TRADE WITH BRAZL.-President Harri-
son issued a proclamation Thursday de-
clarinr that treaty had been concluded
with Brazil which will open the markets of
that Republic to a goody number OF
American products and manufactures.
We make our compliments to Mr.. Har-
rison with the hope that he will like the
degree of free trade in which be indulges
and want more of it. And we can assure
him that the more he gives the people OF
this country the more they will be pleased.
Il be should conclude, after thinking the
subject over, to kick the Mckinley bust
ness through the door aud come over 70
the sound democratic platform under which
we prospered in the good old days we
would give him a warm welcome.
The drift of events is in that direction as
sure as fate, and the wise mau will take
the tide at he flood, whio tho stupid re-
sist manifest destiny and spend their lives
in bailing out the boat, which is bound to
siak at last.-N. Y. Herald.

millions of dollars of Northern capital b.

One of the objects of Reed, Hoar and 9TH
