Akublic mast meeting was held tonight, and alter Uov. Burleigh hrU spoken, President Small oi CKMULnivraitv-. intrriilncpil "t)ie leader of the republican "party and tr e famouri advocate of a proures sive protective taritf policy, Hon. Jas. G. B'aine." In regard to national quests wf Mr. Blaine said : "I wish to oe clare an opinion that the United Stes has reached a point where one of its highest duties is to en Lvge the area of its foreign trade under the beneficent iiolicy of pro tection. We have developed a volume of manufacturing which, in many departments, overruns th demands of the home market. In the field of agriculture, with th immense population engaged in it, we can do far more than pro dr.ee breadstuff's and provisions fcr our own people, nor would it fulfill the destiny of so great a country as ours to mamifacture only what we can consume, and produce only what we can eat. iVe are already in many fa'iric ind in many products tar l yond ;hat, and our greit demand i ex pansion. I mean expansion of .-ade with t-nunttie which ve can and profitable exchanges We are nol askitiu' annexation of ;erritorv. Ceitaitdv we do not de sire it unlet-s it should come by the volition of the pi-oplewlio niighi k the priceless rioon ot a place under the fl:ig of the United States. I feel sure that f-T a long time to come tne peop'e of the United States will be wisely con tent with our present area, ai d not launch upon any scln-me oi annexat'on. At the same tune 1 I think we should be unwisely con tent if we d'd not seek to engage in what lounger so uen lermeo the annexation of ttade. Fur nearly thirty years now the United States has had the great advant age of a protective tariff, llappik 'the great majority of people, with-'-out jtrict regard to parly lines. believe the re-ults to the Ameri can people from a protective policy have been incalculably great, ag gregating in a quarter of a century DaMonal and individual weal h bevond anything ever dreamed ot before in the history of .the world. What I mean to speak upon briefly is the s stew of reciprocity. It is rot in conflict with the pro tective tariff, but supplementary thereto, and presents a field of en terprise that w ill richly repay the effoit and energy of the American people. La-t year our whole im ports from all countries i" the three continents of F'urope, Asia and Africa, and Australia, Canada ami Hawaii amounted in round num iiers to $358,000,000, and our ex ports to all those countries amounted in round number to $529,000,000, 8howit'g that frcm that vast trade we had a balance A 19.000.000 in our favor, equivalent to that amount of gold to our people; but wnen tne ac count closed, instead ot Having $129.MH),000 in our favor, we haci a balance of $13,000,000 against us from foreign trade, we must herefore have lost $142,000,000 in air commerce with countries out ride of these to which I have re- terred. We lost 41,t!00,0(H in Cuba rora which its imports was m0 ,000, and to which our exports were only 11,000.000. I n t he re but He ol rirazll we leu ? u.uou. i KM). Our extHirts I i Hraz'i were 19 i-'.:'('. In vu we lost .; 0 n. 0 ;'. r imports from ! i COO.OjO and our ex-' ic ii-re ' i o xico were ?u,uoii,tuu. m uu all our imports from he other countries south of us were $21t5,0O0,OOO; our exports to them were $74,000,000. The bal ance mminHt us in our trade with J these countries therefore was $142,- UOV,"VU, CAWCCUlUg UUi iu.ia tivu. all the rest of the world by $13, 000,0 0. By no hgure of speech can we flatter ourselves in the belief that trade with our American neigh bors is in a prosperous condition. How can this suite of aitairs ue remedied? During the war we were conpelled to tax almost everything, but during the hist 18 years a great change has been made; entirely Ii s tne war taritf heen a'-ohsiied that in the fiscal year ending lune 3 . 1SS9, the articles adini'td free ete cotisiderably more than oiic-thiid of all imports. Tne inevitable tetiden y is, 1 think, toward an increase in the iree list. Out great mistake was niade hen we hegan to repeal the war duties on so large an amount of imports. Any nuty repealed wa9 a favor and advantage to the exporting country and we have asked noth ing in return. Instead of this course (which I must say was ont: of carelessness and wastefulness by both political parties) every repeal of duty should have beeu preceded by a most thorough in vestigation, and wherever it was found practicable to export any i thing from the United States and thus establish reciprocity of trade i. bliuuKi have been done. It is not a question of setting deliberately to work to start a re ciprocal exchange, but with all the duties we have thus far re pealed it has been a question of whetiier we should get something or nothitig. We have chosen with our eyes closed to get nothing and 1 hope now with our eyes open that we shall in the future choose to get something. We encounter opposition to this Kiic3' trom ihose who declare that if we enter into any reciprocity ol trade with one country we must do so with all countries, and thus, indirectly biing about complete iree iraue. 1 do not see the logic in this. We may enter into recip rocity with one nation because we Und. soiue advantage in it. We may dechne' to enter into recipro city with another because we can ee no advantage in it. Reciproci ty is sititplya policy ol ciicutn- slince, and to be determined favorably or adversely, acvutdii g is it cpcratiou may make or lose tor us. KECiritocrrv measures.

A resolution introduced to day by -Senator Edmunds providing for a re ess of congress irom Septem ber 19 to November 10 is a subject of w ide comment. To an Aseoci uteu Press reporter Edmunds said i hat he offered the resolution on his own motion and responsibility. It eeemed to him due to the pub lic interest in view of the large docket of important measures re ported from the committee pend ing before the senate that all the available time between now and the 4th of March next should be utilized in discussing and dis posing of them.
