Arizona weekly citizen., 1891-10-24


ceived the following reply: "You in
form the democratic papers IN your
town and many democratic papers
throughout Ohio that keep the follow
ing paragraph standing in type, but
there is no section or line in the Nc
Kinley bill that will open a market for
another bushel OF wheat or another bar
rel of pork. Jas G.. Blaine to Senator
Frye, July IL, $780, that this sentence
is garbled, and taken second to its prop
er connection; it creates wrong i'm
preston. What l aid say, was the fol-
loving: Il do not doubt that in many
respects the tariff bill pending IN the
senate is just measure, and that most
of its provisions are in accordance with
the policy of protection, but there is no
section or line in the entire bill that
will open market for another bushel of
wheat or another pound Of pork The
p, letter in which this paragraph occurs
was written to Senator Frye July IL,
1890, and the bill did not become law
until October, nearly three months
thereafter. In my letter to Senator
Frye / objected to the bill because it
,, did not contain a reciprocity clause
which would provide a market for
wheat, pork and other farm products,
and for various fabrics. Before the bill
was finally passed, the reciprocity clause
was inserted, and large addition was
made to the free list. 1t will therefore
be seen, from what l said IN my letter,
that the objection which l made to the
| Mckinley bill was entirely removed be-
| fore the bill became law. Let me
| further say that the reciprocity clause
has given ample market for many bar
rels Of flour and many pounds OF pork.
| Brazil, some months since, entered into
treaty with US whereby many articles
were admitted free; -four is made free
! and pork admitted at nominal duty.
Cuba and Costa Rico have reduced duty
on -four $3.50 q barrel to S1.0O, which
gives us the market, besides putting
| nearly 100 articles of American pro-
duction on the free list. San Domingo
has made reciprocity treaty. with flour
and pork on the free list, besides large
| number of other articles. Other treaties
are in progress. Germany, without ne
gotiating a formal treaty, has removed
the prohibition on pork, and the govern
| ment, in consideration thereof, has left
sugar on the free list. This opens to us
an entirely new market, and from Sl5,-
OO0,OO0 to S20,O00,0OO of American pork
will be consumed annually. The recip-
rocity provision Is proving very success
full, especially in farm products, and
more particularly in the case of the two
articles mentioned the paragraph quot
ed-hour and pork. am not, therefore,
an opponent of the Mckinley bill, as
democratic papers in Ohio are constant
ly alleging. On the contrary have
cordially supported it ever since it was
perfected by the insertion of the recip-
rocity clause. Very respectfully yours,
James G. Blaine"
