear because of
these conditions.
At the sanltarlum at Naper-
vile, HI, a bed is maintained by
the League for the treatment of
tuberculosis patients, and in the
last year three girls have been
sent there. Two of them have re-
turned to work, cured, and the
third is. reported to be recovering
rapidly,
Because of shortage of funds,
the league has been able to main
