HOW IT HAS HOODWINKED MASSA

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.
