Towns and Country. ^
In presenting the prospective ben?fits
of the reciprocal trade agree- (
ment between the United States and
Canada, it Is necessary to consider i
that under the present tariff law (
many of the duties have been whol- 1
ly prohibitive. The present amount e
of importation o-r the present income 1
/* United States through the me
dium of the custom house is, except
in a few instances, no index to *
the future trade in any particular article
or commodity.
The restrictions of the past re- ^
moved, certain articles, to-day only
nominally upon the list of imports i
from the United States Into Canada
and from Canada into the United (
States, must, in the immediate fu- {
ture become important articles of e
trade in one direction or the other I
and in some instances in both direc- t
tlons. The following are among the
important changes in the present j
trade conditions with Canada, which {
the agreement ratified by the bill >
passed will put into effect at once. *
The question, then, is What will rec- t
Iprocity accomplish? It will?
1. Admit to the United States free ,
of duty articles to the value of $3 9,- (
811,560 under which the Payne-Aldrich
tariff law there is now a duty. ,
In return Canada by a remission of '
her duties, will admit free, products ,
of the United States to the value of (
$21,957,605, according to the sta- K
tistics for last year obtainable for ,
purposes of calculation. J
2. Place upon the free list wheat, i
rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, dried <
neas and beans, and corn upon which
the United States at present imposes
a varying schedule of duties
ranging from ten cents per bushel :
for rye to 45 cents per bushel for
I dried beans. All this benefit to the
consumer being accomplished at a
revenue cost to the United States of
less than $300,000.
3.'Place upon the free list cattle,
horses, mules, sheep and swine at
present dutiable at rates approximately
25 per cent., but at a revenue
cost to the United States of less than
$275,000.
4. Place upon the free list vegetables
of all sorts, including potatoes,
cabbages, onions, sweet potatoes and
yams, now taxed at from 25 cents to
40 cents per bushel, and all other
fresh vegetables not enumerated at
25 per cent advalorem, and at a cost
to the United.States of $380,000.

pounds of bleached pulp wood at a
revenue of $175,000.
7. Place lumber upon the free list
thereby relieving the American consumer
of the tariff of $1.25 per 1,000
feet upon the 975,975,000 feet of
sawed lumber imported last year at
a revenue sacrifice of $1,21 9,970.

fresh meats from 11-2 per pound to
1 1-4 cents per pound for the return
concession on the part of Canada of

DREADED DISEASE
?
ASIATIC CHOLERA IS KNOCKING
AT OUR VERY DOOR.
Some Facta About Tills Awful Plague
that Will Be of Interest Just at
the Present Time.
Six deaths In New York and one
n Boston of victims of Asiatic cholera
give warning that the United
States is seriously menaced by the
plague which is so serious in Italy
hat the authorities of that country
ivilJ not permit any information as
,o actual conditions there to be sent
ut to other countries, says the Washngt/on
correspondent of the Charlotte
Observer.
It does not follow that the plague
s likely to become epidemic in this
jountry, for proper precautionary
neasures will preclude that. However,
the plague is at our doors, and
mblic health authorities, both Federal
and State, realize that they have
i serious problem to handle. That
hey have the situation well in hand,
s generally recognized, but it is also
ecognized that conditions might develop
such that the United States
vould have a genuine cholera scare.
Fortunately the Federal health ofIcers
have been preparing for this
jmergency for more than a year.
Cholera is a world disease and moves
n cycles. For eight years the present
pandemic has been spreading over
\sia and Europe and it was expected
o reach the United States this year.
V year ago the United States public
lealth and marine hospital service
ssued a bulletin on "Cholera: Its
Mature, Detection and Preventation,'
vhich gave warning to the coming of
he plague and told State and munici>al
health authorities how to deal
tvith the problem when it reached
;hem.
This is by no means the first time
be United States has been threatened
with this plague. For centuries
there have been epidemics of
cholera In India, but it was not until
sarly in the last century that it assumed
pandemic proportions and
swept over the world. Since 1817
there have been six great pandemics
of cholera, as follows: 1817-1823;
1826-1837; 1846-1862; 1864-1875;
1883-1896; 1902-1911.
The first pandemic spread slowly,
involving India, Java, Borneo, Mauritius,
the Phillipines, China, Persia,
Mesopotamia, Arabia, Syria and Egypt.
The second had a wider spread.
Europe became infected from Persia
and Turkey and it was carried to
Encinnd. Canada, the United States,
Cuba and South America. Since then
each pandemic has covered practicalIf
the entire world.
The fiftn pandemic was perhaps
the most serious. It is estimated
that In two years, 1892-94, over
8 00,000 people died of the cholera in
Russia, and a terrific outbreak in
Hamburg in 1892 cost the lives of
8,600 persons. In 1 893 the disease
reached the port of New York in the
person of immigrants from Europe
and a few cases occurred in Jersey
City.
The present pandemic began in
1902 and spread through farther India
and China to the Phillipines. In
19 03 it spread as usual by way of
Afghanistan, Persia and Arabia to
Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Asia Minor
and the Black Sea. In 1904 it followed
the caravan routes from Central
Asia and the following year
spread over Russia and Poland and
appeared in Prussia.
No great spread of the disease has
occurred in the German empire, because
of the constant vigilance exercised
by the German sanitary authorities,
although the continued persistence
of the disease in Russia has furnished
Germany new infections almost
yearly. The presence and spread
of cholera in Italy, a country from
whiqh this country receives more
immigrants than from any other
country, makes the menace of cholera
to the United States more direct
and threatening than at any time
since 1892-3.

Speech Delivered in the House of
Commons Indicates Nearness of a
Crisis in Dispute Between France
and Germany Over the Morocco
Matter.
A cablegram from London says
the most pessimistic view regarding
the acuteness of the Moroccan situation
was taken Thursday in the
comment of the prime minister,
when he delivered a speech o the
House of Commons which had been
carefully prepared. He stated that
Great Britain proposed to stand for
what she considered her rights and
to maintain the balance of power in
Furope.
Further testimony to the gravity
of the situation Is given by the fact
that the prime minister had taken
the leader of the Opposition into the
Government's confidence, and Mr.
Mr. Balfour's declaration was no less
firm than Mr. Asquith's.
The prime mjnisterte statement
is couched in strong terms. At the
very opening he said:
"It is obvious that this 'Moroccan
question has reached a point at
which it will become increasingly
difficult embarrassing and anxious
unless a solution Is found."
Later he said: "We thought It
right from the beginning to make
clear that failing of a settlement
such as I have indicated, we must
become an active party In the dis
cussion of the situation. That would
be our right as a signatory to the
treaty of Algeciras, as It might be
our obligation under the terms of
our agreement of 1904 with France.
It might be our duty in defense of
British interest directly affected by
further developments."
In promsing the support of the
oposition to the government Mr. Balfour
said:
"If there are any who supposed
that we would be wiped off the map
of Europe because we have our differences
at home, it may be worth
while saying that they bitterly mistake
the temper of the British people
and the pariotism of the opposition."
Such plain speaking on a question
frought with possibilities of a great
European war has not been heard in
the British Padliament in a great
many years. The outcome of the
siuation appears to rest almost wholly
on Germany's shoulders. If as
some German papers say, Germany
has reached the stage of national development
where the necessities of
her population demand that she enlarge,
and imjposes conditions on
France which Great Britain think
threaten her interests, the only result,
so far as those best informed

long: averted European war .
The. majority of the German newspapers
-profess to think that Mr.
Lloyd-George warning was not addressed
to Germany, but a sort of
general proclamation of principles.
The prime minister made it plain,
however, that Great Britain would
not consent to some of the ideas of
Germany. Great Britain feels that
Germany thought she could take advantage
of the crisis, and that England
was busily engaged in home affairs?too
busy to pay attention to
other questions. The politicians and
the public earnestly hope that Germany's
programme is not one which
may be impossible.
The British prime ministers
statement in the House of Commons
was greeted in Paris with the greatest.
satisfaction. The opinion expresed
to-night is one of confidence
in a satisfactory settlement of the
controversy between France and
Germany.
Premier Caillaux conferred with
M. Desolves, minister of foreign affairs,
and afterwards with the ministers
of war, marine, public works
and finance. Later M. Caillaux said
that prudence and cool heads were
morethan necessary to all parties.

GOOD FOR IRE SOUTH
THE RACE PROBLEM BECOMING
LESS OPPRESSIVE
The Census Figures Show Unmistakably
that the Whole South Is
Growing Whiter.
The fear has often been expressed
that the farming sections of the
South are coming increasingly into
the control of a negro population.
"The white people are moving to
the towns and leaving the country
to colored farmers and tenants," is
a cry that has been 'heard in some
quarters. For these reasons we
have .been looking forward with the
i 4tn tho announce
KjC'l'llt'Sl Illusion w v.. v
nient of the census figures as to the
relative increase of white and colored
population in the South during
the last decade.
The first peep at wtat these figures
are going to show was furnished
by Mr. Lewis W. Parker in his
commencement address at the South
Carolina State University a few days
ago. In the course of this address
Mr. Parker gave the following figures
as having been furnished Mr.
Theodore II .Price by the Director
of the census. These are advance
figures, and while final computation
may change them slightly, they may
be accepted as in every respect substantially
and approximately correct.
We quote from Mr. Parker:
"Per cent increase in population
living in places of over 2,500 inhabitants,
and in country districts, respectively,
front 1890 to 1900, and
from 19 00 to 1910, in nine cotton
States:
Places over 2,500 in 1890?
Increase Increase.
1890 to 1900 1900 to 1910.
White. ..... 27.6 46.6
Negro 23.3 30.5
Country districts in 1890?
Increase Increase.
1890 to 1900 1900 to 1910.
White 18.7 17.3
Negro 17.5 8.3
In commenting on these figures
Mr. Parker said:
"It will be noted that the white
population in communities of over 2,500
in population increased in percentage
between 1900 and 1910, 46.6
4 A" A. Z?
per cent as against z7.0 per cem m 1
1890 to 1900. During such period,
the negro population in these communities
increased 30.5 per cent, as
against an increase of the preceding
period of 23.3 per cent. On the
other hand, the white population increased
in the country districts, 19 00
to 1910, almost identically the per
cent as from 1 890 to 1 900; whereas
the negro population shows a much
lower percentage of increase, as the
increase in the country districts in
the later period is only 8.? per cent,
as against 17.5 per cent in the earlier
period."
In commenting on the above figures
the Progressive Farmer, of Raleigh,
N. C., says they indicate unmistakably
that the whole South is
growing whiter. If we recall that
the country places in 1 890 embraced
over 80 per cent of the population of
these nine states, and that the small
negro rural increase of 8.5 per cent
applies to about four times as large
a body of population as the negro's '
larger urban increase of 3 0.5 per
cent, another fact becomes apparent;
The white population of the whole
South is increasing a'most exactly
twice as fast as the negro population
?probably more than twice as fast.
And we are frank to say that we
heartily rejoice that this is tiue. We
have no ill will to the negro. We
certainly have no desire to keep him
poor. Even from a selfish standpoint
we realize that the best Interests of
the whole South demand that he be
made more intelligent, efficient, and
prosperous.
Rait at best the process will be
slow; and the proportion of negroes
to whites in the South has been too
large oven for the negro's own good.
The best Interest of everybody will
be helped by a greater relative increase
in the white population. The
coming of good settlers from other
sections should be encouraged, and
the hope should be that the tides
of migration and immigration will
i ultimately equalize matters until the
proportion of negroes in no Southern
> Sta.to will exceed 2 0 per cent. Then
will it be easier to develop thickly
> settled white communities.
i Prosperous small white farmers,
> owning their own homes, and enjoyi
ing all modern comforts?good
r roads, good schools, rural telephones,
) water works, trolley lines, etc., etc.,
things it is often hard to get where
a large part of the population consists
of negro tenants?will develop
3 In the South the most splendid type
- of modern rural civilisation, and a
- kindlier feeling for the negro him
self will develop as his influence bei
comes less oppressive and his num3

t The Soutehrn white farmer hae
sense enough to see that with intelligent
