BECOMING EBEE TRADERS.
. Reciprocity is nothing more nor
less than free trade under another
' name, and the wider the reciprocity,
the nearer the approach to free trade
pure and simple. . Every additional
article that is put upon the free list
through the agency of reciprocity,
does that much the more to educate
the people up to free trade, and to
popularize it. The Republican par
ty, under the leadership of Mr.Blaine,
is moving along in that direction
slowly, but surely, and if it lives and
foilows out in the lines marked out
by him, it must eventually become a
free trade party, and take position
on that, the very reverse of the po
sition it originally took, as it has
done on other questions.
It came into power as the avowed
champion, for instance, of States
j'ghts and of popular sovereignty.
When it got power it dropped that
anJ soon drifted into the advocacy,
of centralized power which ignored
State lines and State authority, when
they conflicted with national su
premacy, in matters over which the
States once had and always should
have sovereign jurisdiction. "
It has always declared that the
majority should rule and yet it has
never failed when grasping for
power to override the majority by
arbitrary or fraudulent proceedings
such as making new States out of
sparsley settled territories to give
the Republican party a ma
jority in the Senate when
there was danger of the majority it
had being overcome, and to add
strength to their party in the House
of 'Representatives when the people
were electing Democrats to fill
the places of Republicans. And
thus, too, they increased their
strength in the electoral colleges to
defeat-the will of the majority.
When the Greenbacks were is-,
sued the leaders of that party de
clared them the equal ; of gold as
money, and denounced the men who
questioned it as "disloyal," and to
day they oppose all money which is
not of the "intrinsic" value of gold
Gold is now the standard by which
all money must be measured. And
so in other things they stand the
verj antipodes to-day of where they
stood in former years.
Would it be surprising, then, if this
party, the great champion of protec
tion, should develop iq,to a free trade
party? It has travelled further in
that direction in the past twelve
months than the Democratic party
has in twenty-five years, and if the'
Democratic party had gone half as
far on that line as those protection
ists have gone the welkin would ring
with denunciation of the Democratic
free traders. If it had been predict
ed three years ago that the Republi
can leaders would be sounding the
praises of reciprocity in this year of
grace, the preaictor would have
been- pronounced a jester or a lu
natic. 1. Recently Mr. "Blaine has taken oc
casion to tell the public in a letter
written to an Ohio editor how he
stands on the McKinley tariff, and
he substantially says the best thing
about that tariff is that it opens the
way for general reciprocity and will
ultimately result in bringing about
reciprocity not only with Central and
South American countries, but with
European countries against which
the protective tariff is now mainly
directed. He calls -attention to the
fact that m addition to the treaty
with Brazil, by putting German
sugar beet sugar on the free list
we have opened the way for Ameri
can pork in Germany. By put
ting some other German product
on "the free list we may open
the way for American gram, and by
putting something else on the free
list, we may open the way for some
American manufactures or some
thing else, thus getting nearer and
nearer to free trade with Germany.
So with France, Italy, and other
countries, until the protected axticles
will be few and far between. This
is the logical deduction from Mr
Blaine's premises. He is travelling
just as rapidly as prudence will al
low in, the direction of free trade
and if he and his party live long
enough, and nothing happens to
prevent it, they will get there in
time, whether in good shape or not.
MINOS MENTION.
There are three or four Southern
aspirants for the Speakership of the
next House of Representatives. Two
of these, Mr. Mills, o Texas, and
Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, it is said,
have opened their headquarters in
Washington, and are working ear
nestly for the prize which they seek
They are both men of recogQized
ability, both Democrats sound to the
core, both representative Southern
men, and either would, doubtless,
discharge the duties of the office
ably and acceptably, if elected
But it is a question among thought
ful, leading Democrats of both sec
tions, whether a Southern man
should enter the lists for the Speaker
ship, not because he has not a
perfect right te do so, but beeause
from a political standpoint it may
not be prudent. In the next House
the Democrats from the North and
Democrats from the South will be
about in equal numbers, but if a
Southern man be elected Speaker, it
will give the sectional agitators
an excuse to appeal to sectional
prejudice and hold the South re
sponsible for everything that may or
may not be done. In view of these
facts many leading men who have no
sectional prejudice, and among them
some of our tried and trusted South
em leaders, such as Senator "Vance
and ex-Senator Hampton, believe
that a Northern or Western Repre
sentative shoald'be elected Speaker.
In a recent interview Gen. Hampton
freely expressed his -views on this
subject, and added that in his opin
ion "in the last general election we
-suffered as much from Mr. Carlisle's
appointing so many Southern men
chairmen of leading committees as
from any other cause." While prin
ciple must always stand out boldly,
there is such a thing as policy and it
must De recognized by the politician
who would be successful.
We do not know what the strength
of the Farmers Mutual Benefit As
sociation of Illinois is, or whether it
has a general organization through
out the State. It seems to take the
place of the Farmers' Alliance; ' and
to co-operate with it in the mam
In the last Legislature it had three
representatives, who dead-locked the
Legislature so. long in the election
"of a United States Senator. -The
Republicans made every effort to
secure their votes ior the Republi
can candidate but failed," and one - o
them finally voted for Gen. Palmer
which gave the one majority which
he needed, and elected him. We
call attention to this to show .that
this organization does not take much
stock in the Republican party. This
is further shown by the proceedings
of the committee '-which met at
Springfield, Wednesday, in which
meeting they passed several resolu
tions in s reference to State mat
ters ana also resolutions in
favor of the ' election ; of
President and Vice President and
United States Senators by the direct
vote of the people, in favor of a
graded income tax, and also in favor
of the free and unlimited coinage o:
silver, thus putting themselves in
line with the Democracy of Ohio
and of other Western States" which
have incorporated these planks in
their platform. It is pretty evident
from these resolutions that the Re
publican party cannot look for much
support from the men who .belong to
or sympathize with that-, organiza
tion. . -
If the high tariff champions take
as mucn interest in - tne "American
workman as they say they do and
want to protect him ;r trom compel
tition with the "pauper- laborrbf ? Eu-f
rope" as they say they . do, and they
want to4)e consistent, as they should
be, why don't they levy a tariff on
the imported laborers who come to
this country to " compete with the
American. laborer, as well as on the
manufactured products of that labor?
They tax and do 'all they can to
keep out the product which com
petes with him only indirectly and
leave the gate wide open for the la
borer who comes to compete directly.
We don't mean to say they should
do this for we, are not prepared to
advocate the absolute shutting of
the gates, or the imposition of a pro
hibitory tax, which the protectionists
believe in, but we say that to be con
sistent, they cannot tax the work of
the laborer's hahd ,to protect the
American workman from competi
tion with it and let come in free the
laborer who is the most dangerous
competitor the American laborer has
to fear or contend against.
STATE TOPICS.
The Raleigh Visitor remarks that
the splendid order - preserved in
Raleigh last week speaks volumes
for our Chief of Police and his ad
mirable force." This refers to the
order observed during the presence
of the large crowd drawn to- town
by the triple attractions of the Ex
position, the State Fair and Robin
son's circus. It may speak volumes
for' the efficiency of the police, but
it speaks volumes, too, for the good
behavior of the average North Car
olina crowd. But this is character
istic of North Carolina crowds.
We doubt whether there is an
other State in the Union where a
great and promiscuous multitude
can be drawn together, when there
will be less of the rough or rowdy'
disposition shown, and less- use for
the club of 'the policeman. And
another thing may be remarked
which is that while our. people may
not be noted for abstemiousness it
is rare to. find a large crowd any
where where there will be fewer in
toxicated men, which may, in part at
least, account for the general good
order that as a rule prevails on such
occasions in this State. While the
average North Carolinian knows
how to take care ot himself he also
knows how to behave himself and he
does it

A RACE OF NAKED GIANTS. ':
Charaoteristica'of the '.Natives of Western
.Patagonia.
- Letter in Philadelphia Press. '
In Western Patagonia among the
Cordilleras mountains,)-. dwell the
giants of whom so many big stories
have been told. As a matter of fact4
! these Araucanians. as they are call-
ed, are tarely under six feet in height, J
and sometimes reach eight, seven
feet -men - being ' not "infrequent.
Though', mildly disposed, they ad
mit no strangers" to their territory,
fand by stubborn resistance they have
compelled Chili to let -them alone.
Fabulous treasures of gold - and sil
ver are believed- to be stored
away in their mountains, but pros
pectors who have ventured thither
have always - been driven away.
They commonly adorn themselves
with rich . and heavy orna
ments of these precious : metals.
.The greater part of Patagonia be
longs now to the Argentiue Repub
lic, Chili holding by treaty the strip
along the Pacific Coast, which con
tinues its shoestring-like territory for
nearly half the length of South
America. " Most of the country is a
desert waste, cold climate, and con
trasting stronglg with the rich, pro
ductive pampas, or plains of the
southern Argentine. These pampas
are remarkable for the strange illu
sions which beset the eye of the
traveler who journeys over them.
On any bright day a distant thistle
field is as like as not to be trans
formed seemingly into.' a forest, while
a few clumps of grass 'will take on
the appearance of a troop of horse
men. Mirages are constantly in
view, frequently offering a delusive
prospect of water, by which men are
often deceived but'their horses never.
If there is . one characteristic
which generally distinguishes' these
aborigines of the mother continent,
rt is their nakedness. Ja the forests
of the upper Amazon one finds the
tribes, both men and" women, habit
ually wearing no other costume than
that in which they were born. Not
even the breech-clout or apron is
considered necessary. Even in frigid
Terra del Fuego, as has been said,
nudity is the fashion. The human
animal among these people, is re
duced, as nearly as possible, to a
level with the brute, being distin
guished from the beast by absolutely
nothing save the power of language.
As soon as the young are weaned
they are permitted to take care of
themselves, and, at once taking to
the chase, which is the sole purpose
of their elders, they get a living by
hunting for the young of the vicuna
and guanaco, and ffostrich eggs.
However; there isone very notable
exception to this rule of nakedness
found among the natives, of Vene
zuela and Guiana, who. are beyond
comparison the most beautifully
dressed p.ople, civilized or other
wise, in the world. They wear com
plete robes of gorgeous parrot
leathers, head dresses of other bril
liant plumes, and necklaces made of
thousands of lovely beetles' wings
strung together, which adorn very,
effectively their tawny throats. Not
only do they obtain the material for
such garments by hunting, but they
keep and raise parrots and many
kinds of wild birds for the same pur
pose, plucking them regularly once
a year.
