A RADICAL HILL,

It is probable that ballot reform in this country will soon be supplemented by laws to prevent bribery at elections. Such a law has been introduced in the Mime sota legislature. It limits the amount ex- pended by candidates for state offices, United States senate and congress to $1, ,000; that by candidates for office in cities of over 15, 900 inhabitants to $500, and that by candidates for offices in all smaller cities and towns to S25O. It requires both prediction and post-elec- ton publication of expenses, which is a new departure. It provides that fifteen days before election each candidate shall file sworn statement with the proper officer showing in detail all money or other considerations contributed or expended by him, or promised to be paid directly or in directly by him or through another per son in aid of his nomination. After cleo ton, successful candidates are required to file similar statements of all expenses in- cured in both nomination and election.
 This is very radical bill, even more radical in some respects than the English law regulating elections. If it should be- come law and work half as well as the English law does it would do great good. It is the unanimous testimony of compe- tent observers that bribery in political contests is practically abolished in Eng land. It ought to be abolished in this country if it can be.

TRADE WITH BRAZIL.

The farmers and manufacturers of this country will now have a chance to greatly extend their dealings with Brazil. Last year Brazil sent to the United States about $47, ,0O0, ,000 worth of coffee and about $, ,OOO, ,O0O worth of rubber. In these pro- ducts the United States has been Brazil's best customer. Brazil has produced about 360, ,000 hogsheads of sugar annually and it's facilities for sugar products are unlim- tied. Under the new treaty we shall take our share of the sugar, and the industry in Brazil will be greatly stimulated. Last States about 374, 1000 barrels of flour, and 100,000 barrels from other countries. We shall be enabled to increase the flour trade largely, as the reduction of Brazilian con- sumers will increase the demand. Brazil i'm ports large quantities of potatoes from Portugal, but our farmers will have a chance to furnish the supply. The de- mand for American salt pork and bacon has increased recently and will be still fur ther promoted by the reciprocity arrange ment. Our farmers will find also an out let in Brazil for large quantities of hay. The reduction of the duties on lard, canned meats, dairy products, fruits and vege- tables, will naturally increase the demand and the United States will get the benefit. An opening is made also for large quanti- ties of manufactured goods, such as cotton, wool, iron and steel, including all sorts of machinery and tools and railroad supplies and equipments.
 Doubtless exporters of this country will be active in cultivating the new field. It will well repay them.
