Reciprocity Not Free Trade.

y The Harrisburg Patriot says that
Tn Inquirer, in indorsipg Mr. Blaine's
idea of reciprocity in trade with South
America, has taken somersault from
the protection pedestal. Nothing Of
the kind. Right here it may be well
to say that the free trade organs are
making big mistake in looking upon
this proposition as step towards the
adoption of their pet theory. What
is proposed is an exchange of articles
produced in this country aud not pro.
duced in South America tor articles
produced In South America and not
produced in the United States. This
is tue rule which it is intended should
govern our trade with South America.
The insignificant exceptions to it that
may be found do not change 1t. There
is no proposition to open our markets
to the manufacturers of Europe, or to
bring American workingmen down to
the wages Of European laborers. Ex.
change of trade with South America
is the protection idea, which is to look
out for ourselves, to improve the cou.
dition of the whole people. The free
trade idea is to improve the condition
of few at the expense of the many.
Moreover, as Secretary Blaine so
clearly pointed out in his letter of
July IL to Senator Frye, it is the
almost total absence of protection
against South American importations
which has thrown away the opportuni.
ty to make market in that country
for our breadstuffs. No argument
could SAVIOR more of protection than
Secretary Blaine's claim that the West
Indies should not be permitted to dis.
pose of one. half of their sugar product
in the United States while the Spanish
duties run up the price of American
flour in the Cuban market to S11.46
per barrel.
The Patriot and the other free trade
organs which are claiming Mr.. Blaine's
letter as step towards free trade are
befuddled. They are deceived by a
name. Words are more than facts to
them, trouble which is constitutional
with American free traders.-Phila.

THE Philadelphia Times wants the
Republican Congressmen representing
that city defeated because they have
not secured couple of millions fol
League Island, and other millions for
a new mint. But in view of the fear
so frequently expressed by the Times
that the Nation is soon to become
bankrupt, why this anxiety to have
Philadelphia share in bringing about
the calamity ?-Harrisburg Telegraph

WHETHER adopted by Congress or
not, Secretary Blaine's reciprocity
ideas have touched the popular heart
of the American people, and some of
those jealous Congressman will wake
up some morning to find the great
statesman in the Presidential chair,
despite their petty efforts to keep him
in the back ground.

The money, coin and paper, in this

thing over 81, 900, 100000, or over $50
each for every man, woman and child.
But it is not all in circulation. More
than One-third of it-one-half of all the
gold and three-fourths of all the silver
coin is in the vaults of the Treasury at
Washington, held as security for the
outstanding paper currency.
OF the total $4,000, 600, 900, a trife
more than half is gold and silver money,
and something less than half is paper.
Ut the total coin, about twO-thirdS is
gold and one third silver Of the paper
money, about one-third is greenbacks,
one-fourth silver certificates, one-sixth
gold certificates, one-fifth in notes of
the National banks, and the remainder
in various other forms. There is more
gold in circulation than any one kind of
paper money, but only one-fourth as
much gold as there is of all kinds OF
paper together. Of the paper in circu-
lation the greenback leads, then silver

THE INDEPENDENT FARMER.

How pleasant II seems to live on farm,
Where natures SO guadily dressed.
And sit meath the shade of the old locust tree,
AS the sun is just sinking to rest;
But not half so pleasant to hoe in the field
Where the witch grass Is six inches high,
With the hot scorching sun pouring down on
your back
Seems each moment as though you would
die.
Wis pleasant to sit in the cool porch door
While you smoke half-reclined at your ease,
Looking out DER your beautiful meadow OF
grass
That sways to and fro in the breeze;
But not quite so pleasant to start with your
scythe
Fer the morning sun smiles DER the land,
And work till your clothes are completely wet
through,
And blisters shall cover your hands.
In keeping dairy there's surely delight,
And it speaks OF contentment and plenty,
To see large stable well filled with choice
COWS,
Say numbering from fifteen to twenty;
And yet it seems hard when you've worked
from the dawn
Till the sun disappears from your sight,
To think Of the COWS you have yet got to milk
Before you retire for the night.
But, the task fairly over, you cheer up once
more,
And joyfully seek your repose,
To dream of the cream pots with luxury filled
And the milk pans in numberless rows;
But the sweet dream is broken when early next
day
You're politely requested to churn,
And for three weary hours, with strength ebb.
ing FAST
The crank you despondingly turn.
But in raising young pigs there is truly charm
When they sell at the present high price;
And OF all the young stock which farmer can
raise
There's nothing that looks half so nice.
How cheerful one feels as he leaves them at
night,
The encouraging lot OF eleven,
But his JOY slightly wanes when he goes out
next day
And Of live ones can count only seven.
But no one disputes that the farmer Is blessed
With true independence and labor,
Whose food don't depend on the whims OF man.
kind,
Like that of his mercantile neighbor.
For God in His mercy looks down from above
And paternaly gives him his bread,
Provided he works eighteen hours every day
And devotes only six to his bed.

early in my ife's journey are still with
me in the unchanged freshness and

kept company with me live on after

had been a sensitive film that photo

me, as if they had been recorded on
those unforgetting cylinders which
bring back to us the tones and accents
that have imprinted them, as the ex-

hardened sands. The melancholy of
old age has divine tenderness in it,
which only the sad experiences of life
can lend human soul. But there is
lower level-that of tranquil content
