The searching party that have been

The searching party that have been
dragging the lake so faithfully the past
week in hopes of discovering the body Of
Z. Blackmer have given upin dispair and
say emphatically that he is not to be
found. The thorough means that this
party adopted and the drag they used
must settle definitely the fact for the
present at least that some other disposi-
ton was made of his body if suicide
was committed which is most unani-
mously discredited at this place. Most
everybody here is OF the opinion that he
took his departure for some place un-
known to his friends and will remain
absent until his money is exhausted when
he will turn up all right. This theory
appears to be the most feasible, when
everything is carefully considered leading
up to his mysterious disappearance. The
Sun from the first maintained that he
was not in the lake which has been
practically demonstrated by the faithful,
energetic work of the conscientious
searching party consisting of a number OF
our citizens whose work has been vigor-
ously pushed TO their satisfaction and
has revealed nothing which could posi-
bly, be construed as giving the faintest
semblance of his being in the.Iake This
must settle the controversy for the pres
emit and we leave his case shrouded in
mystery as deeply now as it ever was
for time to nravel-[ Melrose Sun.

G. NICHOLSON, Bradford, Eng.-"Yes,
the Mckinley bill has practically ruined
the American trade of Bradford, as Nc
Kinley intended it should, but the Brad
ford trade is not wholly confined to
America. We do large trade with the
Argentine Republic and other South
American countries, and the financial
disturbances, which seem to be world
wide, are doing great deal of harm in
that part of the universe.
1t must be evident to the average
American that it is very unkind and un-
neighborly for this country to legislste
adversely to the interests of English manu-
tacturers, and a democratic congress,
pledged to repeal this ubiquitous and
unconstitutional Mckinley bill. ought
not to delay in giving Bradford, Eng.
the relief so urgently desired. Of course,
the repeal CT the bill will cripple American
manufacturing to just the extent that it
benifts English manufactures, but what
is the democratic party for, if not to
fulfill its free trade pledges? By all
means, let it address itselfto stimulating
the dress goods industry of Bradford.

Canada and Australia are the principal
competitors for supplying this deficiency
and in about the same proportion is the
deficiency in the foreign market for the
the other articles OF substantial food.
Now this is the size and the capacity
of the foreign markets for wheat
and other farm products and is it any
wonder that it is glutted and fluctuat
ing when the products of the above
named countries are poured into it, and
with the exception of the United States
these products the result OF cheap labor.
We ask the American farmer in all cam
dor is he prepared to follow the advice
given and take his products to foreign
markets to sell, or to exchange for other
commodities as free traders term it.
Do you care to compete with India
wheat, where the farmer can hire all the
labor he requires at SIX to eight cents
per man per day. In India you can hire
$50 men for day on the interest alone
on the money the American farmer paws
for his reaper here, and besides the lands
are rich and fertile. Farmers of Mime
sofa, Stearns county, do you in view of
the above facts want to give up the home
market and to sell your productsto meet
such competition and manufacturers of
the United States do you want to ship
your product to men who get seven to
eight cents per day or even to those who
secure the highest wages in foreign coun-
tries? Do they possess the means to buy
and pay for your commodities. like the
American laborer? We think not. This
is not a fancy sketch. but truth, not
maxims but markets, not theories but
facts. You have your choice, which
shall it be? You alone must decide.

WHAT MAY NE ExPEcr2

Congress convenes a week from next
Monday and will grapple with the finan-
cial situation, and the country is looking
Washingtonward for relief The situa-
tion is peculiar. For the first time in a
third of century the democratic party
is in full control of the legislative and
executive branches of the government,
and very serious state of affairs con-
fronts the party. Its platform pledges
legislation which will work radical
changes in the industrial and financial
situation. Practical free trade and the
establishment of the state banking
system as it existed before the war are
among the features of the platform upon
which the party came into power, and
while it is not probable that congress
will at once enact into law its campaign
resolutions, yet the feeling that 1t may
do so in the near future, is disturbing
element in the present unfavorable con-
dition of economic affairs. The HERALD
does not believe that Mr.. Cleveland, so
far as he has influence in legislature, will
lend it to sudden subversive legislation,
and yet there is large element in the
democratic party, notably from the
south, who are now as ever, imbued
with the doctrine of state rights, a
doctrine width logically tends to free
trade and state banking. They are
sincere in their faith. and in an attempt
to force legislation to accomplish their
ends will plead the Chicago platform.
How they are to be met, if at all, will
tax the ingenuity of the natural and
protective wing of the party-that wing
which recognizes in Mr.. Cleveland their
most potent representative. For while
elected upon that platform, it can scarcely
be denied that he looks with disfavor
upon the ultra attitude of Neal andWat-
tersou, who forced the convention to
substitute for their mild tariff reform
plank reported by the committee, the
radical free trade resolution which was
incorporated into the declaration of
principles Of the convention. To what
extent the present strained financial
situation is due to the expectation or
fear OF that platform is question OF
individual opinion, but it would be
violent assumption to charge the entire
responsibility to the Sherman silver law,
although it is undoubtedly a factor OF
consequence.
Ifcongress could speedily dispose of
the silver question upon a basis which
would inspire confidence in the stability
and value of our currency, and assure
the people the the present industrial and
commercial relations with the world at
large will not be seriously modified, and
clinch the assurance by early adjourn
ment, confidence would not long be with
held, and the country would soon rejoice
in restored activity.

1t seems useless to ask the question, in
view of these facts. What would be the
effect on prices were we to require from
abroad such quantity of goods. What
good times" the manufacture of these
goods would create in other countries,
and we would pay the highest price for
them, much higher than if they were
manufactured in this country. What
would be the effect on our labor? The
question is easily answered by even the
dullest intellect. There would be moth
ing here for labor to do, but, consoling
thought, as held out by our democratic
statesmen, labor could go and do some
thing else, 60 to farming for instance
and thus help to make greater glut OF
farm products in the much coveted mar
kers of the world so that they would
bring little or no price. What an excel
lent chance to capture those markets,
and instead of selling in home market,
like we now have under protection, at
comparatively low cost of transporta-
ton, our farmers could pay the expen-
sion freights to the markets of the world
and then sell tor what they could get.
No one denies that the producer must
pay the cost, freight, handling, commits
sion and other charges of getting his
product to markes, and how could
we pay for these imports. 1t must be
done in gold.
Now as to the product of the farm.
There is but one country in Europe that
is unable, in some form or other, to raise
food enough to feed its own people, at
least to keep them from starving, and
that country is England. She, on ac-
count of her dense population, is com
PEELED to buy food. The other countries
buy food to some extent, but they can
raise nearly enough to feed their own
people. Wheat may be said to be the
great agricultural staple and the crop
ofthe whole world is computed at 2, 1oo,-
100000 bushels. Ofthis quantity about
LOO 100000 bushels are grown in
Europe. about $50 1000, 900 in the
United States 2s7, 0oo, 900, bushels in
India, and the remainder in other parts
of the world. Eastern Europe has sur
plus and Western Europe alone has
a deficiency, and this one year with an
other is about zoe, 900 900 bushels. and

THE MARKETS OF THE WORLD.

Editor Herald
Last week we considered the home
market and we will now take glance
at the markets of the world which we
are SO often and repeatedly urged to
patronize. To some people they seem 10
be illimitable and can can easily consume
the whole product of the earth and all
thereon and therein. Fifty years of ex-
perience in the development of the pro-
ducing power of steam and machinery
have taught the practical business man
a new lesson. The fact is that the
power of steam machinery and electrici-
ty, and other modern agents of pIodnc-
ton and distribution of commodities,
now possessed by nearly all nations have
overtaken the capacity of the markets
of the world to consume their products.
and that the development of the capaci-
ty of these modern agencies of produc-
ton under constant Improvement and
invention is faster than the development
of the capacity of the accessible markets
of the world to consume their products,
therefore absolute cheapness of product
is no longer an indication of profitable
production and sale. Suppose we should
open our "home market to the world
and by so doing capture the markets of
the entire world what would be gain.
As before stated in our article on home
market the value of the freights carried
by our railroads alone, to say nothing OF
that carried by other means, in 1889
was in round numbers almost $14. 00O,-
100000. The aggregate value of the
imports for 1888 of Great Britain,
France. Germany, Russia, Austria, Spain,
Belgium, Portugal, Italy, Turkey,
Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and
Sweden, Greece, Netherlands. Mexico,
Bolivia, Brazil, China, Japan, Ecuador,
Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentine, Venezu-
ella, Peru, Guatemala, Corea, Hayti,
Hawaii, Morocco and Nicaragua was
Sc, 710, 46S, 400. From this sum deduct
our exports to these countries, $780,
600, 1000, and we have as imports of the
world in their own ports, the sum OF
Sc, O5O, 46S. 4OS, or less than half the
value of the freights carried on our own
railroads. In other words from our
railroad freights alone we could have
supplied all the imports of the world;
except our own, and have had left about
$4,000, 100000. What would we do
with this latter sum and more too, to
whom would we sell it? Certainly not
in the markets of the world.
Again, our annual products, other than
agricultural, are now valued at about
$1,000, 100000. Suppose that we adopt
theIfree trade mottos "Buy where we can
buy the cheapest, and BUY from others
that we may sell to Them" and we
should try to buy even one-half of this
quantity of goods in 1.-THE markets Of
the world" $3,EOO.O0O,OoO. This is
more than the total annual exports of

The young ladies who rendered the
young gentlemen hayrack ride and pic
mic at Fairy Lake on Tuesday met with
a very comical discontinue, of which
they have very little to say. The hay
rack poet was present, however, and
taking in the scene. burst forth into
song as follows:
How fresh in my mind is that last hay
rack party,
That went for picnic to SWEET Fairy

The girls in the height OF their jovial
spirit,
Decided that they the young fellows
would take,
So they got big hayrack, we into it
tumbled,
With chaperones jolly to show us the

Then out of the city we all gaily sailed.
For country excursion on that load
ofhay.
That old fashioned hayrack,
That big bulky hayrack,
That dear jolting hayrack,
O'erspread with new hay.
The ride progressed smoothly, and, oh.
we enjoyed it,
Till we reached the big hill by the old
Ashley creek;
When the tire from wheel broke away
and it left us
Right there on the bridge with vehi-
Gle weak.
We lifted and pounded to get the tire
back on
The wheel, without which we could
never proceed;
But with all our efforts we could not re-
place it;
The wreck was complete, we were
helpless indeed.
So we left the wrecked hayrack,
The poor crippled hayrack,
That now useless hayrack,
O'erspread with new hay.
We went to the picnic, then forth for a
wagon,
A young man of energy speedily went
He sough. far and near, at the house Of
farmer,
He found there the wagon for which
he was bent.
He quickly obtained it and back to the
party,
He came with cheer on the Wagon
astride;
Then with unalloyed pleasure we spent
the whole evening,
Now that we were safe for our Ions
homeward ride.

When wheel fell to pieces on that far

There was then nothing for it. the walk

Two miles and a half was very shor

So we started gailY to walk to Saul

And deserted the hayrack, o'erspreat

That broken down hayrack,
That now useless hayrack,

IT'S rule which we practice on ever,

To have good time, let no mis,hal

So we sung and enjoyed the walk ho1n

On which we had started on that loaG

We look for a good time, not in th'
