TVASirrxGTOX, Feb. matter of Canadian reciprocity is getting an impetus from the practical beginning made with Brazil. There is.no provision in the Mclvinley law which will enable the executive departments to conclude an arrangement with Canada. Congress must first show a pathway. Then Secretary Blaine will undoubtedly soon find a thoroughfare.

The unmistakable favor with which the Brazilian treaty has been received gives some hope that Mr. Hitt's resolution or something like it will be adopted this session. Jt merely provides that when it is duly certified to the President that the Dominion of Canada has declared a desire to establish commercial union with the United States he shall appoint three commissioners to; meet those who may be designated to represent the Government of Canada to prepare a plan, which must be ratified by Congress. The Brazilian reciprocity treaty grows in favor. The more carefully the list of articles admitted free is ex-'' amined the more comprehensive the treaty appears.

The same is true of the 'articles on which the reduction of 25 per cent, is made. In ie circles the treaty is discussed with special reference to its bearing on othex countries. Brazil is in area and population by far the largest country in South America. Its neighbors can hardly afford to keep from following its course in making a trade al- lincae with the United States. Had the monarchy of Dom Pedro continued it is possible the intrigues of the European Governments would have prevented the consummation of any reciprocity treaty.

But the unfriendliness of the Old World monarchs and their tardiness in recognizing. the defeated its own purpose and made the Brazilian Government the more anxious to draw itself closer to the United States. In this country the treaty is looked on chiefly in the light of trade relations 1 In Brazil it is viewed more in its political light as an enduring alliance with the most powerful Republic in the world. It means to Brazil that no reaction will ever restore monarchical institutions and no outside interference will ever tolerated. The effect of the treaty on other countries will be roost marked in the ease of Spain.

The rich Brazilian sugar plantations can now be worked profitably, and Brazil can supply a fair share of the amount consumed in United States should the Cuban market be shut off. In the course of three or four years this'country would become independent of Cuba for its sugar Spain can never afford to permit The increased duty it laid on flour and other prodncts of the United States nine months- ago will have to be swept away and further concessions made. If this be not done "Cuba will enjoy a. free sugar market in the United States for nine months only. The arrangement with Brazil, in justice to that country, will make it necessary for the President to issue his proclamation directing the restoration of the sugar duty against such sugar- producing countries as have not come to time.

With free sugar the consumption in the United certain to be enormously increased, so that there will be no lack of a market or the countries which are shrewd.enough to take ad vantage of the conditions offered the United States. It is believed that by the admission of fkmr the United ought to its'trade with Brazil that article: Lost year the shipment, from this country was about 475,000 barrels. There-are large importations', of potatoes, which have to pay a duty of 5 per cent. ad valorem. potato raisers in the United they have surplus, can now dispose of it without increasing the cost by a tariff duty.

Hay 'is brought from the river Plate and oats from Scotland. -With a free market the 'United States can'pretty nearly meet that Of late years, the consumption of salt, pork and bacon. United States it ought to have''a, genuine booml v. The field for'agricultural implements will have to be studied carefully; as articles 'are required. The free admission of mining and me-.

ehanical tools ought to open a vast business for Amerjcan manufacturers. In sugar machinery there are immense opportunities. Railway'construction, material ought also to prove a profitable opening, for no will be required on it and several railroads are projected. Under the provisions admitting lard, hams, butter, choese, canned meats, fruits, vegetables and fish, manufactr ured cotton, iron and steel; furniture, carts and carriages, and manufactured rubber at a reduction per cent, on existing and future duties, the United States, has secured an: enormous advantage-. is.alarire GOV.

BOYD'S FIRST MESSAGE. He Advises the Jfebraskn LcgiiilRture Pursue a. Conservative Course. Liscow, hall was well filled Friday morning and the galleries were overflowing with those anxious to hear the new Governor's inaugurtil address. The message was listened with respectful attention.

Governor Boyd ccranseled wisdom, patriotism, economy and fairness in the work of the Legislative body, and pledged his hearty support to any legislation in that line, lie advised against any reduction of the interest rate on account of the fact that this was a new State and. in need of capital to aid in its development, but urged radical legislation against usury. He strongly advocated a reform in the system of voting, founded on the so-called Australian ballot system, advising against the enactment of sumptuary laws, and advised the Legislature to take the people at their word in the late defeat of the prohibitory amendment. He discussed the railroad question at some length, and presented the great need of regulation of the rate question so that cheaper rates might be secured, but rather advised against a maxLmxim rate law, and thought that a railroad commission elected by the people could handle the question better. He recommended a liberal appropriation for the Columbian exposition at Chicago.

He suggested that Presidential electors be elected, two at large, and the others'by Congressional districts. Bring your Girls-to Ajid have them fitted to a BIG STRIKE THREATENED.
