RECIPROCITY,
(OR PARTIAL FREE-TRADE.)

IF boundless plenty be the robe.
Trade is the golden girdle of the globe.
Wise to promote whatever end He means,
God opens fruitful natures varied scenes;
Each nation requires what others produce,
And offers something TO the general use.
No land but listens to the common call,
Yet in return receives supplies from all.
Hope sings of a time to come, 1.-THE millennium"
When selfish men shall all be dumb;
All nations as brothers shall meet
Throughout earth there'll be JOY so sweet;
Open wide all hearts, all ports, to every one,
peace on earth, good will to man,"
Each striving to assist the other,
Determined in all ways envy to smother.
Who doubts if ever there's such an hour on
earth,
Twill be when statesmen ha' birth
Who'll see beyond all laws Of narrow trade,
Which by scheming men were selfshly made
To check sister nations trade which longs TO
leap
Ger salty seas and across the vastly deep?
Reciprocal treaties are milestones in our road,
To help some nations and tighten their load.
Partial free-trade, called reciprocity" by
some.
Is the wedge for commercial millennium"

The Sherman county Grain and I'M
provement company has filed its charter
with the secretary of state. The capital
stock is S25, 900, and its object, as stated,
is to buy, sell and improve land; also for
the purchase and sale Of stock and grain.
Their headquarters are at Goodland.
The organization of such local enter
prises as this, having for its object the
development Of the country and adj
vancement of the material interests
thereof, should be encouraged in every
county, especially in the western part of
the state, where cooperative effort IS
necessary in some measure to encourage
the citizens and assist them against adj
verse circumstances that are liable to
occur, until the country is opened and
developed.

the past two or three years, as
every generous reader will remem-
Der with SINGER sympathy and re-
greet, he has encountered a succession
of domestic affections almost stunning
to a nature Of the sensibility of his.
There has been no lack of manhood IN
Mr.. Blaine's attitude~under these repeat
ed strokes of misfortune, heavy enough
and frequent enough to have broken an
ordinary constitution to pieces. But Is
there any wonder that a time comes
when the danger signals begin to appear
i'll certain physical symptoms? Or is it
strange that Mr.. Blaine and those solicit
Gus for the usefulness of the next fifteen
years of his life should reach the Conclu-
sion that the secretary needs rest, free
dom from worry, careful attention and
fair chance to recUperatef
This precisely the time chosen for the
incredibly malignant and brutal conspir-
acy to drive James G. Blaine into a pre-
mature grave by exhibiting himself as q
man doomed to death. We say conspir-
acy because every indication of concer-
ted action on the part of the inventors
of bogus interviews, the fabricatOrs of
the lying medical reports of Bar Harbor,
BostonIandl Washington, the,artists whose
pencils are set to the task of representing
the secretary of state the last stage
of emaciation and impending dissoslu-
ton, the editors who have already
ordered his coffin and are shedding
crocodile tears over it. One day 1t Is
acute nervous prostration. another day
it is paresis, another day it is Bright's
disease, another day it is paralysis-any
malady known to the pathologists Is
good enough malady for the use Of the
assassins, providing it is swift and
hopeless.
The history of American politics-we
are constrained to add, the history of
American iournalism-recor nothing
comparable to the bounding of the fore
most statesman of the Republican party
by Democrats and Republicans in con-
cert. What influence is behind it we do
not know. Certainly not Benjamin
Harrison. rs is here and there intimated.
The president may have as much reason
to fear Mr. Blaine for the future as he
has to be grateful 10 him for the past,
but Gen. Harrison Is not the man 70

liminary campaign for the presidential

The state board of equalization has
found that the total valuation of all
property in the state for 1891 is S341 $685.
075, being about Sc, ia, S6S less than last
year. 1t is not to be understood, how
ever, that there is actually that much
less property in the state since the last
assessment, nor that the property of the
state has deteriorated in actual value to
that extent. On the contrary, the in
crease in the amount and actual value of
property in the state during the year
has no doubt been greater than the re-
ported decrease, if the conditions under
which the valuations for both years were
made had been the same. The trouble
is found in the decrease of the amount
of money in circulation. There is no
doubt that like conditions as to property
valuation exist in most of the states, and
is the strongest possible argument that
can be advanced for a large increase in
the volume of currency.

The New York World printed, a few
days ago. several columns Of interviews
with leading physicians in England,
France, Germany, Vienna and Italy on
their views concerning the treatment
and cure of Brights disease. The inter
views were sought because Of the state
ment that Mr.. Blaine Is a sufferer from
that malady. The concensus Of opinion
Is that even in its chronic form the
patients life may be prolonged indefi-
mtelv. Milk diet, vegetables and bran
bread are the great remedial agents
Cases are cited where absolute restora-

The new trade compact, just proclaim
ed, between tho United States and the
Spanish islands to the southeast, virtual
" establishes free trade between these
countries. 1t secures the free admission
into the Spanish isles about ali of the
products of this country, agricultural
and manufactured, and admits their sta
pie products here. This last will not APP
preciably affect market prices for our
products with which the island products
will come into competition. The bounty
on our sugar and molasses takes the
place of the displaced tariff, while their
tobacco is of a grade and quality that re-
lieves it of competition with ours. Elk
cept these, there is little of the islands
productions that come into real active
competition with our own.

Let the people rule-we are their rep

and atfix a Just recompense for their
labor. The United States of America
belongs to God and Americans. 1t is
our land, our home and our altar. 1t is
preserved by our labor, our products and
our markets. We are equals and need
no protection from one another, but do
need protection from a foreign invasion
OF men. money and products. We trust
in God and need no standing army, nor
guns, nor powder, nor whisky. Our
duty to each other IS equal rights to all
and special privileges to none. We be-
iieve in a free government, free speech,
free press, free ballot. free schools, free
churches and free coinage, and the issue
OF legal tender notes and interest bearing
bonds convertible into legal tenders and
back again at the pleasure Of the people;
and, as far as practicable. each branch
of the government should be self-sup-
porting, and a direct tax levied to paw
the expenses of the government. And
with due reverence to God, respect for
His commandments, we must prosper as
party and nation. II. E. BIDwELL.
