The eminent success which has attended
the Canada Reciprocity treaty is set forth in
the Presidents Message. It.has doubled the
trade between the two sides af the boundry
line. 1t was triumph of liberal diplomacy
and of the modern free trade ideas over the
exclusive policy of former days
The question naturally occurs, why canot
the same policy be eXicnden so as to embrace
the rich and productive islands Of the West
lndes-British, French and Spanish? The
island OF Jamaica would, under suof q sys-
tenn be soon restored to it's former activity
and prodnctiveness, and its trade would be
vastly beneficial to Baltimore. Norfolk, and
other ports in the south The French and
even the Lpanish government might finally
come into the measure, and free trade with
Cuba would be of incalculable benefit poll
tically and commercially. to the United
States, as well as to that island.
SENATOR DOUGLAS In 1888, says the
Clerelander, after long and severe spell of
sickness, Stephen A. Douglas left C!eve'and
on a canal boat in search of home and fans
and fortune. He was then young, poor and
unknown. Twenty three years had passed
away, and he returns to the same city with
a world wide reputation-an abundance of
wealth, and is received by the roar of canon
and the loud huzzas of his party. Energy
and industry will do much for man in this
country.
A HEAVY Loss.-Speaking of Sans losses,
or supposed losses, in the late contest, the
Georgia Federal Union says:
"rhe enemy's loss amounts to nothing
They staked nothing, expected nothing, and
got nothing. Nothing added to nothing is
nothing. Nothing taken from nothing leaves
nothing. Blessed are they that expect no.
thing for they shall not be disappointed
Sans case stands about thus No North, no
South, no East, no West; no honor, no
no dishonor, no offer, no money, no SYM
pasby, no nothing"
