lower. In the element of price there
were many elements besides the actual
cost.
BY reciprocity Bfazil's capacity to buy
would be increased, and the United
States was the only country which
could give this increased power of pur-
chase to Brazil. The United States con-
sumes largely her, rubber and coffee.
Free trade with the United States would
not be possible, because Brazil depends
on her custom house for her revenue
But she could give reductions in duties
in return for free sugar given by the
United States. Enormous gains would
result from mutual concessions The
steps already taken for banking facili-
ties are most important.
At present the capital of Europe en-
ters into our trade and operates against
American goods. Better transportation
facilities should be had, but most i'm
portant of all is reciprocity Manufac-
turers of cotton, steel, leather, wood,
iron, and farmers, by the sale of bread
stutfs, would he benefited. Then the
present temper of the Brazilians, be-
cause of feeling against England, affords
wonderful opportunity to this coun-
try. Throwing this great market away
will be bitterly repented

DON'T WANT TO TALK.
The Republican Members of the Ways
and Means Committee.

The Republican Members of the Ways
and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The Republi
lican members of the ways and means
committee do not appeal disposed to dis.
cuss the conference they had with Mr..
Blaine on Feb. 10 last, which was re.
ferred to in the secretary's last letter tc
Senator Frye. Their .eticence on the
subject is alleged to he the result of a
general understanding that the matter
should not be discussed Friends OF
Mr.. Blaine say that he was displeased at
the manner in which the committee
ignored his recommendations.
1t is understood that Secretary Blaine
requested the conference: that Mr. Nc.
Kinley sent out confidential notes to Re
publican members of the committee ia
meet him at his room in the Ebbitt
house on the following morning at 10
o'clock; that every Republican member
was present. and for half an hour Mr..
Blaine addressed them on the subject of
reciprocity, and that, After Mr.. Blaine
had presented his views formally, gem
eral conversation ensued on the subject,
in which he was piled with number of
questions.
Among the questions asked was
whether Spain would be included in the
reciprocity scheme, Mr.. Blaine having
confined his remarks merely to our re-
lations with the Spanish re-
publics. 10 this Mr.. Blaine is said to
have replied that Spain was in too bad
financial straits to surrender any of her
revenues. Mr. Blaine's reference to
Spain in the letter TO Mr. Frye is viewed
with some surprised by members of the
ways and means committee.
1t Is argued BY those who favor the
secretary's proposition that the Repub'
lican members of the committee never
gave Mr.. Blaines proposition any con-
sideration after the conference was
held Almost without dissent, it is re-
ported, they regarded the plan as i'm
practical. and it was never brought be-
fore the full committee, even for the
purpose of discussion. Mr.. Blaine
conclusion, therefore. that the commit
tee had n very Indifferent opinion of his
proposition, was, his friends claim, not
unwarranted.
In the informal way in which the Re
publican members of the committee dis
cussed it among themselves, it was
agreed that if Spain could not afford re-
ciprocity, the Spanish-American repub-
lies, most of them at least in still worse
financial straits, could not afford it.
Most of them regarded that the oppor-
tunity to get mutual concessions had
gone by; that the time to have bar
gained was when coffee, hides, rubber,
etc. were put ON the free list in previ-
Gus tariff acts; that now it was impossi-
BILE to turn the mill with the water that
was past,
1t appears that it was in this view of
the situation that Mr.. Blaine's PROPOSE
ton was rejected in sort Of off-hand
way by the Republicans of the commit
tee. From the evident feeling among
them since Fridays letter has been made
public, it is apparent that even sho~ld

all making short, feeling talks, and
Preacher Nicholson offered prayer. The

brother came in during the services and
fell on the condemned mans neck and

prisoner requested the jailor to remove
him out of the inclosure, saving: "If
my brother has no more respect for me
than to come to my hanging drunk,
do not wish for him to be present.
Wilson walked deliberately and unaid-

He told the people that whisky
brought him TO this. When the sheriff
adjusted the rope around the prisoner 8
neck he said: THAT is choking me; fix
it right. | want to die right The
black cap was pulled over his face, and
all present said "Good-by." Wilson re-
spending "Good-by; meet me in heaven.

hurled into eternity. His neck was
broken, and he died without struggle.
