Aeiv England Manufacturers Can 111 Afford to Dissolve Partnership W till Amrrlcnn l>'tirnierM For Doubt ful Dickers With t'auada. 11l 11 state like Massachusetts, where Ihe Intellectual average Is high and v. here the Republican average is high er still, as it is Invariably found to be in nil com in unities. It is surprising that !■ . considerable a number of people should be apparently unable to per ceive a perfectly obvious thing. It serins strange that among the Uo.OUO or tin- 50,000 or the 100,000 or whatever ir..:,v be the real number of Massachu si its business men who have attached their names to the Canadian reciproc ity petition at least one-half of the signero—the Republican half—-cannot hot' that they are being used by de signing politicians to promote a free trade scheme anil to weaken the lie publican party. We sny among the li.">, 000 or 50,000 or 100,000 signers. As a matter of fact, it Is unlikely that so many as 83,000 have signed the Whit ney-Foss petition. Probably less than half that number of business men have s;-aicd. It is easy to exaggerate in such cases. 15ut, be the number what it may— even supposing that 1,000 or 5,000 lie publican business men have actually si; lied the Whitney-Koss petition—the voiuler still remains that so many in telligent men should have failed to see that they were lending themselves to a X• 1 r>t hatched and promoted by free traders. Mr. Whitney Is a free trader ill politics. Moreover, he owns coal mines in Nova Scotia and stands to leap much profit if free trade in coal can be brought about. Mr. Foss, though claiming to be a protectionist, has over .•mil over again declared himself to be a rabid revisionist and a strenuous ad v "•;>te of such reciprocity as will ena ble him to buy cheaper the raw mate rials used in his manufacturing busl ines. Hut he has not, we believe, ever expressed a desire for lower tarilT du ties on the articles which come Into competition with his own manufac tured products. it ought to be by this time perfectly clear that the Republican signers of the Whltney-Foss petition are 011 the v.:»ng track. Not only are they being nod as tools by a free trade cabal, but tlie.v are giving their moral support to a project that, if successful, will In evitably work to their Injury. They oupht to stand pat. They are already enjoying the benefits of a system of reciprocity of far more value to them than Canadian reciprocity can ever be. They now have a system of reciprocity with the 10,000,000 farmers In the United States. Canada's entire popu lation Is but little more than 5,000,000. From these 10,000,000 American farm ers New England buys Its foodstuffs, and to them it sells its manufactured products. Is not that reciprocity? Yes, and far better reciprocity than can be had with Canada. Canada wants to sell her cheaper food products and her cheaper raw materials to New Eng land, but she is not going to buy of New England a dollar's worth more of manufactures 011 that account. That much Is settled. Improvement of llonila Adds to tlii Value ol llciil ENtnte. Whether a city or town should in crease the taxes or issue bonds to pro * hie for good roads and pavc.l streets is. of course, a matter that depends v.Ty much upon special conditions and localities, says Good Roads Magazine, lint be this as it may. It luay be broad ly stated that the individual citizen f-i'ts a far greater return for his ex i> •mllture for taxes, provided such out lay be made wisely and economically, than for any other purpose. '1 he taxpayer has not only the per sonal advantage of the use of good roads and smooth streets, but these likewise add greatly to the value of his real estate. In this sense he ought to cheerfully bear his share for such Improvements, although, of course, in a potential sense n bond issue may easily l>e Justified. As n matter of fact, the real estate ; owner may well bear an Increase of SIOO annually in his taxes provided this Increase be pro rata with that of others, while he wisely hesitates at an expense of a quarter of that sum 011 his own personal estate. All this, of course, goes without saying, and yet the taxpayer often forgets It.

Life Insurance A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE A POLICY WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE BliCAUSE—lncontestable from tilt date of issue. Because—absolutely without restrictions. Because—noil forfeitable from date of issue. Be cause—cash loans are provided after second year, on demand at 5 per cent interest without fee or other charge. Because—if death does not occur an accumulative policy is a highly profi table investment for the policy-bolder who lives. Policies now maturing to living policy-holders prove this. 111 fact X I'AY YORK IJFE policies do not leak. Health and Accident Insurance also written.
