According 10 the Louisville Courier Journal
the American business excursionists In Mex
leo have found that serious obstacles exist In
the way of drumming up trade with that
country. and that Minister Foster has not
exaggerated them. In the first place, the
tariff Of Mexico interposes serious obstruc-
tion. The interstate tariffs present another
difficulty, and very serious obstacle IL the
want OF transportation facilities and capital

circumstances, be exported by American mer-

tiles lies In the rapid construction OF railroads
and the consequent development OF the coun-

Negotiations between the shinowners ana
dock laborers In England are likely to bring
about an agreement. The strikers resources
are necessarily disappearing rapidly, Tor
strikes can't be maintained on wind, and they
are expected to abate something OF their de-
mands. The long suspension OF work has
caused losses to the trade In Liverpool Of far
greater consequence and less easily remedied
than the immediate pecuniary damage to the
shipowners and employees. It has driven
shippers to seek other markets In many In
stances, and all experience shows that trade
once diverted from It's ordinary channels Is
rarely returned to them.

THE ALLEGED BULL-DOzING PIN
BALDWIN.
True Statement of the Case-Edwin
Richardson Not Martyr

The Argus of Tuesday contained the fol-
lowing:
BULL-DozING IN BALDWIN.
BALDWIN, Aug. 80.
To the Editor Of the Argus:
1 am turned out of employment and out of
house, with five children without place to
put my head and it was because would vote
the Greenback ticket. This man has been
thought great deal of in the Republican party
of Hiram, and has been sent to the Legislature
as representative, and his name is Almon
Young EDWIN RICHARDSON.
To this Almon Young replies:
HIRAM, Sept. 3.
To the Editor Of the Press
l noticed in the Argus of Sept. I'd, a letter
signed Edwin Richardson, stating that had
turned him out of house, home and employ
ment because he was Greenbacker. Now
that is simply falsehood and Mr.. Richardson
denies to me being the author of that letter, be-
cause he knows never mentioned how he was
going to vote to him. The following are the
facts: On going into my mill at Baldwin
where Richardson with two other Greenback-
Democrats were at work. one of them COM
menced talking about Greenback meeting
held at East Baldwin. 1 denounced the
speakers, saying more or less of their state
ments were untrue. Richardson took it up
and accused the Republicans in bitter terms of
expressing the poor. 1 considered myself one
of that party, and Immediately told him if L
was expressing him he need not work longer
for me, to which he readily assented. Voting
was never mentioned until after left the mill.
He declared to those present he should vote
the Greenback ticket. l have forty men in
my employ of which half vote the Greenback-
Democratic ticket. / can obtain the signature
of every Democrat or Greenbacker now at
work for me- or who ever did work for me,
that never tried to control their vote other
wise than by fair argument. Richardson was
in my employ at $3.50 per day, and furnish
ed him his house rent included, his fire wood
delivered to his door for $50 per year, and the
highest wages ever paid any man to fill the
place that Richardson filled was $1.75 per day
in the time of highest prices.

Gaptain Ezra Haskell

Capt Ezra Haskell of this city died at his
late residence on Bracket street yesterday
morning, after protracted sickness, at the
age of sixty-fve. He was retired shipmas-
ter and was we'll known in business circles,
especially among those interested in naviga-
ton. He was especially esteemed for integrity
and honest dealing, to which virtues he was
ever fondly devoted. He was born in North
Yarmouth and followed the sea from early
youth.
Beginning when a mere boy among strangers,
with nothing, by his indomitable perseverance,
aided by those virtues which shaped all his
actions, he accumulated a respectable property
and retired from active life some eight years
ago, after having served to the entire satisfac-
ton of all interested as master of various ships
for nearly thirty years in all.
In politics he was firm Republican, and
was ever fondly devoted to his country and his
country's flag. During the dark hours of the
rebellion he commanded a fine large ship, and
while many in his position were seeking
greater security by sailing under foreign flag,
he invariably and emphatically declared that
when the old flag under which he had sailed so
many years was not sufficient protection to
him, he would command ship no longer. He
leaves widow, who for most of the time
ever fondly devoted.
In the death of Capt. Haskell the commune
ity loses valuable citizen.

TWO SMALL BOOMS.



Last evening the Greenbackers endeavored
to work up little interest in favor of the cleo
ton of Shylock Smith, and held two street
meeting, one ON Washington street. which was
addressed by the (fiat "Hon.'' r. NJ Springer
of Chicago, but did not succeed in getting up
even the semblance of ''boom."
The other "rally'' was held at the foot of
Center street, where crowd of some 200 as
sembled, not half the number that monkey
and hand-organ could call out any pleasant
evening, and about one-fifth of the number
who would turn out to see fight Still what
the Greenbackers wanted was man who
could talk and the (fiat) "Hon." R. HI. Fergu-
son of Troy, New York, proved himself to be
the needed man. They wanted a speech made,
and he did it. We regret that we
have no report of his speech, as it
was made mostly with his arms, excepta few
eloquent passages in which his legs played the
principal part. but it is to be supposed that he
was trying either to express his indignation at
the course of Mr.. Smith in dealing with his
neighbors, or to explain away the charge of
Shylockism brought against the Major. The
crowd came and went, and as the rain seemed
inclined to come, the orator was persuaded to go
If the night had been fair, he would probably
have been speaking yet. Yet the orator has
one comfort as the Leader will put his audi
ence at from four to five thousand, and will
add that he is anxious to meet Senator Blaine
in joint debate, which is all that the soul of the
Greenback orator can hope to attain in this
world
