worth noting. Every pirate captain, doubt

were certain traditional articles that seem

How .lseciprooity" Discriminates.


The total exports of the United States
to Great Britain and Ireland during the
last fiscal year amounted in value to
$441 500, S01. This is $50. 900, 900 less
than the value of the exports to Great
Britain and Ireland in 1881 Yet this
country's exports last year to the United
Kingdom amounted in value to more
than its exports to all the world besides.
While throwing every tariff obstacle
in the way of this great trade, the bril-
liant policy of the administration is to
bully or beg commercial favors from
countries which, in the nature of things.
can have little or no trade with the
United States. 1t is considered a great
stroke to obstruct commerce with Great
Britain and Ireland, whose people draw
upward of 30 per cent. of the exports
of the United States, and to negotiate
treaty of reciprocity with Venezuela.
whose imports from this country amount
to one-half of per cent. of its total
export trade.
The Mckinley organs made a great
cackle over reciprocity treaty with
Brazil, when the exports of the United
States to all South America. Central
America and the West Indies combined
do not equal in value the exports to
Germany, against whose trade with

Our Candidate For Govrrno~.

warren Co Democrat
Elsewhere is found an article from the
Herald correspondent of this city making
strong argument why Hon. D. 2.
Phelps should be the democratic nomiut e
for governor. Laying aside all feelings
OF local pride we see no reason way War
rem county should not be honored with
this nomination. This county has been
under republican rule for so long that the
memory of man runneth not to the con-
trary, and urging this recognition at the
hands of the state democracy is only tlt
ing tribute 10 the worth and high charac
ter of the candidate. No man has stood
higher in the councils of the party than
Chairman Phelps. No man of such
worth has asked TOR so few favors, nor
has he in any way sought this nominA.
ton. With the dignity of a true
American be has not asked favers.
With the ability of a Douglas he has never
betrayed trust imposed by the party,
nor has he ever failed TO stand as a true
representative of the best elements of
grand party. With courage equal to that
of Grover Cleveland he believes that a
public Office is a public trust and a c,n,
scientious discharge OF bis duty whether
public OF private has been his life motive.
While admitting the worth of other can
didates we give place or precedence to
none. and believe that the Candidacy of
Mr.. Phelps would place Illinois in the
column of triumphant democracy and
that his election would be assured. The
democracy OF Illinois could do itself no
higher honor than to nominate and elect

Pcacocks for Dinner.

What roast swan is to roast goose, such
is roast peacock to roast turkey Many
owners of country houses who keep pea
cocks and let them run wild and nest in
their woods and strawberries take little
trouble either to fatten or cook the pea

take more pains to rear these birds for the
