RECIPROCITY, AND WHAT IT MEANS.

President DIAz, of Mexico, has Just re-
cal commercial treaty with this country.
and resume of new tariff approved by
that functionary has been published. 1t
lowers the duties on wooden goods, cloth
ing, underwear, gloves, carpets, and other
articles on which the United States puts 3
high tariff, andincreases them on preserved
fruits, Virginia leaf tobacco, crude petro-
leum, soaps, furniture, jewelry. etc.
Briefly, it is hostile to our people and re-
taliatory, made so purposely perhaps to
afford the basis of Cancellation and com
promise. The absolute protective organs
will oppose it, but Mr.. BLAINE will see in it
an opportunity Tor the furtherance of the
reciprocity idea. For it becomes more and
more apparent that the secretary wishes to
accomplish his plans for the benefit of the
northeast under the flag of limited free
trade. We say limited, because he is care
full TO confine his free trade expert
ments to the countries of Central and
South America. What he proposes is a
free interchange between our country and
some eighteen or twenty others on this
hemisphere. He wants a commercial
system between the United States and all
those countries, Canada excepted, under
which all our products shall be admitted
into their ports free of duty, and all their
products admitted free into ours
This is not only free trade, but il ia
British free trade" the very system now
prevailing between those countries and
Great Britain, and through which Great
Britain enjoys one-half their commerce
and we about one tenth. When the reci-
procity amendment was presented in the
Senate last winter, Mr.. SHERMAN casually
remarked that If any reciprocity trade ar
rangements were made with any country
they ought to be made with Canada.
especially as to COAL whereupon Mr.. HALE
replied:
Reciprocity with the people south of the
United States, and the people north of the
United States were of very different breeds.
Reciprocity with Canada involved the free
entrance into the American markets of the
products of Canadian fisheries, Canadian
fields, Canadian mines and Canadian forests.
That was a reciprocity with which he would
have no part or parcel.
Canada has an area nearly as large as
ours. Its people speak our own tongue.
are intelligent and enterprising and have
almost the same habits as ourselves. Why
then should it alone, of all American coun-
tries, be excluded from the friendly rela-
tons which reciprocity proposes to bring

CONGRESSIONAL OPINIONS.

The New York Mail and Express has been
interviewing q score or more of the
Influential members Of the Congress which
viii convene In December and devotes a
page in q recent issue to the publication of
their ideas and opinions on matters which
will be prominent before the public during
the coming year. Democrats and Repubh-
cans are given an equal "show' in the
symposium, but as the latter will cut a
very small figure in Congress it is hardly
worth while to repeat what Coneressmeu
OF the Republican faith say on any cues
ton Just now. Democrats will rule and we
may gather from the opinions expressed by
some of the leading members of the party
in what direction their rule will run.
One Of the brightest men in Congress is
AMOS ]. CUMMINGS, who has long
represented New York city district. He
can probably go to Congress just as long as
he wants to, and when he tires of making
laws he can return to the staff of the Sun.
where for many years he was bright
light in that brilliant aggregation. Mr..
CUMMINGS says he is opposed to the
Farmers Alliance sub-treasury scheme.
and equally so to Senator STANFoRD's bill
fer loaning government money to farmers
at low rate of interest. He also says:
''Silver should have as free coinage as
gold.'' This means much, coming from
New York city Democrat, and one who
yields the influence in Congress and the
press which is exercised by Mr.. CUMMINGS.

THE CLEARINGS AND POLITICS.

Nothing quite so cool as the Iribune's
lugglery with the Salt Lake clearing house
returns has waited over from that direc-
ton since the 5th of November last.
1t will be remembered that the Liberal
organ all through the month of July howled
like dervish that a Democratic victory
meant dire ruin for the business of the CITY.
and 1t tried hard to prove by fictitious let
tiers and by other dishonest means, that
capital was getting ready to withdraw its
investments from here unless the party of
CLUTE and STANTON carried the election.
The Tribune frightened workmen into the
belief that in the event of Democratic vic
tory there would be no work for them to do
ana 1t scared business men at the same
time by trying to impair the credit of the
city abroad. a more reckless campaign
than that carried on by our morning con-
temporary was never waged. Rather than
lose It's hold upon few offices it warned
the country to keep away from Salt Lake,
as her material interests were in immediate
jeopardy from the ascendancy in Utah of
one of the national parties.
That is pretty organ to lecture TIE
HERALD now upon its devotion to Salt
Lake. But all its cool effrontery does not
alter the fact that this city, notwitbstand-
ing the accession recently made of four
banks to the clearing house, is ct the tail
end of the procession, and makes the poor
est showing of all her contemporaries, in
the clearing house.returns. This is q mat
ter OF record which nothing that any paper
might say can change or explain away.
THE HERALD does not invent bugaboos to
cause the people needless fright for politi-
cal purpose, but it does not shirk from an
analysis of the facts when it comes to con-
front them. That is the difference between
The HERALD and the Tribune.
In this case we believe that the confirma-
ton in the last election of the Liberal party
in this city, with all lis record of extrava-
gance, exorbitant taxation and CLUrEIsM,
has scared capitalists away who under 9
prudent and yet progressive Democratic
administration would have sought invest
ment here.
The sneering comparison between Salt
Lake and New Y ork does not compare No
BODY In his right senses would think oil
comparing the two cities otherwise than
relatively. And as for towns in Utah which
have gone Democratic, we believe they dc
show the revivifying effect of that achieve
ment and if 1t is not as marked as we would
wish it TO be it is simply because the potent
influence of the chief and capital city in the
same direction is wanting.

PATRIOTISM WITH A STRING

The Iren Agc has report from Pittsburg
that at recent meeting of the fruit jar
manufacturers an increase of so per cent
IN the price of fruit jars was decided upon,
and news from another quarter says that
tin cans have advanced from the high
price they were held at before; all on &C
count of the heavy fruit crop. This re-
minds us of what Senator DAWES, of
Massachusetts, said when last winter he
spoke in favor of doubling the duty on tin
plate. In rhapsody OF patriotism he de-
clared that 1.-THE American laborer would
rather pay one-half q cent more for tin can
bearing the stamp Of the American eagle
than one-h half a cent less for one bearing
the stamp of the British lion.''
1t is in this way that the protection patri-
OTIS are in the habit of appealing to Ameri-
can pride and American sentiment to carry
their point. a reference 10 'iBritish gold"
is always considered socdolager when
affixed to revenue reform, an opponent of
the protection policy being popularity sup
posed to swagger around with English
guineas rafting in all his pockets as the
agent of british free trade.n The stamp
Of the British lion on salt to cure Massa-
chusetts Goldfish, or the stamp of the Argen-
tine republic on hides that make leather
for Massachusetts shoemakers, or the
stamp of the British lion on cheap Austria
liam wool, or the same stamp on cheap No
via Scotia coal, doesn't frighten the pro-
tectionist, nor does British gold itself in
place of American silver. What symbol of
American patriotism is there in glass or
tin that it should be so sacred?

length whilst seeking to embrace the Costa
Ricans the Haytiens and the Patagonians?
But the New England fishery masters and
the saw-mill owners of Maine, New York,
Pennsylvania, ETC., will not permit Canada
TO be included with her cod, mackerel an
paddock, and her abundance of cheap lum-
Der. If we had reciprocal trade with Can
ada the price OF lumber would be cheapened
one-fourth. But this is reciprocity of a
different breed" from the one desired by
BLAINE, HALE & Co. Why should they,
being exemplary advocates of the policy of
protection, suddenly become so enamored
OF the free trade with the semi civilized
people Of Central and South America,
whilst they deny to their countrymen
the advantages of free trade with
Canada and the enlightened and advanced
nations of Europe3 The answer to this
question reveals the sectional selfshness of
the favored northeast. The Central and
South American countries have little or
nothing to send US that would compete with
the products of northeastern industries,
but they would send US great deal that
would compete with western farmers. such

and grain. The northeast needs cheap
wool and hides for their factories, and they
want free markets for the articles manu-
featured from them. The countries of
Central and South America are agricul-
tural, and whatever particular disadvan-
tages might attend from trade with these
would fall upon our farming interests.
Ii we are to have reciprocity in the
interest of northeastern manufacturers,
why not have little of it in the interest of
western peoples Why not extend it to those
countries Of Europe that take 30 much of
our farm products and would take more if
they had the chance: If reciprocity with
Mexico, Brazil, Cuba and the Argentine
republic are so advantageous to US, why
should we not infer that reciprocity with
Canada and Great Britain would be equally
SO!
1t is well, then, that the people should
understand the Republican reciprocity plan
thoroughly. Its inventors, promoters and
chief advocates are protectionists. through
and through. They are supporters of the
policy which has given to the manufactur-
ing states one half the wealth of the entire
union, and which does not propose to relax
its oppression of the producers

BLAINE AND HIS AMBITION.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial- Gazette, in long communication
dated from New YORK, gives calm. clear.
conservative expression of the situation as
to MIR. BLAINE, his ambitions, his views
and his purposes. The article bears evil
dence of careful consideration, and appears
to have been revised by Mr.. BLAINE him
self. From it, it seems that BLA1NE's
nomination for President was three times
defeated by Roscoe CoNKLING. Mr. CoNK-
LING being dead, is the only fact, says the
writer, ''that will perhaps reconcile Mr..
BLAINE to accept the decree of his party
and once again take the presidential nom
nation" Reference is then made to the
reciprocity policy as having advanced his
popularity. The correspondent alIudes
to the embarrassment felt by the
Maine man in view of his relations
with the President, saying the latter gentle
man above all others knows the truth of
the situation. He then declares absolutely
that Mr.. BLAINE does not want the Presi-
dency, but i $ engrossed solely with the
| 'work of extending the influence of his
country throughout the continent of North
and South America A spontaneous ex
preston of peculiar sentiment, mot
created by political leaders" would be pro
foundry agreeable to him as a rebuke to
''those who appear to have thought that
assassination of MIR. BLAINEs health
would be the speediest way of killing him
off politically And then follows this
significant remark:

should it appear inexpedient for Mr.. BLAINE to
accept the nomination himself, it will be in the
power of his friends to renew Mr.. HARRISON

AS TO IRRIGATION.

The census returns show that the aver
age annual value Of products of irrigated
farms in Wyoming is sS.25 per acre, while
IN Utah the average value is S1S.O3. This
is explained by The fact that the farms are
much larger in Wyoming than 70 this ter
ritory, the average size of irrigated farms
there being ll9 acres, while here it is only
81 acres. OF the three territories-Ari-
IONA, New Mexico and Utah-and the only
yoming-comprising the arid sec
ton in which irrigation has been developed
most, Utah makes the best showing by "a
large majority" as TO the land irrigated,
the number of irriCators, the first cost of
water right per acre, average annual cost
of water per acre, and so on. The follow
ing table makes a showing altogether in
favor of Utah:
