increase in the exports of Brazil 10 the ohi,oo
States the Reciprocity policy being mutually
advantageous to both countries. mat inc III
crease of S1,169,592 in five months was u'-
,ectlv TO be attributed to the commercial agree
ment wa demonstrated few days ago BY piint-
ing classified table of exports, in which inc
gains were distributed among articles eitner III
the free or the reduced schedules, and the losses
among those not covered by diplomatic actioh'
The only exception was cottons, IN whlch thei0
was n slight loss notwithstanding the advantage
~ 25 per cent All other exports favored py
the commercial agreement were increased. uht'i
orr Pree-Trade adyersaries succeed in proving
tho ;ncorrectness of these official returns, they
will do well to cease monkeying with other ana
inconclusive statistics. The gain OF 81, l6S'o9Z
in five months is fact which proves neon
testably that Reciprocity is enIargng the loreish
demand for American exports.
WHY these Free Trade advocates should at
tempt 70 establish the "deadliness" OF the Reel
orocity policy we cannot understand. Ihey
profess to believe that the country would DO
more prosperous if its ports were opened more
freely to foreign importatiOns. But when heci-
procity with its limited application to non-com-
netting products performs that function, they
describe it as "a deadly policy" Brazil has en-
larged its free list and taken 20 per cent from
the duties on various classes of exports and the
United States in return offers so large meas
ire of unrestricted trade that in July, 1891, out
of total importation of S4,O6s,s72 only $66s
was dutiable. These conditions the Democratic
press pronounces deadly" although it is adj
yocating at all times Free Trade and lower
duties On imports If commercial union and less
restricted trade in non-competing products OF
different zones be of no advantage to the United
States, as it loudly assets, how deadly would
be its own policy of unrestricted trade in all
products

UHAT 4 DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATURE
WOULD MEAN.

WOULD MEAN.
Suppose the plot to steal our Legislature sue
ceeds. what will the trcksters who are now in
command of the Democracy Of this State do
with their victory? The last time the Demo-
Gratis controlled the Legislature was in 1929.
In 1882 it took the Assembly seven weeks to
organize owing to the fact that the Democratic
majority was divided into factions which could
not agree as to the distribution of the spoils Of
the session. Having at last elected a Speaker
and got to work, this scandalous body united
with the Democratic Senate in an attempt to
put through biazen gerymander of the Con-
gressional districts. 1t also united with the
Democratic Senate in " flunking' on the con-
Wet c0ntract-labOr question. The Democracy
had long been protesting on the stump and in
its organs that convict contract labor must go.
But when the party got chance to throw it out
of the prisons it shirked, referring the matter
to a popular vote.
The Legislature of the following year was as
worthless as its predecessor. 1t passed Con-
gleSsional apportionment which was the prod
uct of selfish and INSCRIPTIONS partisanship, the
population OF one district being as high as
100 900 and that of another as low as 1875, 900
Not unnaturally law was passed that year
amending the excise laws solely in the interest
of the saloons. To cap the climax the vulgar
quarrel of the factions for spells which marked
the beginning of the Assembly of 1882 marked
the end of the Senate of 1888. The Tammany
Senator'S under the lead of Grady-who has just
been appointed Police Justice-declined to con-
firm the nominations of Grover Cleveland, and
the Governor retaliated by excoratng them in
a special message.
This was the record of the last Democratic
Legislature. VIII that of 1892 be an improve
ment upon it if, the decision Of the ballot-box
being disregarded the Democratic members OBJ
tain oontrop Certainly not. There is every
reason to expect that if the coming Legislature
is Democratic the bosses and the rum power
will have things pretty much their own way.
We may be sure that bill will be passed which
will cause every keeper of ginmil to throw
I'D his hat for JOY. We may be sure that

MONKEYING WITH RECIPROCITY.

The Democratic press stands in wholesome
dread of the success of the Reciprocity policy
This is evident from its frantic efforts to prove
that nothing has been gained by the passage
of the Aldrich amendment and the diplomatic
action of the State Department in negotiating
commercial agreements with Brazil, the Spanish
West Indies and San Domingo. One Of these
journals tries to prove that in the export of
most of the articles admitted to Brazil free
of duty or with reduced duty, "there has
been no increase at all, and that as to those
articles of which the export has increased, the
export to other countries with which we have no
Reciprocity agreement has increased in much
greater measuren This leads that Free-Trade
organ to conclude that Reciprocity is something
" deadly"
There is very simple test by which the
value Of Reciprocity may be determined. The
treaty went into effect on April l. 1891. If its
provisions were beneficial to the American ex-
port trade the returns of the Bureau of Statistics
for corresponding months of 1890 and 1891
would show marked increase. This is precisely
what the returns do show. The following is a
comparison by months

Whether the rain which ceased faling yestor-
day has done anything toward relieving the
threatened water famine is a disputed question.
At the best there does not seem to be much
ground for hope until a really heavy rain lasting
several days occurs. Every little helps, how
ever. In the present situation it is the plain
duty of the city authorities to take immediate
and stringent measures to prevent waste These
should not be confined to dwelling-houses but
should apply with severity to al establishments
where large quantities of water are regularly
used. The daily consumption can doubtless be

The assembling of the Lid Congress is nearly
four weeks in the future, but already four can
didates for Speaker are in Washington, and it
may with truth be said that " the conflict thick

err and Bynum believe that they are each in to

are mentioned. II is an exceedingly interesting
struggle, and will perhaps be enjoyed most by
those who are not in the midst Of it A striking
parallel is presented in the scramble for the
clerkship of the House, which is eagerly sought
by a number OF ex-COngressmen The descrip-
ton of the Democratic party as an organized

in the letter which appears on another page

that he will serve out his entire term as Gov
