PROFESSIONAL CARDS On account of the disfranchising of tbe Mormon* in Idaho it is thought tbe Republicans iu that new State will carry the approaching election by about 2000 majority. Should the legislature be Republican, as antici pated, the friends of McConnell, of Moscow, formerly a member ot the Oregon legislature from Yamhill county, where he was an unfaltering champion of John H. Mitchell's, think he will be one of the United Slates Senators. “Mac” is making a strong fight for tbe position, and ss he is an astute politician, “not afraid of u dollar,” und a maker and keeper of friends, his ohance is not to be sneezed at < Already tbe Idaho Republicans in convention have reaulved that if suc cessful in tbe coming contest, one of tlie aeuators must come from North Idaho—and that’* “where Mac lives.” Should lie be elected Oregon oouid with every confidence look upon him uh a staunch friend, or, in other words, as it» third senator.—{Welcome.

The richer country cannot expect to get oomplete reciprocity in the same amount from the countries leee wealthy, but whatever we should have received would have been clear gain, aud in all future re|»eaja of duties whatever we may be able to get will be clear gain. It is not a question oi getting deliberately to work to estab lish reciprocal exchangee; bill with *11 the duties we have thus far re pealed it has been a question of wheth er we should get soinethiug or get, nothing. “We have chosen, with our ey«* closed, to get nothing. 1 hope now, with our eyes open, that we sb ill id the future choose to get somethin;'. We encounter opposition to this pol icy from those who declare that if we enter into reciprocity of trade with the oouutry we must do so with al! countries, aud thus indirectly bring about free trade. “1 do not see the logic of this, and I am sure that the fact will not prove what is predicted. We may enter in to reciprocity with a nation becau.-<e we find advantage in it. We may de cline to enter into reciprocity with another uatiou because we see no ad vantage in it. “Reciprocity is «imply a policy of circuiustanoe Io be determined favor ably or adversely according as its op eration may make or lose for uh . T o say that becaiu-e we enter into recip rocal relations with one country on one thing we most enter into recip rocal relations with all other conn- tries on all things is to my mind as absurd as to say that if I buy a hou<e to-day 1 must necessarily buy a drove of asses to-uiorrow. All objectiouF ot that kind are, I am sure, unfounded, aud will not stand theteHtof argu ment or practical trial. “Our people do not realize the great fact that if specie payment is endangered iu this country it is lil e- ly to lie endangered by our preseut system of trade with the Latin Amer ican stales. The few millions of gold that have gone out of the country within the last three months have created uneasiness in certain quarters as to our financial position. It is very extraordinary that the loss of three millions from banks in Wall street should lie accounted so serious an event when we have lost a much larger amount during the same p -nod from the condition of our trade with the countries south of us without ex citing the least observation. When our merchants and bankers come to thoroughly appreciate this fact we shall receive aid and influence ltr tbe reform of our trade with a quarter which thus far it has been impossible to enlist.” The large audience listened with the profoundest attention aud the speech met with great approval. William E. Mason, of Illinois, fol lowed, ludoismg in an enthusiastic speech the principles of reciprocal trade. The meeting closed with an earnest speech by Henry Cabot I ,odge advocating a Federal election bill, aud warmug the voters that the Govern ment must protect all of itsciliz ns in the nght to vote. W atkbville (Me). August 29.—A public inane meeting was held to-night, aud after Governor Burleigh had spokeu, President Small of Colby Uui- i versity introduced “tbe leader of the Republican party and the famous ad vocate ot the protective tariff, Hon. James G. Blaine.” Iu regard to national questions Mr. Blaine said: “I wish to declare my opinion that the Uuited States has reached tbe point where oue of its highest duties is to eularge tbe area of its foreign trade. Uuder the benefi- oent policy of protectiou we have devel oped a volumeof manufactures, which in many departments overrun tbe de mands of the home market In the field of Agriculture, with the immense propulsion given to it by agricultural implements, we cau do far more tbau produce breadstuff« aud provisions for our owu people. Nor would it be au ambitious destiny (or bo great a coun try as ours to manufacture only what we cau ootisume or produce only what we can eat We are already, in muny fabrics and in many products, far be yond that; and our great demaud is expansion. I mean expansion of trade with countries ubeiw we cu tiud pro fitable exchanges. “We are uot seeking anuexatien of territory. Certaiuly we do uot de sire it, unless it should coins by the volition of people wbo might ask for the priceless boon of a place tinder the flag of the Union. I feel sure that for a loug time to come tbe people of the Uuited Slates will be wisely content with our preeeut area and uot venture upon auy scheme of annexation. At tbe same time I think we should lie unwisely oouteut if we did not seek to engage iu what the younger Pitt so well termed the annexation of trade. “For nearly thirty years now the United States has had tbe great ad vantage of the protective tariff. By a far longer umbroken period than that its industrial policy has been iu force —since the Federal Government was organized. Happily the great majori ty of our people, without strict regard to party hues, believe that the results to the American people from a pro tective policy have beeu iucalulably beueficeut, aggregating in a quarter of a century national aud individual wealth beyond anything ever dreamed , of before in the history of the world. "I do not mention protection lie cause I intend to speak in reference thereto before this audience. That would be a needless, if not an imperti nent, effort I merely wish to pro claim its victories.
