worthy news TO report.
The latest authentic advces from Captain VIII

tell that on December 3 he and fifteen men
crossed the Shangan River and overlook Lobcn-
gula Next day they were joined by Captain
Barrow and twenty men, and had skirmlsh
with the Kings forces, who were not numerous.
Heavy rains then swclled the river. so that it

nesslike Democracy will not bring it into use
Not content with neglccting the opportunity
for forcing an entrance for American products
and manufactures into foreign markets, Chalr-
man Wilson and his deluded colleagues are at
tcmpting to undermine the Reciprocity treaties
negotiated under the last Administration.
Why do they adopt this insane policy! BE-
cause it squares with English Free-Trade IDEAS

The Continental nations do not give away

good business bargains whenever they lower

Hungary, Italy, France, Spain and other na-
tions have adopted a system of commercial
treaties based upon equitable conditions Of
reciprocity Their high tariffs are relaxed
whenever equivalent advantages can be Sc
cured for their exports. 1t is ii practical sys-
tenn grounded upon common sense. The home
market is stock in trade which is adequately
valued whenever commercial convention Is
flung away as Il gratuity. 1t Is made the basis
Of exchange on equitable principles, precisely
as sugar. molasscs, coffee and hides are at the
bottom Of the Reciprocity conventions nego-
