THE oPPoRTUSIT

Finally, there is one fact that should
have great weight, especially with protec-
tionists. Every free-trader III the Senate
voted against the reciprocity provision.
The free-trado papers throughout the
country are showing determined hostility
to it. 1t is evident that the free-trade
senators and the free-trade papers have a
specific reason for their course. They
know and feel that with a system OF reel
procity established and growing their
policy of free trade receives a most serious
blow. The protectionist who opposes re-
ciprocity in the form in which it is now
presented knocks away one Of the strong
est supports of bis system. The enact
ment of reciprocity is the safeguard of
protection. The defeat of reciprocity Is
the opportunity of free trade.
Yours very respectfully,
JANIS G.. BLAINE.

TIE PROPOSED POLICY.

lido not mean in anything | have said to
imply that reciprocity Is only western
interest. As | remarked in note 10 Senator
FRYE. il will prove beneficial and prolita-
bic both to the farm and the shop. What,
for instance, could bemore natural or more
lust than That. III giving a free market in
the United States TO hides from the Argen-
tine Republic, we should ask the Argentine
Republic 10 give Il better market than we
now have for the products of leather from
the United States. The many forms In
which our business interests will be pro-
NOTED by reciprocity cannot be known
until the active commercial men Of the
United States shall have developed those
forms by investigation and experience.
We shall not realize the full benefit Of the
policy in day or IA year, but shall we,
therefore. throw away countless millions
of trade in addition TO the 100000, 900 we
have already thrown away, and then in
diGnantly declare without q trial that Z" the
system won't work"

OBJECT LESSON.

Another class observe that they want
time to study the system. To this might
reply that the best method of studying a
system is to observe its practical workings.
While studying in the abstract and re-
fusing TO take some object lessons these
gentlemen propose TO open the market 70
latln-American products free OF all charge
without asking Latin-AmerIca to give US
in turn some freedom in their markets.
The object lesson immediately before us IL
tho treatment of the sugar question. Shall
we make Latin-America a gait OF that
trade? When we have studied that lesson
we shall be prepared for the second.

sIrpFACr INDICATIONS.

Passing by the rarifed, ozonic atmos-
phere where no chlrp of bird or whlr OF
insect is heard, and the scenery that com
bines the verdure of the green hills OF
Vermont, the badness Of the Sierra Madre
of Mexico, and the capped peaks OF
the world-renowned Alps, / note that, as
in the vegetable kingdom, rare plants are
sometimes indicated by the proximity OF
common plants resembling these rarer
products so the precious metals in
these mountains are indicated by

human values, but for the greatest stlmu-
lation and expansion of all human works.

THE SUGAR QUESTION.

The worst proposition of all is put for
ward by those who say: d" Let us put sugar
on the free list now, and next year we will
take mp the subject of reciprocity" If |
understand their logic, 1t IS to make sugar
free this year without condition, and next
year TO ask Spain if she will not kindly
consent to grant US reciprocal trade Hold
ing the complete vantage ground ourselves,
ground to Spain. Instead Of granting a
favor to Spain to-day. we are to ask her for
favor tomorrow. Those who take this
ground belong to that class of careful
guardians of property who prepare very
strong lock for the stable after the horse Is
cone.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Fast Mail Presented for the
First Time at the fremont.
ture ruler.
From the Galveston News.

For play prolific Of sensational Incl
dents, Astounding in scenic effect and re-
plete with highly melodramatic situa.
tions, The Fast Mail is certainly high VI
in the pictures. The plot is exceedingly
commonplace, Ringing upon the trials
and hair breadth escapes Of the good
young man of the play, who is pursued
and bounded for crime he never com,
mitted, with the ubiquitous villain and
sleuth hound detective continually at his
heels and his faithful wife following him
through all of his vicisSitudes until the
denuement comes, when it is developed
that the good young man is innocent and
is suffering for other peoples crimes,
when all is forgiven and the curtain goes
down upon the vindicatiOn Of the innO-
cent and the punishment of the guilty.
Thus the moral is all right even though
evolved out of thTeadbare plot.
The action of the play is rapid enough,
and the development of the plot affords
opportunity for the introduction of good
deal of scenic effect, upon whiCh'the play
depends very largely for its success. With
a steamboat explosion, a railroad train,
Niagara falls and the suspension bridge,
all in one play, one can excuse the subor-
dination Of dramatic talent to mechanical
effect While the presentation of Nj
agara falls is something new and was
cleverly enough presented, the passage of
the freight train across the stage was the
most realistic effect produced and caught
the audience for liberal applause. Harry
Mack as Sam Sleuth, the detective. and
Miss Nina Gordon as Belvy Ann Sieuth
contributed the comedy vein that in a
measure relieved the play of its heavy
melodramatic features.
Those who like the sensational drama
will find in Fast Mail quite enough to
satisfy them. The play will be repro
duced for a matinee this afternoon and
presented for the last time tonight at the
Grand Opera house.

SOUTH AMERICAS BLIZZARD.
1t is Called the 'Pampero" and is Crate
fully Welcomed.

From the Cleveland Daily Herald
strange natural phenomenon is the PAM
pero, q South American storm wind. 1t is thus
described: A light breeze had been blowing
from the northeast, but had steadily increased
In force and brought with it the heated air Of
the tropics, which, passing over a treeiess
pampa country exposed to the burning sun
rays OF clear sky, 80 warns up the atmos-
phere on the shores of the Rio de la Plata that
its effect upon human beings is exceedingly
bad. This state of things generally lasts for q
week or longer, until the sitting heat becomes
unbearabie and the inhabitants are seen rest
ing in grass hammocks or lying on bare floors,
incapable of exertion. However, relief is close
at hand. Alittle cloud mo bigger than man 8
hand Is first seen to rise above the water then
the heavens grow black with clouds and the
battle OF opposing winds begins. The pampero
advances with Its artillery well in front; forked
flashes Of vivid lightning, followed by peals of
thunder, bear down upon the foe, who, quite
up to the moment of attack, is fercely dis
charging Its fiery breath on the surrounding
regions. The inhabitants now climb on the
azorteas or fiat roofs to watch the struggle
and to be the first to participate in the delicious
relief brought by the pampero to their fevered
bodies. Ear out on the river curious sight
may be seen, the opposing waves, raised by the
rival winds, meet like a rush of cavalry i'll wild
career; their white horses, with foaming crests,
dash themselves against each other and send
clouds of dazzling spray high in the air; this
being backed by an inky sky, renders the scene
more imposing. Gradually the northeastern
gives way, followed closely by its enemy, the
pampero, which throws out skirmishing cur
rents of ice-cold wind in advance of its final
onslaught. Then comes the roar of the eie-
ments and a deluge such as no one would will
ingly encounter, aud cooler weather is estab-
Lshed for the time being.
