RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.

The enactment Of legisl alton that
proposes q trade agreement with Can
ada will probably be followed by re-
suite that will be disappointing to
both the advocates and opponents OF
the measure. For several weeks the
so.called Canadian reciprocity bill
has been under discussion in the
United States senate-its supporters
predicting great public benefit from
the proposed trade agreement. and the
opposition anticipating dire disaster
from its operation-but these expecta.
tions may be due TO erroneous conclu.
sions.
The stu ation, as viewed from q
western standpoint, warrants the be-
lief that the effect of the trade agree
ment will be p%rejudicial to American
agricultural interests to some extent,
but to what degree is problematical
The changesmay be SO trifling that 1t
can scarcely be detected, or the result
of Can adam competition may depress
the prices OF agricultural products to
an Improbable fgure-a practica al test
is the only method by which the effect
Of q trade agreement with Canada a
be determined.
In the 10 atter Of benefit to American
industries, other than agricultural,
the result of the proposed Canadian
( rade agreement cannot be accurately
foretold. President Taft and other
advocates Of the proposition may be
greatly mistaken as to the advantages
that will accrue from the new business
arrangement with our northern neigh.
bors. In this respect, also, there may
be surprise and disappointment over
the result OF the changed conditions.
1t is natural that the opposing ele-
ments in legislation of an important
character should entertain extreme
views regarding the matter, and that
has been the case in the controversy
over Canadian reciprocity. The ar.
guments for and against it's adoption
have exaggerated its probable benefit
and disadvantages. When the agree
ment becomes operative, and has bee
given a fair test, it will probably de
velop that no great benefit has beel
derived and no serious injury suffered
by the American people. Should tn
result be as harmful as predicted by tn
prophets of disaster, there should b
no difficulty in securing the abroga
ton of the agreement by the necessar,
action on the part of congress.

only can be equitably levied On man
ufactured articles alone. Whether
tariffs are levied for revenue or pro.
lection, they should be levied alike on
both the so.called raw material of the
farmer and the finished product of the
manufacturer
Senator Myers view of the matter
il given in part to this effect:
II believe the passage of this bill is
q step in the right direction. There
has been some objection to it, to the
effect that it reduces slightly the duty
on farm products, but the democrats
propose to follow up this bill by max
ing much more substantial reductions
on other articles. Every democrat IN
the senate, in my judgement, will vote
for the wool bill, to come up next
week, and II it passes it will make q
very considerable reduction in the
price farmers will have to pay for
wooden goods, blankets, clothing. etc.
That bill will be followed by the farm.
ers' free list, designed especially to
benefit farmers. 1t will, il it 10 passed,
work great savings for them. Then, l
understand, it Is the purpose of the
democrats, either at this session or the
regular session, to follow that up with
reductions %onlcotton, sugar, steel, iron
and other things all the way down the
line. l think the idea Of the democrats,
as far as I can CLEAN it, Is 10 make q
general reduction of the tariff, sched-
ule by schedule, to the lowest point
that will produce sufficient revenue
economically to run the government.
Their object is to distribute tariff re-
auctions generally over all the main
articles used by the masses Of the PEG.
pie. If they make q general reduction
all around, l do not see any reason
why the farmer should not stand some
little reduction on his products if the
enactment of Canadian reciprocity
would work an incidental reduction to
farmers in come localities

MONTANA SENATORS DIFFER.

In the vote upon the Canadian reci-
procity measure in the United States
senate, Montana's representation was
divided, Senator Dixon's vote being
cast In opposition and that of Senator
Myers In favor Of the proposition. In
stating the reasons that Influenced his
action Senator Dixon is quoted in
part as follows:
"The vote in itself tells the story Of
the i~ntereets involved. 1t was q vote
Of republican senators from agricul.
tural states against the vote of repub.
lican senatorsOfrom manufacturing

cratic vote. Democratic senators
frankly avowed their purpose in vot-
ing for the bill, saying it was an en-.
tering wedge to destroy the protective
tariff system under which this country
has developed and hourished like no
other nation on earth.
"Of course, Montana and the West
will still continue to live and do bust.

r%icultural products only with Canada,
it will give the Canadian Northwest
a tremendous boom In land values and
their productsswill soon have free en-
trance to the great American markets

heretofore been, to contribute anything
for the support of the expenses Of this
government. The general tendency OF

spinal cord. where it lodges until its
fell work IS completed
Some special recorded facts may be
noted For a reason as yet undeter-
mined male children seem to be more
liable to attack than girls. Ma1-nu-
triton, exposure to cold and wet, or
unhealthy surroundings are pre-dts-
posing causes. Parents frequently date
the paralysis Of their children from a
fall or a tumble, but IS matter OF
fact the cause of the child's falling
was a weakening OF the motor muscles
caused by an already well advanced at
tack Of infantile paralysis. Fretfu1-
ness, peevishness and lassitude on the
part Of little one should instantly
be investigated, since frequently q
child may fall asleep at night appar-
entity well and wake up next morning
with marked paralysis Of the extremi-
ties.
Since the summer of 1910 was par
ticularly fruitful in cases Of infantile
paralysis, as witness the Wisconsin
Epidemic, and in view Of the fact that
the disease is only temporarily checked
by cold weather. 1t behooves parents
TO be especially vigilant during the
summer OF 1911. Infantile paralysis
being such a recent disease there has
been no time as yet to devise an anti
toxin That this will ultimately be
discovered, however, there can be no
manner of doubt Already the pro-
gress of the disease IN all its stages is
being watched in the hospital attached

Inquest Over George P. Nc
Namara Shows He Threat
ened TO Take His Life
WORRIED OVER HIS POSITION


You woa t see me around here very
much longel. =
George Il Mcnamara, 33 years old,
telegraph OPERATOR, who committed sui
eide Tuesday afternoon by shooting
himself ins the head with revolver,
made the 1regoing remark to his wife
at their h6ne in Russell last Saturday.
Coroner Taylor, of Libertyville, presid-
ed over the inquest which was held last
night. Tie jury returned verdict
that Mcnamara came to his death as
the result o. a shot, self inflicted, while
| temporarily insane
The evidence adduced at the inquest
terded to show that worry had brought
about Mcnamara s mental condition.
He had grown decidedly morose and de-
spondent of late and this is believed to
have resulted in a temporary aberra.
| tion.
Mcnamara was an exceedingly pop
HlaT young man and his friends are
shocked OVER his l,ntimely death. Diff
ficultles with the Wisconsin Central
railroad in whose employ he had been
for some time, are alleged toh have been
back of all his troubles.
It was charged at the inquest that at
various times Mcnamara had been
guilty of little disobediences which had
resulted In considerable confusion in
shipping,
His last alleged disobedience result
ted, 1t IS claimed, in the mis-shipment
OF number of cattle. Mcnamara fear
ed, rightly it is claimed by officials,
that as rfsult, he would lose his posi-
tion with The road.
This preJed on his mind, apparently
and caused him to decide on the rash
step. Friedds thought that if he could
get away f1om the scene of his trouble
that ne would be all right, so accord
lngly last Sunday DR.. Young, Of Cur
nee, took the young man to his home.
