believes IN Recinrocity.

The New York Sun is probably the
ablest Democratic paper in the United
States, and Notwithstanding the posi-
ton of It's party relative to the McKin-
ley tariff it has had the courage to eX-
press its own opinion, as follows: Tho
full purpose and ultimate significance
of the reciprocity programme conceived
by Nh. Blaine did not at first reveal
themselves to the public mind. Even
the commercial and industrial advan-
tage5 deriyable from such a policy were
net instantly and clearly appreciated.
Still less was the political significance
of a scheme, the most capacious ever
formed by an American statesman since
Thomas Jefferson planned the purchase
of Louisiana, ct once distinctly recOg-
nized. Yet a little reflection must con-
vince US that under the guidance Of Sec
rotary Blaine we have entered on a
course whose fixed and by no means
distant goal is the requirement for the
United States Of not only commercial,
hut political ascendancy throughout the
western hemisphere"

AS might have been expected from a
party that robs labor, the proposed tariff
measure contemplates the raising of
revenue by a system Of fraud, for this
is exactly what the ad valorem method
always has been and always will be
fraud upon the revenue, 4 fraud upon
the manufacturer in this country and a
fraud upon American labor.
The value Of goods III a foreign coun-
try, upon which al valOrem rates Of du-
ties are paid, is always an unknown
quantity. The importers here will buy
from the manufacturers abroad SO as to
secure the lowest possible prices at the
port of shipment, these being the values
upon which the duty must be paid
There is no guarantee that the goods
will be correctly valued abroad, and it
will be impossible for our customs Off
Gals to follow all market quotations.
An importer can always claim that
he bought goods abroad below the
quoted market for spot cash, hence it
will be easy for his invoice to be
fixed. Foreign manufacturers will
be only too anxious to secure our trade
at the outset and to close up our facto-
ries, SO that a cutting Of prices to point
below the value Of American made
goods may be regarded as a certainty.
In former free trade times this policy
was adopted, and our markets were
oyersupplied, in order to create depres-
sion in values and compel our factories
to close. Then when the foreign trade
controls the market prices will reassert
themselves, except that our manufac-
they can afford to make goods. Mean
time American labor can starve or &C
cept foreign wage rates.-American

SPORTING NOTES.

The state board of the Wisconsin
Division League Of American Wheel
| men will meet in Milwaukee January
81, when the place of holding the next
state meet will be decided on. Kipon,
Oshkosh, Madison, Waukesha and
other Wisconsin towns are after the
event and a lively contest for the prize
VIII doubtless result. Ripon is not en-
tltied to the meet, yet there are hun
dreds OF Wheelmen in the state who
would be glad to have the pretty Spring
Lake City secure it again next season.
The cyclers do not forget the pleasant
tunes they had last year and the hos
pltality shown them by the residents of
Rpon. Should the Ripon delegation
make q strong bid for the meet there is
little doubt that they can secure it.
Should opposition come from Madison
and Waukesha the Ripon delegates will
not press their claim. The only set
back at Madison is the lack Of good
track. Efforts are being made to con
struct new halt-mile course at that
place, and if the project carries the
meet may 90 to the capital. Waukesha
would make an excellent place for hold
ing the races. There is good half-miIe
track in the Spring City, and as a side
issue the visiting wheelmen could be
given an outing at Pewaukee Lake

PROGRESS UNDER PROTECTION.
How Agriculture Has Prospered Under Re-
publican Rule.

How A griculture Has Prospered Under Re-
publican Rule.
In 1860, eight manufacturing states
of the east-the six of New England,
together with New York and Pennsyl-
vania-returned an aggregate wealth of
So, 1913, 900, 000 Twenty years after
ward, by the census of 1880, the same
states returned an aggregate wealth Of
SIG, 22S. 600, 600. The rate of increase
for the 90 years was slightly more than
216 per cent.
Let us see how the agricultural states
Jared during this period. BY the census
of 1860, eight agricultural states of the
west-TIlinois. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas.
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and
Wisconsin = returned an aggregate
wealth of $2,271 900, 900. Twenty
years afterward, by the census of 1880
protection all the while in full force
these same states returned an aggre-
gate wealth of $11,2 600, 900. The
rate of increase for the 30 years was
500 per cent, or $50 per cent greater
than the increase in the eight manu-
featuring states of the east.
The case will be equally striking if
we take the Is southern states that
were slave holding in 1860. By the
census Of that year, the aggregate re-
turn of their property was IS, 792, 000,-
600. But $4,000, 900, 900 was slave
property. Deducting that, the total
property amounted to $4,792, 900, 600.
Their aggregate return of wealth by the
census of 1880 was So, 1888, 900, 600.
The rate of increase for the 20 years
was 50 per cent. Consider that during
this period II states of the south were
impoverished by civil war to an extent
far greater than any country had been
despoiled in the wars of modern Eu-
rope. Consider that the labor system
on which previous wealth had been ac-
Quired in the south was entirely broken
up. And yet, at the end OF 90 years,
the southern states had repaired all
their enormous losses and possessed
nearly double the wealth they had ever
known before. Do not these figures in
contestably show that the agricultural
sections Of the country, west and south,
have prospered even beyond the manu-
featuring sections, east and north? And
all this not merely with protection, but
because Of protection!

that protection was unconstitutional

American Taste in Architecture.
Onr domestic architecture is in = $

Our domestic architecture is in sad
state when we look at it from the
standpoint of external appearances;
when people could borrow money to
add all sorts of eXcresences in the
shape of wild looking porehes and ex-
travagant dormers, obtrusive gables
and towers that have been built for
the most part in designs showing the
extreme Of coarseness, So is that in
streets of many of our towns we haue
veritable architectural deliriums, each
builder undertaking to Guido the
others in extreme and exaggerated
effects. These designs in outline,
molding and general detail are as fierce
and prolix as possible, and when it
comes to their painting they scream.
