OUR TRADE WITH BRAZIL.
where the Gold Goes to.

The st. Louis Democrat has the
following article on the above sub
ject:
This country loses in gold every
year about $4,000, 900, consider
able share of which is drawn from
us directly for account OF Brazil,
to pay for the $47, 100000 to $780,
OO0, 900 WORT. of coffee we buysoi
her each year. Last year. stats
tics show that we purchased of her
$47, S59,SI1 worth of coffee. We
sold her about $10,000,0O0 worth
of goods, and of course, had to
pay the balance in gold. The
provoking part of this is that this
gold is sent to England, and is
there invested in the very goods
we ought to sell to Brazil our
selves. England buys our cotton,
makes it into goods, and sells
them to Brazil, She buys our
wheat, manufactures it into flour
and poor -four at that-and sells
it to Brazil. We make better cot
ton goods and better flour than
England does, yet we do not fur
nish Brazil as EXTENSIVELY as we
might with either. We are of the
opinion that the Touring mills,
packing establishments. iron man
ufactories, lumber yards, furniture
factories, match factories, sash,
door and blind factories, together
with dealers in produce, fruit, veg
etables and dairy products, here
in the Mississippi Valley, would,
if the proposed Mississippi Valley
Steamship Line is established be-
tween New Orleans and Rio, sup
ply enough return trade to pay for
the coffee the people Of the Mis-
sissippi Valley consume, at any
rate. The West furnishes $780,
100000 worth of corn, $S0,000,O00
worth of wheat, 100000 worth
of flour, $5O,OOO,O0O worth of
meats, $22,OOO,000 worth of lard,
$32, 100000 worth of tobacco and
$13, 100000 worth of butter and
cheese every year to Eastern ports
for shipment abroad. Now, sup
pose st. Louis inaugurates poll
cy which shall lead to stoppagc of
this sort of thing; suppose We be-
gin by organizing a line of steam
ers to ply between New Orleans
and Brazil, and then Industriously
drum Brazil for a trade. There
are 100000 of peoplein the en-
pire, and they ought to take of US
at least So worth of our goods and
products per head, and in time
they would do SO if persistent
AMI incessant pushing were resort
ed to. The sca-coast cities, by
handling the vast exported pro
ducts of the West and South, and
the equally vast quantities of for
eign goods consumed by the West
and South, have grown immensely
rich and dIctatorial, and now deem
it piece of intolerable imperti-
nence for the West to ask Con-
gress for 4 sufficient circulating
medium to insure the highest good
of the West and South. The
West and South have the magnifi-
cent Mississippi river upon which
to float their products to the sea.
at q far less cost than attends
transit to the Eastern sea0oard.
Let them build one line OF steam
ers after another, and learn to do
their own exporting and import
ing.

The Democrats of Oregon held n
convention and made all their nom
nations before they thought of tho
farmers. When they discovered
their neglect, they were much
alarmed and laid their heads togcth-
or TO correct the mistake. They fl
nally hit upon n happy expedient.
They had nominated an unknown
party by the name of Brown. They
didn't know exactly what his occu-
patton was, but they resolved TO
call him a farmer. So they came
out with loud praises for GARNER
Brown" Others might deceive
them, but honest farmer Brown
would prove faithful. There was
much enthusiasm over Brown, but
finally some rascallY reporter went
over In Browns part of the State to
sec the candidate, and found him
keeping fine store, where he was
selling Kentucky jeans at 100 per
cent. profit. The newspaper nan
reported the fact, and added to it's
fore by copying Browns advertise
ment from n village paper, in which
The agricultural store keeper in
formed the people of his section
that:
I'll try and keep u good supply,
For IL Is always wanted;

You'll not be disappointed.

AN AMERICAN GIFT TO ICELAND.


A festival Of singular interest
will taiSe piacefthis summer. in the
Ear northern island of Iceland.
Christian TX, King of Denmark,
has recently yielded to the long
and ardently-expressed wishes of
the tcelandic people, and bestow-
/ ed upon them new constitution,
which gives to their land an indie
pendent political existence. By
its provisions the ancient Althing,
which plays SO great part in the
sagaS relating to the medieval re-
public, is revived with full legis-
latiye powers and entire control
of the islands finances. This
royal gift is made at a happy
moment, for this year witnesses
the celebration of the thousandth
anniversary of Iceland's original
settlement. Just a millennium
ago, in S74, a few Norwegian Pill
grim Fathers sailed out of one of
the rocky fiords of their native
land, over the icy seas, and estab-
lished themselves under the shad-
ow of Hecla. Their sons founded
in 927 the old Icelandic Republic,
became skalds and saga men, and
left US the early literature of
which the Scandinavian North is
so proud.
These two events = the carly
colonization which eliminated in
the saga age, and the concession
of q new fundamental law, which |
begins q new era in the islands |
political history-are to be cele- |
brated together In all the churches
of Iceland, on the second of next |
August. A few Americans, among
them Mr.. Longfellow, Mr. @. W.
Curtis, Professor Child, of Har-
ward College, Mr.. Bayard Taylor,
and Mr.. +. L. Olmsted, have de-
termined to seize this occasion to
evince the sympathy of our schol-
ars with this intelligent, insular !,
people. They propose to send to
the National Library, at Reykja
vik, the Icelandic capital, collec-
ton of American books. The
Geographical Society
will forward the contributions
from New York. That this gift
will prove acceptable there can be
no doubt. An Icelandic scholar,
now resident il Edinburgh, writes
to one Of the promoters of the
thus: "The Ameri-
cans can send no better present
to Iceland than a collection of
books. Ny countrymen possess
an appetite for reading far beyond
their means Of gratifying."-N Y.

and South? Bound to each other
by a common Constitution, des-
tined to live together under a
common Government, forming
unitedly but a single member of
the great family OF nations, shall
we not at last endeaUor to grow
toacdrd each other once more in
heart as we are already indissolu-
bly, linked TO each other in for
tunes? Shall we not, over the
honored remains of this great
champion of human liberty, this
feeling sympathiZer with human
sorrow, this earnest pleader for
the exercise of human tenderness,
and charity, lay aside the conceal
ments which serve only to perpet-
uate misunderstanding and dis
trust, and frankly confess that OF
both sides we most earnestly de-
sire to be one; one not merely in
political organization; one not
merely in identity of institutions;
one not merely in community of
language and literature and tradi-
tions and country; but, more and
better than all that, one also in
feeling and in heart. Am 1 mis-
taken in this?
Do the concealments of which
l speak still cover anim0sities
which neither time nor reflection
nor the march of events have yet
sufIiced to subdue? I cannot be-
lieYe it. Since have been here
l have watched with anxious scru-
tiny your sentiments as expressed
not merely in public debate, but
in the abandon of personal conf
dence. / know well the senti-
ment of these my southern broth
ers, whose hearts are so iRfolded
that the feeling of each is the feel
ing of all; and see on both sides
only the seeming of a constraint
which each apparently hesitated
to dismiss. The South-pros-
trate, exhausted, drained of her
life blood as we'll as her material
yet still honorable and
true-accept the bitter award of
the bloody arbitrament without
resolutely determined
to abide the result with chival-
rous fidelity; yet, as if struck
dumb by the magnitude of her re-
verses, she suffers on in silence.
The North, exultant in her tri-
umph and elated by success, still
cherishes, as we are assured, a
heart full of magnanimous emo
lions toward her disarmed and
antagonist; and yet,
as if mastered by some myster-
ious spell, silencing her better i'm
pulses, her words and acts are the
words and acts of suspicion and
1istrust.
Would that the spirit of the il
lustrious dead whom we lament
to-day could speak from the grave
10 both parties to this deplarable
liscord in tones which should
reach each and every heart
throughout this broad territory,
'My countrymen, kno1o one an
other, and you will Lore one an
other."

Senator Schurz, or some of his

A building fell at Buffalo, n. Y,
yesterday. The fall killed only
two people, and badly hurt two or
three others. It was not a rickety
old concern of wood, but n nice
four story brick building occupied
for business purposes. It came
to earth without any warning,
though one ought to have been
given to the unwary, as q part of
the rear wall had been knocked
away. The poor little children
will be DULY and appropriately
buried after a Coroner's jury has
looked wisely over their remains;
the MANNED will carry their multi
ton through a life Of suffering as
patiently as they can, and the
owner of the block will proceed
to rebuild if he has the money.
That will be the result of an ex-
ample of carelessnss which is as
much q homicide as if the trap
had been deliberately prepared and
sprung. A few of these criminal
house builders and owners should
be hung, or imprisoned for life, in
order that salutary lesson may
be taught for the benefit of the

Coon ADyICE.-Boys, you have
it in your power to do much for
yourselves during those intervals
of leisure that come to every one

and observation, and the reading
of good books-not novels-you
may lay the foundation of com
prehensive education that will fit
you, when you arrive at manhood,
to take your place in the world as
useful and valued members there
of. Don't think because you do
not go 10 school, perhaps, that
you will never be anything. If q
boy has The steel, he will rise in
spite of schools. Schools are
very useful institutions, and you
should try to get them if you can
but if you can't do not despair.
You have to educate yourselves
by thinking, either in school oil
out of is. Books are teachers
Try them. You can surely gel
books. Besides there is the grea'
book of nature spread out before
