Our Commercial Relations with


1t is gratifying to observe that Mr.. Elijah
Ward, whose familiarity with the CONNER
cial interests of the country made him
valuable representative in the late Congress,
found time in the heat of the political con-
test which occupied the entire session to
press on the attention Of the House the
policy of free trade with Canada. A week
before the final adjournment Mr. Ward ad-
vocated in convincing speech the adoption
of his resolution for the appointment of in
ternational commissioners to inquire and
ascertain by mutual investigation aud con-
ference how far it is practicable to extend
our commerce with the Dominion. 1t seems
singular that any arguments should be re-
quired to convince intelligent men in this
advanced age of the folly of raising up arti-
fetal commercial barriers-between ourselves
and our Canadian neighbors. We want all the
trade we can obtain for our railroads. our
canals and our ships. We want all the en-
ployment we can secure for our laboring
population. We want to open all the mar
kets possible for the sale of our produce
and our manufactures, and to be allowed to
purchase oil commodities we need at the
cheapest possible rates. Our Canadian
neighbors, on their part, have use for our
manufactures of cotton, wool, iron. copper,
&C., and for many of our productions. Un-
der our present relations the trade between
the two countries averages upward of ninety
million dollars a year, and this might be
doubled if We would open our markets on
both sides free Of duties. The people Of the
United States would benefit by the unre-
stricted commercial intercourse in greater
degree than the Canadians, but both nations
would reap material advantage
The folly Of obstructing the free exchange
of the products of industry between the
United States and Canada is heightened by
the geographical position of the two coun-
tries. We have line of frontier which it
is practically impossible to watch, and
thousands of custom houses on both sides
could not prevent smuggling. We are on
opposite banks of an extended river, which
can be crossed at almost any point Un-
broken lines of railroad link us together,
and We pass from one country to the other
without knowing it, The people Of the two
nations assimilate, and Canada, the smaller
and weaker, is induced by every conceiva-
bic interest to cultivate friendly relations
with country which nature makes her
closest ally. If we desire the Independence
of the Dominion or annexation we cannot
promote the object more effectively than by
showing the Canadians how closely their
material interests depend on her free COM
mercial intercourse with the States. Mr..
Ward is entitled to credit for not suffering
SO important subject to be lost sight of in
the excitement that attended the last mem
orable session of the late Congress.

COrn-Markers.

Commanders are useful everywhere
with the farmer who plants a few
acres, and with him who grows his so or
100 acres and uses a horse planting ma
chine. For the farmer who plants but
little corn the following is the cheapest
marker that can be made to be drawn by
a horse: Take joist, three by six, and
make three runners, each three or four
feet long, rounding up the front ends on
the lower side. You then take inch
boards and nail them with tenpenny
nails to these three runners, placing them
three and half feet apart, or wider if
you please, from center to center. The
mailing must be strongly done. The next
thing to be done is to attach pair of
shafts to it, and green hickory, oak or
other strong poles will answer the pur-
pose; and they may be attached by bor-
ing inch holes diagonally through piece
of ioist, four by four, to suit the position
of the shafts, and then nail it to the top
of the marker in a substantial manner
from the under sides. Spikes might be
used to advantage in securing this piece
of timber If the ends of the shafts be
wedged in well they will not get loose.
This is a marker that may be made in an
hour or two, and it will make two rows
at time, one runner following the out.
side mark. A wheelwright could, if de.
sired, make runner on this plan, with
pair of shafts properly attached, which
would last lifetime. Handles may be
attached to it, and the top so made that
stone weight may be laid upon it, and
keep its position, if it should be needed
to make the marks palmer.
A much better marker may be made to
run on wheels, as follows: Have two
small wheels made, not over three feet
in diameter, to which put an axle of a
length for four rows-two made by the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1877-05-19

wheels and two by inside attachments,
on the ends of which are secured couple
Zone to each) of ordinary cultivator teeth
say three and half feet apart, thus
making four marks that distance from
each other. A tongue for two horses
should be made; also seat for the
driver; and in its operation three rows
are marked at a lime, one wheel going
in the last row made as a guide.
Another way, but one never adopted,
is to get up something on the plan of
an ordinary horse cultivator, with only
three teeth, and the marker so made that
it can be adjusted for corn, or rows for
anything else, as for beans, turnips, etc.
Such marker would not cost over about
eight dollars, and it would be very use

Reading Women's Pluck.

Walnut street above Eleventh has been
out of repair for some time. The street
was in such condition this spring that
the women were ashamed of il, and as no
one would repair it they determined to
do so themselves Accordingly, yester-
day afternoon, after they had washed
their dishes, the following-named neigh
bors began work on the highway; Mrs.
Madeline Keabler, Mrs. Beck, Mrs. Miller,
Mrs. Schultz, Mrs Gabel, Mrs. Hitler
and Miss Gabel. They worked hard
with pick, shovel, rake and broom.
Stones were thrown into the gullies,
ashes and earth shoveled on, uneven
places were made even, the street was
swept, and by five o'clock, when the
time had arrived for the beginning of the
preparations for supper, the women had
placed the street in an excellent and
clearly condition distance of half a
square, from Eleventh street eastward

figure in the large stained glass window
above the chancel was removed. The
figure was full-length representation of
the Virgin, surmounted by crown of
glory and surrounded by a halo, placed
side by side with figure of the Savior,
also surrounded by halo. The objec-
tionable figure was removed, the space
was filled in with plain glass, and the
church was consecrated. Recently, the
figure was replaced in the window with
the Bishops consent. The crown about
the Virgins head had disappeared, but
the halo remained. n' #I#
Last year the medical faculty of Har
ward University offered the Boylston,
prize for the best essay on 1.-The Cues

of any medical school to compete. The
prize was won by woman-Mrs. DIR.
Putnam acobi-who had previously won
similar triumph, receiving as prize a
gold medal from the medical faculty of
Paris. DR.. Putnam Jacobs last essay is
said to be exceptionally clever, and will
soon be published. Its value will be in

SooT falling on the carpet from open

A little spirits of turpentine added to
the water with which floors are washed
will prevent the ravages of moths.
When carpets are well cleaned, sprinkle
with salt and fold; when laid, strew with

Fuller's earth, mixed to stiff paste
with cold water, spread on the carpet,
covered with brown paper, will, in day

application may be necessary.
Spirits of ammonia diluted with water,
if applied with a sponge or flannel cloth
to discolored spots in carpets or garments,
will often restore the color.

Paint splashed upon window glass can
