The Reciprocity Scheme.

The Courier Journal has little faith
in Mr.. B 'aine's reciprocity scheme
Here is what, in doublel AIDED edi-
torial, that paper says about the prem
ier's pet idea:
1t seems impossible for Mr.. Blaine t.
understand the operation conformation
al commerce. He says: THE aggre-
gate balance of trade with all Latii
America is against US" This simply
means we buy more nf Latin America
than it buys of u.s. We 10 this because
we get what we want cheaper there
than else where, whereas Latin Amer
lea can buy what she wants cheaper in
Europe than ia the United States
Then Mr.. Blaine proceeds to illus
trate and SAYS: "Since we repealed the
duty ON Coffee in 1862, we have import
ed the products of Brazil To the extent
of 1921 500, 900 and have 5 Id ter on! y
SJ56, 49,. 600 OF our own prJiuc!s.
That j. 81 tremendous indictm mt OF
the tariff. Now see what the oracular
gentleman from Maine has to say about
il. 1.-The difference, 1864 GIL 900, we
have paid in Gold or its equivalent, ami
Brazil has expended the vast sum in
the markets OF Europe"
Nothing could be more misleading
than this analysis. Let US try to uf.-
derstand the transaction.
We bought of BrHZil because she sold
ut low prices.
Brazil did not want to exchange cot
fee and hides for corn or wheat or cot
ton, because Brazil Is an agricultural
country itself.
What Brazil wanted, and what we
could not sell her, Were manufactured
articles-woOlen goods, cotton goods.
hardware. etc.
So Brazil went to Europe and bought
what she wanted, and paid for them
with drafts on America.
These drafts the English took, and
sent them to America to pay for the
wheat and cotton which England
wanted.
To say we paid for them in gold is
ridiculous.
To say we pay for them in gold Is
equivalent is to- utter Ii very simple
thing in very solemn way; OF course
we did.
Only it is TO be noticed that while
our protected laborers i'll the factories
cannot sell their products to Brazil in
competition with the "paup,r labor"
of England, our unprotected farmers
sell and must sell their products in the
competitive markets of Europe.
Does Latin America really want any
great quantity of our agricultural pro-
ducts?
Certainly not Latin America is al
most exclusively an agricultural coun-
try.
Latin America wants dry goods, fur
niture, boots and shoes, hard ware and
articles made in The mills and factories.
Every consul report shows this. Ev-
cry Issue by the Treasury Department
of volume entitled Commercial Re-
lations' shows this. Every lesson in
geography teaches it. MIR. Blaine
knows it Mr.. Frye knows it, Mr..
Sherman knows il. Mr.. Plumb knows
it.
All this cry about reciprocity is pure
hypocrisy.
1t is Iast desperate attempt "to save
the party" by deludiug the people.
Here, farmers of America, is the
hand writing on the wall, a sentence
taken from one of MIR. Blaine's own
letters:
"Our foreign market for hreadstutls
grows narrower"
Down with the war tariff.

MIR. BANDS Bill.

Mr.. Bland has n bill pending in
congress to reduce taxes by placing
on the free list all goods exchanged
in foreign markets. The bill is YER
short and easily comprehended.
Here it is
"That in all cases where it can be
shown by proof satisfactory to the
secretary Of the treasury that any
goods, wares or merchandise i'm
ported into this country have been
purchased abroad by exchange OF
farm products for such goods, OF
where such goods have been pur,
chased with the proceeds or ayails
of farm products in foreign countries,
such goods, wares, or merchandise
shall be imported free Of duty"
Such a bill is all the importers Of
foreign goods, wares and merchan'
disc want, and no doubt they could
afford to pay a good round sum tc
have it pass, but how the wage.
workers and farmers would be bene-
fitted is no upsolved problem. Less
wages and a general decline of farm
products. There is millions In i
for the importer.

REFERRING to a recent TRADE
against southern democrats oy Con-
gresham Featherstone, THE STATE
REPUBLICAN says;
His speech in congress on that sub.
ject shows the character of the av-
eragc democrat in the south. They
resort to murder in order to carry
their point, and openly refuse to
prosecute the criminals.
Missouri is credited with being a
southern state. In what county do
the democrats resort to murder in
order to carry their point? Political
murders, so far as our information
extends, have all been committed in
republican counties where the repub-
lican bald knobbers rule.-Tribune.
No well informed student of his
tory will claim that Missouri is o
southern state. 1t sent more unicn
soldiers into the war of the rebellion
on the basis of population than any
other state in the union with possibly
one exception. The southern boun.
Diary line of the state is the southern
boundary line of Kansas. If the
stale ever seeded it escaped the at
tention of the loyal citizen. On what
ground then can it be claimed that
the fortune of this grand old state
with its loyal and progressive people,
its free schools and liberty loving and
law.abiding citizens shall be linked
with the lawlessness of Mississippi
and Arkansaw. To do so is to ira
duce its fair name and malign its up
right citizens. A state that keep!
step with the progressive ideas Of til,
day, that fosters a free ballot ant
gives the people a fair count, tina
believe in religious and personal lib
erty, that stands at the top of finan
cial honor and state credit, does nc
merit the disgrace that our goo

that the SUN shines on no state in th

The STATE REPUBLICAN Of Jeffer-
son City, says ''there is every reason
for believing that the republicans can
elect their candidate for judge Of the
supreme court if the right man is
nominated" We believe that the
republicans have q chance to win,
but they cannot accomplish anything
unless they go to work. Organization,
united action, intelligent management
and earnest work are needed to in
sure success. A good nomination
will not amount to much unless good
work is done after the nomination.

In the campaign of 1888, Chauncey
1. Filley made an amusing and at the
same time an earnest plea for the egg
industry of the west, in his speeches
throughout southwest Missouri. He
referred to the fact that the poultry
product of the country equaled the
iron product, and that millions of
dozens of eggs were annually shipped
to the United States from Europe and
Canada. He proved the necessity
of protection to this industry in the
western country where the hen range
is capable of producing all the eggs
needed in the world.
When congress assembled last
winter Mr.. Filllcy at oncc wrote to
the committee on ways and means
asking that a duty of from one to five
cents a dozen be placed on eggs in
the tariff revision, in the interest of
the western farmers wives.
the revised tariff bill, as it comes
from the committee, contains the
provision asked for and fixes the
duty at 5 cents q dozen. And now

TIE Tribune thinks that this coun-
try .'can't afford another war;" be-
cause of the pensions now being paid
the union soldiers. 1t seems to give
every democrat the paralysis when
he hears the word ''pension'' men
toned. The pensioners had nothing
to do with bringing about the last
one, and it should be charged up to
Jeff Davis and his friends of the
Tribune who were responsible for it.
The union soldier that is drawing a
pension, If the matter had been left
to him, would have decided that the
country could not "afford" the last
one.
II the people who are worrying so
much now about the pensions, had
done a little of 1t before the rebel
flag was raised there would be no
such thing as a pension today.

Advice to Farmers.

A special TO the World from WASH
ington says that Secretary Rusk is
about to issue an address to the farm.
ers OF the country, explaining how
the depression in agriculture can be
remedied. He attributes the present
state of affairs in part to carelcssness
In culture, and says that in the days
of worldwide competition q success
full farmer must be as we'll trained
and careful in business as the store.
keeper, and his equal in intelligence
and general education.
The secretary also thinks that the
farmer does not study the marke
reports as carefully as he should,
and recommends that he avail himself
Of the information supplied by the
agricultural department. He thinks
that farmers should not acquire more
land than they can probably cult
vate. After touching upon the ques-
tions of farm mortgages, transporta-
ton, the middle man, gambling in
farm products and combinations to
control the market, the secretary
makes a long argument in favor of
higher duties on farm products. He
gives tables to show that our imports
of agricultural products amount to
S22G, 273, 1888, the greater part of
which, probably $3.50, 900, 900, might
be, with proper encouragement, pro-
duced on our own soil. He thinks
that the problem can be solved by
the imposition of high rates Of duty
on agricultural products.

a NEW PAPER MILL.

1t IS fully decided by the stockholders
of the Centralia Pulp and Water Power
company to erect and place III operation
a paper mill in connection with their
pulp mill III South Centralia This
means an investment of at least $780,
| 600. 1t also means an increase in
population and viii stimulate those who
contemplate the establishment of other
| industries in our midst. The cores
pondent to the Milwaukee Sentinel,
among other things, says:
A. 3. Tower, of Holyoke, Mass, q
hydraulic engineer of national reputa-
ton, and n. NJ. Edwards, Of Appleton
aR experienced civil engineer, were
here with e. F. Steele, now of Appleton
looking over water powers and examin-
ing the water of the Wisconsin, to
determine whether it is clear enough
for use in the manufacture OF paper.
Both engineers agree that the water is
in all respects satisfactory. Capt. Tower
is said to have expressed the opinion
that the water powers here are among
the finest now open for Development
in the United States. All that is
needed is capital to make the two cities
of Grand Rapids and Centralia
second Minneapolis and St. Paul, and
capitalists are beginning to see the
opening here. For five miles each way
on the Wisconsin river from these two
cities there is a constant succession of
water powers, some of them entirely
undeveloped, others partially in use.
At each of these powers the whole of
the water of the Wisconsin river might
be used, but at none of them is more
than a third or, at low water, a half of
it in use.

BOARD OF PENSION EXAMINERS ESTAB.
LISHED IN THIS CITY.

a few leading republicans in this CITY
conceived the idea of having a new
pension board established here SO as to
better accommodate the old veterans
IN the twin cities and immediate
vicinity. After consultation with the
Hon. M. FL. McCord, showing the
advantages to be derived by such a
board and the necessity for one, he was
successful in convincing the Commits
sioner Of Pensions that a new board
should be established at this point.
Ihe advantages of such a board to
the twin cities will be noted at once, for
the number of soldiers that will be
ordered here from the outside will be a
large number, each one of which will
have to be fed and lodged at our hotels.
Each visitor means an expenditure of
at least $500, say nothing of the
amount each physician Oh the board
receives for each examination.
The Board will consist of Drs. o. T.
Hougen, Grand Rapids, J. w. Freeman,
of Phillips, and James McNeal, of
Tomah. They Will be in session every
week, Wednesday, and will probably
hold their offices over Woods Drug
store.
The establishing of this board and
the selection of physicians for said
board gives general satisfaction.
