| THE CANADIAN MARKET FOR OUR MANUFAC-

Some of our people favor reciprocity or
commercial union upon the idea that a mar
ket would be opened in Canada for New
England manufactures, but such calculations
do not take into consideration the fact of the
large body OF French Canadians who might
there be employed in home manufactures at
much lower wages than are current in the
United States. \ more trustworthy author
ity. Goodwin Smith, when he would persuade
| Canada to faVOr the measure says: with
a free access to the markets of her own con
tinent she might become a great manufac-
turing country"
We may as well dismiss golden dream.

\ commercial union with the Canadian
Dominion would not stop short of participa-
ton in our coasting trade. At present this
trade, on both the ocean and lakes is in "a
! highly prosperous condition, and it is about
all we have left of our former mercantile
tonnage. The cheap provincial craft. cheap

min" our people in the cCaSting trade: Just
as the Clyde steamers and Norwegian and
other foreign trampS have nearly eXtinguish-

\ commercial union might require an as
sanitation of tariffs or the same rates Of
duty on imports of foreign merchandise by
both countries, and perhaps the adjustment
of our own tariff in harmony with the de
mands of the Dominion, and subordinate TO
the requirements of all our commerce with
other foreign nations. Manfcstly this would
be wholly nadmissble. The excise taxes of
he Dominion and our internal revenue tax
es would have to be made entirely equal ::
but the excise taxes are indispensable to the

are no longer needed. and, being painful

Correspondence of the Gazette.
BEEyILLE, TEX. Aug 19.-The tax
rolls for Bee county for 1899, just ap-
proved, show that there was rendered
for taxation 549, IA acres of land valued
ar 81, $50, $50, 45G3 horses valued at
$40 ,O35, G8, 943 cattle valued ut S346, 928,
and other property, making total valu-
alton of 81 1863 ,572, being an increase Of
SOB POS over 1888.
In 1880 the number of polls in bee
county was 49, On account of high
price of cattle and the purchase of large
tracts of land for pastures and the NOV
ing away of small land owners the DOpu-
latiOn decreased until in 1885 there were
only 297 polls. Since then the building
of the Aransas Pass and Galveston, :
West Texas and Pacific railways into the
county has attracted immigration, and
the number Of polls this year is 44S.
There are on the rolls the names OF
forty individuals or firms that render
property in value over ten thousand dol
lars, and the same number between five
and ten thousand dollars.
The entire county is inclosed in
pastures, and much attention is given to
improved stock.
On most of the ranches large fields of
corn are cultivated for feed, and the
. crop is now being gathered and Is ex-
ceJlent.
Thesacreage of cotton since last year
has more than doubled, there being now
about eighteen hundred acres in cultiva-
ton, aHd the crop was never better.

1t is matter of utmost Importance
that stock should have plenty Of pure
water, says an experienced ranchIhan
who considered plenty of pure water OF
as much Importance as plenty of grass.
On this point an exchange says: The hot
weather is rapidly drying up the wafer
holes, and the slip-shod rancheros are
seeing their stock falling of in flesh with
mesquite grass knee high, while their
neighbours cattle are getting fatter every
day, and they can t realize the cause to
be the sweet fresh water from trOughs,
instead of the foul thick water only to be
reached through a quagmire of filthy
mud. Without plenty of pure water it is.
no use trying to make a success raising
