CANADAS ATTITUDE
fiO DISPOSITION TO SERVE AS A
DUMPING GROUND
Invasion of Cut Price Commodltitc
from the United States Illustrates
to he Dominion Some of tbo Prac
tical Disadvantages of Reciprocity
It is best to look the situation
BqnareJy In the face and to know the
truth regarding the prospect of nego
tiating a reciprocity dicker with Can
ada As a matter of fact there is no
prospect whatever of arranging a deal
whereby the manufacturers of the
United States shall obtain larger priv
ileges In the Canadian market Even
If it were possible to bring about
t
reciprocity in natural products even
cuproslng fiat tho Republican party
should be foolhardy enough to still
further arouse the resentment of
American farmers by opening up free
trade In farm products there Is no rea
son to suppose that American manu
facturers would be permitted to mon
opolize the Canadian market Every
das it becomes more and more appar
ent that Canada will never consent to
become the dumping ground for
American surplus production At this
moment Canadas iron industry Is suf
fering sorely from the Invasion of
cut price stuff from this side of tho
border American brands of iron are
being offered at 2 per ton below the
lowest price Canadian iron can be
laid down at The Toronto Mail of
Nov 9 directs attention to the fact
thnt American salesmen in Canada aro
quoting cut prices on every kind of
iron and steel merchandise
They sell pig iron to Canadian
foundrymen and tho Canadian steel
maker Then they sell stoves and
ARTISANS AND THE TARIFF
Why Wage Earners Should Support ai
Protective Policy
Of all people those who depend on
their handicraft for a livelihood
should be the most loyal supporters of
tho policy of protection This has al
ways been the contention of protec
tion leaders in he United States
though the success of this policy has
been due to the support given it by
the American farmers and business
men Now that a tariff campaign is
on in England this phase of the ques
tion is not being forgotten
Tho London Daily Telegraph or Au
gust 4 1903 gave an illustration of
the effect of free trade on labor that
should receive the careful attention of
all American artisans that they may
more fully realize some of the benefits
accruing to them from the operation
of tho American policy Under the
free trade policy of Great Britain
there was a decrease in twelve years
of over GOO000 in the value of man
ufactured goods the produce of Brit
ish labor exported from the United
Kingdom Following are the figures
1890 229808743
1902 229212625
Decrease 65G118
In the same years there was an in
crease of over 35000000 in the
value of manufactured goods imported
into the United Kingdom the produce
of foreign labor
1890 63218167
1902 9005064S
Increase - 35832451
Had the British laboring man been
protected by an adequate tariff on the
goods he helped produce it is probable
that at least one half of the increase
In the value of the imports would have

every other kind of castings to the

ers
So grave a menace to her industrial
welfare is not long to be endured by
Canada Her tariff will go up not
dOTrn She will not commit industrial
suicide by opening still wider her
gates to the invasion of the American
E jrplus The Mail says
Our neighbors have an enormous
manufacturing capacity and a greatly
shrunken home demand Congestion
is resulting To relieve the pressure
of accumulating stocks upon prices
they can afford to dump enough on
this market to smash many of our in
dustries and turn tens of thousands
of our people out of employment The
danger is urgent If we are to keep
back the tidal wave of depression
that threatens us from the United
States we must have our tariff wall
raised We should have had it raised
long ago had there been men of busi
ness in the place of the squanderers
who are now In charge of the countrys
affairs
In strong confirmation of this state
ment of Canadas growing aversion to
any and all schemes of reciprocity in
manufactured products the Ottawa
correspondent of the Toronto Globe
the recognized mouthpiece of the Can
adian government writes to that pa
per Nov 18 as iollows
Reciprocity with Canada appears
to bfr a live topic in the United States
at present but here nobody is wasting
any sleep over the matter Senator
Fairbanks has not as far as can be
learned communicated with the prime
minister since last spring when he
was told that the resumption of the
Joint High Commission could not be
considered until after the close of
Parliament
If negotiations looking toward reci
procity are to be opened it will have
to be on the initiative of the United
States when any proposition which
our neighbors to the south may make
will receive fair and hoaest considera
tion It Is well however for them to
understand that Canada can get along
without any favors- from the United
States
Herein we think the Canadian at
titude Is accurately expressed Can
ada is not going to wreck her indus
trial future by inviting reciprocity in
manufactured prodtcls That much
seems to be settled It is well that
reciprocity promoters on this side of
the boundary should know the facts
and understand the conditions j
been saved to him and the year 1902
would have found him better off by
1572358 In the face of these facts
every artisan of the United States
should be -thankful that he has the
benefit of a protective tariff and
should use his best efforts to keep it
in force as a national policy Ottum

IT IS NOT TRUE
American Farmers Are Not Reconciled
to the Cuban Reciprocity Scheme
Even the selfish interests that have
opposed it heretofore have become
convinced that no harm will come to
them because of its provisions New
York Commercial Advertiser
This would be pleasant news If only
it were true But it is not Not a
single interest that has at any time op
posed the Cuban treaty excepting of
course the beet sugar factories that
have been bought up by Havemeyer
has become convinced that no harm
will come to them because of its pro
visions On the contrary they con
tinue to assert that great harm will
come to them and to protest against
the wrong and the injustice of the
proposition To assert that Not an
American interest is sacrificed that
It will do harm to no industry is to
assert an opinion that may be hon
estly entertained even though based
upon a total misconception of fact
But to state as the Commercial Ad
vertiser does that all interests hereto-
fore hostile to the Cuban treaty are
reconciled to its adoption is to state
a palpable untruth
Two Conspicuous Examples
It is amusing to know that England
is about to discard her policy of free
trade to save herself from absolute
annihilation in the industrial world
It brings the tariff question squarely
down to the proposition laid down in
the Republican platforms in the past
it is better to protect home indus
tries by means of a tariff on imports
and keep mills and factories busy
than to maintain free trade and have
industrial stagnation
Every period of Democratic low tar
iff in American history has been a
period of hard times Every period
of high protection has seen a great
industrial prosperity In the last six
years while the United States under a
protective tariff has been enjoying un
told prosperity England under free
trade has been struggling with indus
trial paralysis and wilJ try the tariff
as a cure
Free trade and free silver are the
two conspicuous examples of wrong
guesses on the part of the Democratic
party Ottawa Kan Herald

ONE OF THE BEST TYPES OF
AMERICAN CITIZEN
Jpon the Faithful and Proper Per
formance of His Duties Depends
the Welfare of Millions Too Little
Appreciated by the Public
The railway mall service has been
io excellent the public are prone to
eceive it as a matter of course Lit
lc heed is given to it and If thought
f at all It Is with a limited realiza
ion of Its magnitude or its connection
vith the public weal Too great
rominence Is given the hero behind
he gun and too little is said of the
nan who give3 the best years of his
ife for the mental moral and material
levelopment of this kind
The duties of the railway postal
lerk require a high order of dexter
ty and skill which not being gifts
5od given are acquired by years of
mtiring effort His work Is for the
jenefit of everyone and in his views
ill are leveled to the same plane
Through his hands pass the mes
sages of countless millions and
vhether of city or village counting
louse or farm whether bearing fail
ire or success sorrow or joy they
speed to their destination Upon his
skill ability and untiring efforts de
pend to a great extent the success
all social political and commercial
snterprises This may seem a broad
assertion but can you imagine the
condition if the ten thousand postal
clerks of this county were to resign
in a body Means of communication
would then be limited to the telegraph
and telephone and that they would
prove wholly inadequate is apparent
to the most casual observer Chaos
would reign in the business world
and the shock would be felt to the
remotest part of the civilized globe
It is pleasing however to be as
sured that no such event will take
place for while realizing his power
he is imbued with the spirit of pa
triotism that is the life of every true
American The thought of any other
action than devotion to duty never
enters his mind
The railway mail service has kept
pace with the needs of advancing
times and it is the proud boast of the
postal clerk that he is the agency
through which this pace is and has
been kept but the time has come
when in spite of the most heroic ef
forts that men can put forth they are
overwhelmed And the time is at hand
when more attention must be given
or we will reap the reward of our
neglect The attention of every busi
ness man should be called to this
branch of the public service for they
are directly and intimately concerned
Upon the railway postal clerk de
pends the success of this important
branch of the government and his re
moval would destroy in a day what it
has taken years to build It is due to
his fidelity that the work of this won
derful business has been carried on to
almost perfection and when we con
sider the vast quantity of mail pro
duced in this country and the rapidity
with which it is transported to its
destination with almost mathematical
precision by this remarkable machine
of distribution and delivery it is little
short of marvelous If each of the
eighty millions of people of the
United States mail one letter or par
cel a day the average is eight thous
and packages to the postal clerk
and this is conservative and the rec
ord shows that he makes one mistake
mis sends one piece for every ten
thousand handled The business and
professional worlds are challenged to
show a record that even approaches
this
In this service there is no place for
the sleepy the sluggish or the indif
ferent The essential element is
manhood in the absolute not the out
ward show of manhood but the inner
consciousness of physical strength
mental capabilities and moral worth
These coupled with the unwearied
spirit of application make a good
citizen and a good postal clerk These
are concomitant for he who is a pos
tal clerk is and ought to be a good
citizen He must practice those vir
tues which make men better in order
to withstand the strain of unremitting
mental and physical hardship and
that he does practice them is evi
denced by the record he has made
Upon such as he rests the destiny
of this nation His is a life of duty
a life that brings sweet reward a life
that ennobles a life that requires en
ergy alertness and fidelity a life
that molds character that strength
ens Individuality and marks him a
man separate and distinct from all
other men From an address by E J
Kern at the annual convention of the
Railway Postal Clerks association of
the Sixth Division
The Lost Path
I found It on a summer day
A little footpath gone astray
And roving where it listed
It led me oer a bank of ferns
It crossed a brook with eddying turns
It doubled clambered twisted
Past violet buds and alder blooms
Through shadowy nooks and greenland
glooms
Where Silence lingered dreaming
Now hastening under leaf hid skies
Or beckoning to the butterflies
Athwart the sunshine streaming
From sunny morn to twilight pale
I followed on its errant trail
Till weary of Its rambles
It lost Itself amidst the grass
Too Indolent to seek to pass
The crowding hawthorn brambles
Oh little wandering path of mine
My fate reems strangly like to thine
Mine too the vain endeavor
A thought of what I meant to do
A hope a doubt a dream or two
And now the walls of Never
