1t is suggested--and thasaggestion
seems a good one---tllat we ought 10
publish in this country something like
the English Blue Books and the Ger
man White Books, pamphlets con
tanning all the information OIL sublects
that come up for pnblic discussion
and decision. II, for instance, the
public tnind is excited Oh the Congo
question, the State Department Of
Great Britain publishes a Blue Book
coDtaiaieg all the State papers and
all the information shout the Congo.
Parliament, therefore, can ACT inLelli-
gently on this question, having all The
facts before it; aud the people can
pass Judgment on Rarliament, since
the whole question is thus presented
10 them.
We occaBiouslly do this. The &c.
port of the tariff commission, for IN.
stance, covered all the points Of the
tariff aud gaEe the country "a great
deal OF valuable information, which
enabled il TO pass intelligent judg
ment on this great politlcal-economi
cal problem The State and othei
departments, moreover, frequently
publish valuable reports, which Civ,
information on the topics being dis
eussed by Congress but This practiet
is moi as general as in Europe ant
very often great public questions ar
brought up before Congress for de
eision without the facts affecting then
being made known.
There are several points on whicl
an American Blue Book would Be Q
great1yalue just there. Take the va
rieus reciprocity treaties, for instance
There is a decided difference Of opin
Jonas to their effect; and the Amer
can public ought to have all the infol
nation needed to form a PFepe
opinion. We need information as +
our chance Of improving trade wit
Cuba, as 10 the sugar crop Of The il
lard, etc. OF course these question
should have been considered by tli
State Department before making thes
tTeaties Bat as they have not, 2
certainly have not been made public
il would sbe well ID supply ithe def
