PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
At the opening of congress tho
president sent the following special
message:
"I transmitted to the Sixty-first
congress on January 26, last, tho
text of tho reciprocity trade agree
ment .which had been negotiated
under my direction by tho secretary
of state with the representatives of
tho Dominion of Canada.
"This agreement was the consum
mation of earnest effort, extending
over a period of nearly a year, on
the part of both governments to
effect a trade arrangement which,
supplementing, as it did, the amic
able settlement of various questions
of a diplomatic and political charac
ter that had been reached would mu
tually promote commerce and would
strengthen the friendly relations now
existing.
"The agreement in its intent and
in the terms was purely economic
and commercial. While the general
subject was under discussion by the
commissioners I felt assured that
the sentiment of the people of tho
United States was such that they
would welcome a measure which
would result in the increase of trade
on both sides of the boundary line,
would open up the reserve produc
tive resources of Canada to the
great mass of our own consumers on
advantageous conditions, and at the
same time offer a broader outlet for
the excess product of our farms and
many of our Industries.
"Details regarding a negotiation
of this kind necessarily could hot be
made public while the conferences
were pending. "When, however, the
full text of the agreement accom
panying correspondence and data' ex
plaining both its purpose and Its
scope become known to the people
through the message transmitted to
congress it was immediately appar
ent that the ripened fruits of the
careful labors of the commissioners
met with widespread approval. This
approval has been strengthened by
further consideration of the terms
of the agreement in all their par
ticulars. The volume of support
which has developed shows that its
broadly national scope, Js fully ap
preciated and is responsive to the
popular will.
"The house of representatives of
the Sixty-first congress after tho lull
text of the arrangement with all the
details in regard to the different pro
visions had been before it, as they
were before the American people,
passed a bill confirming the agree
ment as negotiated and as trans
mitted to congress: This measure
failed of action in tho senate. In my
transmitting message of the 26th of
January, I fully set forth the charac
ter of agreement and emphasized its
appropriateness and necessity as a
response to the mutual needs of the
people of th two countries as well
as its common advantages. I now
lay that message and the reciprocity
trade agreement as part of the
present message before the Sixty
second congress, and again invite
earnest attention to the considera
tions therein expressed.
"I am constrained in deference to
popular sentiment and with a realiz
ing sense of my duty to the great
mass of our people whose welfare is
involved, to urge on your considera
tion early action on this agreement.
"In concluding the negotiations the
representatives of the two countries
bound themselves to use their ut
most efforts to bring about the tariff
changes provided for in the agree
ment by concurrent legislatidn at
Washington and Ottawa.
"I have felt it my duty, there
fore not to acquiesce in relegation of
action until .tho opening of tho, con
gress in December, but to uso ray
constitutional prerogativo andj. -con-voko
tho Sixty-second congress kIn
extra sesslonjn order that there shall
bo no break of continuity 'in qon
siderlng and acting upon this most
important subject.
"WILLIAM H. TAFT.
Tho Whito House, April 5, 1911."
WHEAT AND RECIPROCITY
Tho statement has been frequently
mado that wheat is cheaper in
Canada than In the United States and
that removal of tho duty will result
in cheapening tho American price.
On this point Henry Hoaton, of At
lantic, la., writing to tho Public,
says:
"I wonder why tho American
Economist does not compare prices
of wheat between Winnipeg and
Fargo. Ono is almost due north of
tho other. Fargo is on a direct road
to Chicago, and much nearer to it
than Winnipeg. I would naturally
expect the price of wheat to bo
lower In Winnipeg than in Fargo,
but I have always found it higher.
And why does not tho Economist call
attention to the fact that wheat at
Fargo is always 10 to 12 cents lower
than at Minneapolis? I know of no
reason why whoat should bo hlghpr
in Minneapolis than in Fargo or Win
nipeg, except that Minneapolis .Is
nearer to market, and that Micro aro
great mills located thero (which pat
tho wheat in moro salablo shapo at
a lower cost thnn any other mills on
this continent if not in the world."
GETTING THE TRUER VIEW
From tho Springfield Republican:
Ago has mellowod William Jennings
Bryan, not to speak of the mitigating
effect of tho acceptance of his ideas
that were once fought with fiery
bitterness. There is both humor and
truth in this statement of Mr. Bryan
mado before the Boston City Club:
"If I over did think of running again
for tho presidency and I do not
with these two men (Roosevelt and
Taft) carrying out so many things
I havo advocated, I am afraid somo
republican would raise tho third
term cry on me, and say I had al
ready had two terms of my policies."
It is just as well now and then for
tho unthinking to be brought faco
to face with the fact that the man
best entitled to tho copyright on "my
policies" lives in Nebraska and not
in Oyster Bay, L. I.
