MORE STAGE PLAY.

OF all the bills enacted into law by
the present congress not one is so far
reaching and arbitrary in character as
the meat inspection bill passed q few
days ago. One purpose OF it is to re-
move by inspection of meat to be ex
ported all cause for pretense among for
eigners that American meat is tainted o T
impure. They are deprived by the law
of any right on that score to impose re-
strictions and enact prohibitory legisla-
ton against the American hog. It puts
Uncle Sam in the attitude OF one saying
to France and Germany, "See
here messsurs, you have no
right to object to my hog meat
any longer. l have corps of inspectors
stationed at all my ports Of entry who
see to it that nothing but perfectly sound
aud healthy meat goes out. You have
no longer any excuse for closing your
ports against 1t. You will therefore
all the pork we can sell to your people,
or If you do not'-then what?
Yes, then what? Right here is where
this precious bill gets down to business.
1t provides that where any nation per-
sists IN closing its ports against our
meats, the president shall have the
power to do wha t? To declare an
embargo against the importation OF
any or all of the product
of said nation, such prohibition
to continue as long as the president
chooses, and to be altered, modified or
revoked at his discretion. Consequently
If France or Germany, which are both
protective tariff nations, do not repeal
that particular portion of their tariff
laws initiating against the American
hog, President Harrison is empowered t.
close our ports against them wholly or In
part, and continue the embargo indef-
nitely or until they give in. How is that
for retaliation and bulldozing threats2
To say nothing of the unexampled and
arbitrary power which it places in the
hands of the president-a power over
commerce that is absolute. and beyond
the reach of congress itself, save in case
Of war-what are we to think of it as an
smanatlon from the party of protection?
What are we to think Of the high priests
Of protection saying to Europe. "Away
with your protection! We want a market |
for our meat, and demand that you let |
Down the bars.'' Is it not brave and |
consistent? What Is the need for ship |
Iubsidies, or for reciprocity, il that sort |
If bulldozing can be made effective, |
4 foreigners can be coerced so
EASILY into opening their mar
,ets for our food products. why
nay they not be pursuaded in
ike manner to remove all restrictions OF
whatever sort against everything Ameri-
AN? II We can gam anything by hector
ng, let US out Herod Herod by sweeping
way all imp diments TO foreign trads.
1t is grand scheme worthy of the ag-
.regation of demagogues that framed
md enacted it for the purpose of delud-
ng the humble granger. At the Tery
'est it is only stage play, as empty and
follow as 1t is puerile aud disgusting.

quarters. In the province OF Ontario,
Canada, and In Nova Scotia the yield is
abundant, but duty OF fifteen cents
must be now paid to get them over the
line and twenty-five cents per bushel If the
Mckinley bill passes. The tariff and the
drouth ara com mining to make healthy
food scarce and costly, when for the
poor man 1t ought to be abundant and
cheap.

TIE manner of killur seal. hv

THE manner OF killing seals by the
poachers who visit the Behrlug sea
means the complete discrimination Of
that valuable fur-bearing animal.
Nearly all killed are females, ana their
young are left to die. Not one in six
which are shot are secured. The 16, 900
taken by poaohsrs up to July l, this
year, means 100, 200 females killed with
as many young ones. That lavish and
reckless work means speedy extsrInins-

Mr.. Blaine's Reciprocity Proposition
Strikes Responsive Chord
in The Breasts of
VERY MANY MEN In PITTSBURG.
Merchants, Manufacturers, Preachers, City
officials and All Kinds Of
Business Men
THINK THE IDEA AN EXCELLENT ONE.
Ii is Considered Way 10 Extend the Market and
Secure Profitable Trade.

Secretary Blaine's proposition to add an
ameRdatory or supplementary clause to the
tariff bill for the creation of reciprocal COM
mercial relations between South America
and the United States, is receiving such at
tention throughout the country as the i'm
portance of the subject deserves. In many
Eastern cities the Boards Of Trade
have circulated petitions addressed to
members in Congress in favor of the
plan, and judging by the number of sigma
lures obtained, and the rapidity with which
they have been signed, the scheme seems to
meet with very general approval Nothing
of the kind has been placed on foot in this
city, and The DISPATCH, recognizing the
influence which public sentiment commands,
has obtained the views of a number OF
leading and representative citizens on the
matter.
The general opinion set forth in the fol-
lowing is altogether in favor Of Mr.. Blaine's
proposition, and but few dissentients to
the policy are found. The latter, while
dissenting, are unable to give any salts
factory reasons against the measure, and the
former in concurring, give expression to
some cogent reasons for its adoption. That
a reciprocal policy allied to the tariff bill
would serve the best interest of the country
is the general sentiment expressed in the
interviews which follow:
