For ! day or so after the recall Of bar

was talk OF our helplessness In case war
should result II was Immediately seen
that we were nearly defenseless, and
that II italy could raise the money TO pay

she could exact almost any ransom she
chose from the cities OF the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts, and IL seemed probable they
would come to New York rather than to
New Orleans.
New York, which contains 20 many
agencies for the sale OF English goods
and ideas. has been ctosely governed by
the wishes Of England as TO defenses.

present more powerful arguments
against opposition to her demands and
that our iron industries might not re-
ceive the stimulus . large demand for
ships and guns would give. Under ter
teachings our newspapers and most OF
our public men wrote and spoke OF tho
high moral aspect NC presented BY offer

No Danger Of Canadian Reciprocity.

There Is not the least danger that Soc
rotary Blaine will negotiate . reciprocity
treaty with Canada which will, In any
sense, conflict with the general principle
Of American projection. He is already
on record for sentiments which should
dispel the anxiety OF those who fear that
he would favor the free importation OF
Canadian products to the detriment OF
our own producers. In q speech At
Lock Haven, Pa, Oct. 81, 1886, he said:
.Some time g one OF the eminent
men In Canada asked me to use what lit
tie influence l possess to urge upon u
people the ~propriety Of q reciprocity
treaty, which it was understood, he said,
our Minister was then negotiating at the
Court of st. James. l asked how 1t
would do to make q clean thing OF 1t,
and let into the United States free OF
duty everything they produced, and ev-
erything WI produced to be let into Canada
free OF duty. but no. he said, that would
interfere with England 1 replied, III ]
understood you correctly, the idea then
is this: Canada has practically no man.
ufactures and plenty Of raw material,
and England has no raw material but
plenty Of manufactures, and the United
States is expected to be q kind of Obedi-
ent pack horse for the convenience OF
both; and that We will let I'm Canada
lumber, Canada coal, Canada hay, Cana
da potatoes and other products free OF
duty and / said, will You let in our
cotton and our products OF leather, iron,
steel, and the thousand and n Others
of our products?
.He answered, I don't think England
would agree to that
sIn the!!reciprocity with Canada in 1885,
thirty EIGHT articles were embraced;
thirty -four or thirty-five OF them were
| imported into Canada, and Ave, or pos
sibly only four, could be exported from
Canada; and, when they came t.
form their tariff, these articles wert
placed on the free list. They were arti
cles which they could not produce. bu
watch they wanted imported, 80 tina
they could manufacture from these ray
materials cotton, tobacco, etc."
Mr.. blaine went on to show that Their
was no reciprocity in that for the Unite'

In all the above list there are just two
articles which have been affected by the
tariff, and those are Swiss cheese and
macaroni and vermicelli. Swiss cheese
has advanced two cents, and
the same. Domestic cheese was not ad-
yanced on account Of the increase OF
duty. The retail grocer from whom we
obtain the prices advanced domestic
macaroni one cent per pound. though
the cost to him is the same as six months
Ago. He took advantage Of the risc in
the foreign-made article to give the do
nestle = little boom.
A study Of the list shows that prices,
as . rule, are independent Of the duties
laid. Beans, with q largely increased
duty, are sold cheaper than six months
ago. The duty on hops was nearly
doubled, yet the retail price Is un-
changed. Raisins are cheaper under an
increased duty. Prunes show an ad-
vance OF two cents per pound, but the
increase in duty was only n cent. In
most OF the articles h prices are I'M
changed.
Sugar alone shows a reduction in price
that would counterbalance q rise in
twenty other articles, il such there were,
but. alas for the theorists, there are not.
Last October the got fourteen
hounds Of granulated sugar for 81, now

LOCKWOOD SICK,
AND HIS ATTORNEYS SECURE A
CONTINUANCE.
The Defense Finds that Two Witnesses
Were Not Present-Mr. Shinn's Afi-
davit.

When the case against ex-Justice OF
the Peace w. G. Lockwood, charged
with having embezzled the sum of $500,
intrusted to him as bail money by
Thomas w. Morton in March last, was
called for trial before Judge Smith in
department one yesterday morning, the
defendant did not answer to his name
in person. He was, however, repre-
sented by his counsel, Messrs. Shinn &
Ling, the former of whom moved the
court for continuance of the case
against his client, on the ground of the
absence of two material witnesses, to
wit, Thomas w. Morton and his
wife. In support of this motion
w. II. Shinn, Esq, filed an affidavit
setting forth that the defense expected
to prove by Morton and his wife. that
on March "a, 1890, Lockwood paid back
to Morton the sum of $500 deposited as
bail by him, taking his receipt, and
substituting therefor bond in the same
amount duly approved and filed by him
self. That every effort to find Morton
had been unsuccessful heretofore, but
it had been ascertained on Monday last
that he and his wife were in Portland,
Oregon. A continuance was therefore
asked, in order that commission might
be appointed, and the dispositions OF
Morton and his wife taken at that place.
The court expressed it as it's opinion
that the defendant should be given
every opportunity and time in which to
prepare his defense, and by consent OF
the district attorney ordered continu-
ance until April 10th next.
The affidavit concluded with clause
to the effect that it was made by Mr..
Shinn, for the reason that his client, w.
G. Lockwood, was unable to be in court
on account of sickness.
