True reciprocity is exemplified
whan farmers patronise the home
merchants potronizing the home
printers, the laborers spending the
money they earn with their own
trade -nen, and they buying their
things at homeinst ad of going away.
The spirit of reciprocity between bus
iness men and mechanics, tradesmen
and -borers, the farmers and manu
facturers, results always in making
the town a good one for business.

There 13 a great deal of careieFsnef s in
certain popular demands for referring
questions between nations to arbitration.
We all know what arbitratjpn is in busi
ness. It is a very convenient way of ad
justing certain questions which arise be
tween two friends, each of whom wants
to do what is right, but who- take differ
ent points of view of the same subject.
Each of them "chooses a man," as the
old New England phraso has it. These
two "men" choose a third man. All
parties meet together and talk over the
matter, and the court thus made decides.
Butrfor practical purposes we do not
comiel- every i)C-rson who lias a question
arising with another person to create a
court which is to try that question. If a
policeman catches a pickpocket in the
street, he does not appoint one person to
try thepickpocket and ask the pickpocket
to appoint another, wbile these two shall
appoint a third. If Mr. Cheeryble in
London is not satisfied vrith the account
which Mr. Goodchild in Kansas City
sends him, if Mr. Goodchild cannot make
Mr. Cheeryble understand that account,
they do not appoint a court which shall
determine how much is due and how
much is not due. There is a court ex
isting to which that question can be re
ferred and there are processes perfectly
understood by which that court can d3-
cide it.
This is a fair enough illustration of the
necessity which now exists th& t the great
nations of the world shall have a ionna
nent tribunal, before which shall be
brought the important questions which
must arise in the affairs of nations with
each other. It is to be a permanent tri
bunal. There is not to be one tribunal
about seals and another tribunal about
boundaries and another about extradi
tion. There is to be a tribunal which
shall gradually gain the confidence of
the whole world, and which shall decide
these questions which have been left
hitherto to a vague public opinion and to
what is called the arbitration of war.
Clearly we are approaching nearer ana
nearer the creation of snch a tribunal.
The greatest success was achieved
when in 1789 13 different nations, here
on tne coast or the Atlantic, united to
gether and established the supreme court
of the United States. The thing has
worked so perfectly and simply ever
since that we have many readers to
whom it has never occurred that there
were might have been wars between
Massachusetts and New York, or war
between Missouri and Iowa, as bitter
and severe as half the wars of the middle
ages in Europe were. There might have
been such wars if it had not been tiat
thesupreme court of the United State
has determined at least a hundred ques
tions arising between different proud and
independent states and has so deter
mined them that each of the state.-? ha
acquiesced in the decision. Nay, it has
10 determined them that half the citizens
of those states did not know that any
such questions existed. Between my own
state of Massachusetts and the state of
Rbodo Island there was aquation about
boundaries some 40 or CO years ago which
was more important than many of the
questions which have thrown European
states into war with each other. The su
preme court of tho United States deter
mined the question, and I do not believe
that half the peoplo now living in Mas
sachusetts who were living then ever
knew that there was any such question
at issue.
The six great powers of th world are
the powers who should agree on such a
high court of judicature, to exist as a
permanent tribunal. It would be easy
to arrange eome system by which its
judges should be appointed. Perhaps a
good system would be such as is indi
cated in the custom which has been
spoken of above. Each of the six nation
might name one of these judges, and the
six judges might nominate six other
judges, to be approved by a majority of
the high powers forming the court.
At first the new court would have
nothing to do. Everybody would be shy
of it, but it would exist. It would con
sist of men of the very highest rank who
had distinguished themselves before the
world by their equity and wisdom.
At first the court would meet simply
for its own organization and to await
the reference to it of questions arising
between great nations. In this period of
leisure these jurists might well be en
gaged in digesting the international law
of the world as it exists now and pub-
