MIR. Blaine on Reciprocity.

We publish on our outside form a let

and addressed to United States Senator
Frye, from Maine. 1t is a clear, sug

Congress and brings out in great perspic-
uity the necessity for careful prepare.
ton of the Tariff bill, in order to pre-
serve the principle of protection and its
benefits for our own country, as well as
the advantages of reciprocal trade with
the South American States. His propo-
sition is SO clearly stated, that the way
faring man, though a fool, need not erI
therein. The idea he advances and Sc
forcibly presents, will meet with almost
universal approval, and ought to be
interviewer with any legislation that
may be enacted affecting the tariff.
There has not been, within our re-
memberance, such condensed and
forcefnl statement of a question as the
letter of Mr.. Blaine, bringing out that OF
reciprocity. 1t stamps him as the great
leader of protection, as well as the
leader of the party that encourages and
protects protection, and the effect will
be far reaching and salutary

An object Lesson.

If the Republicans in Washington who
are anxious about passing the Lodge
Elections bill will turn their eyes to
Georgia, they will find an item or two
that will interest them. Judge John d.
Stewart a Democrat, represents one of
the districts of that State in Congress,
and was a candidate for denomination.
He was swept from the field by Mr..
Livingston, President of the Farmers
Alliance, who, in spite of the influence
of the triumvirate-Colquit Brown and
Gordon-will take Mr.. Stewards seat in
successful revolt against the old Demo
cratic machine, and the policy of the
Republicans is to help it, to the end that
old party lines may be broken and new
alignments made. In this way the Re-
publicans will have a chance. if not for
the offices, for more liberal legislation.
and change in the old order of things,
which could not possibly be worse than
it is. Pass the Lodge bill, and an
other phase will be given to the situa-
ton. The Democrats will be driven
together again-many Republicans will
vote with them against such a measure,
and the result will be that the old rings
will be re instated, and all hope for a
more liberal policy be dissipated.
1t will be a fatal blunder to pass the
Lodge bill, as it would give the most
prescriptive element of the Democratic
party in the South a new lease of power.

Resignation Of Capt. w. S. Lurty.
The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Times, of the 18th, gives the
following statement as to the resignation
of Capt. W. s. Lurty, as u S. Marshal
for the Territory of Oklahoma:
"Mr Warren S. Lurty, who ran on the
Malone State ticket of Virginia, in the
last contest for Attorney General, has as
founded all his political associates by
resigning "a good fat Office. When the
Territory of Oklahoma was organized
Mr.. Lurty applied for a position on the
territorial bench. He was not given
that, but was appointed United States
Marshal for Oklahoma. This was po-
sition much sought after. and Mr.. Lurty
promptly accepted. Last night Mr..
Lurty appeared in the lobby of the Met
ropolitan hotel and informed several
friends that he had come to Washington
to resign his position.
'"This morning Mr.. Lurty called at the
White House and saw the President
He informed the President that he had
formally rendered his resignation, as he
found the position entirely incompatible
with his inclinations. Mr.. Lurty thank
ed the President for the appointment,
assuring him that he fully appreciated
the honor, and was sure the President
intended to give him an Office acceptable
to him. He explained that the climate
was injurious to his wife's health, and
that as he would not live apart from his
family, he proposed to resign. The
President expressed regret that Mr.. Lur-
ty felt impelled to resign, as he had in
tended to give him good office. Mr.
Lurty also called upon the Attorney

were it not for the burdensome tariff taxation
to which he was subjected. Three quarters
of his speech was devoted to convincing his
hearers that they were being robbed for the
benefit OF manufacturers and other wicked
persons. In the slang of the day there was
very strong flavor of "chestnuts" about the
entire address. 1t is entirely unnecessary to
follow Mr.. Frank through his argument for
the simple reason that the major premise on
which 1t was based, namely, that the tariff is
tax and increases the price to the consumer
by just its amount, is false, and of course an
argument based upon false premise must
inevitably lead to false conclusion. Moth
ing has been more clearly demonstrated by
experience than that protective tariff In the
long run, does not enhance prices to the con-
sumner. Mr.. Frank must be familiar with
the history of the steel rail industry and he
must know that the effect of protection there
was to reduce the price by stimulating CON-
petition and the invention Of new methods.
And what is true of the steel rail industry is
true of almost every other industry that has
been stimulated by protection Almost

| the reasons that Mr.. Frank and his fellow
free traders or tariff reformers, as they pre-
for to call themselves. fail to made any i'm
preston upon them by lugubrious tales
like that he told at Alfred
In the last part Of his address Mr. Frank
INDUCED In little demagoguery, alleging that
the bondholder had been specially favored
by the government and that congressman
had unwarrantably increased their salaries
and those of the President and Vice Presi-
dent. This is old straw. 1t was thoroughly
threshed in the old greenback days, and Mr..
Frank did considerable of the threshing.
Most of the Democrats are ashamed Of their
performances during that period, and Mr..
Frank will get no thanks for refreshing their
| recollections In regard to them.
