We commend the democratic house of representatives upon its support and passage of the bill providing for reciprocal trade relations with Canada. Fair reciprocity has always been a democratic doctrine and while the pending trade agreement originated with a republican president. the democratic members of the house recognized in it a measure which, while not perfect, opens the way for better trade relations and the extension of the American markets, have patriotically given it their support. They have thus demonstrated to the country that they will place patriotism above party advantage and support any meritorious measure which has for its object the purpose of lightening the burdens resting upon the common people.
