Notwithstanding the decline IN

have risen from G 100000 IN 1855 to

products from 6 43,O00,0OO in 1860 to

are the results of the so-called free
trade, which Golden assured his de-
iudcd countrymen would make ag-

in the world little foreseeing that its
direct results would be that the manu-
tacturers would have to fight for

TO RESTORE RECIPROCITY.
Efforts Now Being Made In Congress d
That End.

That End.
The farmers and millerx of the nortl..
west are pctitioning congress for
restoration of the reciprocity laws. the
millers OF Minnesota being particularly
active in urging Mr.. Tawney to use hi.
efforts TO bring about some legislation
on the subject. AS this could be done
without going into the details of tarif,
legislation the subcommittee is consid.
ering the matter, and il is probable that
n series OF hearings will shortly be
given the persons who are especially
active in pressing the subject upon the
consideration of congress. The idea
now in contemplation is to restore
the reciprocity laws with raw wool IN
the place of sugar, thereby compelling
the countries which now send us large
quantities Of their wool to give us somo
reciprocal trade benefits in return for
the privilege.
with ali the sneers which the demo-
Gratis have offered concerning the re-
publican reciprocity policy, they have
as yet failed TO explain to the country
why il is that the trade with the South
American countries has fallen off more
than s1O,OOO.OOo since the reciprocity
policy was abandoned. IL Mr.. Clevc.
land shall have an opportunity to sign
the emergency revenue bill, which
places duty on raw wool, and he shall
decline to sign that measure, il would
be interesting to know if he would also
decline to sign "A bill exacting reciprocal
trade privileges from the countries that
are dumping upon this country millions
of dollars worth of wool in competition
with the wool growers of the United
States. \ MEMBER OF CONGRESS.
