And a camor of flying wheels,

And swift a shot from a rifle sped.

Like a star at night shines faint, far

And the faint. far light draws near,
Where to see us pass she waits, dear lass,
The love of the engineer.
With. a rattle and din along we spin,
And the house runs blithely by;
And shadowed against the light within,
Is the girl II has been my luck to win
And the girl for whom ia die!
For sight, of the train at the windowpane
She watches, my Nell, my dear,
And rollicking past my heart beats fast
She's the love of the engineer!
hold your lives, oh husbands and wives
In the palm of my grmy hand!
But you need not fear whatever arrives
While the stanch old engine onward drives
For here at my post / stand;
And well / know She would have me go
To my death unknowing fear.
Asleep or awake, you are safe for the sake
OF the love of the engineer!

RESULTS OF RECIPROCITY.

The inquiry that has been instituted
by II congressional committee into the
results from the reciprocity agreements
made under the last republican tariff
will not show that in the case of every
country the benefit secured by the
United States was very great, but ii
must show that the aggregate results
was every reason to expect from con
tinuance of that policy great adyan-
tages to both our agricultural and man
ufacturing interests
The greatest gain in our exports I'M
der reciprocity was made with Cuba,
when we secured practically the con-
troll of the market for -four and realized
an increased demand for other articles
on which duties We're materially re-
duced. With Brazil, which entered into
the first agreement, the results were
not so satisfactory as had been hoped
for, but during much of the time while
the agreement was in operation the
trade of that country was unsettled
by political disturbance, besides which
our merchants and manufacturers had
to contend with most vigorous Eu-
ropean competition long strongly in
trenched in the Brazilian markets. The
fact that under the circumstances we
made any progress there must be ac-
cepted rs substantial evidence in ia
vor of reciprocity. Under the arrange
ments with the Central American states,
San Domingo, the British West Indies
and British Guiana there was no very
material benefit realized, but the es-
tablishment of closer trade relations
with all these countries gave assurance
of very satisfactory results in time
The reciprocity agreement with Ger
many had as its most important effect
the removal of restrictions upon the
importation into that country of our
cattle and meats.
The advocates of commercial reci-
procity never expected or professed to
believe that it would Immediately en-
able us to secure the control of the
markets of the countries with which
We entered into agreements. They

BORROWI For NATIONAL DEFENSE
The proposition of Senator Lodge,
that the government shall borrow $780,
100000 to be used in the construction
Of coast. defenses, will probably encoun-
ter considerable opposition. Even some
Of those who believe that defensive
preparations should be entered upon
whether it is wise to increase
the interest-bearing public debt for
this purpose, when the money
required can be obtained by increasing
the revenues of the government, as
ought to be done were there no demand
of this kind. There Is undoubtedly Il
very general sentiment against adding
to the national debt in time of peace
and 1t is questionable whether either
party in congress will be disposed to
assume the responsibility of doing this.
The construction Of coast defenses and
the necessary armament, according to
the contemplated plans, will involve an
annual expenditure of from $SO00,0 900
to $1O,OOO,OO0, II the work should be
pushed with the utmost vigor. There
would be no difficulty in obtaining this
sum by increasing the revenue and
doubtless the general Judgment will be
that it should be raised in this way.
The difficulty, however, is in the demo
cratic opposition to all propositions for
increasing the revenue and perhaps the
president would approve borrowing for
coast defenses in preference to obtain
ing the money by raising tariff duties.
The duty OF putting our seacoast in
defensive condition is imperative and
