Reciprocity and Protection.

hSClpi oSlIy oiiN L loISSIioAl'
At the annual dinner of the Boston
Merchants Association, Congressman
Burrows, who by request represented
Secretary Blaine, spoke of the full
meaning and intent of the policy of
reciprocity. Among other things he
said:
| have heard it urged in some quar-
tiers with more yehemence than knowl-
edge that this doctrine of reciprocity
as declared and applied was an aban-
donment of the policy of protection
and and acceptance of the tenets of
free trade. Nothing could be more
prepostefous: There is not the remot-
est suggestion of free trade in it. 1t
is fair trade, not free trade. We adj
NIT free of duty into the American
market the things we,do not, or can
not produce, like, tea and COTE, or
things which, Like sugar, cannot be
produced in sufficient quantities to
supply the whole market, and in re-
turn therefore secure reciprocal adj
vantages in the markets of the coun-
tries supplying these articles. Reel
procity strikes down no American in
dustry, cripples no American enter
prise. Reciprocity is not antagonistic
to protection. Protection guards the
home market; reciprocity reaches out
to the foreign markets. Protection
establishes, builds up and maintains
American industries; reciprocity opens
new outlet to the surplus products
of our farms and factories. Protec-
ton to American labor; reciprocity en-
larges the demands for the fruits of
that labor, thereby insuring uninter-
rupted employment. In word, pro-
lection is defense, reciprocity is con-
quest. There is, therefore, no aban-
donment of the doctrine Of protection,
but rather an increased demand for
it's maintafnance. Under the policy
of protection and reciprocity, coupled
with that other policy, now happily
inaugurated, of building up our mer-
chant marine, and establishing swift
and certain mail communication with
the South American republics, there
will be opened to us new market for
the surplus products of farms and
factories. We shall relight the seas
of the globe with the stars of our flag,
and the American Republic will hold
its place in the van of marching en-
pire.
The results of this policy in it's par
tial application have already been
shown; it's triumph will be more con
spicuous before the close Of the fiscal
year.

A little common sense and practi-
cal experience in business, observes
the Kasson Republican, teaches a man
that it takes pork, POTATOES OR other
produce, full dollars worth, to get
dollar, whether that dollar be dug out
of the bowels of the earth in the shape
of gold, or whether it is the represent
ative dollar printed by Uncle Sam. If
man has 1000 bushels of No. hard
wheat he can get 800 hard dollars for
it at present prices, without paying
any interest on the money, but the
man who don't have the wheat or any
other equivalent, can't even borrow
the money, no matter how much per
capita there may be in circulation; nor
could he get it if the government
printed it by the cord, and loaned it at
2 per cent. You can't get something
for nothing unless you beat your cred
itOrs, ..

F. |. Whitney Talks About Min.
nesota..

Mr.. Il. |. Whitney, general passenger
agent of the Great Northern railway
company, in an interview with re-
porter of the st. Paul Dispatch re-
Gently said: "The splendid crops of
Minnesota and the Dakotas last sea-
son are being talked about over the
land, and continuous and widest pub
licity should be given to this fact. 1t
is not hard matter to attract people
to a prosperous country. The past
year was not only prosperous one,
but this year promises to be equally
as good, If not better. Let us get the
people into our tributary territory and
factories and industries will be forth
coming and our cities grow. The time
will come when investments in prop
erty in inland cities will be considered
more secure than in those on the sea-
board. Suppose Italy had sent some
of her big iron ships into Boston har-
Dor or into Long Island sound, or up
the Delaware or Potomac, what would
mortgages on buildings in scores of
cities and towns be worth? Surprising
Chill should bring her long guns to
bear on San Francisco or Puget
sound cities, would not property sud-
denly depreciate in value?
Minnesota is in the center of the
continent; there is no danger from
armed foes from foreign lands; no race
problem to solve, as in the new manu-
featuring states south of the Ohio riv-
or. Give us the consuming popula-
ton, and iron mills and clothing fac
tories, and wagon and carriage shops,
and farm implement factories, and
linen and cotton mills, and a hundred
other industries would come as natur-
ally as the flowers terminate and grow
under the gentle influence of the rain
and sunshine of the spring time. To
force industries before there is con-
Stunning population is not profitable,
as is evidenced by empty buildings
and idle machinery in many western
town and city. We have millions of
fertile acres awaiting cultivation and
resources unlimited of timber, iron
and stone. We have the finest water
power privileges in the Union. The
farm, factory and raw material can be
brought into close association. There
never was a better time in our history
to attract attention to our opportuni-
ties and resources. Look the country
over and there is little doing or in
sight. Down in the Virginias, where
rocks and hills could be capitalized a
year or two ago, houses and lots can
scarcely be given away. The same is
true of Tennessee, Georgia and Ala
bama. It is quiet in the recently ac-
tive sections of Kansas, Colorado,
Texas and Utah. There is nothing
doing on Puget sound, and the bot
tom has dropped out in California.
The tide of immigration and invest
ment must move in some direction, or,
like smoke from fire under ground,
break out somewhere.
"Let us make Minnesota the storm
center of growth and development for
the next few years. Good fortune
stands knocking at our door; shall we
open it,"
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1892-01-27

Considerable misunderstanding ex-
lists concerning the rules governing
village elections in Minnesota. In
some places they are conducted under
the Australian law passed by the last
legislature, although there We're a
number of officers who were elected
under the old law. Attorney General
Clapp has been asked relative to this
matter and made the following state
ment, which may be taken as final:
AN impression seems to prevail that
the so-called Australian election law,
passed at the last session of the legis-
lature, applies to the election of vii
lage, township and school district
officers. This is a false impression, as
the law does not apply to the election
of any of said officers"
