P.UO TIM EL V WARNING The Chicago Iltcord-llerald, Inde pendent republican, is urging with all its might that the United States gov ernment not delay in meeting the de mand (or a commercial arrangement with Canada which will permit freer trade between that country and this. The Chicago paper says the opportuni ty to secure commercial reciprocity will not last forever. There is a grow ing d:spos tioa in Canada to raise the tariffs agaiust the United States in the event the people of this country re fuse to make reduct ions inCanada'sfavoi . In fact, there has been a gradual raise In Canadian duties for years and the spirit of retaliation is taking hold of the people. !t is urged that there are great in terests in the I'uited States oppo sed to any reduction in the taritT or to closer communication with Canada. Of course there are. There are great interests in the I'nited States which are opposed to the construction of the I'anama canal, to the regulation of j the trusts or to any other action that will interfere with their monopolies. Those business men in the I'nited States who are opposed to the Canadian reciprocity aie opposed to the removal of any of the res- raims which hold the trade of tl e country in narrow channels which they contiol. They desire to shut off couit eti ion because they want to1 retnin heir grasp upon the throasj of the coosutr.' s and to shut out anyone trom competing with them. Free trade between the United States and t a:iada and wise reductions !n the tari:T genera';. , not nceessarily in such a manner a> to absolutely de stroy protcc :o Amcican industries, would do more than anything else to rcgu! -if thf> trusts in the United States ... .to re ve the people from the dis. uv.u ;l, - resulting from mon opoly in p'uduction and of trade facilities. The ?* ni'r;: of the Hocord-H rold that delay n _ I .n'.al is one that - diers beca..-- tb-* were in the hands of the enemy t U nu; ? p .unly thai" any thing else con. . the d- sj>erute strait in which the I' Arthur garrison was before the surrender.
