THE Topeka Capital puts the fol-
lowing for ointment of the free trade
optics of the democracy.
The democratic newspapers which
continue to be unable to see the
difference in principle between free
trade and reciprocity can perhaps see
difference in the results. Under
free trade we lose our own home mar
ket and enter on the troubled sea of
competition for the control of "the
markets of the world" Under reci-
procity we retain our en- tire home
market for the commodities produced
in this country and are given an adj
vantage over every competitor in the
markets of the reciprocating nation,
IA return for free admission of pro-
ducts which We would have to i'm
port anyway. The difference be-
tween reciprocity and free trade is
the difference between a first class
practical joke perpetrated by the
United States OH free trade countries
and first-class tragedy perpetrated
by free trade countries on the United
States. Free trade countries can't
adopt reciprocity. They put tariffs
on things they are compelled to
import. Reciprocity takes tariffs off
things we are compelled to import.
We are left with protective revenues
to pay the running expenses Of the
government. They would be left with
out any impost revenues at all. The
reason England doesn't adopt re-
ciprocity policy to Offset ours Is that
she can't. Her free trade system pre-
vents it. Hence we are protected at
home by protection, AID abroad by
free trade.

BLAINE is not dying out of the
memory of his friends or losing
ground in their estimation because he
is not agonizing for the presidency.
Blaine has loftier motives and more
important work is committed to his
hands than grabbing for nomina-
tiol. The republican party will look
out for that nomination. Neither Mr..
Harrison nor Mr.. Blaine will sulk If
the other is nominated, but Mr..
Blaine at present is not in it. The
republican party is doing we'll under
president Hsrrison's administration
with Mr.. Blaine's assistance and
matters will remain as they are.

Uncle Dan'l size up the situation so
far as Reagan is concerned, and puts
in plain language what every one
knows. The Age says:
To suppose that Judge Reagan
thinks he can be more useful here in
Texas assisting to regulate local
freight charges, than as a member of
OF the upper house of the great coun-
cil:of the Nation is to assume that the
Judge has but poor opinion of his own
abilities and influ snce. But it would
be very notifying to Judge Reagan,
and throw a shadow over his record,
to be defeated in contest for a Sec
ond term in the senate. By resigning
the seat in the senate to accept the
appointment as commissioner he es-
capes danger so threatening"
The Hogg and Reagan taffy in that
appointment deceived no one.

THE Willis Point Chronicle is not
banking high on the result of ex-
Senator Reagan's appointment as
railway commissioner. The Chronicle
says:
Senator Reagan has the politician
side of the railroad question down
pat, but we very seriously doubt that
he possesses the painstaking business
methods necessary to make an eff
cient commissioner.
Were business methods expected
or desired in the creation Of the COM
mission? There is a very general inn
preston that they were not.
