Our Foreign Possessions.
 Secretary Taft, in a recent address before the American Millers' Conven- tion in St. Louis, gave a graphic outline of the results accruing to the United States from it's dealings with Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. In Cuba, he explained, we have now ex- pended upwards of $500, 100000 and have never invited nor received sim gle cent in repayment, and in addition our efforts in behalf of Cuban liberty have resulted in casualties by death. wounds and disease of l4S officers and 4,100 enlisted men. The loss to our revenues by granting free entry of Porto Rican products to our markets amounts to $15,000y080 annually. To suppress the Philippine insurrection cost $17o,000,o00. And now" asked Secretary Taft in conclusion, what has the United States received in return for all her efforts, for all her expenditure, and all her responsibilities? Let us look at her trade with the islands. In the fiscal year 1895, the last normal year of Spanish occupation. the im- were $52.oe0,0e0; from Porto Rico, s. 000,0 900; and from the Philippine Is- lands, $5,e00, 900. In the fiscal year 1906. the imports into the United States from Cuba were ss5, 5,000.OO0; from Porto Rico, $19.0o0,008: and from the Philip pine Islands, $12.00o,0 900. The exports from the United States to Cuba in the fiscal year 1895. were $12,500.0O0; to Porto Rico. sS,0eo, 900; and to the Phil ippine Islands. $12e.00e. For the fiscal year 1906, the exports from the United States into Cuba were about s4S,000,- 600; into Porto Rico, $19.000,000; and into the Philippine Islands, $5,500, 900. This shows very considerable in- crease in the Cuban trade. a propor tionate increase in the Porto Rican trade, but a smaller increase. though considerable one. in the Philippine trade. In other words, the total trade with Cuba has increased from $65, ,000,- 900 to $130,000, 900; with Porto Rico. from $6.000,o00 to sss,00o,o0o, and with the Philippine Islands, from $5,000, 900 to $1S,00o,000 or a total increase in business done with these three islands of S11O 900 n00"

ALL MERCHANTS TO
CLOSE At 6 On
MONDAY \
THEY SIGNED A PETITION Yas.
TERDAY-WlLL NOT CLOSE soN
ONE AFTERNOON DURING THE
WEEK.

Beginning Monday afternoon, every
merchant in Brunswick will close his
place of business at G O'Clock and
win continue doing so until October
first.
A petition was yesterday circulated
among the merchants by a delega-
ton from the local clerks Union.
and without a single exception, every
merchant in the city signed the petit
tion.
The announcement that the clerks
and merchants Of the city have
reached an agreement as to the
closing hours win be received with
pleasure by the people of the city
generally. as it was feared at one
time that they would not be able to
come to terms. The clerks mt first
asked that the stores close at G every
day except one. when they should
close at j in the afternoon, thus Civ
ing them one afternoon off each
week. They also asked that the
stores be closed at 10 o'clock on
Saturday nights This the merchants
thought was most too much, and they
did not think they should be called
upon to close at ] on one afternoon
in the week nor at 10 on Saturday
nights.
The clerks then amended their pc
tition, asking only that the stores
close at in the afternoon during
the summer season, and this the
merchants willingly agreed to, and
the new hours will be put into force
next Monday afternoon. Early clos
ing has been in vogue in Brunswick

LAST spring when the Good

would evade the duty of enforcing
the no-license principle which had
been adopted by the people. That
slander was clearly refuted by the
record. Licenses that were in exist
ence were cancelled and the whis-
key selling absolutely stopped ex-
cept in that degree that was pro-
vided for in an ordinance pre-
sented to the council by the pres
ent republican candidate for may
or. Every pledge was redeemed,
every agreement carried out and
not one charge can be made OF
wrong doing on the part of the

satisfied because the previous two
councils have done the right thing

railroad bill as to make it a very
decent measure, but after few
hours rest and reflection the rail
roads called their tools in caucus
and ordered the amendments
all struck out and the caucus
measure pushed through. The
railroad law will be as harmless
as sucking dove. Great relief
we get through these corporation

should serve as warning to the
people of this place not to permit
party politics to take the place
of non-partizan action. John Wv
