What Does Reciprocity Mean to Richmond?

This Is My 40th Birthday

For a long time the people of this district and this city have been told In political campaigns, that the prosperity of this district and this city depends upon a protective tariff. It has been but a few months since a great awakening has come over the whole country. Sometimes this has been called Insurgency sometimes the New Nationalism and sometimes is It merely called the Progressive Movement. This has not been a matter of theory. It has been a matter of principle, or more strictly an opening of the eyes of the common every day citizens to common every day facts. All at once the people began to realize that the tariff was made more for the protection of a few large industrial combinations than for the protection of all bubiness and all the people. Strictly speaking anything which is a detriment to the industrial or commercial progress of the country hurts the people In it. This is just as true as that a residence district of a town is dependent upon the factory and business district. The tariff which wag made for the protection of all business and industries has been manipulated so that a few largo combinations have excessively prospertxl. And so It has come about that the country faces an outgrow th from the tariff fight Of a year ago, which brings once more- into high relief the ojerations of the special interests of the few contrasted with the welfare of all America. Richmond has six industries which are the largest of the kind in the United States. Every one of these may be taken as typical of American progress, and the foundation upon which tnio prosperity rests. Every man in Richmond knows that three of these industries at least are not engaged In national trade but in international trade. The old principle of protection for in itself- has become outworn. It remains in its most vicious example In the present tariff the Payne-Aldrich tariff. Everybody knows that the wool manufacturers have prospered enormously under "Schedule K," flooding the country with shoddy garments, keeping up tho prices of wool and reaping large dividends therefrom. In like manner some other Industries have been favored. But these, in their total employment of men, and the total volume of business, are not representatives of all American business. They are the exception not the rule. And so It has come about, that what started with the cry of the people against the high cost of living, now that .what were once luxuries have became absolute necessities, has turned also Into a cry of all American business, with the exception of the privileged combinations.

It has already been said such factories as Gaar, Scott and Co., Robinsons, and the American Seeding Machine company, are representative of American business and prosperity and not what is known as special interests. So In this district, we have an Illustration of American business and the people fighting for a common cause. Tho threshing machine industry may be taken as an example. The threshing machino industry does not caro to be protected. It depends upon the superiority of its products for its foreign sales. It has an international market.

Rut the tariff which has been, exhalted as protecting American industry, is the very thing in this case which prevents a greater extension of its international business. There are Rome manufacturers engaged In the threshing industry, who have moved their factories across the Canadian line. Has this profited America? Would tho town of Richmond, profit by the building of a factory in Canada? Hardly! Rut if the tariff is still kept as it is this may very likely happen, for foreign countries tako the position that if we erect a tariff barrier to keep out their products, they, also aro entitled to the same procedure for their protection. 'And every country in the world, with the exception of Great Britain, and Thibet, has some sort of a protective tariff. America has come then to the position of being shut in the fort in which it sought to protect itself.

The Hon. James E. Watson, no longer ago than last spring, delivered In Shelbyville, a very eloquent plea for the present tariff. He told tho farmers that they were being protected, that their prosperity "was dependent for its prosperity upon protection. We have already explained that the wool trust in this excessive schedule "K" has not protected the wool growers. It Is equally hard to Bee how a grain market controlled by futures in the grain pit or a pork market controlled by a pork trust can very well rebound to the credit of the farmers. It Is interesting then to find the same Mr. Watson fighting Canadian reciprocity, which has tho greatest elements of prosperity for its district. It makes it a little simpler that the Insurgent movement, the progressive movement, the new nationalism, whatever It may be called, is nothing more than common decency and common 6ense. As proof of this, while James E. Watson, who was bitter during the last campaign toward the Insurgent movement, is equally as bitter toward reciprocity. So Albert J. Bevciidge, the Insurgent is In full favor of . Canadian reciprocity. That ought to show something. It shows that Richmond has every reason to keep on with this progress both in business and in politics, for they are both the same. And this means fighting not only in campaigns, but out of campaigns for better things. The same organizations which are building for the betterment of Richmond, increasing its resources, ought to be the' same force to work for Canadian reciprocity. It is currently said that reciprocity will be defeated. Perhaps. But not if there is as live a progressive sentiment in every community as there Is in' this.

Arrangements were perfected today to put the public health and marine service in the field in an effort to stamp out the bubonic i lague If the Chinese goverment requests it.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

SHOCKED THE GUIDE.

JUST POTATOES. His name Is J. Grove and he lives on his own farm in the Kaw valley of Kansas. Grove is a colored man. He came up to Kansas in' that strange exodus from the cotton states which some would be philanthropist Introduced as the solution of the race problem. Many of these colored people, after working for a time on their little patches of ground, drifted into the towns or left the state. Grove stayed. He worked as a hired hand. And this was observed of him that he would work only where potatoes were grown. He seemed obsessed with the potato notion. He studied potatoes, talked potatoes, dreamed potatoes. Now It is a good thing to have a practical bobby and ride it whenever you can get astraddle. Grove had saved a little money, and he rented a few acres and started raisins potatoes his way. That venture it was twenty years ago came near breaking Grove's back financially. He raised the finest potatoes in the Kaw valley, but unfortunately the price was so low there was scercely enotigh to pay for the rent and tho seed. NeverthelessNext year Grove had another crop of potatoes. Potatoes were scare.' and he got a big price. He bought his acres and rented more ground. The fat and the lean years seemed to alternate, and Grove kept on in the potato business. Now, should you ever happen to be in the vicinity of Edwardsville, Kan., be sure to visit Grove's big potato farm. You will see more power machines for planting, plowing, digging and sorting potatoes than you ever dreamed of. In the busy season you will see white men working Grove's machinery. And the neighbors say it will take at least six figures to represent Grove's wealth. Where did he get It? Just potatoes. There are a lot of things that Grove does not know, but he knows how to raise potatoes in the Kaw valley better than any other man, and he knows be knows it.

Antics of an Irreverent Visitor at the National Capitol. A tte man with a fierce, bristling gray beard and wearing a, broad brimmed slouch hat marched down the mala corridor of the capltol. closely followed by a guide at a dogtrot. They had inspected statuary hall and the rotunda and looked in at the chamber of the supreme court, and the visitor had made no other comment on the sights shown him than to utter an occasional grunt, snort or growl. The big man paused at the end of the corridor and jerked his head toward a carpeted passage. "What's them burglars doing today?" be demanded. "The senate Is not In session, sir." said the guide in a shocked voice. After the visitor had departed the guide sat down on his chair ia front of the statue of Daniel Webster aud mopiwd his heated brow. "That's one kind that comes here," he said. "We have all kinds, but his style is the hardest to deal with. Called the senate burglars you heard him and he kicked at everything else I showed him. That kind comes prepared to kick. They ain't got no patriotism at all. and a United States senator ain't no more to them than a doorkeeper. Why. I'm afraid to take men like him Into the supreme court. Likely as not they'll say something ejfsrespectful right out loud. Do you know wbat "that oue said when I showed him statuary hall? He says, 'Who are all these crooks?' Theu be wanted to know how much all them statues cost the government and who got the rakeoff. I told him they were given by the states, and he said that was once wben the states put one over. "You wouldn't think," said the guide, with a sigh, "that patriotic Americans could come here and be so callous about the things they see. They seem to begrudge giving a dollar to be shown the place where Webster stood when he made his reply to Hayne. I don't know what the country's coming to. I've been a guide here twenty years, but I never thought I'd live to hear the senate called burglars." Washington Cor. Kansas City Star.
