great advantages. It expresses in advance the
consent of Congress to reciprocity arrangements
affecting these products which must otherwise
have been delayed and unascertained until each
treaty was ratified by the Senate and the neces.
sary legislation enacted by Congress. HE
Experience has shown that soIae treaties look
ing to reciprocal trade have failed to secure o
two-thirds vote in the Senate for ratification, and
others having passed that stage have Tor years
awaited the concurrence Of the House and Senate
in such notifications to our revenue laws as
were necessary to give effect to their provisions.
We now have the concurrence Of both Houses
in advance in distinct and definite otter OF free
entry to our ports of specific articles. The Ex-
ecutive is not required to deal in conjecture as to
what Congress will accept Indeed, this re-
ciprocity provision ia more than an offer. Our
part of the bargain is complete Delivery has
been made and when the countries from which
we receive sugar, coffee, tea and hides, have
placed their free lists such of our products as
shall be agreed upon as an equivalent for our
concession, a proclamation OF that fact completes
the transaction and in the meantime our own
people have free sugar, tea, coffee aad hides.
The indications thus far given are very hope
full of early and favorable action by the countries
from which We receive our large imports OF
coffee and sugar, and it is believed that if steam
communication with these countries can be
promptly improved and enlarged the next year
will shcw a most gratifying increase in our ex-
ports of breadstuffs and provisions as well as OF
some important lines of Manufactured goods
The South Atlantic and Gulf ports occupy a
very favored position towards the new and I'M.
Eportant commerce which the reciprocity clause
of the tariff act and the postsl-shipping bill are
designed to promote. Steamship lines from tht Sc
ports to some northern port of South America
will almost certainly effect a connection between
the railroad systems Of the continents long be-
fore any continuous line Of railroads can be put
into operation. j. r09' rs,.a z ~ yyH ,itZi ~

chickens, and bit the old hen on the neck so

Trouble Among tho sons or Temperance In
the Greenpoint Division.
The determination Of large number OF tho
younger members OF Greenpoint Division 90 of
the Sons OF Temperance to mix pleasure with
their duties us upholders OF the temperance
movement has caused some Of the older and
moro stald members of the division to threaten
to secede from 90 and establish division OF
their own. the young people are defiant. and
consider themselves fully able to uphold the
reputation OF Division 90 The trouble began
some time ago, when one Of the officers OF the
division made remark to the effect that the
young people cared more for fun than the work
In hand. This incensed the young men.
Up to q week ago the divisions headquarters
were at Association Hall in Manhattan av-
enue. Greenpolnt. For year the young
people have been holding meetings in the hall
each week outside OF tho regular weekly
meetings OF the division. The older members
have not been in the habit OF attending these
extra meetings. as they were supposed to be
held in order that tho young men might COM
pare the results OF their weeks work. Unfor-
tunately for the harmony Of the orGani2ation.
