REc1pRoc1rr AND FREE TRADE.
From the Kansas city Journal.

From the Kansas City Journal
'sAIr. Blaine saws reciprocity Is no
more strange" remarks the Courier
Journal, ethan for a Starke county
farmer to bring 100 bushels of wheat 10
Canton, get his money for it, buy sup
plies for his family and go back home.
Well, that is free trade"
Not exactly. Free trade does not in
volve the necessity of purchasing his
supplies in the same place where the
farmer found the market for his pro-
duce. Having obtain the money for his
grain from the Canton mills, he might
drive to a rival market town and there
purchase his supplies.
Reciprocity demands quid pro quo. II
is an exchange of benefits. Mexico, for
instance, has a commodity for which
there is good market In this country
and we have commodities which Mexico
needs, but which she can get quite as well
in England. Free trade would admit the
Mexican commodity free of duty with
out any agreement that the American
commodity should be treated with like
favor by Mexico; while it is quite posi-
BILE TO conceive that the same commodity
produced in England might have free
Reciprocity has been likened to club,
wherewith to force concessions from
other nations. Insofar as club is a
persuader. this is true. 1t offers an over
towering inducement having almost the
force of command. In order to secure
free entrance into this market for GER
tain commodities other nations will glad
ly grant similar privileges, and the
United States need never get the worst
of the bargain.
The free traders would like to con-
vince the people that free trade and
reciprocity are identical in principle, If
not in extent. for Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity
proposition struck popular chord. But
they are not identical. In the one case
we give something and take our chances
of getting return. In the other case
the return is bargained for before we
give anything, which is much more bust

have to pay rent with nothing to show
for this expenditure, here, by very small
installments, in the course of time he
may become a house-owner. For Ger
many this plan is especially valuable,
since Social sts and Anarchists are not to
be found as general thing among those
who own their homes. And if owners
of homes make the best and most con-
sentative citizens, this plan is a good one
for this country, to be undertaken, not
by the government, as some people of
certain political following would have
it, for it is too great an extension of
power to those ruling. but by philan-
thropic private capitalists.

Oh, RATSl

The Prohibition state central commit
tee have sown broadcast throughout the
western counties a circular charging
Hallowell with hypocrisy, with violating
his oath of office and so forth and so
forth. The circular is the thinnest effort
we ever encountered in political cam
paign. 1t quotes Botkins political organ,
the Western Methodist" to prove that
Hallowell is hypocrite because he fails
TO practice what he breaches, as pro-
hibitiOnist. That seems a pretty serious
charge. There are today in Kansas at
least three thousand officials. state,
county and township, who were all
elected as prohibition Republicans, and
on prohibition platforms, and so far as
our knowledge goes not two out
of every ten personally pretend
that they are practical prohibitionists,
and we do not except in this category
United States senators, congressman,
state officers, state senators, representa-
tives, judges, sheriffs or any other class
of officials. If the people of Kansas or
the Republican party of Kansas should
refuse TO support such Republicans
whose practice didn't come up to the
mark of their preaching on this prohibl-
tory law, Kansas after the next election
wouldn't have any of its prominent men
left in Office. The idea of trying 10
down Hallowell on so old a gag as that,
Why didn't the committee include in its
circular nine-tenths of all the names
found on all the tickets, to whom it
would have been just as applicable as to
Hallowell?

A correspondent of the Newton Re
publican furnishes that paper with a
guess at the result of the congressional
election next Tues lay by states, with the
following summary: The total is 40
Republican and 1872 Democrats, giving
the Republicans a majority of eight.
The Democrats gain twenty-three mem
bers and the Republicans twelve, a net
Democratic grain of eleven. In my es-
innate | counted all Farmers Alliance
men who are liable to be elected with
the Democrats, except Reeder of Illinois,
who will vote with the Republicans if
elected. The result will find the two
parties nearly equally balanced, and a
change of a few votes in three or four
districts may completely upset all al
culations." We trust the margin of
difference between the two leading
parties will not be any closer than the
figures given.

THE UNION PACIFIC RAILWAY
EXTE SION.

For ten years past this city and its
active business men have been trying to
get the Union Pacific railway from Nc
Pherson in to this city. All of the other
great lines of railway in Kansas center
here. From this point they radiate in
all directions like the spokes from hub.
Our people have long desired direct
connection with the only great Kansas
line crossing Kansas which is not fed by
the business of this great city and county.
A most important railway proposition
will be before the voters of this city on
election day. The proposition is plain,
straightforward and business like. The
bonds can only be delivered when a de-
pot costing not less than s., 900 is built
in this city and the railway constructed
and in operation from connection with
the Union Pacific railway in Mcpherson
county to this city. The proposition has
the sanction of the business men and
taxpayers of this city and should be car
ried by handsome vote.

Some of Simpsons supporters and adj

of the district for alleged ridicule and
denunciation of their beau ideal, unmind-
full of the fact that the severest and most
compromising allegations, by implica-

are made by themselves. For instance,
some of them invariably speak of him as
Honest Jerry, as though his honesty
had been impeached. heseimputations
by his friends are the only ones against
his integrity that we have heard.

THAT DEAD Roos TER AGAIN.

A prominent southern Kansas man
who has served in the Kansas legislature,
and who is an Alliance man, writes US
letter admitting the truthfulness of our
editorial headed 1.-The Dead Rooster and
Jackass procession" but complains of
the EAGLES abuse of Jerry. In truth,
outside of poking fun at Jerry, the
EAGLE has been very careful of the feel
ings of his friends We have said that
he is unfit to represent this great district
in congress, and we meant it, but we
have applied no unseemly or mean
epithets. In order to get even with him
and his friends for that dead rooster"
episode on the EAGLE we would have to
hoist dead skunk on pole and label it
THE Dog Catcher of Medicine Lodge"
but we shall do no such thing. We can
stand the dead rooster racket and refrain
from the skunk parade, but at the same
time we shall not promise to withhold
few words of wholesome advice to the
Alliance whenever we think they need it.

UNREAsoNABLE CALCULATION.

President Polk, of the National Farm
ers' Alliance, has just completed a can
vaSs of the states of Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois.
He reports the growth of the Alliance In
the west as unprecedented. He says
that Alliances have been organized in
thirty-fve states, numbering in all a.
600 lodges and embracing a membership
of 2,000,00 He expects this aggregate
Will be increased 100000 within the next
year. Mr.. Folks expectation may be
realized, but if it is it will be because the
Alliance shall have dropped politics
meantime. There is no occasion and no
place for another political party in this
country unless one of the old national
parties goes to pieces, and there is no dan
ger of that. The Greenback party made
a great flourish for a brief season; it has
long been a reIhiniscence, The grange
performed the Jonah's gourd act mag
nificently: it had the briefest career, ac-
comprising absolutely nothing. And so
it will be with the current movement
under the guise of the Peoples party.

Estimates of the vote on the different

tickets respectively. The figures, when
