Encouraging Commerce.

We would respectfully suggest that
General Harrison should put into the
same speech an outline OF the letter
which an American commission mer-
chant or manufacturer in New York
should write to bis agent in Brazil or
Chill in order to procure orders for
American products from those coun-
tries when that regular (subsidizrd)
mail communication" is established
which, the nominal candidate says, is
all that is necessary TO give us profit
able Commercial! intercourse with those
countries. AS matters now stand, we
speak advisedly when we say that not
single manufacturer or dealer in this
country knows what to say in such Il
letter, particularly as he would have to
begin by repeating General Harrison's
warning that we will never allow anv
foreign goods to be offered FOR sale in
our markets, on equal terms. At
present, without the further light
which General Harrison may hereaf-
ter throw on the subject, it would have
to be something of this sort:
New YORK, Nov. 8, 1SSS.-Dear
Sir: We take the liberty of enclosing
herewith il price-list of the leading ar
ticles OF American manufacture, in
which We shall be pleased to execute
your orders in this market. You will
note, doubtless, that the prices are all,
or nearlyall, from thirty per cent. to
fifty per cent. higher than those OF
similar articles in England and on the
continent of Europe, which you will,
We feel sure, not object to pay, both in
order to maintain your own self re-
spect and to enable us to keep up the
wages of the laboring man in this
country. 1t is proper to add that
should you think of paying for the
same in goods of your own, the like OF
which are produced here, even in small
quantities, it cannot be permitted
this market being reserved exclusively
for American sellers. Any dealings
We have with you will, therefore, have
to be for coin, and particularly silver
OF which We are now seeking to &C
cumulate as large store as possible
You will be rejoiccd to know that ow
ing to the regular mail communities
ton with your co4ntry recently es
tablished by our Government, we shall
be able to forward you a communities
ton of like tenor and effect with thi.
one, every week, which must, we ar,
sure, inure to our mutual advantage.
Trusting to hear from you in du,
course, and thanking you in advanc,
for the orders you would probably lik,
to send, but will not send, we remain
with great respect,
Your faithful servants,

"Well, I'm glad you have" said
Mrs. Stuart, bringing her to the sit
ting-room and offering her the best
rocking chair.
Mrs. Arnold was the heightened Cos
sip of the ncighborhood. She knew all
about the First weddings" that were
TO "come off" long before anybody
else. She did not mix up much with
scandal, leaving that for the mother
Tantrums and Grundys to attend to,
but she was authority on dress and
rumor. 1t was no easy matter to
breach the subject of her GRAND. and
Mrs. Arnold found the evening half
spent and it had not been alluded to.
1t must be done, and she began nerving
herself for the task. Mrs. Arnold was
a woman of no little courage, but how
to speak to this quiet, self-possessed
yet confiding Mrs. Stuart, so as to make
her words effective, was puzzle to her.
At last she did it. 1t was after q long
spell of trying to pick up q dropped
stitch. when she laid her Knitting in
her lap and elevating her nose in the
air SO as to look under her spectacles,
she started out {:
"Do you know the talk that Is goin'
round about Warren
"No," answered Mrs. Stuart. In sur
prise. The two ladies were alone, and
Mrs. Arnold moved her chair up little
nearer to her neighbor and said:
People say he's going to marry"
"Aarry-marry whoP" aaked Mrs..
Stuart.
"Your hired girl" There was just
the least contempt in the answer.
ITS false; don't believe it," said
Mrs. Stuart, with indignation.
"NOw, AIRS. Stuart, I want you to
forgive me if 10eem to be meddlin'
with your family affairs, but assure
you what am goin' to say say out
of my strong friendship and desire for
your happiness.
"What do you meant" asked the
terrified Mrs. Stuart. please tell me
what it is"
"Well, there is danger Of Warren
being carried away by that girl"
WHO, Helen?"
"Yes. Helen. l know she seems very
nice, and all that, that she is devoted to
her little brother and excites your sym.

deep game. She's dom all this tl
