Reciprocity VS. Free Trade.
From the Baltimore American.

A communication was sent to the
Senate on Monday from the State De-
partment in answer to a resolution
asking for q statement of the practical
effect of the reciprocity negotiations.
when it is considered that none of the
reciprocity treaties have been in operation
much more then year, the report from
the State Department must be regarded
as exceedingly gratifying and eneour-
aging, In all the countries which ac-
copied the reciprocity overtures of the
United States, with the exception OF
San Domingo, there has been a marked
increase of trade with tia United
States. In San Domingo, since the
treaty was signed, there has been unive1-
sal financial depression, but the trade
Of Great Britain has suffered more even
at that point than our own.
In the other countries to the south OF
MS, as the American trade has increased,
that of Great Britain has fallen of,
illustrating clearly the practical wisdom
of the reciprocity policy of the present
administration. This has been accom-
plished while the conditions, aside from
the reciprocal agreement, were unfsvor-
able, the trading being done for the most
part in foreign vessels; but the Rcpub-
lcan policy of reciprocity is tar more
comprehensive, and in a short time there
will be an abundance of American vessels
for the carrying trade, which will give
to this country all the facilities now
possessed by Great Britain. The time,
moreover. since the treaties went into
effect, has hardly been sufficient for the
interests involved to get thoroughly
accustomed to the new state of affairs,
and It IS really remarkable that so much
has already been done to build up the
trade with those countries.
Greater than the above, however,
is the showing with regard to the ad-
mission of American products to European
countries under the operation OF the re-
ciprocity provision of the Mckinley bill.
These countries would have been her
metically sealed against American pro-
ducts under the tariff measures framed
by the Democrats when Cleveland was
in Office. as Lord Salisbury says about
England, they would have robbed the
country of the only means OF ne
eotiation for share of the worlds COM
merce, by granting inestimable priv
ileges without anything in return.
Foreign nations would not admit our
products so long as we were helpless,
but as soon as they became convinced
that they could be made to suffer
through the Mckinley bill they gracefully
yielded. ,
1t is not likely that the American
people will surrender these substantial
advantages in exchange for the empty
free trade proffers of the Democrats.

Good Old Democratic Times.

Mr.. Joseph D. Taylor: can rememb,
very we'll when l was a boy that the
neigbbors used TO gather around my
fathers Preside and talk about their
mortgages and debts. he did a good
deal of business, and it was very COM
mon occurrence for them to come there
and talk about such matters. There
was more poverty among the people,
more property sold by the sheriff, more
suffering and want IN those days than
have ever seen since. Eggs sold at 4
cents dozen, oats at 12t cents a busheI,
corn at % cent?, wheat at 374 cents and
vegetables would not sell at all.
Whtn | was boy we hauled wheat to
the canal, distance of 40 miles, and
sold our wheat at 37i cents bushel, and
l can remember the time when there
was absolutely no market at all for wheat.
| know that my father had a very large
crop OF wheat, several hundred bushels,
and was absolutely unable to sell it at
any price, and many farmers let their
wheat rot in the field. 1t was the same
with apples and potatoes; there was
absolutely no mai et for them. We had
two large orchards on my fathers farm,
very good ones, too. and remember
that at one time we picked one hundred
barrels of splendid appleo, the choicest
that we could select, aud pat them IN
new, clean barrels, but we could not sell
them anywhere, and those apples rotsed.
I think few OF them were used in making
vinegar.
