Recent advices from Buenos Ayres,
via London, contained the more or
less startling announcement that all
the republics of South America, alarm
ed by the hiGhhandedness of the Unit
ed States, were forming an alliance to
resist the aggressions Of this country.
The promptness with which the diplo-
matte representatives of these repub-
lies at Washington disayowed the
slightest hostile feeling toward the
United States was scarcely needed to
show the absurdity Of the canard,
though such assurance was gratifying
to the state department The South
American states during the last year
or two have been gradually getting
closer together in their commercial re-
lations and Kidding themselves of many
of the jealousies which have stood in
the way of their international trade
and comfy. They may be assured that
any union among themselves which
will promote their prosperity and ad-
vance In civilization will be heartily
welcomed by their older and greater
sister republic of North America, who
Is their natural and willing protector
against possible encroachmentS from
the old world. The pacific attitude Of
the United States toward the repub-
lies of Central and South America Is
amply demonstrated by our good Of
fees in the Venezuela controversy.

LETTER TO DAViD-hAYNES.
Island Pond. VI.

Dear Sir; You understand grinding
wheat, buckwheat, rye, oats and com.
We understand grinding whitehead and
white-zinc. The two sorts of grinding
are not much alike. Very likely oats
and wheat behave very differently in
the mill, and you manage them differ
ently-we know very little about your
work don't need to; we'd rather de
pend on you.
But we paint your house and Midland
out-buildings perhaps you'd he glad to
know about grinding paint for some
people mix their paint with stick i'll a
tub.
We use lead and 2inc-no.hiug else
And our zine is as tough as your oats
Tub-mixers imagine they mix it, They
don't; they can't. Takes grinding to
mix lead and zinc.
They are both white. Tub-mixers
don't know it; but tub-mixed lead and
zinc is streak of one alongside Of Il
streak of the other.
We grind as You grind; and our
paint is lead and zinc ground together,
mixed intimately: it is neither lead nor
zinc, but lead and zine: the lead is lost,
and the zinc is lost each lost in the
other: both lost in the mixture. Lead
chalks and zinc peels; lead and zinc
ground together hang on and protect
each other.
We take care of your mill outside;
you take care Of it inside.
Yours truly,
+. W. DEvOE & Co.

The figures Of the United States
treasury report on the output Of iron
ore and the manufacture and export
Of iron and steel products for the past
fiscal year tell marvellous story Of
the triumphs of the American work
shop. The total exports of iron and
steel and manufactures thereof in the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1890, were
500, 1881 against SIC, 406,S95 in 1893,
$57 ,497,S72 in 1897 and SAL, 160,977 in
1906. From these comparisons 1t will
be seen that the exports in 1890 were
more than double those of 1896. If
iron is king In the industrial world,
the ultimate supremacy of America in
manufacturing is clearly foreshadow-
ed in these fiCnres.

The Diet Fad.

Sensible people have learned that the
best diet is a variety of wholesome food.
If the digestive apparatus is out of order
no amount of starvation diet will
regulate it, but will tend to aggrayate
rather than remedy the ailment. If you
are bilious, dyspeptic, liver torpid, bow
els constipated, yellow with jaundice, or
have sick head ache, cure yourself with
Bakers Mandrake Bitters. and then eat
reasonably of wholesome food and enjoy
1t. After you are cured an occasional
dose of Bakers Mandrake Bitters will
keep you well. Price % cents per bot
tie, also in tablets same price. All drug
gists guarantee it to cure or money back.

How We Did Not Annex santo Do
mluun-

In view OF the somewhat disturbed
condition OF Santo Domingo as a re-
sult OF the assassination Of President
Heureaux, there has been not little
speculation aud conjecture as 10 the
future welfare OF the republic. The suc.
gestion made In some quarters TO an-
neI the island 10 the United States re-
cails an incident in history OF which
comparatively little has been written.
II relates to a movement 10 make San
10 Domingo 4 part Of the United
States. which came very near being
consummated. In 1867 Senior Buena-
ventura Baez, then president of the
Dominican republic. sent a communi-
cation TO General Grant, then presi-
dent OF the United States, making q
proposition for the annexation Of the
island to this country under reason
able conditions. President Grant was
delighted with the proposition and at
once made such arrangements as were
within the province of the chief execu-
tive to accept the proffered sovereignty.
The legislative branch Of the Domini-
can government heartily approved the
action Of President Baez. but when 1t
came to securing the sanction of the
United States senate there was hitch.
After a hard battle the annexation
scheme was defeated on n close vote.
Grant was deeply disappointed and
when urged later TO make another eff
fort to secure senatorial approval Of
the measure said: 81 have done my
duty. am entirely willing to let the
Judgment of posterity determine be-
tween the senate and me as to the wis
dom of adding such splendid posses
sion to our national domain and of Sc
curing such a superb strategic position
