have the privilege Of exchanging the
cereals he raises for articles he must
buy in all the markets OF the word
where fair treaties OF reciprocity can be
made for the articles exchanged. Our
home market is good. and will always
be ours for the products of our farms,

market and grow enough to feed
twice the number OF our

GLOUCESTER. Mass April 2S-The crew
of the schooner Elsie Al. Smith. from the
western banks, say they called at Fortune
Bay to obtain bait After buying a license
they found that instead of being good for
one year ii would have to be renewe ed every
time they bsited, about every three weeks
costing one dollar for every ton the vessel
registered. Finding this more than they
could afford TO pay they gave up the license
and the mon ~ wss returned. The coast is
thoroughly psirolled. and every place
where bal, could be procured is guarded
by armed crews. Vessels have been taking
more bait than needed and selling it to
FIR nch people in that locality.
