We must take scrup- ulous caro that the reapplication shall be made in such o way that it will not amount to a dislocation of our system, the mere threat of which (not to speak of the per- formance) would prodice paralysis in the businese energles of the community. The first condideration in making these changes would, of course, be to preserve the prin- | ciple which underlies our whole tariff sys- tem—that |s, the principle of putting y should not hos nely . or Amerfcan business interests at least on a il equality with of always allowing duty to more than between the labor interests abroad, a sufficient rate of cover the difference cost here and abroad. The well-being of the wage-worker, like the well-belng of the tiller of the soil, should be treated as an essential in shap- Ing our whole economic policy. There must never be any change which will jeopardize tho standard of comfort, the standard of wages of the American wage- worker. and Reciprocity is Advocated. way in which the readjustment sought can be reached is by reciprocity treaties. 1t is greatly to be desired that such treaties may be adopted. They can be used to widen our markets and to give a greater fleld for the activities of our producers on the one hand and on the other hand to secure in practical shape the low- cring of duties when they-are mo longer | needed for protection among our own peo- ple, or when the minimum of damage done may be disregarded for the sake of the maximum of good accomplished. If it prove Impossible to ratify the, pemding treatie and 1If there seem to be mo warraht for the endeavor to execute others, or to amend the pending treaties so that they can be ratified, then the same end—to secure reci- procity—should be met by direct legisla- tion. Wherever tariff conditions are such that & needed change cannot with advantage be made by the application of the reciprocity idew, then it can be made outright by a lowerdng of duties on a given product. I possible, such change should be made only after. the fullest. consideration by - prac- tical experts, who should approach the sub- ject from a businéss standpoint, having in view both the particular interests affected and the commercial well being of the peo ple as a whole. The machinery ‘for pre viding such careful investigation .can read- ily be supplied. The executive dephrtment has already at {ts disposal methods of col- lecting facts and figures, and if the con- gress desires additional consideration to that which will be given the subject by its own committees, then a commission of business experts can be appointed whose | duty 1t should be to recommend action by the congress after a deliberate and sglen- tific examination of the various schedules as they are affected by the changed and changing conditions. The unhurried and unblased report of this commission would show what changes should be made in the | various schedules, and how far these | changes could go without also changing the | great prosperity which this country is now | enjoying or upsetting its fixed economic | policy. | The cases in which the tariff can pro- }duce a monopoly are so few as to consti- | tute an inconsiderable factor in the ques- | but of course if in any case it be | found that a given rate of duty does pro- | mote a monopoly which works ill, no pro- tectionist would object to sych reduction lot the duty as would equalize competi- | tion, In my judgment the tariff on anthracite coal should be removed and anthracite put actually, whero it now is nominally, on the free list. This would have no effect at all save in orises; but in crises It might be of service to the people. Currency and Bank One | Interest rates are a potent factor in bu: ness activity, and in order that these rates may be equalized to meet the varying needs |of the seasons and of widely separated | communities, and to prevent the recurrence of financial stringencfes which injuriously | affect legitimate bustness, it is necessary | that there should be an element of elas- tieity In our monetary system. Banks are { the natural servants of commerce, and upon them should be placed, as far as practicable, the burden of furnishing and malntaining a cirtulation adequate to sup- ply the needs of our diversified industries and of our domestic and foreign commerce; and the lssue of this should be 8¢ regulated that a sufclent supply should be always | avallable for the business interests of the | eountry. 1t would be both unwise and unnecessary |at this time to attempt to reconstruct our financial system,‘which has been the growth of a century; but some additional legisla- { tion is, 1 think, desirable. The mere out- | Mme of any plan sufMciently comprehensive | to meet these requirements would trans- gress the appropriate limits of this com- munication. It is suggested, however, that all future legislation on the subject should be with the view of encouraging the use of such instrumentalities as will auto- matically supply every legitimate demand of productive industries and of commerce, mot only in the amount, but ip the char- acter of circulation; and of making all kindo of money interchangeable, and, at the will of the holder, convertible into the es- tablished gold standard.

Both kinds of fed- eration, capitalistic and labor, can do much good, and as a necessary corollary th ean both do evil. Opposition to each kind of organization should take the form of opposition to whatever is bad in the con- Auct of any given corporation or union— not of ttacks upon corporations as such nor upon unions as such; for some of the most far-reaching beneficent work for our people has been accomplished through both corporations and unions. Bach must refrain from arbitrary or tyranmous interference with the rights of others. Organized cap- ital and organized labor alike should re- member that in the long run the interest of each must bo brought into harmony with the interest of the.general public: and the conduct of each must conform o the fundamental rules of obedlence to the law of individual freedom and of justice and fair dealing toward all. Each should remember that In addition to power it must strive after the realization of healthy, lofty and generous fideals. Every em- ployer, every wage worker, must be guar- anteed his liberty and his right to do as he Itkes with his property or his labor so long as he does mot infringe upon the rights of others. It is of the highest im- portance that employer and employe alike should endeavor to appreciate each the viewpoint of the other and the sure dis- aster that will come upon both in the long run it either grows to take as habitual an attitude of sour hostility and distrust toward the other. Few people deserve better of the country than those repre sentatives both of capital and labor—and there are many such—who work continu- ally to bring about a good understanding of this kind, based wpon wisdom and upon broad and kindly eympathy between em- ployers and employed. Above all, we need to remember that any kind of class ani- mosity in the political world 1s, if possible, even more wicked, even more destructive to national welfare, than sectional, race or religlous animosity. We can get good gov- ernment only upon condition that we keep true to the principles upon which this na- tion was founded, and judge each man not as a part of a class, but upon his individual merits. All that we have a right to ask of any man, rich or poor, whatever his creed, his occupation, his birthplace, or his residence, is that he shall act well and honorably by his neighbor and by his country. We are neither for the rich man as such nor for the poor man as such; we are for the upright man, rich or poor. S0 far as the constitutional powers of the national government touch these matters of general and vital moment to the nation, they should be exercised In conformity with the principles above set forth. Department of Commerce, It is earnestly hoped that a secretary of commerce may be created, with a seat in the cabinet. The rapid multiplication of questions affecting labor and capital, the growth and complexity of the organizations through which both labor and capital now find expression, the steady tendency toward the* employment of capital -in huge. cor- porations, and the wonderful strides of this country toward leadership im the inter- national business world, justify an urgent demand for the creation of such a position. Substantially all the leading commercial bodles in this country have united in re- questing its creation. It is desirable that some such measure as_that which has al- passed the senate be enacted into law. The "creitlon of #uch a'depaftmient would in itself be an’ advance toward denling with and exerclsing supervision over the whole subject of the areat cor- porations doing an interstate business, and with this end in view the congress should endow the department with large powers, which could be increased as experiencd might show the need. Reciprocity with Cuba. 1 hope soon to submit to the senate a reciproeity treaty with Cuba. On May 20 last the United States kept its promise to the fsland by formally vacating Cuban sofl and turning Cuba over to those whom her own peoplo had chosen as the first oficials of the new republic. Cuba lles at our doors, and whatever affects her for good or for ill affects us also. So much have our people felt this thit in the Platt emendment we definitely took the ground that Cuba must hereafter have closer political relations with us tkan with any other power. Thus in a sense Cuba has become a part' of our interna- tional political system. This makes it necessary that in return she should be glven some of the benefits of becoming part of our economic system. It s, from our own standpoint, a short-sighted and mischievous policy to fall to recognize this need. Moreover, it is unworthy of a mighty and generous nation, itself the greatest and most successful republic in history, to refuse to stretch out a helping hand to a young and weak sister republic just enter- ing upon its career of independence. We ehould always fearlessly insist upon our rights in the face of the strong, and we should with ungrudging hand do our gen- erous duty by the weak. I urge the adop- tion of reciprocity with Cuba not only be- cause it 18 eminently for our own interests to control the Cuban market and by every means to foster our supremacy in the tropi- cal lands and waters south of us, but also because we, of the glant republic of the north, chould make all our sister nations of the American continent feel that when- ever they will permit it we desire to show ourselyes disinterestedly and effectively thelr - riend. Trade with Newfoundland. A convention with Great Britain has been concluded, which will be at once laid be- fore the senate for ratification, providing for reciprocal trade arrangements between the United States and Newfoundland on substantially the lines of the convention formerly negotiated by the secretary of state, Mr. Blaine. I belleve reciprocal trade relations will be greatly to the ad- vantage of both countries. Interuational Arbitration. As clvilization grows warfare becomes less and less the normal condition of for- elgn relations. The last century has seen a marked diminution of wars between civil- ized powers; wars with uncivilized powers are largely mere matters of international police duty, essential for the welfare of the world. Wherever possible, arbitration or some similar method should be employed in lieu of war to settle dificulties between clvilized nations, although as yet the world has not progressed suficlently to render it | possible, or necessarily desirable, to in- voke arbitration in every case. The forma- tion of the international tribunal which sits at The Hague ls an event of good omen from which great consequences for the wel- tarc of all mankind may flow. It is far better, where possible, to invoke such a permanent tribunal than to cre arbitrators for a given purpose. It |s a matter’of sincere congratulation to our country that the United States and | Mexico should have been the first to use the good offices of The Hague court. This was done last summer with most satiefac- tory resuits in the caseof a claim at issue between us and our sister republic. It is ecarncstly t0-be hoped that tbis first case will serve se & precedest for others, in (Continued oo Seventh Page.)

REFUSAL WILL BE MET BY JOINT ACTION Recent Increases Not Considered Suf- clent on Western and Northwes ern Lines and Those Entering Chiengo from the East, CHICAGO, Dee, 2.—With the purpose of formulating requests for increases of from 10 to 20 per cent in the pay of 170,000 rail- | road employes, committees from four labor organizations are mow meeting in Chicago and expect to present their demands early next week. The four organizations represented by the committees are: Locomotive 'Engineers, Raflroad Trainmen, Raflway Conductors. For the first time in eight years the four organizations are working in harmony and may be counted upon to stand together in the possibility of trouble with the rail- roads. 1t is announced ‘that requests for in- creased pay will be made on every railroad system in the middle west and northwest and on eastern roads entering Chicago. The roads are to be given one month to meet the demands. 1f, by that time, a dis- position to treat is not shown concerted ac- tion will be taken, 1t is the general opinion that drastic ac- tion will be unnecessary as railroad man- agers are showing a disposition to treat with committees. of their employes and the chances are that amicable adjustments of the wage question will be effected. In some instances the increases have been already formulated. The engineers employed by the Chicago & Northwestern are asking 4% cents a mile. They are now recelving 37-10 cents a mile, The Chicago & Alton men have also form- ulated their requests. A new rate went into effect today and provides for a maximum of 4% cents a mile for engineers. This is not considered satistactory and 7 cents a mile will be demanded. The new rate estallishes a minimum of 2.66 cents a mile for firemen. , They will ask 3 cents. The freight conduétors will ask 4 cents and the brakemen 3 cents. Passenger conductors are now recelving $120 a month. They will ask $135. Passenger firemen are now paid $60 a month and will ask $75.

R HEUMATISM Rubbing with liniments, blistering, the :Eplicn!ion of plasters; in fact anythin that will produce counter-irritation, is g {or external treatment of Rheumatism, but these simple remedies do not reach the seat of the disease nor touch the real cause, and relief is therefore only temporary. Rhenmatism s due. o Urie. Acid and other irritant poisons in the blood, and as it circulates through the system, these acid poisons are deposited in the muscles, joints and nerves, and exposure to night air, cold east winds, or any sudden change in the weather, will bring on an attack, which miay last for a few days or linger on for months, Every battle with Rheumatism leaves you weaker and the blood in rer condition, while the corrodiug acids are gradually consuming the oils and fluids that lubricate the muscles nd joints, and they become stiff and some- times immoyable, Rheumatism, with its sharp, cutting pains, can never be conquered until the acid blood has been cleansed and purified, and all irritating substances neutralized and filtered out of the system, and nothing does this so prom and effectually as S. S. S. | Under the purifying and tonic effects of th vegetable remedy the blood is not only made pure and stigng again, but the dencra health is rapidly built up and the suffere obtains happy relief from the torturing nagging pains of Rheumatism.
