work together. in a courageous manner 1

Reciprocity Value Threatened.

In the reduction OF our tariff through
reciprocity We have a method by which
we can compel the reduction of the tariff
of other nations. but of what value will
be policy of reciprocity which does not
go into effect until after our tariff re-
auctions have been made?
IF we are to make tariff concessions
which will be encouraging to the products
and valuable to the producers in other
nations. we should compel reciprocal con-
cessions which will be equally stimulating
to the products. equally beneficial to the
producers, to the farmers, the manufac-
turers and the laborers in our own coun-
try.
Through reciprocity tariff reduction
can be made coincident and coextensive
with trade expansion.
Through reciprocity the injury to our
manufacturers. to our farmers to our
laborers, through the invasion of oul
markets by foreign products, would be
compensated for by the advantages OBJ
tanned by our manufacturers our farmers
and our laborers in the opening of foreign
markets to our trade and our produce

A Federalistic Conception.

THE idea that a ruler must occasion
ally reveal himself to the people or to
their representatives in order to prove
that he is merely human is a charm
ingly federalistic conception.
The disposition to revert to the
formality and ceremony of the old
established English system is another
characteristic indication Of a federalis-
tic frame of mind"
Mr.. Hearst then takes up the tariff
feature and says:
MANY thoughtful citizens will be led
to ponder on how far Mr.. Wilson's atti-
tude toward the American protective tar

of mind and his English sources of in

president Wilson. in the Introduction
of his speech to Congress, explained
his somewhat sensational performance

Human Weakness Suggested.
Since the time of John Adams there

Mr. Wilson who believed that Presi

thing else than a human being.
IF. however. Mr.. Wilson's suspicion
is correct-and there has lately arisen
among independent and intelligent
American citizens belief that there is
something superhuman and supernatu
raj about .President-Mr. Wilson has
effectively dispelled that superstition
by proving that a President can pos
sess all the purely human weaknesses,
including vanity and a craving for
newspaper notoriety.
THE significance and Importance,
however, of President Wilson's per-
formance lie mainly in the federalistic
flavor of it. and in the possible con-
sequences to the American nation of a
