Trade with Southern Countries.

Foreign trade with the countries with
which we had reciprocal treaties under
the Mckinley bill is beginning to show
the effects of the new tariff law.
Following close upon the announce
ment that Spain has qaadrnpled The
duty on American -four imported into
Cuba, and has raised p oportionately
her cXactions upon other American pro-
duets, which had been given special con-
cessions under the reciprocity arrange
ment. comes definite notification from
the Government of Brazil that the re-
ciproeity treaty between that republic
and our own will be abrogated ON the
first of January next. 1t Is expected
that the former duties upon American
products will be restored, if indeed they
are not increased
Under this treaty To be terminated
we have been permitted to send to Bra
I'll, free of duty, wheat, flour. corn. rye.
and other cereals, hay. salt pork, dry
and salt fish, agricultural implements
and machinery. mining and manufacture
ing tools, and implements and articles Of
railroad construction. The Brazilian
Government also RENTED y per cent.
of it duties ON our lard. bacon. butter.
cheese, manufactures OF cotton. certain
manufactures of leather, lumber and
various manufactures of wood and rub
Der. In return, we admitted free Bra
lillian sugar, molasses, coffee aud hides.
inder this arrangement With Brazil, our
exports to that country rose from SID
100000 in lSS9 to S23, 900, 900 in 1892
Now this trade is likely to fall off very
greatly.

The nomination of senator David b.
Hill. the great Tammanv chieftain, for
Governor of the great State of New
\ ork, apparently against his wishes and
urgent remonstrances, after in vain try
ing to get any Other available candidate
to stand for the high office was the
political event of last week that created
more excitement and interest than all
other political affairs since the adjourn
ment of Congress and has caused much
in the way of newspaper comment. The
concensus of opinion seems to be that
the nomination of Hin was in the nature
of folorn hope TO the New \ olk Demo
cracy. Without him to head the ticket
and with the strong nomination made by
Republicans, the Democracy WAS whip
ped ON the start. Now the party has Il
fighting chance. 1t appears Hill was
anxious that some one else should head
the ticket and make the inevitable sicri-
lice-some Cleveland mau-hut none
could be found of sufficient prominence
to accept the honor and he was obliged
to step into the breach himself. The
fight viii be Il red hot one between
Morton and Hill with the chances
strongly in favor of the Republican
candidate. Hill cannot unite the factions
of his party.

Who fixed the duty on lime has been
something of a problem in Knox County
the great lime producing county of our
State. 1t appeared strange that this
manufactured article should fare so
much better than most of Maine pro-
duets hut it now comes cut that Senator
Daniels of Virginia had the matter fixed
at cents per hundred pounds to pro-
tect lime manufacturing in his own
State. Thus the Democratic Senate was
very ready to take care of Nrginia's in
terests on demand of Senator Daniels
and could not avoid ut the same time the
same protection to lime in Maine. 1t is
said that Daniels told the managers of
the bill he asked but one thing. and that
was to be allowed to fix the duty on
lime, and that he would not vote for the
bill otherwise. This is the way this
patchwork tarif' bill was made up.

Road and Ferry In Starks.

The County Commissioners were In
Stark Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day of last week in response to the pc
tilion praying for the laying out Of q
piece of road and establishment Of a
ferry and for the discrimination Of the
ferries established years ago and now
in use there.
The two ferries HOW in use on the
Sandy river in Starks are some six miles
apart the way the road runs, one at
Davis Ferry across the river where it
forms the boundary. between Starks
and Mercer, and the other near the
boundary of Starks and Madison, about
a half mile from the confluence OF the
Sandy and kennebcc rivers. The ferry
asked for Is not far from midway be
tween these Two point. and l. designed
to accommodate people Who desire to
come from etarks village and the con
ter of the town toward Norridgewock. or
who desire To reach thai part of the
town from the direction OF Norridgc.
wocl on the west side of the kcnnebcc.
The Commissioners decided to lay ont
the piece of toad asked Tor from point
/ on tho road running westerly from the
fordWay across the sandy river to
Starks village. near the residence of j.
". Quimby in Il south-eastefly direction
to Il point on the road running north and
south ola the west side Of the Sandy
river near the residence of J. Wood.
thence across the river Ia point N the
road running north and south on the
east side of the river near the residence
of l., +. Butler. This road line is trihe
less than one mile.
The commissioners also established a
ferry at the point where this line crosse,
the Sandy river, but they decided not tc
discontinue either of the other tive
ferries as asked for by the petitioners
for the reason that their maintenance By
the town is at very small expense not
much above SIS each per year and theil
/ di,contunance the commissioners con
cludcd would be to the detrimcnt OF
certain citizens and tax payers of tn,
i town.
The action of the commissioners
after thorough examination of the
premises and full hearing of the parties
represented by attorneys, Hon. s. j
Walton for the petitioners and G.. \
! WILDER for the remonstrants was at last il
| the nature of an agreement between tn,
opposing parties aud generally conceded
to be in the interest of the public anC
many citizens of the town of Stalks
The petitioners did not care for the dis
continuance of the present ferries st
long as they got their piece of new roaC
and new ferry, aud the remoustrant.
while opposed to the new ferry and roac
were more anxious to save the old fcrrie.
than to defeat the location of the new
one.
The expense of building the road anC
establishing the ferry laid out, is est
mated to be from $3.50 to 500. There i.
some talk of Il bridge across the Sandy
at this point and it would be great con
vcnience, there being no bridge across
this river in the town of Starks. Tn,
bridge would be quite expensive as
the river is subject to sudden rises ant
the bridge must be quite a high one ant
some 300 feet loDV
