Gone Back ON Blaine.

Gone Back ON Blaine.
The New York Tribune is souring on
Secretary Blains's scheme for reciprocal
free trade with the nations Of this hemi-
sphere. On the dsy following the pro-
mitigation of Mr.. Blaine's proposition
the Tribune, which had always been the
through-thiok-and-thin eulogist Of that
gentleman, could hardly 6nd too much
TO say in praise Of ''ths most notable
State paper Of the present administra-
ton" "oomprehensive in Its treatment
Of interests affecting the American conti-
nsnt," it urged; luminous in its exposi-
sion Of the most complex questions OF
finance and revenue, and as practical as
II is patriotic in its recommendation for
the expansion of the foreign trade of the
United States, IL is one OF the browning
works 81 an illustrious career. Secretary
slaiEe illumines the broad field Of conti-
AERIAL policy with his clear and practical
Intelligence. He defines tho lines of
necessary legislation by Congress and
outlines q progressive policy for the
United States" And so on, to the length
of over half q column of oongratulatory
editorial.
Only few days have gone by and now
the Tribune is tumbling over itself in its
bury to get back into line with the tariff
shriekers and the oompensators of cam
pAign fat-fryers who affect to think it
would be a grand and glorious achieve
ment to incite retaliatory tariff legislation
against this country from any or all
nations of the earth. With what inward
glee these disciples OF Reed aud Mckinley
must have chuokled when they read that
Mexico and Canada were contemplating q
20 per cent import duty on American
corn; that France had come TO the con-
olusion that the present is q very proper
time not to talk about repeating its i'm
port duty on American lard; tina. even
Great Britain is beginning to entertain
some notion of discriminating against
American hardware, sewing machines
and canned beef and that there is reason
to entertain the hope that the Mckinley
bill may inaugurRte the blessed day when
: we shall cease TO buy from or sell TO any
o,bar ooup,rv and wall ourselvas In as
Japan did, with possibly no Commodore
Perry to come along 200 years from nov
and dig us ont, as he dug out Japan.
It must be the contemplation OF this
dream Of a n,oteotion naradisa ali to onr.
