The Brazilian Treaty In Fore.

AuO 1DtoBllAAu 1E0Sty IA TOKCOs
The President OF the Republic of Bra
I'll has published q decree opening the
ports of that country to the importation
OF the United States goods, according to
the terms and provisions Of the treaty OF
reciprocity. This confutes the rumors
from British sources Of q Brazilian dis
sent from its validity.
1t would be premature to estimate the
effects Of the treaty upon American OK
ports, but . few facts point to obvious
conclusions; the Brazilian duty on wheat
is s per cent, with, apparently, an ad-
dftiOnal 5 per cent. for port and pro-
vincial charges; the tariff S per cent
ceases by terms Of the treaty, SO that our
wheat q be imported at half the rates
paid upon that Of other nations. Brazil
has not been q great purchaser OF wheat,
but we have supplied only a fourth Of its
demand; some $500, GOO q year ought to
be added to our trade in this article.
The duty OF -four has been Is per cent;
this will remain as to other nations, but
will be repealed as to our exports; last
year Brazil paid nearly SO, 200, 900
for United States -four and about
1000, 600 to other nations. Corn pays
. Is per cent. duty, which Is abol-
ished by the treaty; last year we sold
less than So, 600 in value of this grain
to Brazil, its total purchases nearly be-
ing Of the value OF 81, 600, 600. We sold
to Brazil less than $4,000 worth Of fish,
her whole purchases being to the value
of 81, 1853, 500. The duty on this article
Is from % to 4s per cent, which will be
retained as to other countries and abol-
ished as to our own. We sold Brazil
less than $500 worth Of beans and peas,
the total purchases OF these articles be-
ing moro than 81, 200, 900; the duty was
20 per cent henceforth American beans
and peas will be free. We sold no coal
to Brazil, though her total purchases
amounted to more than SO, 900, 600; now
that all other countries will pay duty on
this mineral while ours Is made free, it
is to be expected that our trade will In
creas We sold no rye or buckwheat
to our sister republic: 10Y that our grain
is free of duty while that of other coun-
tries is subject to q Is per cent. tariff,
we may look for an enlarged market for
these products.
In manufactured products sales to
Brazil have been eorrespondingly limited,
our trade in cotton goods being but
$685., 600, out OF q total Of sec, 800, 600,
imported mostly from Europe. OF leather
and its manufactures, exclusive OF boots
and shoes, we sold barely $40, 900 worth
put of . total Of more than 80, O0O,O 900.
We supplied less than q third OF the
lumber and manufactures OF wood, In
GLIDING furniture, imported by Brazil,
and less than one third of its importa-
tons of manufactured rubber. None Of
these articles are made free by the terms
of the treaty, but they are admitted at a

He Called II Joke.

Says . New York writer: I have .
friend who is one Of the most talented
young men in the west. The other day
he came into my Office and made . cold
blooded bluff about taking me out to
lunch, at the same time flashing . 500
bill before my astonished eyes. l took
him up, right then and there. of course.
We went to the Richelieu and ordered In
the neighborhood Of $l6 worth OF food
and drink, and pitched into II as II we
hadn't had anything before for twenty
years. 1t was q safe bet that this re-
that l was to be called upon to give up
something, and, sure enough. I was.
''By the way" he remarked, Is he was
lighting his cigar. ''by the way old man,
l want to get you to do something for
me-"
"All right" I replied promptly. "a
friend who blows you of to . Sic dinner
is entitled to . soft answer. What Is it?"
81 hate to ask you," he went ON, puff
fng slowly at the cigar. I'm devilish
diflident about asking favors OF my
friends, but you can do this, and I don't
think that 1t will give you very much
trouble. You know I have never struck
you for any kindness, Is long ~ we have
known each other"
That's So" I answered. go ahead,
|.I1l do anything l can for you."
swell, you see," he went on, .it'l
like this. 1 am-no," he broke of sud.
denly. 81 can't bear to ask it OF you.'
There was real tears in his eyes.
Don't let yourself be disturbed, old
fellow" I cried, very much affected
Remember I'm your friend"
"No, I can't do It," he said, when he
had recovered his composure. II can't
bring myself to ask you right to your
face"
BY this time I was very curious t.
know what the trouble was, and SO ]
proved q soft mark. He had counted on
that.
"No," he continued. II can't tell you
to your face. Perhaps l might be able
to write 1t down and 60 out of the room
while you read 1t. Will you promise no,
to look at it until I get clear outsider"
OF course I promised. What els,
could l do? So he wrote four or Rv,
words on the back Of the wine card ans
handed It to me. Then he shook m,
hand efusively, said I would never know
how grateful he was to me for my kind
ness and went out dissolved in tears
When he had shut the door behind him
and not till then, / unfolded the card
aud this was what he had written:
"PleASe pay for the lunch"
