Congress and the Harrison Administration OF
inconsistency in connecting Reciprocity with the
tariff policy. All that has been done has been
to facilitate the exchanges of different zones
and to get something like its full value for
the privilege of free entry into market OF
ca. 600, 900 of consumers. Before the Reel
procity policy was put into effect, the United
States gave away its free market without Sc
curing any compensating advantages. 1t put
coffee on the free lst and left Brazil free to
impose an export duty upon it. Now there Is
a reversion to common-sen business principles
Consumers have the full benefit of free mar
ket for coffee and sugar, and exporters OF farm
and factory produce receive special advantages
in trading with Southern countries. The re-
suits will be apparent when the following table
is examined:

A KINGS HARD CHOICE.

Amid the interest aroused by the visit OF the
German Emperor to England the travels OF an
other. Younger and lesser monarch should by
no means be overlooked or their possible sig
nifcance deprecated. The dOings of second
and third rate Powers have often set the great
Powers at odds, and for that reason diplomatists
will carefully watch the acts and listen to the
words of Alexander of Servia during the fort
night which has just begun. This boy king,
whose certificate of scholarship was published
only last month is to-day the man whom the
Russian Gar delights to honor. On his way
70 peterhof he was escorted with such stately
ceremony as the most powerful sovereign OF
Europe might be proud of. An Imperial Grand
Duke personally greeted him at the frontier of
the Province of Moscow. At the railroad sta
ton at Peterhof he was met by the Car and
all the Grand Dukes, and at the palace by the
Czarina and all the Grand Duchesses. And
this week the Imperial resources of the Russian
capital are taxed to their utmost to bestow
pleasure and honor and distinction upon the
be shifted to Ischl. There for time the royal
boy will be entertained by the Emperor of
Austria; but in. manner far different from
that at ST. Petersburg There will be little
ceremony and few public demonstrations. The
two sovereigns will meet as friends in private
life, and also as practical men with practical
business to transact. And then young Alex
ander will return to Belgrade to ponder the
momentous question, Goblin or Short?
No attempt is made to disguise the political
purport of these visits. The Servian King has
practically been summoned by the rival En-
perors to choose with which Of them he will
side. Come to st. Petersburg, says the Car
and see the spendor and the power of Russia
and perhaps zee some fair young princess Of
the house Of Romanof whom you may, when
you are old enough, claim for your bride. Come
/ to lschl, says Francis Joseph, and see how much
nearer ut hand is Austria than Russia, and how
much more intimate Seryas relations with IL
social political and commercial, naturally are

DEVELOPMENT OF RECIPROCITY.


Reciprocity is no longer to be regarded az
theory or as an experiment.. 1t is a policy
which is producing large practical results. Three
commercial agreements have been negotiated
with coffee and sugar countries and three for
eign markets have been opened to the products
of American farms, mines and factories. These
advantages for the export trade have been So
cured without the sacrifice Of the principles Of
Protection A free market is offered to South
ern countries producing staples belonging to a
different zone The value Of that free market,
which is the best in the world, entities us on
strict business principles to have certain priv
ileges in exchange in disposing of our surplus
products. The United States, as the heaviest
purchaser of Brazilian coffee and Cuban sugar,
is allowed by the Reciprocity agreements dis
eliminating advantages over England in selling
its exports 1t is a good business trade with
countries having large surplus of staples
which cannot be produced in the United States.
Competing American industries. like tobacco,
are protected, but tropical produce which we
want but cannot raise is admitted without re-
strictions and since the consumption of that
produce is so large as to create an oyerwhelm-
ing balance OF trade in favor of Southern coun-
tries, the conditions are equitably readjusted
by concessions to the surplus of American bread
stuifs, meats and manufactures
A good many of our Democratic friends the
enemy are seeking to prove that Reciprocity is
essentially FreeTrade policy. II they really
think 80, why arc they sneering at IL as de-
fusion and a trickp Until they can succeed
in demonstrating that any competing industrial

epsue upon Mr.. Edmundss retirement may De
Judged from the circumstance that no less than
sixteen candidates have been cordially recon-
mended to him.
The Chicago representatives of the Column
bian Exposition were cordially welcomed in
Berlin yesterday, and abundant assurances were
given that Germany would be well represented
at the coming Worlds Fair. This is another
of the increasing number of signs OF foreign
interest in the Exposition. Meanwhile the
commissioners representing the Treasury De-
nortment in Europe submit a highly favorable
re,ort respecting the success of their mission.
Whatever apathy has prevailed abroad on this
subject is being rapidly dispelled. No doubt
exists that the foreign departments of the Ex-
position will be well filled. 1t remains for the
United States to do its part with hearty good
will toward the success of the great enterprise
on which it has embarked.

There was piece of bad management on the
New-daven Railroad yesterday, and narrow
escape from shocking disaster followed. An
express train was running at high speed when
the engineer espied a freight train on the track
in front of him. In an instant the brakes were
appIied but collision was unavoidable, and
the passenger train cut its way through the
freight cars before coming to a halt. No one
was injured although everybody on board was
badly shaken. 1t is two years since the last
serious accident occurred on this road. iester-

valuable lesson.

steamship line may promote the importation OF

couragement of shipping interests and the estab

direct benefit TO the exporters. There is every
reason for hoping for similar results in the United

Peculiarities of French Bread.

In Paris bread is indeed the ''staff of
life" 1t is carried about the streets
without even string around it. Women
clasp the long rolls affectionately to their
bosoms and rest the ends against their
hair. Men forget that it isn't u cane
they are carrying and rap the end of the
loaf on the pavement as they walk. I
saw little boy in the dirt by the Seine
using a long piece Of bread for play
thing. Presently he wiped it upon his
dress and took mouthful. 1 saw a
woman sitting on a bench in the Lux
embourg gardens costly hugging great
round loaf-without any wrapper, please
remember. We heard angry voices be-
fore our window, and beheld a woman
humping a man with fresh BAKED
roll. 1t broke in two, but the woman
beat tattoo on his back with the pieces.
When we go to buy bread we are
tempted to ask, ''How much is it a
yard?' We.are sure the French people
never die of lockjaw, for any grinding
apparatus that can stand the test of
years on this bread can stand anything.

Rritishers Enlightened.

Miss Jennie O'Nein Potter relates a
funny story of an experience in England
during her tour in that country. She
was invited by the Royal artillery to
give an entertainment in aid of a mill
tary charitable institution at Woolwich
garrison, near London. Her readings
met with approval, and in response to an
encore she recited ''Sheridan's Ride"
An old general of the Royal artillery,
who was chairman for the occasion,
came. to Miss Potter during the interval
and said, stroking his gray mustache:
'sAw, Miss Pottah, don't cher know,
several persons wish to know-aw-
where the incident of this-aw-Sheri-
dams ride took place. OF course I've
heard about it, but it has-aw-quite es-
capped my memory"
'sWhy, general" replied Miss Potter,
who dearly loves a joke, ''that Sheri-
dams ride took place at the battle of
Bunker Hill
Certainly it did," rejoined the gen
eral, who rose, and addressing the au-
dience, said, Ladies and gentlemen-In
response to numerous inquiries have to
inform you that the ride of General
Sheridan was an incident of the battle
