RECIPROCITY AND THE MCKINLEY
BILL

The effect of the Mckinley bill and
the reciprocity policy of Secretary
Blaine are well set forth in the follow
ing from the Berlin Enport, the official
journal of the Centralverein for Ger
man interests abroad, has a lengthy
article about this question. 1t says:
Mr.. Blaine's diplomatic dexterity
has made Brazil real domain of the
North. European wishes and remon-
strances could not get a hearing in
Rio de JaneirO. The exporting coun
tries of Europe have lost vast, well
paying market territories. Sever
al months ago American diplomats
tried to convince Spain of the neces-
sity of signing treaty with the Unit
ed States by which Cuba and Porto
Rico would be protected against the
workings of the Mckinley law. The
Spanish Government put up many OBJ
stacles, but the Yankee was sure of
his victory in the end, and Spain, be-
ing afraid that Cuba may free herself
from the European yoke, yielded. Ac-
cording to the reciprocity treaty, su
gar, honey, cacOa, hides and coffee.
from Cuba and Porto Rico, may enter
free into the United States, while to-
bacco and iron ore have to pay the
duty laid down in the Mckinley law.
This shows that the United States let
in free only such articles as it can not
produce, or at least not in sufficient
quantity. Everything it does produce
itself is protected carefully. The
Yankees hold a weighty weapon in
their hands by which they will com
mercially conquer all Spanish Ameri-
ca. A gloomy prospect for the export
ing industries of Europe!
1t can not be denied that the people
of Cuba and Porto Rico received the
news of the signed treaty with joy
For them it meant cheaper living and
cheaper products, for which they had
to pay high prices to the mother coun-
try. But for the merchants and man
ufacturers of Spain things look differ
ent. It is calculated that they will lose
an export trade of at least So, 900, 900 a
year. The public opinion in Spain is
that after signing this treaty the moth
| er country can not much longer pre-
vent her American colonies from free
| ing themselves or from joining the
United States. Many believe the nat
ural result of the reciprocity treaty
will be the annexation of Cuba by
| Brother Jonathan. 1t will not be easy
| for the exporting countries to prevent
| the influence of the United States in
| Spanish America, and they will have
| to stand still with crossed arms and
see the exports of Europe diminishing
year by year.
! 1t will be different with the Europ-
can merchants who live in the West
Indies and South America, engaged in
| the importing business. They will take
up catalogues and samples from facto
| ries in Rhode Island, New Jersey, etc,
and send their orders to New York
L L
| Rio, Caracas and Havana, the agents
of European firms will have to hear
| the stereotyped answer:
9sI am sorry. Your article would
not pay any more. We get them from
| New York"

The erection or an observatory on

1t did not sadden me, for knew that
this deficiency would be made up by

than they have been paying. But it
all depends on whether the specula-

The divisions in the Farmers Ali
ance of Texas on the Sub Treasury
scheme are encouraging to the cause
of good government and to sound
economies. If light can be got into
the minds of the benighted men who
could look upon such a scheme as
either desirable or possible then there
is hope that this same light will pene-
trate still farther and expeI other fall
lacies and vagaries. In fact it is only
by such a dissemination of knowledge
that such a movement can be brought
under control. Like all others of its
kind it is merely temporary and fitful,
but the sooner that it's followers and
advocates can be convinced of the fall
lacy of some of its doctrines the soon
eF the majority win learn that none
of them will prove the boon it tpromis-

The man without a stomach may exist as a
museum freak, but most of us recognize the
stomach as necessary to life and comfort.
Most of us experience a little trouble from
this source occasionally, wrong action of the
stomach causing dyspepsia, etc, and often
the trouble extends, involving the liver and
bowels, whence we find biliousness and con-
stipation. We find also that the bowels and
kidneys natures sewage system become
clogged with effete matter, from which comes
impure blood, boils, blotches, scrofula, scrofu-
lous swelIings and cancerous complaints. The
Burdock Blood Bitters taken at the begin
ming, at any irter stage, arrests the trouble,
restores the disordered organ to activity,
thereby removing every vestige of disease. B.
B. B. is an absolutely pure extract of roots
and herbs, which can not injure even the
most delicate constitution, and as cure for
Dyspepsia, Biliousness, Constipation, Bad
Blood, etc, succeeds in 80 cases out of 100.

They have discovered gold in Neva-
da IN such great quantities that the
owner of a newly opened mine at Pine
Nut was offered 81, 900 for permission
to work it for only twenty-four hours.
The owner is said to have taken out
81 800 in twenty-four hours, the pre-
cious metal being found in chunks
and in decOmposed quartz. 1t will be
a happy thing for Nevada if the re
ports of this gold find are verified, for
perhaps no state in the Union is in
sorer need of something to give it an
effective start.

CARROLL S. PAGE.

Vermont, through Governor Page,
confers a high honor on Redfield Proc
tor. To be the successor of Senator
Edmunds is itself high honor; to be
the representative of a state that has
taken peculiar pride in sending able
men to Washington is still higher
honor. Secretary Proctor knows we'll
that in return for these honors he will
be expected to give his best thought
and effort to the knotty questions
which will be before the senate in the
next quarter of a century. He is not
chosen simply to crafty his personal
ambition, as has been the case in too
many senatorial elections of recent
years. He is chosen rather because
the people of the state believe him to
be the ablest man available for the
position, and because they believe that
whatever ability he has will be cheer
fully and untiringly used for the inter-
ests of his constituency. We are con-
fident that the sanguine expectations
now entertained for his senatorial ca
reer will be more than justified. We
look for long and honorable term of
service-a term the fruits of which
will increase in direct proportion to
the experience of which they will in
large part be the product. The secre-
tary will be able from the first to eX-
ercise unusual influence in the senate,
but the full force of his ability will be
seen only when he has mastered the
rules and traditions of the body and
has extended his acquaintance still
more widely.-Wa Watchmdn

William E. Bear, an English authori

William E. Bear, an English authori-
ty, gives to Bradstreets an estimate
that the European wheat deficiency
will be nearer 32O, 900, 900 bushels than
281 900, 900, his earlier estimates. He
now thinks that Russia will not be
able to export much wheat, and un-
favorable weather in western Europe
has also come in to change his esti-
mates. Giving to North America an
exportable surplus of 100, 900, 900, Brad
streets is unable to find enough sur
plus wheat in other parts of the world,
in addition, to make good this large
deficiency within 80, 900 bushels.
Nevertheless the wheat markets here
have been weaker, and it is now tho't
probable that Russia will export some
$4,000 900 bushels. Then it is to
be remembered that consumption
must inevitably be curtailed to some
degree.

The cyclone at Martinique, w. L.,
while of limited area, was of remarka-
BILE severiy and exceeded in destruc-
tiveness any hurricane felt there
since 1917. At least 800 lives were sac
rificed. About two -fifths of the island
was under cultivation, and the noun
tain slopes were covered with forests.
All the cultivated portion, and all the
forests in the path of the hurricane
seem to have been swept away. All
the vessels in port, of which there was
a large number, were destroyed.
Reaching the island at seven o'clock
in the evening, it ragged for three hours,
and houses, hospitals, storehouses and
the heaviest trees went down before
the blast Martinique is about As miles
long and 10 to Is miles wide. 1t has
been alternately in possession of the
French and English, and now belongs
to the former. 1t will be remembered
that the childhood of Josephine, wife
of Napoleon l., was spent here. The
scenery of the island is said to be of
the most picturesque character.

1t has finally been determined that
the Salton Lake in the Colorado Des-
ert has come to stay. The water is
steadily rising, at the rate of three
quarters of an inch a day, and it has
been estimated that it has come in from
the beginning at the rate of 10, ,755 cubic
feet per second. The channel of the
great break below EI Rio is cut so deep
that water will flow into the desert at
the lowest stages of the river. This
will insure the permanency of the sup
ply atSalton. Allowing that the evap-
Grafton equals the inflow from this time
on, next winters rains will cause a still
greater rise at Salton, and the entire
basin viii continue to fiIl-embracing
an area OF $500 square miles, below
sea-leveI and over 200 feet below the
Colorado River.

ure so to do. [ have, with cOnsidera-
BILE care, sought and received, person

cumbent on me to fill the vacancy re-
ferred to, [ propose to tender you the
appointment. | inform you of my de-
cision at this time, not only because [
believe you should have reasonable
notice of my intention, but because,
having reached the above conclusion,
