L, D. Richards, Chairman Walt M. Rkf.vx, Secretary. The Blaine reciprocity idea has been formulated in an amendment to tariff bill offered by senator Hale, which au thorizes the president "without further legislation, to declare the ports of the 'United States free aud open to all the products of any nation of the American hemisphere upon which no export duties ace imposed, whenever and so long as Washington . . ..lnl nat0n shall admit to its ports, free Wayne 5 1 ' ' . or lu national provincial, municipal ana other taxes, the cheif articles which we export, and which are mentioned specif ically in the section indicated, or such other products of the United States as may be agreed upon." It is a simple and practical measure, and will grow into one of the certain principles of the Republican party.

Here is a dispatch that tpeaks for itself: 'PiTTBBCiWH, June 10. The Tin Plate Record ed.torially claims that every tinned plate importer in the country hss been assessed $10,000, and the English syndicate who controls the manufactories and mines in Monmouthshire and Corn wall has augmented this sum to nearly one million dollars in order to defeat the tin plate clause in the McKinley tar iff bill." If it proves to be true that this enorm ous sum nas ieen raised to defeat a clause in the tariff bill now before the senate, it will not be the first time that English manufacturers have resorted to' these methods to influence American legislation. For years they have kept a sharp eye on this country, and whenever they see the'r interests imperiled by any proposed protective legislation they hasten to advance the "sinews of war" to ward off the danger. The money spent in this way finds its way into many channels. A great part of it is used in subsidizing the press, which is relied on to mould public opinion in favor of a tariff policy that will be acceptable to the British manu facturers. The tin manufacturers are not the only ones who resort to these methods of influencing legislation ut Washington. Not long since the linen manufacturers of Belfast organized an association whose avowed object is to do all it can to preyent the raising on the duty on linens. At the present moment the agents of these Belfast linen manu facturers are working iu the United States like beayers. Evidence of their work can be disco vered in the articles thet are constantly appearing in the news papers in regard to the proposed duty on linen. And so it is all along the line. Eyery British interest that is threatened by our tariff legislation is closely watching con gress. The enormous sum that the tin plate manufacturers are said to be will ing to spend is but a small amount of the money that has been raised in Eng land for similar purposes. All of which 6hows that John Bull thoroughly realizes how important it is for him to fiTht pro tection with all the means at 5 com mand, lie knows that there will be no chance of his capturing the richest market in the world if he is beaten in his fight against protection. Hence his willing ness to plunge his bands deep in his pockets to pay the expenses of conduct ing a war against the policy of protect ing American industries.

An anti-package house meeting of cit izens was held at the M. E. church, Sat urday night, and again Monday night. Mayor Gibbs presided at both meetings and E. O. Gardner acted as secretary. The feeling of those present is best ex pressed by reproducing here the resolu tions passed at the Monday night meeting: Wuere's, It is currently reported that certain persons contemplate the opening of a house in Villica tor the sale of in toxicants in original packages, and "Whereas, It is the sense of this meet ing that such a house would be injurious to public morals aud an outrage to pub lie sentiment, be it Resolved, That we hereby express our disapproval of the opening of such house, and pledge ourselves to resist it by all lawful means. And be it further Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the man who drinks intoxi cants for other than medical purposes is as reprehensible as the man who sells it and that he should be held to be as re sponsible at the bar of public opinino. for the injury done by the traffic and be it further Resoleed, That we invite the co-oper ation of all good citizens in the enforce ment of all exhisting laws against drunk ennes9 and the liquor traffic. J. F. Campbell, C. K. Kennedy, II. S. Lott, Committee. Many opinions as to the manner of op posing the sale of liquors in the town were given, but all agreed that the institution just started was in opposition to the wishes of a great majority of our people. A large number of those present signed their names to a paper agreeing to oppose, in every lawful way, the progress of the house. The following committee was then elected to take in charge the work of prosecuting the violations of the law: F. F. Jones, C. K. Kennedy, 3Irs. Ellen Hadley (Pres. of Y. C. T. U.), J. F. Cambell, D.
