on Main street. The board of Su-
pervisors at recent meeting d.
rected Supt. Trimbie to macada-

and for several days good force of
hands have been busy breaking and

completed. Squire Trimble though

Ropudiate Free Trade.

A great convention Of British Agri-
culturists was held in London, ut
which every farmer club or associa-
tion in the United Kingdom was rep
resented. The depressed condition
OF the farming interest and IFS causes
were main matters Of discussion.
The following resolution was adopted
by decided majority:
"Rcsolved, That the unfair compc-
tition of untaXel foreign imports
with home produce and manufaC-
lures, which are subject TO heavy in
ternal taxes, is an anomaly, and does
injustice by causing diminution OF
demand for home labor, and, by con
tracing the purchasing power Of the
country, adversely affects every trade
and industry in the country.
The resolution further declared it
TO be the opinion OF the conference
that competing imports should pay Il
duty not less than the rate Of taxa
ton on home industry in order TO
place them on level with articles of
home production. A resolution in
favor Of bimetallsm was also adopted.
A leading speaker, Mr.. Chaplin, said
that: IF he were obliged to choose
between the ruin Of farming and the
adoption Of protection he would
Chico the latter And this declara-
tion was received with renewed
cheering.
This rebellion Of SO large body Of
men OF influence greatly troubled the
London Times which says: "Bimct-
allism, with protection, is an expert
ment that no amount Of fa words
will induce the public TO try"

The Exports OF Gold.

Some alarm has been created in
financial circles 10y the rapid growth
recently in the bulk Of our gold cX-
ports. 1t is true that, &C ording to
statistical preccdents, the flow OF
gold should be i'm the contrary direC-
ton. Our merchandise exports in
November amounted TO 800, 900. 900,
and our imports to So, COO, COO. Very
naturally we might expect a return
Of gold to meet the trade balance Of
$40. 600, 900 in our favor Instead Of
that, however, our shipments Of gold
to the other side are growing steadily
large.
A very plausible explanation Of
the present condition is that foreign
holders of American securities have
sent their certificates here for re-
demption, and that the output of
gold is simply in the process Of pay
ing American debts in American
gold to the whiom purch r. Of
American bonds. And it must not
be forgotten that for some time past
both Austria and Russia have been
boarding gold, paying premium to
get it. Russia's purpose in doing this
is Tot well understood, except that
it be a preparation for war, butsAus-
tria is preparing to resume specie
payments, and, consequently. needs
all the gold she can get.

what "A Revenue Tariff Means.

Certain people labor under the inn
pr, ss.on that free trade and "a tariff
for revenue only" are not synony-
nous. This is a mistake. Free
trade does not imply an absen~e OF
tariff imposts. 1t means that no
tariff duties shall be levied OF fo.-
eign products coming in competition
with domestic products. On foreign
products not Of this description it
recognizes the right to impose duties
as cyigency may dictate. Such is the
character OF the fee trade po.icy Of
Great Britain. Here is report Of
the revenue derived from the free
trade tariff Of the United Kingdom
for the fiscal year ended March 81,
1891.

Colon would blossom into vigorous

would throw off its lctharGy and be-

on the iSthmuS, and the officials of
the canal found leisure to lay out
parks and gardens and plan great es-
tatcS for themselves. Even the
sleepy natives awoke. They began
to dream Of wealth and hustled around
as if they did not live in the land Of
