A POSTHUMOUS PAPER.
Elsewhere in this issue of the Far
mer there appears an article on Recip
rocity with Canada which was written
several years ago by J. A. Bolles, then
editor of the New Milford Gazette but
ainoe deceased, and which now appears
far the first time In print. Had the
author foreseen the present tariff sit
uation, he could not have treated it
more pertinently. His reference to
"outrageously protected trusts" Is par
ticularly timely. The article is really
exhaustive of its subject.

IN DEFENSE OF
SHERIFF BLAWIJEY
It appears that Sheriff Hawley did
- " 1,1. tAvAvirisk in tYia fltv
t contest, to a Macedonian appeal
Senator Brandegee to exert himself
;lnfaror of the "Olds". According to
the Sunday Herald, he even interfered
In a toanbury Mayorial contest as a
mean of aiding: the "Olds."
The "YoungB" are strongly inclined
to censure the Sheriff for meddling in
affalss which, they say, do not legiti
mately concern him. They assert that
tie, being a voter in Brookfleld, should
not Interfere in Bridgeport matters.
It is very seldom the privilege of the
Tanner to defend the Sheriff. In this
we are literally compelled by the
tlce, to do so.
Is not Sheriff Hawley an Influential
member of the Republican State ma-
! chine and. as such, obliged to inter
fere for the adjustment of factional
contests throughout the State? Is he
. Wt the Republican County Boss, des
pite the claims of Speaker Banks, and,
-ear-each, compelled to take decisive
part in all troubles within the party,
whether in Bridgeport or Danbury, or
elsewhere? Is he not a member of
' the Federal machine by virtue of hav
ing, with the eleventh hour aid of Sen
ator Bulkeley. re-elected Senator
Brandegee? How could he. In view of
these conditions, do otherwise than, to
aid In the suppression of what he
doubtless co nsiders an unreasonably
combative minority in the Bridgeport
Republican ranks. Engaged in run
ning Federal, State and County ma-
i int"ff. it la ever his imperative duty
to spank any elements which may dare
I to object to such domination.
The Farmer pleads. In the Sheriff 'a
behalf, that though he Is but a citl
aen of a comparatively unimportant
town, he la really charged with State
wide duties, in the execution of which
ha is fearless. Men of such indepen-
t thought and action are rare in
days. Few confront the danger

however, increased the labor demand
in other directions. The loss upon the

constitute one of the redlvisions of
labor which Inevitably follow new dis

A new objection to airships has been
raised. lt Is that, when perfected,
they may be used in smuggling. For
instance, the new Federal rule against
the importation of opium for other
than medicinal purposes may be easily
evaded, or diamonds and other'precious
stones may be imported without pay
ment of tariff duties. It is, however,
rather early as yet to raise this objec
tion. . -.. The Prohibitionists are making an
earnest effort to prevent the levying
of taxes upon either tea or coffee, and to
substitute therefor an Increase of the
tax on beer, from $1 to $2 a barrel. An
argument in support of this plan is
that the tocreased tax would fall up
on the brewers and would not reach
the consumers. Of course the Pro

and thus the troublous question is set

sults. Russia's position as a second
rate power, resulting from war with
Japan, is fixed for a time at least;
Germany becomes the virtual arbiter
of international disputes; France and
Great Britain, deserted by Russia, be
come "mere lookers-on in Venice."
These positions are likely to continue
until Russia, by a second and success
ful war with Japan, resumes the for
mer rank of a first-rate power.
An inheritance tax is really a death
tax. One who contemplates decease,
voluntarily or otherwise, must recon
cile himself to paying for the privilege
of dying, provided he has succeeded
in arenmulatinflr nronprtv. As he has
mutations during life, and his estate
must pay the regular taxes during the
process of settlement, and his heirs
must meet taxation upon receipt of
their shares, it necessarily follows
that an inheritance tax is a charge for
the privilege of dying.
There is one possible source of reve
nue which seems to have been over
looked by the searchers for new taxes.
It may be called the "prospective in
herltance tax" and is, in effect, a tax
upon the privilege of birth. Under ; tion and the development of the re- I great Standard' Dictionary, which will

It would be an easily collected tax,

market for her goods, and will pos
sibly retaliate by discriminating
against American products.
"In accordance with the policy of the
liberals, overtures were made by Can
ada, looking to a reciprocity arrange
ment; but they met with no encour
agement. Early in February Sir
Richard Cartwright, minister of Trade
and Commerce, and Hon. L H. Da vies,
minister of Marine and Fisheries, vis
ited Washington to confer with the
Republican leaders on the matter.
They had been preceded in January by
Messrs. Charlton and Far rax in an
unofficial capacity."
It is interesting to notice that the
repulse which the overtures from Can
ada, received from the United States
induced the Dominion government to
retaliate by discriminating against
American products through the enact
ment of the Preferential British Tariff
of 187. Under this tariff duties on
imports from the United Kingdom and
not a few of its colonies were reduced
12 per cent. In 1898 this reduction
was increased to 25 per cent, and in
1900 to 331-3 per cent., and has been
continued at the latter rate to the
present day. Nevertheless, in spite of
the handicap of this preferential tariff,
the exports of the United States to
Canada have steadily and gratifyingly
grown as can. be learned' from the sta
tistics that appear in a statement sent
put from Washington, D. C, in De
cember, 1904, by the Department of
Commerce and Labor, through its Bu
reau of Statistics. The figures are
Impressive. They show the size, im
portance andi great increase in the
trade between the two countries, the
significant balance of trade in favor of
the United States, and the very note
worthy fact that during the operation
of 'the preferential tariff the share
which the United States supplies of
the total imports into Canada has
grown more rapidly than that of the
United Kingdom, favored though It
has been by a special, and considerable
protection. . I
It is "natural that contiguous coun
tries should trade with each other
more than they do with distant coun
tries and the strength and persistency
f.f this natural tendency are strikingly
seeen in the commercial relations of
Canada, and the United States. Not
withstanding high protective and pref
erential tariffs, jealousies, narrow
mindedness, selfishness, stupidity, in a
word, various kinds of discourage
ments arid drawbacks, the natural ten
dencies of trade have moved forward
In their indomitable. Inevitable course.
The goal Is freedom from tariff and
all other artificial shackles which pre
vent men and nations from dealing in
the manner which, broadly considered,
is the most advantageous to them all.
The student of .history, of government,
of economics, of sociology, would, in
deed, toe discouraged, did he not reach
the cheerful conclusion that through
the toil, the misery, the injustice, the
mistakes, the reactions, the painfully
slow progress of the ages, the power
of natural and moral law is never
overcome and ever works unconquered
toward what la better.
The attitude of Canada during the
period of which I have written was
one which an unprejudiced spectator
would praise. She excelled the United
States in efforts to bring about reci
procity and she did not wish the
treaty of 1854 to be abrogated. After
its abrogation she favored the estab
lishment of closer and broader rela
tions withthi s country until her over
tures in 1897 were opposed by our
government in such a manner that
she became offended, if not disgust
ed, and soon after retaliated by
adopting the preferential duties which
discriminated against the United
States. We cannot particularly blame

fore seeking to prov(ke her further
and consider that she has it in her
power to do us yet more injury- In
the Review of Reviews, October num
ber, 1903, Eugene Hay says:
"Our average tariff on dutiable
goods coming from Canada to the
United States is 49.83 per cent., and
the Canadian average tariff on dutia
ble goods going from the United
States into Canada Is 24.8 3 per cent.
Unless commercial reciprocity is soon
obtained Canadian tariffs will un
doubtedly be raised to approximately
the level of our own, which will prac
tically destroy commerce between the
countries."
It is a time when we should exer
cise calm judfftnent. for the condi
tions are now so rapidly changing that
far-seeing men recognize that we shall
oon neea more noerai traue arran-e-
nts with Canada more than she will
a ineiii wan ua.
indful Of ithe rebuffs she has re-
ceived from the United States
"n wovemoer 1U4. George n,. os
ter. M. P., from North Ontario, said:
"Before I came to the banquet I
was told that I would be expected to
speak on reciprocity. What is abso
lutely a dead question with us is very
much alive with you. During my
term of service with the Conservative
party and while a member of the
Canadian government, I made two or
three pilgrimages to Washington and
begged your senators and representa
tives to grant us reciprocial trade re
lations. I failed in my mission every
time. And now that the question is
dead with us it has been raised from
Its grave by some of you Americans.
Canada may be trusted to work out
her own salvation without the aid of
any reciprocal treaty wixn the United
States." '
Such is the discouraging attitude of
Canada at the very time when many
people in New England as well as
millers in the Northwest who desire
Canadian wheat or making into flour
favor putting our commerce with
Canada on a more liberat basis. For
the Eastern States the case is thus
succinctly stated by the New York
Times:
"In New England the revolt agaiilst
the burdens of the present tariff sys
tem is more formidable because it is
based on practical and Immediate in
terest. That section of the country
wishes to buy of Canada. It needs
fuel and iron and lumber and wood
pulp and other materials and requi
sites of manufactures, and it is fined
heavily if it seeks them In Canadian
markets, where they can be had in
exhaustless quantities and at relative-
ly low Drices. An a manufacturing
section its business has largely gone
West with the movement of Dopula-
aDly depends on the ability to eet ma-
terials and fuel at low cost. Hence
the Increasing earnestness of its bus
iness men for the reduction of dutfes
either directly or by reciprocity. Its
interests are practically the same as
those of all the seaboard states."
William L. Douglass, the new gov
ernor of Massachusetts, in his recent
inaueural address, set forth cogent
reasons why Massachusetts should re
ceive the aid to be derived from a
suitable reciprocity treaty with Cana
da. It is reported that the farmers and
merchants of Canada are quite strong
ly in favor of negotiating a reciproci
ty treaty with the United States. On
the other hand, the manufacturers
and politicians do not want it. No
doubt if the question were made a
leading issue there would also be a
divided sentiment in the United States;
for selfish and personal Interests are
so much involved in all tariff matters
that it is impossible to a-et nr an-v
tariff plan for benefit in the broadest
sense that will not be bitterly fought
uy some, ine present situation is not I
encouraging as it might be; but we
can hope and believe that In time the
majority or our people can be edueat
e dto see that a liberal commercial
policy would be better for both coun
tries than the present one. To this
end let careful consideration be given
to the following weighty words of
Gold win Smith:
"Let any one scan the economical
map of the North American continent,
with its adjacent waters, mark its
northern zone abound in minerals in
bituminous, coal, in lumber, in ash, as
well as in special farm products,
brought in the north to hardier per
fection, of all of which the southern
people have need; then let him look to
its southern regions, the natura. pro
ducts of which, as well as the man
ufactures produced in its wealthy cen
tres of industry, are needed by the peo
ple of the northern zone; he will see
that the continent is an economic
whole, and that to run a customs line
athwart it and try to sever its mem
bers from each other. Is to wage a des
perate war against nature."

NOTE. In rne preparation of this
article I am largely and particularly
indebted for statistics and facts to tb,e
valuable pamphlet entitled "The Re
ciprocity Treaty with Canada of
1854," by Frederick E. Haynes, Ph.D.,
I am also indebted for not a little use
ful information to the work called
"Reciprocity," by Laughlln and Willis
I have also consulted a number of pub
lic documents, histories, newspaper ar
ticles and other means for reference;
and I have selected, condensed, ar
ranged and combined, and have added
new thought in such a manner that I
trust I have presented the subject of
reciprocity and our commercial rela
tions with Canada in a way a good
deal new and different from what it his
been presented elsewhere.
In considering facts and statistics
the reader must bear in mind that Can
ada as now constituted includes a far
greater area of. territory than the
country known as Canada previous to
1867. In that year the British, North
American Act went into force and pro
vided for the voluntary , union of the
whole British North America into one
legislative confederation. under the
name of the Dominion of Canada; and
most, if not all, of the old separate
provinces now belong to the confed
eration. OA

islature of that State pass a bill re
moving protection from the meadow
lark. It has passed the lower house
a twice, tout the Audubon society is mak-
a ! lng a strong effort to have the bill
killed in the Senate. Mr. Smith says
that the meadow lark Is the most use
ful bird to the farmer and fruit grow
er we have. The man Stuckentoruck
makes the claim that this bird eats
grapes, but the investigations of orni
thologists show absolutely that mea
dow larks are wholly beneficial and do
not eat fruit of any sort. The de
struction of grapes, of which complaint
is made, is undoubtedly caused by
wasps and yellow jackets, which punc
ture the grapes and in this way give
the honey bees an opportunity to as

some people would like to see the law
