Theseye represent large amount of
money. They go from Portland to Buenos
Ayres, Monteyideo, Rosario, Paysandu, and
Bahia Blanca. They take out lumber and
many other things. They carry cotton from
the cotton mills Of Maine and Massachu-
sets. prints from the Cumberland Mills fac
tories, oil from the Standard OIL Company,
carriages from j. M. Kimball & Co. and Mar
tin, Pennell & Co., and some canned goods
from the Maine packing companies. The
most of the business done. however, is In
lumber. The South American merchants
give their or ders to merchants in New York
these merchants charter vessels to load the
lumber, and as Portland merchants can do
the business more advantageously than else
where, the orders are given them and the
vessels ordered here to take the stuff. Such
is the case with firms like S. G. Dyer & Co.,
W. f. Milliken and Frank Dudley. To give
some idea of the vast amount of lumber OK

THE THREE AMERICAS,
What Portland Has Done In the
South American Trade.
some Facts and Figures That Are
Interesting Just Now.

In view of the fact that the delegates from
the South American States will soon be visit
ors to Portland, some facts and figures in re-
lation to our trade with South America may
be of interest.
About 1850 Mr.. Samuel Tyler load
ed vessel with lumber, took $4,000 In
silver with him, and sailed for Buenos Ayres
He disposed of his cargo to advantage, and
with his money bought cargo of hides, with
which he returned to Portland. So we'll
pleased was he with his venture that he es-
tablished himself here in the business, send
ing lumber to the Argentine Republic and
getting hides in exchange. This proved a
very profitable business, and somewhat later
Messrs. Andrew and s. E. Spring also en-
gagged in it on their own account, as is well
known, accommodating large fortunes.
In 1860. Capt. Russell Lewis, then master
OF the bark Archer, took load of lumber,
went to South America, exchanged 1t for
hides. and made money. He soon found it
necessary for his increasing trade to build
the Isabel. and these vessels were followed
by host of others. Messrs. B. H. Lewis
and S. c. Dyer afterwards formed partner
ship, under the firm name of Lewis, Dyer &
Co., and they shipped on their own account.
Afterwards Mr.. Dyer left the firm and went
to Montreal, and after some years returned
and went into the business of shipping lum-
Der to South America also.
Mr. Lewis's fleet of vessels grew very fast
until, at the present time, this white Line"
as it is called, numbers nine vessels:

it was not till after the

If you're satisfied the first

1t is the common GUS
tom for the dealer to war
rent the gloves he sells, his
name and reputation are
behind the guarantee that
is expected to accompany
every pair of gloves that
goes from the store. 1t is
making the seller respon-
sible for the mistakes of
the maker and the careless
ness of the wearer, and just
or not it is the custom.
1t isn't worth while to
sell a brand of gloves that
turn our five or six bad,
imperfect pairs to the doz-

handle a line of goods the
selling of which is sure to
make trouble for every
body having anything to
do with them, the best is

Where's the DiHerence2

Looked at with a view to fair play
and justice, the right of the women to
a vote would be clear, says Lucy Stone.
To illustrates: In one town lives a
man who owns his house and land, and
who has family of children. Next
door to him lives a woman who also
owns her house and land, and who has
a family of children. This man and
woman have the same personal and
property rights, and the same family
interests. Is it not clear that by right
and fair dealing they should both have
a vote on the questions that concern
them alike?
Out on a ranch lives a young man
who took up land. He has conformed
to the law. He has proved up" on his
land, owns it, and will make his home
on it. But on another ranch lives a
young woman who took up land. She
has conformed to the law, she has
proved up" on her land, owns it, and
will make her home on it. By all fair
dealing, the young woman should have
a vote as well as the young man.
Husbands. fathers and widowers have
special interests to protect, and they
will have votes to protect them. Wives,
mothers and widows have special in
terests to protect. In all fair dealing,
they should also have votes to protect
those interests. The men who upheld
slavery are ashamed of it now. The
men who deny equal rights to women
will surely be ashamed of it in the fu.
ture.
Huntsville gazette., 1889-09-14
Changed Their Tune.

Referring to the assertion sometimes
sneeringly made by coarse-minded men,
"When my wife goes to the polls and
votes, she can wear the breeches," the
Glenrock (Wy.) Graphic says:
eve have known men to make such
a remark, and afterwards, after having
resided in Wyoming q few years, and
witnessed woman suffrage in operation;
after observing the quiet and orderly
influence of women's presence at the
polls; after noting the courtesy and re-
spect with which they are treated; after
becoming convinced that a woman is
capable of casting her ballot at least
as intelligently as the average man,
and realizing that a lady may exercise
the right of suffrage and be lady still
after having studied all these things,
we have known these men to regard it
as their duty to see that their wives
were furnished with conveyances that
they might go to the polls and vote"
Huntsville gazette., 1889-09-14
No Vote No Tax.

Miss Anna Smyer, who took up a
homestead claim in Dakota five years
ago, was warned recently by county
official to pay her poll-tax, which drew
forth the reply: II have just found
out that last year s assessor has charged
me with poll-tax. think it is funny,
and If you want to mention the fact that
l object to working out poll-tax unless
| have the privilege of voting at the
next election you may. don't know
whether the man did it through spite
or through ignorance. If it was ig-
norance some one else may learn from
it. l am past twenty-one, and don't
deny it. but want the privilege of
voting as well as working. Dress this
up to suit yourself, and send me map

New Occupations.

The righteousness of women is prov
ing great aid to those who must be
self-supporters. The alacrity with
which they see an opening and
make q business is, well-as quick
as women. The ''seminors" Of the city
are good xamples-women OF educa-
ton who post society women on cur
rent topics, literary, political and
scientific, enabling them to converse
intelligently. In London a number of
women are serving as guides. They
are wonderful improvement on the
usual parrot-like type. The general
governess is becoming an institution at
summer resorts. She takes the child
ren off the parents hand by the hour
and not only makes them happy and
gives the mothers rest, but earns a good
salary by it, too. A clever young girl
with camera picks up points here and
there which the artists and the illus
trated papers buy. Another clever
girl discovers that she can become a
caterer; perhaps she makes only cakes,
perhaps serves whole meals, and thus
earns livelihood. Another who paints
on china buys kiln and fires her own
and her neighbors' wares. The sum
total OF the women earning comfortable
incomes in these odd ways is very large,
