BRAZILIAN TRADE.
Uncle Sam Should Get a Big Slice
OF It.

Uncle Sam Should Get Big Slice
OFT.
New York Star.
"Few business men in this country
fully appreciate the great opportuni.
ties offered for increased trade with
Brazil since the establishment of q
republic in that country" said Carlos
Calderyn last evening. with an
area equal to that of the United States
of America, exclusive of Alaska, and
containing 100000 Inhabitants, the
trade of Brazil is we'll worth seeking
1.-THE foreign commerce of the coun-
try amounts to over Sl76,0O0.OOO a
year, OF which the exports average
500, 600, COO and The imports $50, COO, $50
a year. The aggregate foreign com.
merce of all the other South Ameri-
can countries per year is less than
$500, COO, 900, little over 500, 100000
more than that of Brazil alone.
"Of her total foreign commerce,
abont one-third is with the United
States. Up to the present time by
far the largest part of the trade has
been almost entirely in the hands of
English and German merchants
This has largely been due to the fact
that the late monarchical govern
ment, with natural sympathy and
preference for countries having the
same form of government as its own,
used all possible means to divert
trade toward such countries rather
than in the direction of a
republic. But the chief fault
has been with American merchants
themselves, who made no efforts
either to push their trade or to Guilt
vate that which they succeeded In
obtaining. They decline to profit by
the experience of English and Ger
man merchants, and refused to pre-
pare goods especially suited to Bra
lillian wants and taste. No effort has
been made to study the demands Of
the trade, but, on the other
hand, their business principle seems
to say to Brazilians: "Take what
YOU are offered or leave 1t alone"
This sort of business may do we'll
enough in the case of trusts, where
they possess q hold on the market,
but such proceedings are now at all
feasible where business competition
is as sharp as 1t Is in Brazil. Amer
lean merchants fully understand that
II IL GQ0 UEdu0 10 uOokkOo IA ehOAA "" ~
country it must be sought for, and,
| where once obtained, must be nur-
l sured and fostered. Exactly the
| same principle must be observed II
| Brazilian trade Is to be secured.
"The recognition Of the present
Gov eminent of Brazil by that Of this
country, added to the fact that the
former country is now republic like
your own, has strengthened the in
terests of Brazil in the United States
and likewise increased her good viii
toward you; but, Notwithstanding
this, American merchants are well
aware that there Is but little senti.
ment in business, and that Brazil
ians, like business men in other coun
tries, are most likely to trade wher
ever they can do 80 to the best ad
vantage"

lumber for the Belle Springs church
also arrived.
n. G. Hershey shipped his goods for

The Belle Springs creamery was
obliged to refuse milk two days last

Mr.. Gugler has been buying hogs of

day.
The hunters have killed about all
The game. There is not a prairie
chicken to be seen and only an occa-
sional lonely quail is heard to whistle.
Rabbits are also getting scarce but
the hawks are still numerous. We
think perhaps the hunters would be
welcome in Australia and they would
stand good chance to win the reward
offered for exterminating the rabbits
IN that country if they worked as dill
gently at the business as they do here.

Something to Think About.

In speaking with one of four business
men the other day about advertising
Christmas goods, in rather a joking
may he casually remarked. 1--WE do
have line of goods that for practical
utility and desirability are not sur
passed as Christmas presents" This
put US to thinking what he carried
and we concluded there was nothing
nicer than single harness, a lady's
saddle or gentlemen's saddle or a nice
riding bride and whip or buggy whip.
And then the beautiful assortment of
robes, fur, plush and wool, with various
styles aud cOlors of rugs for both
buggies and floors made US wonder
that he was not saying anything about
it. We refer to g. F. WoTley's harness
store north of the postofice. Just take
a look and be convinced.

EMPoRIA, Kan, Dec III. D. HOl-
den, of this city, who was at Ocala, Fla,
chosen president of the National Citi-
zens' Alliance, has returned home. He
and others at Ocala urged the advisa-
bility of connecting the Citizens AL
lance with the Farmers Alliance, but
this was not done in all respects, al
though conference committees from
both bodies were appointed, which re-
suited in the organization of a National
Citizens Alliance, its mem bership to

cities of the United States who are in
sympathy with the principles and be-
lief of the Farmers Alliance.
Mr.. Holden says the new Alliance
will be secret political organiza ton
similar in nature to the Farmers AL
lance, and its members will be drawn
from those whose SYM athies and polit-
ical views are with that party Its form

The Effects OF the Alliance Movement Felt
-Retrenchment the Order of the Day.
Ell DORADO, Kan, Dec. 1.-THE eff
fects Of the Alliance movements are al
ready beg ming to be felt in Kansas,
even among the Republicans Two
years ago the Kansas State Senate ap-
pointed revision committee to revise
certain portions of existing State laws
This committee is composed of five Re-
publican Senators-Murdock, of Butler;
Hardness of Clay; Kimball, of Labette;
Moody, of Linn, and McKelly, of Craw-
ford. Senator Murdoch left this city
to attend the last meeting of the
committee at Topeka To your repre-
sentative he said:
THE committee has been at work
nearly year, and the report which is
now ready for the Governor, will cover
several hundred pages. 1t abolishes
dozen useless boards; consolidates a
half dozen other other boards; revises
the laws regarding the control OF the
State Normal and State Agricultural
College, Hutchinson reformatory; de-
capitates Sam Crawford, the State agent
at Washington; cuts down the numbers
oflocal district judges about one-fourth;
cuts legal advertising, sheriffs' sales,
county and State printing of all kinds
so per cent; provides for the Australian
system of voting, and the election of
the State Board of Railway Commits
sioners; provides that the State furnish
school books of uniform text free;
overhauls the system of taxation and
assessment and puts it on a bona fide
basis; cuts down the fees and salaries
of all county officers except coroners
and commissioners; cuts into cons ia bles'
and justices of the peace fees.
"The reports" says Senator Murdoch,
'if adopted and enacted into law. will
save the people of Kansas $500, 900 in
taxes annually 1t will do more than
this, it will repeal many useless laws
now existing, and make definite and
certain many others. AS all of the COM
mittee are Republicans, and as the re-
port is simply redemption of the
pledges made in the recent State Re-
publican platform, the Republican SEN
ate can not refuse to adopt it and enact
its provisions into laws, and as the
Granger House is in for retrenchment
and reform the House can do nothing
but pass the Senate bill"

greater thing to neglect the training of
that soul.

tive. Her subject The Relief of

ment." 1t was limited thatself- control
was the first requisite.
