The sound and strong quality of Mr.
Blaine's craftsmanship has never been bet
ter shown than in his insistence that this
country should so arrange as to receive
compensatory advantages for making sugar
aud other articles free In "A letter written
June II Mr. Blaine said. I'VE ought 10 Sc
cure IN return for free sugar IA market for
$50 ,OOO, 600 or $40, 600 600 worth of our
own products Last week President Har
rison transmitted TO Congress a letter from
Mr.. Blaine conveying the report of the
Pan American conference upon the subject
of customs union A considerable part of
the letter is devoted to statistics showing
the value and amount of the commerce of
the Central and South American states, in
which the United States participates to
only very limited extent He calls es-
pecial attention to the fact that more than
- per cent Of the products of the Latin
American nations sent to our ports are
now admitted free If sugar Is placed
upon the free list, practically every i'm
portant article exported from those states
will he given untaXed access to our mar
kets, except wool The real difficulty, he
says, IN the way of negotiating profitable
reciprocity treaties is that we have given
freely So much that would have had value
in the mutual concessions which such
treaties imply, but he believes that the ad
vantages already conceded bv us will fla
voraby dispose our sister voters of Soutl
America TO adopt such measures, bv treaty
or otherwise, as will tend to equalize anc
greatly enlarge our mutual exchange

committee has been modified in many i'm
portant particulars from the form as it left
the house. and the indications are that in
the end il will go 10 a conference committee

the efforts of the Vermont delegation maple
sugar has been included in the bounty list,
with "A provision that no bounty will be
given when the producer makes less than
500 pounds. and that all maple sugar pro
ducers shall file with the commissioner Of
internal revenue, prior TO Jan LIST of each
