were the Quickstep, to Cairo; P. W.
Strader, Louisville to New Orleans ;
Tarascon, to Louisville.
The Quickstep took cut a mag
nifcent trip. including a large amount
of freight for the Indiana. She ran
up above the city, rounded to, and
passed down like a locomotive or fly

minutes from the foot of Sycamore
Street, the best time ever made......The
T~arascon was also on her muscle, last
night, and came up from Henderson
in fifty one minutes, beating the time
of the Shotwell and Eclipse. She
was just seven and a half minutes from
the point to the wharf.-the best time
on record..."".....The P. w. Strader
arrived at 10 o'clock last night with
a good start. She added at Humph-

casks of pork and 200 bales Of hay,
and at w. G. Brown & Co.'s a large
lot Of freight.""....The Tarascon left

LUMBER AND .1N.NE,X1TYON.

The speech of Hon John A. Peters lin
in opposition to the proposed change III
the duties upon lumber, was an able pre-
sentation of the difficulty under which the
lumber interest of Maine would labor il
the duty upon foreign lumber were reduced
while internal taxation continues as eat
present. Mr. Peters showed that the lum-
herman is taxed by the government in the
stumpage, labor. supplies, manufacture
and transportation of lumber heavily, and
that reduction of the duties would bring
him into ruinous competition with the
lumber interest of the Canadian Dominion,
where taxation upon this product is very
light He claimed that it was un lust 70
protect our agricultural and other inter
ests against the untaxed products of the
Dominion, for which protection the Maine
lumberman has to pay heavily, and at the
same time expose his business to destruc
ton by reducing the duty which alone en-
ables him to keep the market against the
Canadian producer. The question also
arises whether the provincials shall be
privileged at our expense Shall burdens be
placed upon our people from which they
are exempt? Mr.. Peters contended that
there are grave political reasons why we
should no longer entertain relations of
free trade, or any approach to it, with our
Canadian neighbors. The British North
American colonies are destined, sooner or
later, to become n portion of the United
States. The gravitation toward such an
event is now visibly going on. Our mar
kets are almost necessary to their exist
ence. Although they now contribute about
$1,000 900 annually to our revenues they
can find markets nowhere else. If we re-
lieve them of such taxation they will the
longer remain rs they are. If we con-
tinue our present policy Of taxation, then
annexation, and that too, before any re-
mote period, is sure. Their geographical
position warrants the proposition that the
two countries should be one. The terri
tory of each side of the line is watered by
the same lakes and rivers; connected and
interlaced by the same railways; inhabited
by populations of the same race, of much
the same manners and religion, and en-
gagged in the same business enterprises
and pursuits" In conclusion Mr.. Peters
quoted authorities to prove that the ten
dency of things is to unite British America
to the United States, and that the policy
now pursued by the government is the
best adapted to bring it about.
