The last straw to which the republic
ans cling is reciprocity. They are
afraid to preach McKinleyism or the
force bill, but they come down heavy on
reciprocity. Even President Harrison,
who did not believe in it originally, now
dwells on its beauty with great fervor.
His letter Of acceptance contains a jug
gle Of figures on the subject calculated
to deceive the voter who does not study
the question for himself. When sub
jected to comparison and analysis, how
ever, the reciprocity argument quickly
goes to the wall.
Mr.. Harrison impressively points out
to us that in fifteen months our trade
with countries with which we have re-
ciprocal relations increased 23.79 per
cent, or $4,000 600. Sounds big, doesn't
it2 But let us look further into our
commercial statistics. We have no
reciprocity with Great Britain but in
the twelve months, not fifteen, ending
June 30, to the United Kingdom alone,
we increased our exports of corn $12,-
l25.S67, or more than &C per cent. In
the same time, to the same countries,
we increased our shipments of wheat
541,423, SOB, OF nearly sc per cent.
There was an increase of Sl3,4 69, 1868 in
wheat flour. In all these articles, the
export of which is so important to the
ag~ricuiturists Of this country, there was
a loss OF export to South America.
South America took from US 81, DOS, OTIS
moro in meat products than in 1896. 81.
The increase of our exports of bacon to
the United Kingdom alone amounted, in
twelve months, to S1,Oll,S5o. There
was Il decline in the exports of hams of
nearly a million, and Of lard of more
than 100000, and while we were pick
ing up Il increase of 81 100000 in South
America, We were losing So, 72O,S14 with
our former customers in Europe, due
to adverse operations Of the Mckinley
law. An so IN through the list. While
we were gaining that wonderful % rs
per cent IN South America our exports
OF refined sugar to the United Kingdom
fell off nearly 100000 and our cotton
exports to China nearly 81, 5OO,O 600.
While our total trade with Brazil in
creased S2,0OO,OOO under reciprocity our
exports Of cattle alone to the United
Kingdom were almost S., 10000, an in
rease Of IL per cent.
But reciprocity is a great thing-for
South America. We took in 1891 go
s~68,OOO,00O moro Of goods from South
America and the other countries with
which we have reciprocal arrangements
of any kind than we did the year before.
and the aggregate or net increase of the
value OF their purchases from us was
1924, SOB. While we were trying to pe
S2,OOO,OOO out OF Brazil she was getting
US to take $56, 836, 900 more than We took
the year before. Brazil may grow rich
under such an arrangement but not the
American farmer who sells his surplus
products in the European market, az
before Brother Blaine's scheme to catch
votes was invented.

OUR eastern contemporaries should
take no stock in Carter's claim that
Montana will vote for Harrison. The
claim is preposterous. The republicans
OF this state were oil for Blaine. They
never wanted Harrison, and they have
wanted him less than ever since he was
thrust upon them. Many hundreds of
them will vote the peoples ticket to re-
buke the methods by which he secured
a denomination, and hundreds of others
will support Cleveland. Carter's talk
OF confidence in Harrison's ability to
get this state is all a blind to cover his
senatorial still hunt. Montana's cleo
toral vote will be for Cleveland.

and AYERS that Helena has thereby been
injured as a candidate for the capital.
If that is the case, then Anaconda.
Deer Lodge and Bozeman have been
likewise injured, for the counties of

mined to present no candidates for state

to us that in view of these facts the

the ground.

FRUIT WILL BE HIGH.

The State horticultural Socisty Disc uses
the Use of Sulphur.
The State Horticultural Society held
It's monthly meeting yesterday afternoon
at the rooms Of the State Board on
Suffer street. Reports from members con-
corning the fruit crop showed generally
fair crop Of peaches in the interior and
light along the coast. The pear crop IN
parts Of the northern belt and in the San
Joaquin Valley was reported heavy, but
light in other sections. Apricots were re-
ported as being plentiful, bat the crops oil
cherries, plums and prunes light. Inc
grain crop was reported to be very heavy IN
ynuny High Iarteaa of fr"'f So
the coming season were predicted, as crops
in many parts Of the country were Injured
by the recent storms.
Secretary pro TEN. Leonard Coates read
paper on packing fruit for shipping TO the
East. and one on the abuse Of sulphur IN
drying fruit. The question as TO whether
it was likely to benefit or in1ure California
reputation caused considerable discussion
The prevailing opinion was that the market
called mostly for bleached fruit, but that
the public needed education In regard 10 1t
in order TO know the difference between
sulphured and unsulphuIed. Coates held
that growers sulphured fruit at the expense
Of the favor. and though the process i'm
proved It's appearance, IL Injured 1t IN the
estimation of consumers.
The society recommended more general
use Of eVapOTators, whereby better quality
Of fruit could be produced, which would be
light in color without use OF sulphur.

- MILIIoN YERDICT.

m, NJ Norcross verdict is of moment
~ reason of the amount Of dam
o~e. awarded but also because 1t bids falr
eIood IN other suits in which the mill
liners Of Nevada win be called upon for
an accounting. Everybody knows that for
the past twelve years the COmstOck mines
have radically had no owners. They
have Teen worked for the benefit OF mills
which have enriched their proprietors. The
ni,l-oyners have held stock enough in the
mines with the proxies obtained in Pine
street 10 give them control Of the property,
and every now and then they have levied
assessments on the stock IN the mining
companies. A few surviving stockholders
in the latter have elamored from time 10
time for a share Of the profits which the
mills were making by treating their ore.
But they have not made much head
way till now. At present the mill
owners possibly run some risk OF being
obliged to divide.
The case will now go to the Supreme
Court, and it is not easy to predict
its action. AS a general rule stockholders
in n corporation are bound by the acts
of their trustees so long as they are
elected according to law and do not exceed
heir powers. If stockholders believe that
they are being WTOnged by the trustees
their remedy is TO remove them at the next
election and 10 Put men in their place who
viii administer the property fairly. If the
stockholders allow election after election 10
pass over without removing them it is as
sumed that they are satisfied. 1t has hap
pened more than once that minority Of
stockholders have had reason 10 believe
that they were being wrongpd By the ma
jority which had control CT The enterprise,
/ but they have rarely succeeded il getting
! relief from the courts, for the simple reason
| that Judges have shrunk from undertaking
! 10 supervise the management Of industrial
enterprises.
The only safe way Of working quartz
mine is to combine mine and mill in one
ownership. Dividing the two is like letting
| one man own the head and shoulders OF I
| horse while another man owned his hnC
! qual ters. Where they arc in separate
! ownership the mine viii always Try TO &c
/ its ore milled SO as to yield the lsTges
! possible preft TO itself and the least pos
| sible profit to the mill, and the mill, IL ne
| carefully watched, will try 70 take all tht
! profit and leave nothing for the mine Tha
is what has happened at the Comstoek. anj
thus far the miu-owners have had the bes
Of the fight. We shall now see whether tn
! Hale-N0rcr0ss verdict is going to effect
! change.
