DEAR Siti—We beg to supplement our previcus communication, to you containing the views of the Presidaat, the secretary of War and the Mill- tary Governor of Cub as to the necessity for a red fprocity treaty which will enable her to live, with the euclused condensed address of Hon, A. B. Farquhar before the Academy of Science at Pufladelphla. No ong is better qualiied to spe .k on this subject than Mr. Fuiquhar, and you will be juterested in reading whal he says. No matter what action is taken on other recipro- city troaties, that with Cuba should be promptly made and ratified, for the industrial and political situation there is acu e.

B. THURBER, Prest, U. 8. Export Asp, New York. J Dear Sir:-I have received your several communications enclosing ex- tracts from the President's message, views of Secretary of War Root and of Mr. Farquhar, and read them with con- siderable interest. Ia my opinion our Government should deal justly with! Cuba and possibly owes more to her prosperity than she does to other na- tions. Dut it is singular th at only the poor Cuban farmer shall be taken into cousideration, The prime object of the promoters of this scheme is to open trade for the American manufacturers, American Traders and American Bankers, but no thought is given to the poor American farmer and planter who barely ekes out an existence by producing the semi-tropical fruits aud raw cane and beet sugars Farmers of this country are uot ready to step into the trap of interested speculators un- til they know more as to how it shall aflect them. If we are to have free trade and reci- preeity for the American farmer lo contend with, let us throw open wide the doors of commercialism, so that the farmer can also buy iu the cheapest markets of the world. Really, what the American farmer most peeds, under the present depress ed conditions, Is a bounty on the ex- Mr LOCALS, Roy Linn, a ten-year-old son of Jobn Lion, of Watsontown, Friday fell through the ice of a pool and drowned.

They but their women and children must toil io the fields as they do in many of the cheap labor countries of the world, The American laborer is no longer willing to husk corn, pitch hay, remove rocks and toil in the burning sun ; therefore the farmer and his family must do this work at a wage rate not exceeding twenty-five cents a day or leave it undone, Why not help the toiling American furmer first? An export bounty of ten cents on a bushel on wheat might cost the © vorpment fifteeu million dollars. i. wou « enhance the price of the four hundred million bushels of! wheat that is consumed at home at | least ten cents a bushel, without cost- ing the Government one cent, thus addiog forty millions dollars to the farmers’ returns tor his labor. Apply this same rule to other staple agricul- tural products exported, the price of which is fixed in the foreign markets, ‘TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS. HAPPENINGS OF LOCAL INTERE FROM ALL PARTS. W. OC.

Blaine who said | 3 that “you could never add a penny to a J I J a tarifl ; that the prices of these pro-| ducts were fixed in Liverpool, and | the Liverpool priee, the cost of trans | portation.” If that be true, the only | way you protect the farmer, offset the protection the American | mauufacturer receives by a tariff, is by an export bounty. You had better take the tariff away from the sugar refloeries instead of from the producers of raw sugar in this country. The farmer Las been fooled often enough.
