United States will get the big emu
of the trade; that where it means
one dollar profit to the Canadians
If will mean ten to the citizens OF
the United States. This is putting
the matter on strictly commercial
basis and not taking into account
the spirit of friendship the arrange
ment will undoubtedly promote.
The bill gives the 93,00O,000 peo-
pie of the United States free trade

sized territory of Canada, which has
only 1000. 1000 people to compete
with us. The United States now sends

the revenue. Canada sends to the
United States only $4,000, 00o
worth This will be all the goods on
which the United States will lose the
duty. With freer trade our exports
will certainly grow. If the goods
from the United States have been
able to compete in Canada with thf

ATHLETICS AS DRINK CURE.
In England Football Has Caused
Desertion of Saloons.

1t has long been an athletic tru-
ism that drink and play do not go
well together. 1t is not so well
known, however, nor so generally
believed that there is logical con-
flict between alcohol and looking on
at games. That this is true seems TO
be borne out. however, by the testi-
mony OF recent observers in Eng
land. The little island is football
mad and the frenzy is increasing 10
the great perturbation Of the cricket
enthusiasts. Thousands crowd to see
the games every Saturday during tne
season. AS consequence the pubilc
houses are deserted.
A few years ago the workers
f1ocked to the bar when their work
was done, and left the publican per-
hans ten or fifteen shillings of their
weekly wage of twenty-five or thlr-
nv. now they spend a single shining
or less for sight of good game OF
football. This is not to say they &c

SHOOTING AT SANFORD

Lyman Carter was shot twice in
the lower part of the abdomen by
VIM. G. Spencer this morning.
Both are well known and respected
residents of Sanford. They are
brothers-in-law, Mrs. Spencer be-
ing sister of Carter. The trouble
leading to the shooting seems to
have been over ditch which Mr..
Spencer was cleaning out Mr.
Carter came along and objected to
the work or to the method of doing
it. Spencer, it is said, told him to
mind his own business. High
words followed and Carter. who is
a much younger man than Spencer
and of strong build, offered to fight.
Spencer told him he wanted no
trouble and asked him to go away.
Carter insisted on a fight and
started for him when Spencer
whipped out a 30 revolver and
shot twice at close range.
Chas. f. johnson, John and
Mary Dyer and Nellie Carter wit
messed the affair.
The shooting is generally re-
garded as an act of self defense
Drs. Orr and Schenck will ope-
