Perhaps il would not be extravagant to
guess that Brazil will pay S25,0O0,000 for
products of the United States in 1891. We
trust that this proclamation may be
speedily followed by similar announce

Inc ist OF foreign murder socieues has
received another addition. This time it is
Polish organization with q murderous
looking, mpronounceable name and q

European intolerance and ignorant re
venge, and in their purposes and method,
are the opposite of American ideas anC
principles.
