ing were it not for the fact that the prosperity of this country for some years to come is involved theTein Thi, is the way Senator EdnundS paid his respects to MT. Blame idea: "A. to reciprocity with Gen. tral and south America tue demand of country for commodities does not depend as much upon numbers as upon the state of its society, Us wealth and it's civilization. When l look at any Central American or South American State. l think that any one hundred average people III North America have, during the last year. consumed more of the products, merchandise, food and clothing, that go to make up the comfort, luxury and happiness of mankind than any one thousand average people III the Central or South American States. Therefore, the expectation of the United States being able to dispose of large increase of it's products there, is. in my opinion, one of the greatest illusions that brilliant men or sober statesmen nave fallen into. Senator sherman in advocating hls Canadian reciprocity amendment was equally emphatic in condemning tine Blaine idea. Ii Is not that these gentlemen have anything specially against reciprocity, but they hate Blaine in fact, the Republican Sen ators all seem to hate each other any way, Of course the reciprocity amendment will be adopted when the time comes to vote, and I'Il bct q horse cake that both Edmunds and Sherman vote for it

Mg Saver, also pre- sen. ed a detailed -.atcmcnt moving that nearly syy.0Jyo0g viii be nee essary to meet the deficiencies If the present fiscal year. All of which shows that if the United States was compelled on the 3oth of next June to l@y all of its floating indebted- ness. it could not doit uotWlthstand- ing the enormous surplus of cash which the Democratic Admni,lra- ton turned over to the Republicans on March |, l36g.
 Speaker Reed got so frightened over the reports from hi. district that he took off his silk sash and russct shoes and started for home this week Senator German laughed when he saw the detailed accounts which certain Republican papers gave of hi, going to Maine to carry money to beat Reed As a matter of fact, Mir.
