RECIPROCITY IN BRAZIL.
English Millers the Chief Directors to the
New Trade Agreement

New Trade Agreement
New YORK, April TO- Wednesday
morning The New York World pub
lished a stuffed cablegram from Rio
Janeiro to the effect that the reciprocity
treaty is not likely to be ratifed that
BraziIs mercantile community strongly
opposes the scheme, and that in nut
shell-the treaty will be re iected.
Mr.. Charles II. Flint, of + lint e Com
pany, said Wednesday morning that his
latest advices from Brazil and they
Were only few hours old danced to
very different tame. Said he:
There is no organized Oppo ition to
the reciprocity treaty. On the contrary,
there is str ng feeling in favor of it.
My last cablegrams indicate that the
owners of the -four mills in Rio Janeiro
the mills are owned principally by the
English are opposed to the free admis-
sion of -four. This, as you know, is
guarant ed by the proposed treaty. In
no other quarter have heard of objec-
tions being made. Now that the condi-
tions are underst od, the treaty is looked
upon favOrably and hopefully.
The merchants Of Brazil want it and
recognize the fact that it will not cor
rupt the South American trade. At
first the point was made that the treaty
would tend to prejudice The home in
dustries owing to the reduction of duty
which kept out foreign products But
Brazil has begun to see that under the
reciprocity arrangement the government
is at liberty to raise the duties to as
high point as it finds convenient. i,
The only made provision in Secretary
Blaine's treaty is that the products of
the United States be admitted at 7J per
cent of the duties charged on goods com
ing from other countries. The chief
competitors of the United States in
South america are, Of course, England,
Germany and France Al dissatisfac-
tion with the proposed reciprocity treaty
comes from their representatives in
Brazil"

JOHN BULL AND BRAZIL.


A Difference Discovered Between Free
Entry and Free Trade.
New YORK, April l0,-A copy of The
South American of recent date, the
London newspaper which is devoted to
British interests in South America, was
received Wednesday. 1t contained the
following editorial; 1--WE are pleased
to cbserve that our foreign Office is not
wholly oblivious of its duty toward
the commerce of England in South
America. 1t is especially important
if this country is to hold its footing in
Bra IL as a great market for British
goods, that no time should be lost in
securing our position there, and it is
satisfactory to learn that Lord Salisbury
has been moved by recent events to ap-
proach the government at Rio de Janerio
with view to concluding a commercial
treaty. An attempt was made to do this
in 1877 and failed, Since then, it is
true, we have been able to transact u
very considerable business with Brazil,
but under conditions which have
now been seriously altered against
us by the conclusion of the reciproc-
ity treaty between Brazil and the
United States. We are not, we con
fess it with regret, particularly san
guine as to the result. England has
little or nothing to give Brazil that is
not already in common with all the
world under our free trade rolicy.
With the Mckinley act in his hand Mr..
Blaine was in very different position.
Sad experience may yet compel this
country to review and even modify the
ba is Of its international commerce.
After all there is a difference between
free entry and free trade

Penna made strong argument for the

the operators could not afford to oppose
the movement now sweeping over the

mand, willing TO stand by the result.

The Opelao ors' Side.

f. L. Robbins, for the operators, said;
81 ma say that no Ohio operator will
object to his mil ers working eight hours
or six hours per day, but | may say,
also, that no Ohio operator will allow
the working of his mines to be interfered
with The principal reason why this
demand is made, according to the
gentlemen on the other side, is that it
was indorsed by the American Fedora
ton of Labor. We are now few in
numbers aud are growing beautifully
! less, those of us who remain in the inter
state convention and its agreement.
| The others have fallen out because they
can get a better rate Of mining, Is it
right, is it fair, to ak rs to bear the
! burden, while nothing is demanded of
| them? The miners are making mis-
take i'll insisting on this demand, and if
they do not modify it the sooner the
interstate convention and its agreement
are abandoned the better it will be for
| the operators.
Col. W. p. Rend next took the floor.
He himself would agreed to the demand
! if the others would. He is in favor of
the eight-hlu ur day, and Lelieves that it
will soon prevail in all mechanical
