continent | on this hemisphere, were

our trade with those countries, the re-
fose, Il Sl42. 900 900, exceeding our gains

Whist we gain abroad we lose at home!
Then where do we most need reciproc-
ity? Certainly with our Southern neigh
bors. And where do we least need 1t?
With the Eastern continent. We can
also best afford reciprocity with our
Southern neighbors, for they need our
manufactures and compete but little
with Us.
Another cruel stab at the Democrats,
who have been petting him, is Blaine's
utter demolition of their "war tariff I"
argument. He says:
Blaire's idea is expansion of trade IN
thoce directions in which We most need
il and where we can best stand 1t, that
IS to say, South America. We most
need this expansion in that direction,
for, in our trade thither, we lose
enough annually to wipe out the bal
ance in our favor elsewhere and TO
leave us in arrears. Here is his show
ing for 1889:
'In that wear our whole exports to
all the countries IN the three continents
! OF Europe, Asia and Africa, and to
/ Australia, Canada and Hawaii amount
| ell in round numbers, to S65S 900, 900;
and our imports from all these coun-
\ tres amounted, IN round numbers, to
| S529 ,000, 900 showing that from that vast
trade we had balance of Si29, ,0O0, 600
IN our favor, equivalent TO tina: amount
OF gold among our people. But when
7 all the amounts were closed, instead OF
I having Sl29 900, 900 III our favor we had
balance of SIS 600, 900 against us.
"You have heard a great deal said
| within the past ten years by our demo-
! cratic friends about the iniquity of the
! Republican party keeping up the war
| tariff. As a matter of fact the war tar
! If has not been kept up, but has been
/ amended over and over again until the
revision OF 1888 left scarcely trace OF
the tariff that was IN operation during
/ the war and for few years afterwards.
During the war we were cOmnelled to
tax almost everything IN the air, in the
water, on .the eartn and under the
earth. The necessities of the govern
ment we're so great that we could allow
scarcely anything 10 be imported with
ont paying tribute, and | thing no
patriotic man can dehy that that was a
wise policy. We were not then study
ing the philosophy of trade relations,
but how 20 save the life of the nation.
Money was the primal necessity, and
we seized wherever we could reach II

years p great change has been made.

abolished that in the fiscal year ending
I June 30. 1890, the articles admitted free

Of all the imports. To be exact, the

The death blow TO the Democratic
claim that Blaine's reciprocity u SIMPLY
free trade AMI nothing more Is dealt
by his explanation Of what reciprocity
really Is. He defines It thus.
