Mr. Wilson's theories are the theories Of books and of
British books but of British books that longer believed
to-day
The United States of America have given an example
world in progress and prosperity advancement and enght
eminent, IN happiness and contsntment
The nations of the world have turned toward this country
in admiration and amazement.
The methods and systems institutions of country
have been studied and initiated every foreign nation except
perhaps in England
England is slow and reluctant to learn
thee she beginning to learn and the most advanced and
federation with free trade among its component States and Colo
MES but with policy protection toward the of the world
Germany and France have long prospered under protection
American ideas and institutions.
The realization that this country the greatest country in
the world and the appreciation Of the which have made
II ne greatest country in the world are almost universal
lists of the United States Of America.
there is to be tariff modification the modern American
policy should be the original Democratic policy of reciprocity
ana discriminating duties in favor Of American products Amer
can manufactures American commerce and American trade
In our tariff we have weapon with which with
stand the tariff weapons of other nations but must not aban
don weapon until other nations ready abandon theirs
In the reduction OF our tariff through reciprocity we have
method by which compel the reduction the tariff of
other nations but of what value will be policy reciprocity
which does not into effect until after tariff reductions
have been made?
make tariff concessions which will be encour-
aging to the products and valuable to the producers in other
nations we should compel reciprocal which will be
equally stimulating to the products equally beneficial to the
producers to the farmers the manufacturers the aborers
IN our own country.
Through reciprocity reduction can be made concdent
and coextensive with trade expansion.
Through reciprocity the injury manufacturers,
farmers aborers to the invasion of our markets
by foreign products would be compensated for by the advan
age obtained by manufacturers
in the opening of foreign markets pro-

have cattle ranches in Mexico and proposed under
Mr. Wilson's policy to bring beef free into the United States
It would advantage considerably merely sordid
point of to have Mexican beef allowed free the United
States market
But patriotic American citizen and Jeersonian Dem
ocra do not believe that Mexican beef other Mexican
product should be allowed free markets of the United
States until American goods allowed free markets
of Mexico.
Under Mr. Wilson's program it proposed to allow white
paper free into the markets Of the United States Canada
six million dollars worth of white paper every
year and from merely selfish financial point of view would
benefit enormously have white paper admitted free into the
markets of the United States.
But again, patriotic American citizen Jefferson
ian Democrat do believe that white paper or any other
Canadian product should be admitted free the United States
until the products of the United States least correspond
ing products of the United States admitted into the
markets of Canada
The Canadians sconfuy rejected proposals Of reci
procty.
Are give them the full advantage of reel
procy without securing any reciprocal advantages for our
selves?
