our markets to Canadian products
without asking for the same advan-
tages in their markets for our manu-
facturers.
Evidently our manufacturers take
little stock in the reciprocity clause
which the senate inserted in the I'm
derwood bill. This afterthought' aur
thorizes the president to put pro-
hibitive tariff on certain articles
should he discover that foreign ma
lions discriminate against this coun-
try, unless they cease doing SO and
establish reciprocal relations.
at was understood at one time that
such treaties would be negotiated be-
fore putting the Underwood tariff in
effect, in order that we might have
basis of Notwithstanding to
offer in return for foreign conces-
sions. Howere, the bill as reported
out to the senate cOntemplates put
ting the law into effect before taking
note of violations of the favored ma
ton clause to our disadvantage. The
fear that such practices will be re-
sorted to under the new tariff seems
to spring from the notion that the
favored nation clause is practically
abrogated by the radical changes we
have made of our own volition as to
the import tax on articles which have
been coming in under our minimum
tariff.
"A big promise is held out as to
what will result from the welding
of tariff club, but seeing that such
a role would fix our status as that OF
a country essaying to make tariffs for
all the world, obviously little head
way could possibly be made In any
event, the mischief will have been
done before long drawn out negotia
tons and notifications, and perhaps a
tariff war, couM put an end to any
determinations. Meanwhile, the
American invasion of Canada NAV
have assumed wholesale proportions. :"
Wilson's Mexican Policy.
President Wilson seems to have set
tied upon some kind of a policy con-
corning Mexico. He has removed
Wilson and has sent a
personal friend of Mr.. Bryan's in the
person of one John Lind, former
governor of Minnesota, to the City of
Mexico to spy out the land and re-
port upon the situation. Mr. Lind APP
is expected to give advice,
not only to the gentlemen who are
holding down the American embassy.
everybody else who will listen.
In short, the policy of President
Wilson seems to be based upon rath
err exaggerated IF. IF Mr. Huerta
will only be good and step down. and
IF the revolutionists will stop fight
ing, and IF the whole shooting match
will resolve itself into a peaceable
community and permit genuine,
first-class. up-to-date, Australian bal
lot-kind-of-a to be held with
every Tom, Dick and Harry abiding
by the result, why, then, all will be
we'll, and the administration of the
United States will recognize the new
government.
It's "bully" long road that Presi-
dent Wilson and Mr.. Lind are travel
ing, and it is full of gigantic IFS. as
everyone can see. But we wish them
we'll in their undertaking.
