BLAINE S CH4NGED VIEWS.

BLAINE CH4NGED VIEWS.
That Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity" idea
upsets all of his previous claims respect
ing the tariff the Boston Post proves bv
quoting various utterances of the gentle
man himself. In the famous Paris inter.
view of December I, 1887, in reply to
the tariff reform MESSAGE OF President
Cleveland, Mr.. Blaine said:
Il should seriously object to the repeal
of the duty on wool. To repeal that
would work great injustice TO many inter.
ests and would seriously discourage what
we should earnestly encourage, namely,
the sheep culture among farmers through
out the Union. To break down wool
growing and be dependent on foreign
countries for the blankets under which we
sleep.and the coat that covers our back is
not a.wise policy for the national govern
ment to enforce"
Such was Mr.. Blaine's view OF the
question of Tree wool two years and a half
z and it was in accordance with this
view that the Republican platform was
drawn and that the Republican tariff bill
has been prepared. At that time also
Mr.. Blaine predicted hat the effect of
free wool upon our export trade. He
was asked if this trade would not increase
if Mr.. Cleveland's recommendations
were adopted, and he replied:
Possibly 10 some few articles OF pc
culiar construction it might, but it would
increase our import trade tenfold as much
In the great staple fabrics in wooden and
cotton goods. in iron, in steel, In all the
thousand and one shapes In which they
are wrought. The moment you
begin to import freely from Europe you
drive u own woTkmen from mechanical
and manufacturing pursuits. In the
same proportion they become tillers OF
the soil, increasing steadily the agricul-
tural product and decreasing steadily the
large home demand which is constantly
charging as home manufactures enlarge.
That, OF course, works great injury to the
farmer, Cutting the market with his
products and tending constantly to lower
prices. The enlarging of the
home market for the American farmer
being checked, he would search in vain
for one OF the same value"
The great change in Mr.. Blaine's ex-
pressed belief is shown by the picture
which he draws of the effects of free
trade upon the export business of the
United States and upon the '%'tillers of the
soil as he sees it under the new light
of today. In his letter which Mr., Harri-
son has sent to congress, Mr.. Blaine
writes:
THE increased exports would be
drawn alike from our farms, our factories,
and our forests. None of the Latin
American countries produce building
timber; the most of them are dependent
upon foreign markets for their bread
stuffs and provisions, and IN few is there
any opportunity or inclination for me-
chanical industry. The effect OF such
reciprocity would be felt in every portion
of the land.
This is all true but its truth was
equally evident at the time when Mr..
Blaine denied it and maintained the con-
trary. 1t is a sign of progress that he now
acknowledges the falsity and the humbug
of the home market" idea, which, more
more than any other one man, he aided
IN fastening upon his party.

scented TO lend Wichita a helping hand,
and will conduct the first Gospel meeting

main over Monday and deliver the Fifth

For over three years constant effort has
been put forth to secure the services of
Mr.. McPheeter, and the Y. NJ. c. A. should

CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS.
The Trade Much Better than Ever Before
Especially from Surrounding Towns
Entertainments this Evening
and Tomorrow.

Christmas is near at hand and especially
is the average kid aware of the fact. He
has kept an eye on the coming event for
many days. His father has often been
given gentle hint that a small amount OF
money could be placed with advantage in
his care. He sees many things In the
show windows he wants. He looks at them
with agony provided he is sure he won't
get the money TO buy it, but if he consid-
ers he has any chance in many TO get 1t.
According to the retail dealers many of the
kind fathers art complying with the re-
quests and giving their sons Of promise
some cash to satisfy their wishes in get
ting big ready for Christmas A well
known retailer who handles notions quite
extensively nowadays, said yesterday
that he had made more sales to children
this year than ever before. They were in
dustrious buyers and welcome customers.
They never failed to see some thing they
wanted and never failed to leave about all
the money they had on hand. The aver
age little boy and girl is getting ready for
a great time.
1t is also a matter of general
comment that the peope OF the
neighboring towns are doing more
shopping in Wichita than ever before.
The morning trains are almost suggestive
of circus day. They get off the trains by
the hundreds and scatter out in town for
business. The retail houses receive them
with heavy stocks and lot of the finest
Christmas goods ever witnessed in the
state. The holiday trade in full blast Is
by far better than ever before in the city,
and there is no apology to make for it, or
at least no one has been observed making
one The streets are crowded almost TO
the point of its being an unpleasing task
to get along.
Many of the societies and clubs have ar
ranged elaborate and delightful programs
for the Christmas entertainment. They
are getting ready to press the limit in
making the event one well improved and
long to be remembered The city schools

NO CANCERS IN SIGHT NOW.

Some time ago quite number of gentle
men in Wichita smoked cigars that cost at
the rate of three and four for one dollar,
but recently as a rule they have suspend
ed such action recalling that they might
start cancers to growing here and there
wherever the smoke might touch
them. The cancer danger, no doubt is the
cause of the change and many of the cigar
dealers not being posted on the cancer
family were somewhat embarrassed as
they were left with large stocks of the
cancer breeders on their hands. But it
appears that the cancer scare is over to

day with dignified accent to his step,

She wore hyacinths and beautiful set OF
diamonds, the gift OF the groom. and

and composure, while the groom looked
as restless as the average young man who
enters into a state of welded happiness.
The Young couple were the recipients Of
a number of beautiful presents which
showed their popularity among large
circle of friends, among whom were the
following:

CAPrAIN LOHN n. CAREY CALI.s.

Capt. John b. Carey called around yes
terday to talk over Wichita, over her
business prospects, and over her situation
financially and generally. The compli-
ments of the day being passed and the
weather compl.mented-and by the way,
the captain saws California cannot equal
the weather Kansas has had for the three
past months-the stringency of the money
market was taken up. The lack of conf
dence evinced everywhere Seemed to the
captain utterly illogical With more
money by many millions than there was
but year or two ago. millions were lock
ed up beyond the reach of the strongest
securities and undoubted collaterals.
There is, nor has been, any sense in the
universal distrust, and he believes that
very short time, probably but few days,
will see the boarded millions of
the money centers being poured
out and hunting investments in
every line of trade and OF speculation.
As for Wichita and her immediate future
the captain has all the faith that he ever
had. She has made every necessary inn
provement rs a city. and stands with every
sail spread, ready to catch the first breeze
of returning prosperity, when every inter-
est will be doubled and qusdrupled. Man

evening in making the run TO Fifteenth

very much; there was no doubt about it.
He was not scared, but simply warmed up
to the situation and determined to keep
up with the band wagon. He succeeded
very well and kept in the middle of the
street all the time, slowing up and making
graceful corners. He was dandy and his
action were no reflection on his intelligence
and general behavior.
