Springfield Republican.
James O.. Blaine will be longest and most
honorably remembered for his earnest in
sistence that the United States ought to

letter which he wrote to Congressman Nc
Kinley, nineteen years ago. that is we'll
worthy Of reproduction, as follows;
1T is a great mistake to take hides from
the free list, where they nave been for 30
many years. II is a slap in the face OF the
South Americans, with whom we are trying
to enlarge our trade. 1t will benefit the
farmer by adding S to 8 per cent to the
price OF his children's shoes. 1t will yield
a profit TO the butcher (Beef trust) only.
the last man that needs 1t. The movement
is injudicious from beginning to end-in
every form and phase. Please stop 1t be-
fore 1t sees light. Such movements as this
for protection will protect the republican
party only into speedy retirement"
The truth of the position then taken by
Mr.. Blaine Is more generally realized by
republicans today than IL was then; but,
despite the wise efforts made by Eihu
Root, when secretary of state. to bind the
republics OF the continent more closely to-
gether, our progress in that work has been
less tha It ought to rave been. BY right
of p~ropinquity the mills and the merchants
of this country ought to be supplying our
neIghbors to the south with the goods they
need more fully than is the case. Our peo-
pie must learn to cater directly and intel
ligently to the trade OF South America, and
we make discouraging slow progress in this
field

Bruno OF Omaha, quoted by the Washing

attention was called to the efforts of some
persons to prevent the Installation of a bar
in a new workmen's club in Middlewich,

following year to S52, and the next year to

going to Norwich for amusement, and IL
was to counteract the mischief caused by
these visits that the club was started. but
no sooner had the novelty OF the club
worn off than the men resumed their old
habits.

In the blue book on Foreign Rela-
tons made public by the state depart
ment last week appears some corre-
spondence showing that on July IL, 1906,
Assistant Secretary Bacon made inQui-
ries OF the Italian ambassador regarding
the status of an American girl who
should marry an Italian nobleman.
Officials of the State department posi-
lively deny that the Interrogation
had any reference to the prospective
marriage of the duke of the Abruzzi and
Miss Katherine Elkins, that international
romance having not been started when
the inquiry was made. Any specific
statement as TO the persons then inter-
ested and whose marriage was probably
under consideration is refused by the Of
ficials.
1t is known that later. when the court
ing of the duke of the Abruzzi was APP
preaching a crisis that Senator Elkins re-
quested friends In Russia to ascertain
and advise him what would be the status
of his daughter If she married into the
royal family. He was notified that the
marriage would be considered m~organatic
unless the italian Parliament could sub
sequently repeal its legislation. leaving
the marriage in the same position as IL
the act of recognition had not been
passed.
1t is understood here that Senator Ell
kins did not make any request of the
State department to ascertain for him the
status of American women marrying
either a member of the royal family or
an italian nobleman. but had the investi-
cation conducted by one of his personal
friends at that time in Rome.
