BRYAN ON RECIPROCITY.

In a statement made recently in Cincinnati; Mr, Bryan reminded the Amerjican people that they did not need the help of any other nation in getting rid of high taxation. That is a truth which it is important to emphasize at the present juncture. The question is notion e of punishing Canada by retaliatory action, but of gating relief for ourselves. “The failure of the agreement/ says Mr. Bryan, “shows how difficult it is to enter into contract of that kjnd/' “The very fact that it was ratified in this country was/’ he' thinks, “viewed over there as an argument against it." For the Canadians argued that "it would not have been ratified on this side if it had not given, more* advantages than Canada received from it/’ Surely our protection's ought to understand and sympathize with such a state of mind. For it is their ■own. : i. : „'■ ~ But the important thing is that we are not dependent on Canada or any other power in such matters as this. Mr. Brian says: */' ■’ . : ■ Tie defeat of the measure in Canada ought not to lessen the chances of tariff reduction. In fact, when rightly considered, it ought to increase the chances, because it is now evident that whatever relief is brought must be brought by our people, without waiting for others to help. There is no reason why a reduction of duties should be made the subject of a bargain with another nation. We can reduce them whenever we choose to do so. Such of them as we wish to abolish we cam abolish bv the action of congress. The powers of Congress are ample, and its jurisdiction is complete. Xor is the fact tha# such action would help other nations any argument against it, since it would help us even more. In every speech that the President makes he pledges himself to support all tariff reductions that the report of the tariff board may show to be feasible. And these reductions are to be effected, not through negotiation. but by legislation. Reciprocity. therefore. is a rather awkward device for bringing to pass a result which we can achieve by our own unaided efforts. The question primarily is. not one of stimulating trade, but of getting rid of taxes —of stimulating trade by freeing it from burdens which we ourselves have imposed and which we can remove.

If the reciprocity defeat shall serve to impress these truths on our national consciousness it will not be withont its compensations. Incidentally we may say that the same moral applies to the people of Canada. The present situation is absurd from the point of view of both peoples. We are neighbors and friends, and are parts of the same economic system, though holding allegiance to different political sovereigns. There ought to be unrestricted trade between us, as there will be one day. The only obstacle in the way of realizing it is politics, the influence which has robbed the people of so much good. As long as men think, it wise to legislate so as to hurt others than to help themselves present conditions will continue. But this political doctrine is already greatly discredited. It can not endure forever.—lndianapolis News.

TAFT AGAINST UNJUST ENMITY

& Says that Much Business Success la Deserved. TRUSTS MUST OBEY THE UW President Advocates Prevention of Abuse of Monopoly and Undue Advantage, but No Opposition to Prosperity Per Se. Waterloo. la., Sept. 29. —To check i unjust prejudice against the business j enterprise of the country was the appeal with which President Taft faced the middle west. In an address on the relation of the government to business of the coun* try, which he delivered here before an outdoor audience of several thousand people the president said that the people of every section and class of the country were all in the same boat and that to persist in sectional vindictiveness against the prosperity of another section of the country would enforce business prostration throughout the land as surely as night follows day. “We are all tossed by the same waves,” he cautioned them. The comment upon the speech, as to how it would be received in the insurgent district and particularly in this agricultural state was too varied to allow of any conclusion. Mr. Taft w*as not applauded very much, but the crowd gate him the closest attention. His address was a clear effort to point the way “down the middle of the road." The president advocated progress in the movement to prevent the abuses of monopoly and undue advantage, but declared that the time had come to call a halt in hostility to business and mere prosperity or success. He asserted that generally the laws now enacted were sufficient to assure the correction of those evils and counselled only helpful legislation for the future. At the same time he emphasized his determination to enforce those law's. The attorney general, he said, was acting under his orders in the prosecution of the trusts and had no discretion whatever to stay the hand of the government “and so long as such combinations existed they would be prosecuted under the law. Mr. Taft spoke to audiences in eight lowa towns. In most of his speeches he discussed his tariff vetoes and he dwelt several times upon the promise that he would recommend such tariff revision to congress within three months as would conform to the demands of the lowa Republican state platform for a scientific revised tariff. He said that when he did this he wanted the people of lowa to support him and that if he did not do it they could punish him as they saw fit Senator Cummins, the insurgent lowa senator, was conspicuously absent from the delegation of state officials who welcomed the president to lowa.
