in the interest of the experimental station
connected with the Clemson College, and is
now visiting and inspecting the herds of

Of purchasing n number Of The better classes
for the College. He came to Charleston from

would before the end of tho season, ht
thought, have tho six million brick neces
sary for the work. Already there are 52c
applications in the hands ofthe trustees, and
they expected that before fall there would
be 600. So very far above the ex p pectations
Of the authorities have the applications been
that it has been decided to make the capacity
Of all the buildings twice as great as was
originally intended.
The ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of the main building will be held on
the 2Sth of July. The speakers on this oc-
casion will be Presiden, Polk, of the Alliance,
Senator Buist, of Charleston, and DR.. Hop
kins, of Atlanta.
Mr.. Norris avoided the discussion of all
political questions. Concerning the third
party movement he thought there was ample
time for its consideration -Charleston World.

family died Saturday. Two others, it seems
cannot recover.
The cases are the rc2t remarkable ever
heard of in the West. Tt ere are six
brothers and one sister in the family, and
there is considerable apprehension lest more
of them should be stricken. DR.. King says
that there is no doubt that the disease was
transmitted into the boys when they skinned
an affected calf nine years ago.
Thomas Vandere is resting easy. The
condition of his mind is entirely changed
since yesterday morning. He is not quite
convinced that he will live. When DR..
King called on him he was engaged in writ
ing q letter of consolation to his father.
Jacob Vandever, fifteen year oIl boy, has
not taken particle of nourishment since he
was attacked by rabies Saturday. The
popularity of the strange disease in center

prevented him from swallowing. The sight
Of anything nourishing or anything that

legislation or imitation Of currency in this
country can prevent it.
The practical result, o. the sub Treasury
scheme, in The South, in our opinion, will be
the Farmers storing their cotton and receiv-
ing 80 per cent of its value in inflated eur
rency will hnd, when they come to buy sup
plies with it, that the purchasing value of
that currency is reduced considerably by
corresponding inflated prices for every
article they buy, from . mule shoe to mule,
plow, or a pound Of coffee. And We would
not be surprised II, after counting up all the
costs and lQsssie passing il through the
warehouse, u Sns Farmer, did not discover
that the 80 per cent advSnce was about oil
they realized from their Gotten.
And.at the close of the year, with perhaps
one-half the old crop in the warehouses, we
would see the same "volume Of flexible cur
rency" that has been contracting and ex-
panding ~ all the past year, going in at one
door Of The warehouse to release the balsnce
Of the old crop,at q very reduced price, and
coming out at another door TO perform similar
flexible duties for the new crop the next
year.

RECIPROCITY WILL WIN,

Reciprocity, or, in other words, high
protection for all that we as a people can
produce, with free open foreign markets
for the same secured through a consent
to accept without duty all those things
that we can't produce, is going to be
the future policy of this country, all
cries of free trade ard tariff reform set
up in the interest of plutocrats by the
Democratic party to the contrary not
withstanding. Reciprocity says to the
whole world you must pay handsomely
for the privilege of selling anything in
the United States of America that in
any way completes with American labor,
but if you will open your markets to our
grain and hogs and other surplus sup
plies you will be free to bring on for
sale here such things as we can't pro-
duce. Open up your markets Mr..
Europe to our surplusages or otherwise
stay away from these shores with your
trinkets which we can get along without.
1t compels South America to purchase
from this country something in exchange
for the large amount of produce we have
been buying from them. Heretofore
they have been sending us their sugar,
coffee, and other articles-in some in
stances making us pay, as in the case of
coffee, an export duty for the privilege
of buying it from them, and then put
ting heavy duty on American flour
and other products. This country was
good enough for them to sell sugar and
coffee to, but in their buying the favors
were all shown TO the Europeans. Reci-
procity has changed this. 1t has COM
PEELED them to give Americans fair play.
1t has been the cause of abolishing dis
eliminating duties, and has now opened
the German market to the American
hog, which has been barred out hereto
fore. American farm products gam
also in the same treaty. This insures an
immensely increased market for Ameri-
can pork and American corn, which is
not such very bad result of Reciprocity.
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1891-12-17

sugar, molasses, coffee and tea exported
by these countries which have failed TO
take advantage of the reciprocity clause.
This proclamation will be of more inn
portance in its commercial effect than
the negotiations of dozen treaties, for
it affects many countries and practically
closes our custom houses against the
the chief articles of export of several
nations.
The proclamation will be mainly I'M
portant in its effect upon the great tea
imports of China and Japan, the enor-
nous hide products of the Argentine
Republic and the sugar and coffee pro-
ducts of Uruguay, Paraguay and several
minor southern countries.
China and Japan might have secured
a remission of 10 cents a pound on tea,
but they have failed to take advantage
of the reciprocity clause and the procla-
nation will be specifically directed
against them. The Argentine Republic
is the great exporter of hides to this
country. The average value of exporta-
tons hither is seldom short of 81, 600, 600.
Other countries which will suffer by the
proclamation are Hayti and the Hawaiian
islands with their great sugar products
and the Danish, Dutch and French col
onies to the south of this country.

INSPIRATION.


The shady nook in woodland dell,
Close 10 the bank, where purling, fell
The silvery, hmpid, crystal stream,
Whose wayelets in the sunlight gieam,
As onward, DER its pebbly bed
1t rushes from its fountain head;
Is, with delicious pleasure fraught
For toll and strife are set at naugnt.
Here, meath the boughs Of stately trees
Whose green leaves sway with every breeze,
Where verdure carpets all the ground
In emerald hues-bright birds are found;
Whose tuneful lays and joyous songs,
Methinks to other worlds belong;
Lifting the heart from things of time
To those more Heavenly, more divine.
When nestled meath its sheltering shade
All else in field, on hill and glade
Seem touched with radiant eolors Ger,
A foretaste of that Heavenly shore
Where God the Father-Christ the Son
Dwell, with the Spirit-three in one;
That glorious home whose mansions rare
Are waiting for our entrance there
