The splendid results of the reciprocity
arrangementSSthat were made under au-
thority of the tariff law of 1880 are strlk-
ing and suggestive. The brief period
they were in force, in most cases only
three years, was not long enough 10
thoroughly test their great value, but
sufficient was own by the trial to con-
eusiyely demonstrate the Importance
and wisdom of their adoption. In 1882
the export trade of the United states at
tanned the highest point in our history.
The aggregate of our exports that year
reached the immense sum of $1,O30, 27S14S,
a sum greater by 500 100000 than the
exports OF any previous year. m 1873,
on account of the threat of unfr1endly
tariff legislation, the total dropped TO
$S47 665, 1874. Our exports of domestic mer-
chandise decreased 1889 600, 900, but reel
procity still secured us a large trade with
Central and South America and larger
trade with the West Indies than we had
ever before enjoyed. The Increase Oh
trade with the countries with Wh1cn we
had reciprocity agreements was $3,5oO,-
sis over our trade in 1892, and SIG 440,721
over our trade in 1891. The only coun-
tries with which the United States traded
that showed increased exports In 1898
were practically those with which we
had reciprocity agreements. The reel
procity treaty between this country ana
Spain, touching the markets of Cuba and
Puerto Rico, was announced September
l. 1891 The growth Of our trade with
Cuba was phenomenal. In 1891 we sold
that country but 114,441 barrels of -four.
in 1892, 500 IT'S; in 1893, 616,406, and in 1894
662, 24S. Here was a growth of nearly 800
per cent, while our expectations of flour
to Cuba for the year ending June 30 1922
the year following the repeal of the reel
procity treaty fell to 379,S56 barrels,
loss of nearly half our trade with that
country. The value of our total exports
of merchandise from the United States to
Cuba in 1891-the year prior to the nego-
tiaton of the reciprocity~ treaty-Was
$l2, 224,SS8; in 1892, SIT ,953,579; in 1893,
$24, 157 sos; in 1894, $20,125,S21, but in 1898,
after the annulment of the reciprocity
agreement, it fell to only $12,S Col.
Many similar examples might be given of
our increased trade under reciprocity
with other countries, but enough has
been shown of the efficacy of the legis-
|. lation of 1890 to justify the speedy res
toration of its reciprocity provisions. In
my judgment, congress should immedi-
ately restore the reciprocity sections of
the old law, with such amendments, sat
isfactory, as time and experience sane
ton as wise and proper. The underlying
principle of this legislation must, now
ever, be strictly observed. 1t is to afford
new markets for our surplus agricultural
and manufactured products without loss
to the American laborer of single days
work that he might otherwise procure.

And Few Lines on Merchant Marine and
Civil Service.
The soldiers and sailors of the union

so well must not make their lives or con-
dition harder by treating them as suppl
ants for relief in old age or distress, nor
regard with disdain or contempt the ear
nest interest one comrade naturally man
ifests in the welfare of another. Doubt
less there have been pension abuses and
frauds In the numerous claims allowed
by the government, but the policy gov
erning the administration of the pension
bureau must always be fair and liberal.
No deserving applicant should ever suf-
fer because of a wrong perpetrated by or
for another. Our soldiers and sailors
gave the government the best they had.
They freely Offered health, strength, limb
and life to save the country in the time OF
it's greatest peril, and the government
must honor them in their need as in their
service-with the respect and gratitude
due to brave, noble and self
men who are justly entitled to generous
aid in their increasing necessities.

The declaration of the republican plat
form in favor of the upbuilding of our
merchant marine has my hearty APP
prevail The policy of discriminating du-
ties in favor of our shipping, which pre-
vailed in the early years of our history,
should be again promptly adopted by
congress and vigorously supported until
our prestige and supremacy on the seas
is fully attained. We should no longer
contribute directly or indirectly to the
maintenance of the colossal marine pow
er of foreign countries, but provide an
efficient and complete marine or our own

Civil Service Reform.
The pledge of the republican national

! "shall be sustained and thoroughly ana

four wears and will be faithfully observed.
Our opponents decry these reforms. They
: appear willing to abandon The advan-

turn to methods of party favoritism
which both parties have often de
nounced. that experience has condemned
and that the people have repeatedly dis
approved. The republican party earnest

unjustifiable policy. 1t will take no back

do not favor the denomination of

personal considerations. We
think he makes a very fair kind of

do great many things he cannot
do. Besides doing some things
an ideal Governor wouldn't do.
We simply believe that with Gov.
Upham at the head Of the next
Republican state ticket the
Democrats will elect the majority
Of the next state legislature, with
disastrous party results all along
the line, There may not have
been sufficiently good reasons for
the wide spread opposition to the
Governor that exists all over the
state but the fact that it exists is
reason enough for nominating
some other good man. We need

the Republicans can wage an
aggressive fight and not be obliged
to put in the campaign making

NOT PARTICULAR WHO.

Manitowoc Press: The papers
OF the state are giving much space
to the discussion of Governor Up
hams chances for denomination.
Nearly all of the Republican
papers are opposed to giving the
Governor a second term, and
many Republicans there are who
do not hesitate to say they will not
vote for him if he is renominated.
So numerous are these in this
county that, if they mean what
they say, the old timed Democratic
majority would be liable to result.
We now hope to carry this county
for the Republican ticket. We
have good reason to believe we
can do it, but if Upham again
heads the state ticket, it will be
a hopeless task. Our Republicans
would be satisfied with Elliot,
Estabrook, Taylor, Monahan,
Haugen, Scoheld or Kidd, anyone
Of whom would make a good
Governor. They want a man
though with ability enough to fill
the position.

Rheumatism and Kidney troubles

consin and three years in Europe,
during which time he has treated
from two to three thousand patients
with most satisfactory results. He

cities for the last seven months
and has cared for large number
of patients who can testify to the
merits and success Of the Doctor
in this locality. He undertakes
no case unless he is sure of perma-
nent cure Or positive benefit. The
danger in rheumatism is that it
leads to heart failure or Bright's
disease of the Kidneys, and even a
light case may be of much more
serious nature than is generally
supposed. Dr. Mellin has decided
to remain in the twin cities perma-
nently and intends to open up an

dreds are suffering with these
troubles every day who have not

assistance-to such DR.. Mellin

The Hudson Star and Times
has no personal objections to Gov.
Upham Or to his holding the posi-
ton of chief executive another
term. 1t is the tough Shedding
that his denomination would
occasion that we object to. For
some reason he seems to have lost
his grip on the crowd, and it is
eXhaustlng to attempt to elect
anybody without majorities.
General Burnside was good
citizen and a brave soldier, but
when he lost the faith of the army,
duty demanded that he be sacri-
feed for another leader. Major
Upham is undoubtedly as anxious
to make useful, popular COVER
nor as General Burnside was to
make a successful captain. If he
has failed to keep in touch with
his party, the inevitable must
follow, even though his SYM
pathlzers might wish it were
otherwise.
