NO RECIPROCITY IN 1T.

There is a strong probability that the
action of Germany in admitting the
American hog will be followed by
France. The people of that country
also need the meat. Denmark adopted
the restriction with Germany, and has
now removed 1t. Credit is due to the
representatives of the government for
their efforts in these cases to promote
the removal of the distractions to the
porcine element, but the seeming i'm
preston with some Republican papers
that the reciprocity scheme cut any
figure in the case is baseleSs. 1t has
no more connection with it than it
has with the big grain crops in this
country or the demand for them by the
hungry over the water. German beet
sugar is admitted free, and might
perhaps be hampered with duty under
the MCKINLEY act, but that is entirely
immaterial so far as the admission of
the hog is concerned, 1t was excluded
on the ground, whether fully believed
or not, that the American hog was pecul-
iarly liable TO be the abode of trichin8.
Investigations have dissipated such in
furious assumptions. The objections
could not stand with the rigid enforce
ment of the meat inspection bill which
became law in pretty much the form
it was introduced in the senate by Nj.
VEST. This is the key to the opening
of the door. The admission is condi-
toned upon the rigid enforcement of
the inspection act, and not pound of
pork can be received without the
certification that it is free from
disease. Denmark's requirement is
the same. 1t is not a sugar producer,
and could be in no way affected by any
of the -retaliatory menaces of the Nc
kinney act. Germany does not pro-
pose to reciprocate for free sugar. Ii
exacts the same tariff rates as before on
pork from this country. The prohibit
ton is removed, and that is all. Not a
shadow of the reciprocity Illusion is
about it. Those great European coun-
tries are the ones where mutual rela-
tons of this sort would be beneficial to
the producers of American meats and
breadStuffS.

a PATRIOT REWARDED.

A casual utterance sometimes makes
man famous as deluge of finished
oratOry could not do. What member of
the Republican national convention in
which FLANAGAN, of Texas, sat, is so
well known to the country as that gen.
tleman? If he ever made a speech or
did any service to the country, it is
not held in grateful, or any other kind
of recollection. His fame rests upon his
involuntary compendium of motives in
the party of professed moral ideas, in
the question. What are we here for, if
not the oflices?" There has been no
reason to doubt that he embodied in
that his constant personal ambition, and
that he has held to the hope amid
all the disappointments of weary
years since. 1t is probable, in fact,
that the presidents he has aided to elect
have Disseminated against him by rea-
son Of his candor and the notoriety it
gave him. He has held to the faith and
the Texas delegation in the conventions
since, and never wavered in loyalty to
his creed. He has found that things do
really come to those who wait. HARRI-
son has made him collector of customs
at FL Paso. 1t is left to inference
whether his reward has come IN recog-
milton of his devotion to a principle as
he enunciated it, or because the presi-

WHAT IT Is FOR.

The New York Tribune advises Amer
lean laborers not to go to the South and
Central American countries. because
wages are so low that self-respecting
United States citizen would be ashamed
to try to live oh them. In most of them
ordinary labor is put at hardly more
than 50 cents per day. while the neces-
saries of life cost about the same as in
this country. 1t is needless to indorse
the advice, if the Tribune is accurate as
to the fact; yet these are the countries it
is desired to establish reciprocity with
in traffic. This involves competition
in labor. 1t means, so far as it goes,
putting the laborer in this country on
the footing of the 50.cent fellow. who
half-lives, i'll those regions to the south.
Is that what reciprocity is for?

THE EMPEROR,s BEARD.

If there have been any warlike breezes
coming from Germany of late 1t should
be remembered that the emperor has
been short on whiskers for them to blow
through. He has been IN retirement
nurturing new hirsute era. In the
meantime the order has gone forth that
no man shall sell photograph of his
beardless visage. He has heard that
the ladies think his face boyish and
great warrior should have a facial re-
serve, for which a heavy covering is
needed. Still he is likely to be chafed
by the caricatures published, especially
in Paris, of his appearance in the pro-
motion Of this industry. The world
would have glimpses of that unfolding
beard and know what processes are
used. If electricity promotes growth,
it would be favorable occasion for re-
liable experiments.

a TIME 70 HALT

Many of the statistics put out by the
census bureau may be accepted as suf-
ficiently accurate for reliable conclu-
sions. Totals are given showing the
aggregate wealth of the country and the
increase in the decade. Mr.. PORTER
does not compare it with former peri
DDS, but those who do will find that the
ratio of increase under the high tariff
system is not as great as in the revenue
tariff eras. The last distinctive revenue
tariff period was in the decade before
the war. Between 1850 and 1860 the
growth in wealth was 126 per cent, and
in the last decade hardly half of that.
1t is computed, also, by the economists
that in the former period 20 per cent of
the property of the country was in the
hands of the farmers and wage earners.
Now the latter have but 40 per cent, and
nearly 60 per cent is subject to $4,000
people. Under the revenue tariff sys-
tenn. the controlling interest in the
wealth of the country was in the hands
of the people, the farmers and the toll
ers. Now, after the policy of protec-
ton has had full exemplification, small
classes are in control. 1t is not qnes-
toned that large fortunes have been
made by new discoveries and develop
ments of natural resources. But spe-
cific facts are not needed to show that
those who piled up their millions the
highest have done so by virtue of gov
ernmental agency and partial legisla-
ton. CARNEGIE could not have gath
cred his S30,000,O00, or JAY GOULD his
1925, 600, 900, by any natural laws of trade
or industry. 1t was stated by distin-
guished Republican In congress that ten
men had made in the decade then clos
ing more money than all the farmers in
the United States. The legislation of
the Republican party has ministered to
their interests and enabled them to pile
up fortunes that their fathers would
have secuted as the dreams of delirious
fancies. Their wealth has not grown
like the rolling SNOWFALL, but as the
lamp rubbed in the Arabian story.
They control the railroads, telegraphs,
the outputs of iron and coal, as well as
the products of the farm and the mar
kets They have shaped the legisla tion
of the dominant party and made it do
their service. But step too far was
taken in the MCKINLEY production, and
the people indicated last year that il
seemed to them about time to call a

FARMERS, DAY.

Farmers day at the Fair was a great
success, and four eminent sons of Min
nesota contributed largely to make it
such. DANIEL BUCK, S. M. OWEN,
KNUTE NELSON and CYRUS N oRTHRoP
are men of character and ability, and it
was worth coming many long mile to
hear them speak in honest and manly
tones on everyday questions without a
hint of politics or suggestion of par
tisanship. They are noble representa-
tives of their different classes of thought
and training, and the state has reason
to be proud of the quartet and of each of
them. Rugged and direct was the coun-
sci of that noble Democrat, DANIEL
BUCK; hopeful and encouraging were
the words of Mr.. OWEN, the best of
his party; wise, thoughtful and patri-
otto was the address of the Scandinavian
American from Alexandria who loves
the country of his adoption; and grace
full. learned and eloquent were the clos
ing remarks of President NoRTHRoP,
who. although coming last, held his
audience, as he always does, because
he an orator in the best sense Of the
word. 1t was altogether happy occa-
sion, and the feature of the Fair.

forced himself upon them and paid
Braudlaugh compliment, IN acknowl-

Diplomatic Steps Are Being Taken
at ConstantinopIe.
LONDON, Sept 1.-THE rumor that
the Dardnaelles question has subsidized
is untrue. Lord Salisbury is actively
taking diplomatic steps. The porte's
ambassador here was summoned
to Constantinople yesterday to
give an account of the posi-
ton. The ex-grand vizier, Kiamil
Pasha, continues prisoner in his own
house. The British minister at Con-
stantinople and the German ambass-
ador, Her Won RadowitZ, have made
representations to the sultan with q
view to the protection of Kiamil PaSha.
The sultan, who gave audience to-day
to Herr Won Radowitz, denied that his
designs were inimical to any European
power, and stated, referring to Kiamil,
that there was no serious charge against
him.
BERLIN, Sept 11.-There is a good
deal of quiet satisfaction in high quar-
tiers with the situation in the Darda-
nelleS and the fact that Egypt. which
has been holding aloof from the triple
alliance, may now have to beg the as
sistance OF the alliance to stop the
course taken by Russia. There is no
probability, however, that Germany
will interfere as long as the question at
issue is confined to the passage of the
straits by the Russian vessels of war or
otherwise.
The North German Gazette, apropos
of the DardauelleS incident, refers to
the community of interest between Eng
land and the dreibund, adding: Even it
the interests of Great. Britain were not
everywhere coincident with those
of the dreibund, they are most
assuredly nowhere opposed TO
them. Wheresoever it can be
shown that the interests Immediately

ger it may be taken for granted that the
question as to how far the dreibund is
affected will be considered in the friend
