Senator Morrill, talks.


High as our custom duties NAV an
pear to be, they have not and will not
shut out the foreign; merchandise OF
nations where labor commands much
less wages than it does. in America,
nor will they shut out the fact that
our American people never obtained
general. merchandise at less cost. The
lll-natured denunciations poured ont
upon manufacturers by our oratorical
Free-Traders indicates that they pre-
fer the prosperity of the foreign. man
ufacturer to that. of their own conn
trymen; and they would compel the
latter to, manufacture as cheaply as
any foreigner, pay no higher.wages. or
abandon their business: The real pur-
pose is to finally break down and de-
grade the present scale of wages of
the American nottingham through.

facturers Were destroyed, of course
the importers and foreign manufac
turers would prosper, though Ameri-
can citizens should have to quit their
trades and learn to raise their own
breadstuffs or starve. How much
would farmers be benefited, by a large
increase of their products with no in
crease of consumers?
The Mason County journal. [volume] (Shelton, W.T.) 1886-1927, 1890-10-03

The leverage that lifts up Protection
is not really the demand of the man
ufacturers, which might perhaps be
disregar,led, but it is that of workmen
who must be paid the American rate
OF wages, or their employers must
abandon their business. Even the
Democratic national platform of 1888
declared that "our established domes-
tic industries" We're not To be endan-
gered, and that the revision of the
Tariff should be done with "due allow
ance for the difference between the
wages of American and foreign labor"
This discussion thus far does not show
that any Democratic Senator has the
slightest sympathy or regard for the
doctrine set forth in their own plat
form, and yet the facts remain that
there are such industries and such
difference of wages. Wherever they
see protection they strike at it with a

Our exports to Canada in 1856 were
500 1928, 676. but under the operation
Of reciprocity then commenced they
dwindled in twelve years down to $15,-
243,S34, while the exports of Canada
to the United States increased from
$12,182,314 to $46,199,47O. When the
treaty began the balance of trade
had been SIS 100000 annually in our
favor, and hat paid i'll specie, but at
the end the balance against us to be
paid in specie in single year was $780,
OO0,O0O. Here WAS yearly positive
loss of over five millions of our ex-
port trade and loss of thirty-eight
millions of specie, all going to enrich
the Canadas at our expense The
Canadian reciprocity treaty demon
strated, moreover, the prolitlessness of
reciprocity treaties with countries
whose products of exchange are
chiefly agricultural, and which we do
not want. They have little or moth
ing else for portation.-A merican

Blainc's Reciprocity.

Some of the papers have lately been
sneeringly accusing BlAine OF free
trade heresy. He is sound on the
tariff question as he is on nearly every
thing else. In II wurdy controversy on
the Behring sea dispute he has shown
his diplomatic superiority over Eng
lands prime minister, and in the let
ter to Senator Frye ON the 26th. he
demonstrates his thorough knowledge
of reciprocity, and at the same time
eXplodes the notiou that he is free
trader. In that letter he insists that
while we shnnl.l let in certain pro-
ducts of other com ries free we should

equal footing. Hear the ring of the
statesman in the closing paragraph OF
his letter:

Registration.


A case has come to our knowledge
wherein a man who had taken, out his
"hrst papers," registered in this. pre-
clnct, and there are probably other
cases of the same nature. The Terri
torial law permitted such persons to
vote, but the new state law demands
that all voters shall be full-fedged
citizens. Persons who have registered
and have not taken ont their final pa
pers of citizenship, should either have
their certificates cancelled or get out
the necessary papers. There are
many men in the various camps. who
are laboring nnder this disability and
cannot vote this year.
The registration law serves a good
purpose, in removing the decision of
such questions as to the, qualification
OF voters from the heat of election
day, and gives time for the calm de-
cision on these points apart from party
influences. The, P.-I. says that one
intricate point was brought out in Sc
attic. An applicant said that he was
born in England. but that his mother
secured divorce from his father. and
during his minority removed to Amer
lea, and married an American citizen.
He claimed to be a citizen by virtue
of his mothers marriage to an Amer
lcan. A lawyer was summoned to
solve the doubt, and he produced \
decision of the United States supreme
court that, in such case, the moth
er's marriage to an American natural
lied her minor children by foreign
first husband
