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

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

nearly thirty years now the United
States has had the great advant
age of a protective tariff, llappik

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

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.

WILL CONGRESS AWOCRN.
Resolution for Recesa
November lO.
Until
Warhjxqi on, August 29. 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.
The suggestion that the presi
dent call an extra session of con
gress he did not approve. It would
imply a censure and reproach
upon congress for failure to end
the business before it. Congress
has the power to take such a re
cess and proceed with business
