Three years ago some cheap Am.
eriian blouses were imported, and
hist year the greutcr part of the Eng

went to America. One English firm
aloue sold American blouses for
women to the value of 57,000. This
wes done notwithstanding the fact
thi t the American manufacturers
would not look at small orders and
would ouly do business with the
largest jobbers.
Now that they have annexed our

RKCTPR0C1TY WITH CANADA.
Those who reproach the Republi
can party because of Its failure to
arrange a r.ciprocity treaty between
the United States and Canada should
not overlook the fact that the chief
obstacle to such an arrangement con
sists in Canada's peculiar attitude in
maintaining l preferential Tariff in
favor of Ureal Britain. So lonir as

made by Canada in favor of import
Irons the United Slates would be
extended to imports from (Jieal Brit
ain, so that in the u alter of rivalry
for Canadian trade we nhould have
uo advantage over our principal
competitor for that trade. We
would be giving something for
nothing. The Uuiled States would
give exclusive privileges, but would
simply get the privileges of compet
ing ou equal terms with Great Brit
ain for a limited uuiiitar of HrlitU's
only in the Caiiadian market. On
all other product Great Britain
would have an advantage ef 33 1-3
per cent, iu the IV rill' rales over the
United Slates.
The disadvantage to the United
States of that sort of jughaudle reci
procity would be many aud obvious.
As forcibly suited Oy toe " tissuing
toil correspondent of the Philadel
phia "Press," the United States must
inevitably be the loser hy such a
bargain. For example, the Cana
dian products are nearly all agricult
ural, aud the same tilings are pro
duct d iu the Uuited States, which
uiakes a successful reciprocity agree
ment, iu accordance with the Re
publican platform, virtually inisw
sible. The average value per acre of
farming lands of the State of New
York is 36 per cent, greater than the
a vet age value per acre of the adjoin
ing farming lauds of Canada and
there is a proportionate difference iu
taxation. Ttie average rate of wagev
paid to farm hands in the state of
New York is 32 per cent greater
than the average paid for similar
work in Canada. The differences
between other border States anil
Canada also vary largely. For that
reason to admit Canadian farm pro
ducts to compete with those of our
own farmers along the border would
be very unjust and such an agreement
could not la carried through Con
gress. The prospects, therefore, for
any reciprocity arrangement with
Canada are not , very khI, unlets
Canada greatly modifies her position
on the matter.
In short, while titer are many
reasons why Canada should desire
"reciprocity," there are many more
reasons why the United Stales should
not. The proportiot of reasons is
about ten to one.

Loriliaal, the turf man and tobac
conist died iu New York, July 7, of
Bright diaeuse of the kidneys. A
biographer baa prepared this ay nop t
of his appearance ou the Engli h
turf:
Pierre Lor i Hard became famous a
a turfman wheu his colt, Iroquoi
won the English Derby iu liSl
Prior to that but one American
Richard l eu Broeck, had ever tried
lo capture the classic turf even and
his stteuipt wan failure. Mr. Lor-
Hard had Parole iu England at the
same lime and with him won the
City aud Suburban and other im
pcrtaut races. When Iroquois won
the Derby it created a sensation in
this couutry, aud it is an actual fact
(rial in ivemucay lueio waa tan
among turfmen of running Mr. Lor II
lard for the presidency.
It was uot mauy years afterward
that there was a clash IsHween Mr
Ijorillard aud the Dwyer brothers,
whose stables were ihe largest ou the
American turf. Mauy match races
were arranged between them and
invariably the Dwyer won. Mr,
Lorillard was otten repr sented in
these affairs by Drake Carter, which
horse, because ol his defeats, was the
cause of countless losses. In the
course of time the feud between the
Dwyers and Mr. Lorillard became so
bitter that the latter threatened to
drive the former from the racing
game.
It was with Pontiac that Mr. Lor
illard not ouly won the second Sub
urban, but also pocketed a fortune lu
bets, lie backed his horse so heavi
ly that many of the books refused to
put up price against the horse Just
before going to Ihe post. This was
characteristic of Mr. Lorillard, who
was always a big bettor, a plunger in
fait. Iu purchasing the French
stallion Mortimer, Mr. Lorillard
made a sagacious move, for with his
get he came near sweeping the turf
a d sen years ago, especially with
Chimera and Cholulu. In 192 Mr.
Lorillard purchased Lamplighter,
then champion of the turf, for 30,
000 from S. S. Brown, lie also had
two sterling winners in Vestibule
aud David Garrick.
Beiug of an impetuous na'ure, Mr.
Lorillard retired three or four times
from the turf, threatening never to
return but he always came back
In 189G he formed a partnership
w ith Lord William Beresford to ruu
horses on the English turf and incid
entally engaged John Hugglus tu
traiu for the stable. Iluggius' most
recent success was the preparation ol
W. C. Whitney's Volodyovski,
which won the English Derby uot
many weeks ago.
