why folks should ever say ''blind as a

W,suiNGroN, May 23.--Secy. Blaine's
trip to New York has no political signiti-
cance. The statement that he goes over to
see his new granddaughter only partly ex-
plains the reason for the journey. The

serious, and he goes To New York for the
purpose of consulting specialist in dis
eases of that character. He expects to be
absent couple of days only,

of questions regarding reciprocity between

Some of these answers deal in plain Ian

given European houses by American mann
facturcrs, who bcstow profitable agencies on
them in preference to aiding in building NJ

acquired reputation here have been

flooded with them, to the serious damage
Of the wcll-made American goods
This is one result of encouraging En-
ropcan houses, who seek invariably to add
to the trade of their own countries when
ever possible. Firearms with American
brands, but made in Spain, are sold here
The general opinion of American bust

good thing, but they fear that American
