There is comfort in tbe knowledge so

fulfils every wish io relieving pain in tbe

overoomes that unpleasant, necessity of

LITERARY NOTES.
- The Basis of Canadian Reciprocity.
We need not think the less ot our
Oanadian neighbor for trying to drive a
bard bargain with us in tbe reciprocity
treaty. We gave tbem free lumber under
the Wilson Gorman tariff bill, and ihey
gave a nothing in return. Tbey prob
ably did not tblnk much of out shrewd
ness at the time, for tbey would willing
ly have made a large concession to our
trade tor this very valuable privilege.
They have grown somewhat accustomed
to getting something for nothing, but
tbey now have to deal with an adminis
tration at Washington that is not at all
disposed to give free aooes to our
markets without getting something
valuable ill return. If a new reciprocity
treaty la made, tbe Canadian must ex-
peoi io give a quia pro quo for every
thing they get. They want to sell us
their mutton, beef, eggs, lumber, bay
and barley, and we want to sell them
our shoes, olotbing, farm implements,
and mining maohloery. Here is certainly
good basis for trade. We shall not
throw Into the bargain any such inter
national qneetlon as tbe preservation of
seal life in Bering 8ea From "The New
