ism or to make promises in order to obtain the
benedction of the Catholic church at her nup-
tails. Her husbands family did not wish either

The Mexicdn Findncier corrects Mr.. Blaine
when he says: in Mexico we lost $4,000, 900
balance of trade), Imports from Mexico were
S21 100000; our exports to Mexico were S11 00O-
000." The American statesman, the Finabcier
remarks, takes for his statistical basis the fig
ures given by the bureau of statistics of the
Wash ington treasury; but these, accurate as
they are as regards Cuban, Brazilian and Ar
gentine trade, etc, are valueless regards
| Mexican trade, for they do not include the i'm
mense freights brought into Mex
the railways. Tie real nmount of American
exports to this country is between S17 ,000, 900
and 800 O00,O 900. as estimated by one of the most
! careful American statSticians." These fig
ures are used as bearing an important
influence on the question Of reciprocal
trade agreements. The Financier saws
