We have always advocated great caution to
our West Indian readers when dealing
with the soacalled merchants. who assiduously
flood the Colonies with circulars equally
plausible, and a great deal more misleading,
than the specious emanations Of the much
decried bucket shop.
Our advice has always been to deal only
with recognized houses, even though their
charges may be a little higher than the
modest rate Of commission thankfully
accepted by gentlemen Of the class figuring
in the above Police court notice. The
wisdom Of such advice has been repeatedly
established by just such shameful exposures
as that we have just chronicled and yet the
West Indians lay claim to no small amount Of
commercial acuteness.-Ibid

A Midland Counties trade journal declares
that there can be no question that the recl-
prooal treaties made by the United States
under Republican influence and Mckinley
inspiration, with Brazil, Cuba, San Domingo,
the British West Indies, and D9merara, have
to some extent injured British interests. At
the same time they have not been beneficial
to the majority of the contracting parties.
The United States alone have received thead
vantages, Cuba is the greatest f%ufferera amongst
these treaty countries. In Cuba files and
tools imported from England are made to
pay a duty of tan dollars per cwt,, while the
same class of articles manufactured IN
America are admitted duty free. The adyan-
tage to the United States is great, the benefit
to Cuba is nI. The competing sugar pro
ducing countries named above are allowed to
send sugar INTO the States duty free. At
the same time the United States further pro-
tects its interests by a bounty Of two cents
per lb. on homemade sugar. The Gu
bans are now receiving nothing in return for
the enormous monopoly they have given to
the Americans. Should the present discomfort
continue, our manufacturers must be on the
alert to profit by it in every way posi-

PHOSPHATES IN THE WEST
INDIES.

The following interesting particulars
are from the pen of Mr.. Geo. Hughes,
analytical chemist, which appeared in the
Field
Some few years back | read a paper at the
Geological Society (Uide Journal on this
question. The Observations on this metam-
orphosis Of carbonate Of lime into phosphate
of lime, were made by me when examining
some phosphate deposits in the West Indies,
particularly in the islands of A1ube and
Barbuda. In the latter island, in a cave. I
found a piece of coral conglomerate half the
stone being phosphate and the other half
carbonate, although clearly, from the forma-
ton. it must have been all coral. This
specimen is to he seen in the museum of the
late DIR. Voelcker, to whom ] gave it. From
the specimen, it was quite clear that the
change was due to the IT placement of the
carbonic acid by p%hosphoric ac4l, which had
Dercolated through a section of the stone, and
this phoephoric acid was derived FROM
surface bird guano in the cave.ssBy this process
n depositp of thousands of tons Of phosphate,
testing over 10 per cent. tribasic phosphate
of lime, has been found, and is now being
shipped t. this country from what was once
the Coral Hill Of Sierra Colorado, in Aruba,
where the metamorphosis had taken place from
the drainage Of bird gIauo alone.
Ny theory has been accepted, and is the
solution of the formation of many deposits of
phosphates, the sources of which had hitherto
been obscure.
Since reading that paper have practically
determined that the metamorphosis cannot
take place except in the presence of carbonio
acid, and this is the point to which /
particularly wish to draw attention Prac-
tically no reaction will take place between
carbonate of lime and ammonia, or alkaline
phosphates, except in the presence of this
lime solvent, which would be generated from
decomposing organic matter, as well as from
the atmosphere. By the action of the
carbonio acid the limestone is dissolved into
biscarbonate of lime, and Immediately the
lime is thus rendered soluble, it is re-
precipitated to the phosphoric acid of the
alkaline phosphate, and then the double
decomposition takes place, as now stated
by NJ. Armand Gautier and myself in the
paper referred to.
This fact, as you Estate, is not without
interest to agriculturists. But for it many
valuable sources of phosphate of lime would
have been lost. 1t is quite unnecessary for me
to point out the important place ~rhosphates
hold in the economy of agriculture Ibid

connection with two bills given to Mr..
Buckingham by Hill. The first Of these was
drawn by j. Fl, Allen & Go. upon Lloyd,

The uncertainties and failure of the cocoa
crops of Dominica during a number of years,
have led to an inquiry into the causes by the
Superintendent of Agriculture for the Lee
ward Islands, The report has been publish
oil in the Leeward Islands Gazette, and it is
hoped that the Government will take action
in one at Toast, of it's suggestions, viz. the
desirability Of establishing a system of APP
premiership at the botanic station. A sum
not exceeding $40 per annum should be set
apart for each of, say five, Of the older boys
from the primary schools, who should be con
sidered fit to receive instructions in pruning,
grating, potting, manuring and other opera
tions corried on at the botanic station in
Rosoau. The penoG of training need not
exceed six months in the case of brighter lads,
but should be continued until the Curator
could feel justified in granting a certificate Of
competency.

THE Philadelphia North american
very sensibly remarks that if Com
missioner of Pensions Lochren is re-
ported correctly his ideas of pensions
are excellent, and we hope he will
carry them into effect. They convey
no menace to the deserving veteran or
his family. A pension is not reward
like a bounty offered to induce men to
take service. A pension is the pay
ment nation makes to indemnify its
citizens or subjects for damage sus-
tained by reason of service. Pensions
to veteran soldiers are in the nature Of
insurance paid by instalments to such
persons as have been disabled in mill
tary service, either by wounds or by
sickness brought on by exposure.
There is not a particle of doubt that
thousands now receiving this insur-
ance money are not entitled to it,.
Almost every observing person can
see this and does see it. Why pay
money to such persons, who have no
disabilities traceable to service? Why
not save the money for the deserving
veterans, some of whom find it diff
cult to procure a pension owing to
some technical error or omission,
but who may some day be able to
make the necessary proof? Pensioners
are not paupers, but deserving benef-
ciaries. They have earned all they
get, and sometimes much more than
they get, but there is limit to insur-
ance, even if a nation is the insurer
or underwater. Being a soldier him
self, Judge Lochren may be trusted
to do as little injustice to veterans as
anybody.

BAKER BALLOT LAW.

The Legislature just adjourned
made several important changes in
the Baker Ballot law, among which
was the decrease in the size of the
ballot, reducing it TO one-hslf its
former size. Only one set Of ballots
and sample ballots are necessary. Re
duces the percentage for party nom
nations from three to two. Increases
the time allowed for printing the
ballots. Provides that the printing
of the ballots for spring elections shall
be done under the supervision of the
County Commissioners. Certificates
of nominations for members of the
House of Represent tatives shall be filed
with the County Commissioners, in.
stead of the Secretary of the Common
wealth. Provides that one mark in
a circle at the top of a column of cam
didates shall be vote for every one
in that column. Where the circle is
not marked mark for every oandi.
date voted for is required. A screen
or door must be placed on the front of
each booth, thereby better securing
privacy. Provides for greater thick
ness of paper for tallots and the
corner of the ballot folded over shall
be printed black, so that the number
cannot be seen through the paper.
In case voter votes for more persons
than he is entitled to, the ballot shall
not be entirely thrown out, but so
much of the ballot as is properly
marked shall be counted. The disa-
bility clause of the act of 1891 is un-
changed, but penal clause is provi-
ded for any one who falsely represents
his disability.

THERE has not been very much

have seen at a glance that they cannot

house running. Hence they are pretty
still; but the fact that wise men will
get up and declare that American
manufacturers can successfully
compete with European man ufactuT-
ers when our country pays 81 in
wages, where the other country pays
81; where one country, too, has its
mines close by its factories, iUs factories
close by its ships, il ships ready at
any time to transport to the uttermost
parts of the world any foreign manu-
featured goods; to say that our new
country, with roads undeveloped, with
mines undeveloped, with wages two
to one against those Of England, Ito
say that such country, without the
support Of the Government behind H.

of arithmetic and logic, and to adveT-
