IMPORTS OF FLOUR.

From Tinted states to Cuta....... O-"A SACKS '',4'7
As the duties on flour provided for in the
Reciprocity agreement went into effect on Jan
uary l. 1892, the foregoing comparison shows
exactly what has been accomplished In janu-
aiy 1891, when the Reciprocity negotiations
were opened, the exports of -four from Spain
were fourteen times as large as these from the
United States. I'm January, 1892, when the
duties had been reduced by Reciprocity from
- e. to 80 cents a barrel the exports Of flour
from the United States 10 Havana were increased
twonty-thIee times, and the exports from Spain
had ceased altogether These figures speak for
themselves They prove that American flour a
year ago was practically driven ont Of Cuba
They also prove THAI under the operation Of the
Reciprocity Convention this year American -four
has driven Spanish -four wholly out Of the Cuban
market
We observe that "The Evening Post" while
reluctantly compelled TO admit that both our
exporters and the Cuban consumer will he sub
staatially aided by the lowered duties" contends
that there is li.t!c sense in making Reciprocity
account for everything that happens, including
our enormous crCrs and eXpcrtable surplus"
Providence is undoubtedly on the side Of Amcii
can exporters this year, since the granaiies are
full behind them. Bat when the duties on
American flour in Cuba are reduced from 10 "a
to 80 cents barrel, Reciprocity has a good deal
more To do with an overwhelming increase Of
trade than surplus crops. We have shown the
immediate effect OF the treaty in increasing the
exports OF flour from the United States. But

Senator SaxtOn cast bomb into the Demo-
cratic camp yesterday by proposing an investiga-
ton of the election of Osborne and Walker,
the two Democratic Senators whose claim to the
seats they occupy is of the fmsiest description.
Ii happened that there were more Republicans
than Democrats in their seats at the time, and
the CONSERVATION among the latter was intense.
They rallied sufficiently, however, to call in
enough recruits to lay the matter on the table.
But it was narrow escape. The majority will
probably keep 4 closer watch on Themselves
and on their pponents-heleafter.

The report of the commission which has in
vestgatcd the abuses in the Clinton Prison re-
calls the cruelties of the lnquisition. 1t is put
ting it mildly to say that the punishments en-
ployed in this institution have been inhuman.
This revelation is blot upon the fair fame OF
our State. The need for a sweeping reform is
pressing. The recommendations Of the com
mission appear to have been well considered, and
nd time should be lost in putting them into
effect. The preparation of such ounagcs ought
to be made impossible in the future.

is indigenous and sui generis. There
isn't anywhere else in the country a
duplicate of the conditions that prevail
here. speak now of the old time pawn
broker-the man who has lived for years
among one class and has secured his
patronage from that class almost exclu-
sively. Among most of the pawnbrokers
in the north and west end there is no
attempt made to determine the actual
value of an article that is presented by
a regular customer. have seen an old
blind fiddler who had traded for ten
years with money lender 90 into tbs
pawnbroker's shop and get two dollars
on a pair of shoes that weren't worth
fifty cents And the money lender would
have loaned him five dollars as willingly
as he gave two dollars, because the loan
was really such loan as one man would
give to an acquaintance, and the deposit
of the shoes simply covered the law.
The money lender said he hadn't lost
fifty dollars since he had been in the
business, and the loans were always paid
back, in some cases the borrower leaving
the goods until he wants another loan
This is family pawnbroking, and the
brokers seldom lose anything Half Of
the money lenders in Boston are of other
