Reciprocity and Cost of Living In the sweltering of the blazing Fourth President Taft came to Indianapolis to speak before the Marion Club on reciprocity. Now the last days of the bill seem to be at hand and the test votes indicate that it will pass as it came to the senate. v But it will be weeks, months, and perhaps years before the people of this country will know precisely what this reciprocity agreement amounts to. Every man that you are likely to meet on the train or on the street is for reciprocity. We are for reciprocity. We Suppose that the most of the thousands of readers of this newspaper are for reciprocity. The press of this state, tory, reactionary and progressive, is for reciprocity. Before this measure comes to a vote in congress this paper wishes to speak plainly about the reciprocity bill so that it shall not be misunderstood when the people finally wake up to what bas happened. From time to time the Palladium has spoken favorably of reciprocity and we have little or nothing to withdraw. But we wish to call the attention of our readers to the speech which Mr. Taft made in Indianapolis on the 4th of July. "It is my own judgment that the reciprocity agreement will not greatly reduce the cost of living, if at all." We regard It as most fortunate that the President in his speech used those words. We do not wish this reciprocity measure to be passed unamended with one of our readers thinking for one instant that the reciprocity bill as now before the senate will reduce the cost of living. And we further venture to say that as the bill stands and will, from the best Information that we can obtain, be passed the present "reciprocal trade arrangement" differs as much from the idea that the average citizen has of reciprocity the Blaine-McKinley reciprocity, as night does from day. If the present "tariff arrangement" is reciprocity we dQjnot wish that the broad name of "reciprocity" shall be confusing. The people have a right to know what reciprocity it is they are adopting. What does this "agreement" provide? 1. It admits free of duty into the United States all of the products of the Canadian farmer in direct competition with American farm products. 2. It admits free a small quantity of pulp wood, wood pulp, and print paper. 3. It leaves standing the most iniquitous and "indefensible "schedules of the Payne-Aldrich tariff. 4. It grants a further extension of the trade of American manufacturers with the people of Canada particularly of machinery. Again we call to mind the statement of President Taft at Indianapolis on the 4th of July that the reciprocity agreement "will not greatly change the cost of living if at all." Everyone can see precisely why, by looking at the foregoing analysis. We wish to call to mind that this is the first time the President admitted such a thing. His newspaper in Cincinnati, which is the headquarters for the dissemination of the administration views, has never, to say the least, hinted that the cost of living would not be changed. None of the tory and reactionary friends who surrounded him, Aldrich, et al. have ever been frank enough to put this construction on it. Therefore, as far as the records show, the President made this as an admission with the idea of leaving behind him the record that on the 4th of July in the city of Indianapolis, Indiana, he told the country that this reciprocity measure would in no way alter the cost of living. And then there was, we think, another reason why the President made the admission never before made by the friends of the reciprocity bill. It was being made by the Republican insurgents in congress as a charge against the present reciprocity bill as it stands in the analysis which we have already printed. In the four day's speech that Senator Cummins made he laid great stress on this weakness in his wonderful analysis of the bill, the subject of reciprocity, and the question of the tariff. The days on which he spoke were June 28, 29, 30 and Wednesday July 5. We believe that the present reciprocity arrangement should be amended. It should admit free of duty into the United States all the products of the farm which are manufactured. This would break down the tariff wall. This would afford some relief to every consumer in the United States. We do not think it fair that the beef trust, the miller's trust, the wool trust and all the other specially privileged under the Payne Aldrich tariff should have the benefit of the free schedules and that the man who buys of them and sells to them should not have a free and open market in Canada as well as the United States. To give the beef trust and the woolen trust all the cream of the Canadian agreement by admitting raw materials free and to leave the articles which they manufacture dutiable under the old Payne Aldrich schedules is sticking it into the American public. And the American public is the farmer and the city dweller and the smaller and unmonopolized American manufacturer. This Is the Iniquity of the agreement. It is one which Mr. Taft did not go into. It is the'one which the insurgents in Congress have been trying to remedy in the amendments and which the old guard of reactionaries, dominated by the president and the special interests have refused to change. They have sat sullen and silent. Senator Cummins' amendment, which failed of passage in the Senate, would have changed this and made a beginning in the breaking down of the tariff wall and the high cost of living. We lay special stress on this point because the Insurgents have been accused of trying to hold up reciprocity on account of unfriendly feeling between them and the President. The truth of the matter is that the reciprocity measure came to the senate as dictated by the President and it has been stated by the reactionary senators that he will suffer no change in this measure. The public believes through the press reports that have been sent out from Washington that the "tariff arrangement," alias the "reciprocity bill," is a treaty and as such cannot be amended by the senate at least without endangering its acceptance by Canada. The fact is that amendments offered by Senator Cummins, of Iowa, would not have affected the Canadian view of the "treaty" but were as a matter of fact merely a reduction in the duty on our side. Not a man dared get up and state on the open floor of the senate that the Canadian government or the Canadian people would look with disfavor upon the treaty if the American people admitted the manufactured products of meat, wool, silk, cotton, steel all the iniquitous hold-ups of the present high cost of living free into the United States. They could not.

It is this phase of the reciprocity agreement upon which we do not propose to have our readers misled. They have been led to believe that the cost of living was to be reduced and that the Insurgents were busy holding up what everyone desires real reciprocity with Canada. This is the point where the reciprocity agreement touches the everyday man the man who buys our newspaper and this is the point also which has to do with the iniquities of our present tariff system. We shall have more to say about this reciprocity agreement. We have been content to take up this one phase of it. Perhaps for a considerable time the people of this country will be blinded to the terms of the reciprocity agreement. News travels slowly despite the newspapers and the telegraph. There comes out of Washington only the smallest portion of what goes on in congress. The congressional record is not widely circulated. People are just now beginning to understand what the Payne-Aldrich tariff is. The national magazines have done much toward informing the people what the tariff is. Before the Insurgents made-their fight it would have been possible to have forced through any tariff and have called it the "best ever." The "interests" of this country were safe in the blindness and ignorance and trust of the people.

When the Insurgents fought the Payne-Aldrich tariff it was for honest revision. Tney voted against the tariff bill, but that act finally was understood. When the Insurgents were confronted with this reciprocity measure they were placed wittingly In a dilemma. Every Washington correspon-

dent knows that the talk In the national capital and more late in this part of the country and in the newspapers has been that Mr. Taft "had put the Insurgents in a hole." He and his advisers took the progressive policy of reciprocity a name filled with twenty years of longing full of meaning to honest and sincere Republicans who learned the principles of reciprocity from the world statesmanship of Blaine and McKlnley and gave the "treaty" to the congress with the orders that it should not be changed. The Insurgents of all the men in congress are the ones to whom the people looked to lead in the reciprocity fight. They had the alternative of passing the bill with its iniquities and without changing an "I" or crossing a "t" or making a fight to change it along the lines that they fought for in the Payne-Aldrich tariff. What the Insurgents did is a matter of record. But though it is a matter of record there are very few newspapers in the United States that are telling what any man roay read in the Congressional Record. The popular attitude for the Insurgents would have been to acquiesce in the President's command to pass the bill unaltered. They stood by their principles. Time will tell whether their political wisdom was as great as their devotion to principle. As far as the Palladium is concerned we believe that the reciprocity measure is a step in advance, conceived in inquity though it is. We shall not be sorroy to see it pass. It will at the least impose no new burden on the cost of living. The injustices that are done will give the. Americans affected a true insight into tho bill, and eventually will force the very issue for which the Insurgents are now fighting, and at the risk of their popularity. It is thus that we are for t!ie reciprocity measure as a step unavoidably progressive on the part of those who will temporarily be hailed as its friends and saviors. The shady deals and cheats which went into its making and which will be still further exposed by the insurgents may put a temporary cloud on Insurgency while the full record is in the dark to the everyday man who thinks that he Is getting the real reciprocity. Nor does the Palladium withdraw the statements it has made as to some of the unavoidable good that the bill itself will render. Many smaller manufacurers of agricultural machinery and the like were about to be forced to buiSd in Canada through the monopolization going on in this country and through the desire to Invade the Canadian market. These men and their plants we wish to see in the United States the true back bone of American industry we wish them to prosper. As for the beef trust and the woolen trust and their ilk with their greedy traffic bolstered up under the Payne-Aldrich tariff we have nothing of concern our views are tho3e of everyday Americans we wish them to have competition or the possibility of it. in Canada. Of the danger to the American farmer we will have something to add, but in the main we think it a good thing for him to know how little he has prospered by the tariff which he has bolstered up for the American monopolists and their lobbyists. So we are not discouraged even with the reciprocity measure precisely as we have stated it. Any attempt at reciprocity, even though it be a cheat in many particulars; though it be conceived in bad faith and with mal-intent will redound finally to the benefit of the country.

(Palladium Special Pittsburg. Pa., July 14. The Pennsylvania Railroad company announced today that to follow up the agricultural work which it has been carrying on on actively during the past few years, it will participate in the American Land and Irrigation Exposition to be held in Madison Square Garden, New York City, next November. The Pennsylvania will exhibit models of transportation conveyances from the first Conestoga wagons used in Pennsylvania to the modern electric trains at present operating out of Pennsylvania station in New York city; basrelief topographical models of the Allegheny Mountain district, showing the engineering problems overcome; bas-relief topographical models of the New York Improvement and Tunnel Extension and the Cumberland Valley fruit growing and farming districts. There will also be exhibited a model of the railroad's standard steel underframe live stock car which has been pronounced by Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals "a most admirable car for the transportation of live stock." The company's worK .n the interests of public roads will be given attention, and a full size "split-log drag" will occupy space in the exhibit. In addition, there will be shown by graphic charts, pictorial and statistical exhibits, the agricultural and forestry conservation work being carried on by the company.

The Long Island railroad will pre

sent an exhibit consisting of different Varieties of fruit, vegetables and dairy products, and show a practical way that the poorest kind of land can be made to yield the finest crops. A section of the exhibit will show the various kinds of soil on Long Island, as well as plots especially taken from the experimental farms at Wading River and Huntingdon, Long Island, will also be demonstrated. The Pennsylvania railroad and its subsidary lines for. a number of years have been carrying on an active cam

paign in the interests of advanced agriculture, with the view of increasing

the crops per acre, thereby resulting in an increased freight traffic. These

activities have been supplemented by the running of special agricultural edu

cational trains and steamboats, the distribution of farming literature, the establishment of experimental 'farms

and the appointment of farm e xperts

to circulate among the farmers and advise them on questions pertaining to

individual cases.
