WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-J. s. Clark
son, first assistant postmaster general,
practically concluded his service in the
postofice department to-day. The pres
ident much desired his further continu-
ance in the place, hut Clarkson was una
BILE to remain longer. 1t is stated Clark
son assumed the Office in March, 1889,
only at the strong persuasion Of the
president, republican national commit
tee and leading men Of the party, and
that he has remained in it against his
own wishes. Clarkson will very soon as
sumo the presidency of the Judson Pneu-
matte railway company. which applies
new PRINCIPLES to locomotion and to mo-
tive power in cities and which is now
building a railway in Washington city.
In his nearly eighteen months in Office,
Clarkson appointed 26,675 fourth-class
postmasters, and established $3.50 new
postotices, making his record 1886 in

VI UA0 'A16U oS616OdAUS Guu Ill
the presidential offices 2,217 ap-
pointments have been made
during Clarkson's official time, leaving
only 400 of that class of offices unchanged.
This is the largest record in changes and
in the establishment of offices ever made
in the same length of time. A striking
feature is the number of new offices es-
tablished. A department official speak
ing of this, said: I'm these Offices has
been illustrated Clarkson's broad policy
as an official. OF the new Offices created,
159 are in the New England states; ST. in
the middle states; 1856 in what is called
the nirthwest, extending from Ohio to
Dakota; 4S7 in the mountain and Pacific
coast states, and 1903, or over half of all,
in the southern states" The men most
prominently named as Clarkson's sue

that that was Q wise policy, We were
not then studying the philosophy of
trade relations, but how to save the life
OF the nation.
MONEY WAS A PRIMAL NECESSARY,
and we seized it whenever we could
reach it lawfully, but during the last
eighteen years a great change has been
made. So entirely has the wal tariff
been abolished, that in the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1889, the articles admit
ted free were considerable more than one
third of all imports. To be exact, i'm
ported articles that paid duty exceeded
$488,0O0,00 in value, and imported arti-
cles that paid no duty exceeded $250,0OO,
600 Ia value. The inevitable tendency
is, Lthink, toward increase of the free
list. Our great mistake was made when
we began to repeal the war duties on so
large an amount Of imports. Any duty
repealed was a favor and advantage to
the exporting country, and we have
asked nothing in return. Instead of
this course (Which, ] must say, was one
Of carelessness and wastefulness of both
political parties), every repeal of duty
should have been preceded by q most
thorough Investigation, and whenever it
was found practicable to export anything
from the United States, and thus
ESTABLISH RECIPROCAL TRADE,
it should have been done. I do not, of
course, intend to declare or to imply that
we could have secured the free admis-
sion of 1886, 100000 of American pro-
ducts into the countries whose products
we purchase annually to that amount.
The richer country cannot expect to get
complete reciprocity in amount from
countries less wealthy. But whatever
we should have received would have
been clear gain, as in all future repeal
of duties whatever we may be able to get
will be clear gain. It is not q question
of setting deliberately to work to estab-
lish reciprocal exchanges. But with all
duties we have thus far repealed, it has
been q question of whether we should
get something or get nothing. We have
chosen with our eyes shut to get nothing.
I hope, now, with our eyes open, that we
shall in the future choose to get some
thing" He did not think this policy of
reciprocity could be made to mean nlti-
mate free trade. Other speakers fol-
lowed.

and next spoke Of a system of reciproci-
ty, not in conflict with the protective
tariff, but supplementary thereto, and
presenting a field Of enterprise that will
richly repay the effort and energy of the
American people. We shall find it in
structive and valuable to examine into
the sources of our imports and the desti-
nation of our exports, and to strike q
balance between the two. Take last
year, 1889. In that year our whole 'ex.
ports to all countries in the three con-
tinents of Europe, Asia and Africa and
to Australia, Canada and Hawaii
amounted, in round numbers, to $685.
100000 and our imports from all those
countries amounted, in round numbers,
to $529,OOO.OOO, showing that from that
vast trade we had a balance of $129,0OO,-
600 III u favor, equivalent to that
amount of gold among our people. But
when all accounts are closed, instead of
having $4,000, 900 in our favor, we had
a balance Of $13,OO0,OOO against us for
our foreign trade. We must, therefore,
have lost $142, OOO,O 900 in our commerce
with countries outside of those to which
I have referred. Where could we have
found such
A LARGE ADVERSE BALANCE?
Let me tell you, we lost $41,OOO,OOO in
Cuba, from which our imports were $52,-
100000 and to which our exports were
only $11,00O,00O. Forty-one million is q
pretty large sum to lose in one island in
a single year. In the republic of Brazil
we lost $51, 100000. Our imports from
Brazil were $6O,OOO,OOO; our exports to
Brazil were 100000. In Mexico we
lost $10,OOO,OOO. Imports from Mexico
we're $21,000,OOO; our exports were $11,-
100000. To sum it all up, our imports
from the countries south of us, both in
sular and continental, on this hemis-.
| phere, were $216,OOO,0O0. The balance
against us in our trade with those coun.
tries, therefore, is $~142,OOO,OOO, exceed
ing our gains from all the rest Of the
world. By no figure of speech can we
PLATTER OURSELVES INTO THE BELIEF
that our trade with our American neigh
bors is in a prosperous condition. How
can this state Of affairs be remedied?
You have heard q great deal said within
the past ten years by our democratic
friends about the iniquity Of the repub-
lican party keeping up the war tariff.
Asa matter Of fact the wal tariff has not
been kept up, but has been amended over
and over again until the revision Of 1883
left scarcely any trace Of the actual tariff
that was in operation at the close Of the
war and for q few years afterwards.
During the wal we were compelled to tax
almost everything in air, in water, on
earth and under earth. The necessities
Of the government were go great that we
could allow scarcely anything to be inn
ported without paying tribute, and I
think that no patriotic man can deny

A Mastery Speech.

WArERv11LE, Me-, Aug. 29.-A public
mass meeting was held tonight, and af-
ter Governor Burleigh made a speech,
President A. W. Small of Colby univer-
sity, introduced as "the leader of the re-
publican party and the famous advocate
of an interesting and progressive protec-
tive tariff, Hon. James G. Blaine" In
regard to the national questions, Blaine
said: II wish to declare the opinion that
the United States has reached q point
where one Of the highest duties is to N
large the area of it's foreign trade. Un.
der the benifcent policy of protection we
have developeda volume of manufactures
which, in many departments, overruns
the demands of the home market. In
the field of agriculture, with the i'm
mense propulsion given in it by agricul-
tural implements, we a do far more
than produce breadstuffs and provisions
for own people; nor would it be am
bilious destiny for so great a country as
ours to manufacture only what We can
consume or to produce only what we can
eat. We are already, in many fabrics
and in many products, far beyond that,
and
OUR GREAT DEMAND
is expansion. I mean expansion of trade
with countries where we a find proita-
BILE exchanges. We are not seeking an
nexation of territory. Certainly we do
not desire it, unless it should come by
the v%olition of the people who might ask
the priceless boon of a place under the
flag of the Union. I feel sure that for a
long time to come the people Of the
United States will be wisely content
with our present area, and not launch
upon any scheme of annexation. At the
same time, I think we shouldbe unwisely
content if we did not seek to engage
in what Young Pitt so we'll termed
ANNEXATION OF TRADE
For nearly thirty years now the United
States has had the great advantage of a
protective tariff, by far the longest un-
broken period that it's industrial policy
has been in force since the federal gov
eminent was organized. Happily the
great majority of our people, without
strict regard to party lines, believe that
the results to the American people from
the protective policy has been incalcul-
able, aggregatlng in a quarter of a CEN
fury of national and individual wealth
beyond that ever dreamed of before in
history af the world". MI. Blaine then
briefly recited what he termed

that that was q WISE policy, We were

trade relations, but how to save the life
of the nation.

A True Ghost Story.

A certain young lady, while alone one
night in her room, whiled away the
hours by reading thrilling ghost story.
Page by page she became interested, and
the weird hour of midnight was passing
Needless to say she was nervous. What
young woman is there that, sitting en-
thralled by an exciting ghost story at
midnight and alone, wouldn't condescend
to become agitated at the proper mo-
ment? Strange coincidence, but at this
proper moment an eminently respecta-
BILE banjo that had long been in the
room had one string that couldn't stand
the strain longer, so just as the hour
hand was midway between 12 and
it broke with sharp report. Peo-
pie living four blocks away who were
awakened by female shrek that night
are sending in their condolences to the
fair young reader of the ghost story

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING THE
POPULAR STAR QUILT.

An Ancestral Pstticoat-Women Tramps.
Don't Like Female Lawysrs-sensibie
Summer Food-women Of Ready wit.
Proper washing Of an Infant.
The most popular quilt at present is
the star quilt. For materials get two
yards good quality domestic linen. quite
heavy. with smooth surface-a quality
worth about thirty-fve cents yard will
do nicely-three punches wash twist, one
bunch etching silk, two gross smallest
size brass rings, one five pointed star,
perforated pattern, to stamp with. Place
the linen on smooth surface and stamp
your star pattern over the surface Tor
you can get it done). being careful to
economic space, and yet leave room for
working.
After the stamping is done cut out the
star on the square,: that is, do not cut
the point out, but cut a square with the
star in the center, leaving about one
inch margin from the end of point OF
star; this Is for convenience in working
When the stars are all stamped and the
spudltS CUT Oul IiOI'Cu WIN tiic iduIy
work. With the wash twist work a
heavy buttonhole stitch around all the
points of the star, then with the same
silk fill each point with one of the filling
stitches, either fish net, brick, cross or
crows feet, or any other that is pre-
ferred; each star may have the same
filling stitch, or every star may be filled
differently.
Now for the center part Of the star;
crochet sufficient number of the brass
rings over with the etching silk and sew
them in circle TO the linen. After the
embroidery is done cut out all the linen
from the points of the star with pair
of sharp scissors. This will leave you
five pointed star. Thirty-six stars will
make quilt large enough, and they are
to be set together by points. This will
make the edges formed of the points
which finish with small silk tassel If
preferred, bolton sheeting and linen
hosses may be used.
The colors used are gold and white,
old rose and white, green and white, and
all white. The number of stars depends
on the size you make your stars, but
from thirty-six to sixty-four are enough.

Women Tramps.

Two female tramps have just reached
Luzerne county, their birthplace, after
being on the road for nearly three
months. They stan ted from Kansas
City, and the greater part of the distance
they travelled in cattle cars. They be-
came tramps through force of circum-
stances. They are sisters, and two years
ago married railroad men and went west
One Of the husbands died, and the other
who proved worthless fellow, soon
after disappeared The sisters now
found themselves in the midst of power
ty and among strangers. They could
not get along, and they pinned for their
old home in Pennsylvania, but could not
raise the money to pay their fares.
One evening they hit upon the novel
idea of dressing in male attire and
tramping home. They deliberated long,
and finally came to the conclusion that
this was the only way they could get
home. They accordingly made prepare
tons for the journey. They were well
up in the ways and doings of railroad
brakemen, as they had often heard their
husbands talk shop" One morning
early the sisters donned suits of clothes
that had been worn by their husbands.
They were black, greasy and dirty, and
in every way in keeping with tramp's
outfit. The women then cut their hair
short and greasened and blackened their
faces and hands and made their long
journey Philadelphia Ledger.
