The accident occurred At the tlopot An

thought, by the failure Of the al bralog

and three cars, including two matl
coaches, one express ear, and connhi-
nation smoker and baggage car, left the
track while running ct a terrific rate.
The ladies' coach and three through

The Eaemies of Reciprocity.

The report that Cleveland and
Gresham, without waiting for Con-
gress to assemble and discuss the
merits OF the question, will, II posi-.
BILE, break the reciprocity treaties
with Brazil and With Spain, the lat
ter covering our trade relations with
Cul and Porto Rico, is not improb-
able, in view of the tendencies and
purposes OF the present administra-
tion. Such indecent haste is calcu-
lated to unsettle that confidence in
the leadership OF the United States
which all other nations had begun to
feel as result OF the consistent anS
broad policy Of Harrison and Blaine.
II a purely commercial arrangement
is to be disturbed merely to crafty
party spite, and IL other nations are
to be driven into unfriendly
attitudes toward US as a re-
suit OF wanton and arbitrary
changes OF our attitude toward them,
1t will soon be difficult to get them
to make treaties of any kind with us.
The Democratic party seems To be in
cu,ably affected with the desire to
turn back the hands Of the clock OF
time twenty-five years. Spite work
Is poor substitute for statesman
ship, and its insane desire to undo
the work OF the Harrison administra.
tion is purely spite-work on the part
OF the Cleveland regime.

Exports Of Farm pro,iucts.

An editorial in the St Louis Re.
public begins as follows:
"The steady decline OF our exports
OF farm products Is telling the story
month by month OF the Mckinley tar
itf's ruin Of the American farmer.
Though wheat is lower than ever be-
fore, foreigners cannot buy it because
they are not allowed to send us the
articles Of universal necessity that
our people want, that the people OF
Europe would be glad to give in cx-
change for our wheat, corn, beef,
pork and cotton"
This is the favorite theory OF GER
tain rampant free trade organs. IL
was always manifestly absurd, hut
never before perhaps SO clearly SO as
now. The most remarkable and
widely discussed feature OF our com.
merce since the Mckinley tariff took
effect has been the cnolm nous increase
In exports which occurred during ths
first year and a half OF Its existence.
Whilo the increase may not have
been altogether due to that measure,
yet 1t anni;ailated the argument that
the new tariff was restricting sales to
foreigners.
Two indisputable facts from pres
ent conditions demonstrate tho
falsity of the Republics statements.
First, foreigners were never before
sending us so many goods as now.
During the eight months ending with
last February our imports were
nearly 500, 900, 900 greater than In
the corresponding period of the year
before, and more than 800, 0OO, 900
greater than the average Of the five
corresponding periods in preceding
years. Since February the increase
In imports has continued.
The second fact is that our exports
of farm products have not fallen of
except as compared with the abnor-
NAL year of 1892. This will appear
in the following figures:
VALUE OF EXPORTS cs FARM PRODUCTS.
Average of :
Eight months corresponding
February last preceding.
Cattle ........,. N95ah.iA l5430,316
Wheat and -four. ll9.6a4,s57 .oa3
Meat products.......... ssisS.asi 7sasi .ssi .sss
Tohacco...,.......... T,G4,36s 1636i, ,2lJ
Only in cotton has there been any
considerable decrease, and that Is due
to the light crop of last season. On
the other hand, the exports OF wheat
and flour were larger during the nine
months ending with March 81 than
In any other similar period in our
history except last year.
The Mckinley law has not re-
stricted exports by shutting out for
eign goods, because they are coming
into our market under it in larger
volume than ever before. And we
know that it does not curtail exports
OF farm products from the simple
fact that their volume is and has
been far above the average. New
