Jas. g. Blaine.

James G. Blaine arrived in America
after the absence of more than Il year
and was accorded q reception worthy OF
Prince in lands where princes are
somebody's, The only draw back to the
pre-arransed occasion was the delay OF
the steam er, New York two DAYS over
her accredited time and the consequent
pre- nervousness Of the arrangements
for his reception. When the steamer
failed to arrive on time the parade was
made and many Of the paraders went
home, but let it be written and remcm
bered that the Maryland boys did not
20 home, but were Of the thoroughbred
kind that stayed to the finish.
Mr. Blaine is to-day the most prom
incnt man in America, oyershadoWlng
Harrison, and Cleyeland, unquestlona-
bly, to the modification Of both.
Just why Blaine excites more ADM
ration and creates greater enthusiasm
than Sherman, who is more than his
peer as fnancier, Edmunds who is
more than his peer in legal attainments
Hawlcy who has reaped more renown
as a soldier apd Ingalls, who has eXcell-
ed him in partisan eloquence is one Of
the political conunlrums that we are
compelled to give up. That his popu-
larity outbids that of a supposititious IN
carnation in one Of all the strength OF
those with whom we have com pared

The Tariff Situation.

Should it turn out that tn e u. 5.
Senate finance committee that is now
preparing a tar if bill to be offered as a
substitute for the House "Mllls' bill,
should in its turn produce u bill that in
fact reduces the revenue from ln-
port duties, then will the true mar
row Of the promised bone Of conten-
ton have eliminated from the canvass,
for, in such event, the on y claim pos
slble for a difference between the two
great parties will be IN degree aid not
IN eSse.
If the reduction of the tariff is a
mistake, then, unless the present tariff
is absolutely perfect, the correct prln-
ciple in political economy would de-
mand that the duties Oh imported goods
be increased. This is surely a plain
and incontrovertable proposition and to
the end that the point may be made
palmer we will re-state it in the form
of IA syllogism.
Tariff reduction is an error:
The present tariff schedule is lmper-
feet: therefore,
Amy change made in existing rates
should raise them.
Now, to the end that an economic
problem may be settled on its merits
and that the supreme issue of lresl-
dental election may be taken advan-
tage of as the occasion Of such settle
ment, let us hope that the Senate, con-
fessedly pro- protection, may report a
bill that corrects the present tariff
schedule by increasing import duties,
when the issue will for once be clearly
defined and, if the people teachers are
honest, the verdict OF the people at the
polls will settle decisivelya question
of vastly greater Importance than
whether Cleveland and his party friends
or Harrison and his party friends, view
ed as ''ins' and "outs' are to enjoy the
honor and emojumcnts Of office.
Is it hoping too much: is it expecting
too much to look fora canvass conduct
ed upon the basis Of reason and intel
liconce. The Senate Finance Com
mittees tariff bill will answer the qucs-
ton.

OF INTEREST TO sTOcxMEN.

No doubt stockmen are watching
with much interest tho war between
the butchers and the dressed beef
monopoly, as well as the senatorial
stigation which begun last mon, h
in IT Louis. We have found differ
ence OF opinion among them as
regards their own interests. Some
appear To lie satisfied with the pres
ent condition OF things M Chicago and
do not think the combine of the big
four operates injuriously To he range
industry; Others would prefer To see
more buyers.

how are they enabled TO do this and
how long will they do il /? l. il berause
they operate on n more Intensive scale
or because the combine il ~ power

The consumers have no complaint to

after the local butchers are driven out
of business altogether will they fare

not seriously affect the western cat lie

create IA greater demand for western

in retail stores throughout the east
instead OF the present method In an
editorial on this question the Inter
Ocean says;
1t stands to reason that ranchmen will
fare better when they can send their cattle
in bulk to IA common market than when
they are forced tn ship them in three and
four ear lots to various parts OF the coun-
try. Awaiting themselves of the oppor-
tunity, they have Of choice built up the
great receiving establishments, and there
they will go as long as they can get their
prices. When they are not satisfied with
the Chicago market they eau ship direct To
New York or Boston. There 10 nothing To
prevent their doing that. The trouble
seems to be merely that the great esta blish-
ments can supply the consumer at cheaper
rates than can local butchers. their opera
tions being on a scale So much vaster. la
this fact lies all the ground OF complaint
against the Chicago esta blishments, a al he
unfounded charges of imperfect inspection.
Of injury to the grower and oi railroad sub
sides are urged for the purpose Of running
this sort Il competition.
Our sympsthles naturally go out
TO the small operator. He should not
be crushed by combined wealth which
buys up railroads and legislatures,
but given an even chance. Ii the
butchers have a grievance that can be
remedied by legislation, well and good.
Ii it is clearly a question OF enterprise,
meeting OF new demands. which ne
cessitates large capital and combina-
ton, then it becomes a question oi
"a survival OF the iittest." The out

The question OF registration law
is again being agitated. IL is wise to
place all safeguards around the ballot
box, but it should be done in such a
manner as not to work a hardship in
the rural districts. There is where the
honest ballot is usually east. A law
that would disfranchise our stockmen
would operate as an injury istead of
a blessing. The plug and worth

TO vote, could avail himself OF priv
leees denied to the tax-paying stock

as swearing IN the vote.
