RECIPROCITY WITH SANTC
DOMINGO.

The democratic journals are airing
their disaffection with the present
administration, because of the reel
procity treaty with Ssnto Domingo
They think that Santo Domingo is SC
small that, like Rip Van Wrinkles
drink, 1t don't count. The little is
land imports two and half millions
and her exports are about the same,
annually. The treaty is in line with
that made with Brazil. Concerning
the benefits to American trade from
this new trade ally, and the prospec-
tive increase of that trade as a result
Of reciprocity the Chicago Tribune
in its issue of the 3lst July says:
"By the arrangement which has
been made flour and other bread
sIuffs, potatoes, hay and oats, pork
and fish, cottonseed oil, agricultural
implements, mining and mechanical
tools, and material for construction
and equipment of railways are put
on the free list, while the duties on
cured and canned meats and vsgeta-
bles, man afactures of cotton, iron, and
steel not included in the free SEIZED.
ule, manufactured leather, lumber
and manufactures of wood, and sew
eral other articles are reduced % per
cent.
During the last fiscal year this
country sent to San Domingo $169, 900
worth of iron and steel and their man.
ufactures, $4,000 worth of wheat
-four, Sill 900 of wood and it's man
ufactures, S66, 900 of cotton goods,
and $4,000 of lard. Several of
these articles are made free and
on others the duties are lowered
considerably. The consumption Of
them will be greatly increased and
the cotton goods now purchased in
England will be bought here.
American farmers and manufacturers
will be benefited by Mr.. Blsine's
latest diplomatic. triumph. 1t is
stated in one of the dispatches that a
good deal of New England capital is
invested in the Island. This reel
prOcity agreement, with the increased
trade which will follow, will
lead to the investment of more of its
capital there, and energetic Ameri.
cans will follow their capital to see
that 1t is being well handled. They
will build narrow.guage roads over
the island. They will introduce i'm
proved machinery on the sugar plan
tations. They will begin handling
tropical fruits. When q number of
good business white men are once
settled on the island its shipments to
the United States will become tenfoId f!
what they are, and the consumption
Of American products will increase
twentyfold.
1t is time for a change in trade rela-
tons. AS has been stated, the island
imports two millions worth of goods. |
1t takes from the United States alone
1926 600 worth. The agreement which
has just been made will remedy that
state of affairs. The sugar and
other products of SantO Domingo
will be paid for in articles of Amer
lean production, and not as now half
in gold, and it will not be long before
the shipments from this county to
the island will be twenty times what
they are now. For man whom the
papers persist in saying is
at the point of death, Mr. Blaine is do
ing some very good work for the in
dustries of his country.

MILLS A CANDIDATE.

Extract from His Speech at Rochester
University.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, March 1s..-Roger
Q. Mills, of Texas, spoke in Music hall to
the students of the university. Among
other good things he said:
1.-The touchstone of our prosperity is
liberty, liberty of action, liberty to go
where we please, come when we please,
eat what we please, drink what we
please, buy where we please and sell
where we please. Do you want to see
the grand old ensign of freedom float in
in every harbor? If you do, strike the
shackles from your trade. Strike the
shackles from your labor. Give us an
open sea, fair field and free fight and
we can whip the whole earth"
To reporter who asked Mr.. Mills if
he was a candidate for the speakership,
he did not hesitate to state frankly that
he was, but did not desire to be inter
viewed on the subject.

An Assassin Arrested.

RALEIGH, N. c., March 13.-Several
weeks ago Col. A. B. Andrews, vice
president of the Richmond and Danville
railroad, was fired at near Burlington,
while standing on a rear platform of his
private car. The bullet struck the side
of the door, only a few inches from his
head. The man who did the shooting
was not known by name, but had just
been put off the train. Tuesday Deputy
Sheriff Brooks of this city, got clue,
and provided with bench warrant is
sued by Judge Brown, went to Ala
nance county and has captured the
man who did the shooting. The latter
was found to be Bud Nicholson, whose
home is near Burlington. He had been
in hiding ever since he did the shooting.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The name
of ex- Congressman Morrow and ex-Sen
ator Ingalls, are mentioned in connec
ton with IA successor to Minister Swift
who died Tuesday at his post in Japan
The body of the minister will probab
y be brought back to this country IN .
man-Jf- war.
The settlement of the Bering sea mat
ter. as foreshadowed in correspondence
betw cen the United States and the Brit
ish governments, is not settler in the
opinions of treasury department officials.
The fact that the issue OF permits to
vessels to cruise in Bering sea is not pro
hibited during the pending of negotia'
tions this summer is pointed out as al
most fatal to the United States interests
in those waters.
Advices received at the treasury de
partment indicate more general on
slaught in seal fisheries this spring and
summer than ever before.
They are now fitting out at Victoria,
B. c., forty vessels, which will infest
the waters about the sea inlands at st.
Francisco. Twenty vessels are being
made ready for sea, bound for the islands
of ST. Paul and st. George.
In the language of the government
official, "when the pending controversy
as to the jurisdiction i'll the Bering Sea
! is settled, there will be nothing to settle,
that is, all the seals will have been de.
stroyeu,"
