The Post an nounces that the negotiations betweer the United States and Brazil ( undci the reciprocity clause of the new tarifl law ) has resulted in the signing1 of an agreement by Secretary Bhiine and the Brazilian minister. The agreement goes into effect January 1 next. Under the provisions of the agree mcnt Brazil reduces her import charge : upon American products , farm , facto ry and mine , io the extent of abou ? 5,000,000 annually. It is expected i stimulus will be given to sugar impor tation which will be increased so tha in five years Brazil will be able to fur nish all the sugar required in th < United States. It is expected that , ii three years , Brazil will pay the Unitec States $ -5,000,000 in return for oui manufactures and products. [ Not oulj does Brazil place a great many Ameri can articles on the free list , but it i : arranged that on other articles in the manufacture of which Europe com petes with this country the tariff wil be lowered in our favor. President Harrison has issued u pro clamation setting forth that the Brazil ian minister has communicated to the secretary of state the fact that in due reciprocity and for the consideration oJ admission into the United States , free of all duty , of the articles enumerated in section 3 of the tariff act to-wit : Sugar , molasses , coffee and hides , the government of Brazil has , by legal en actment , authorized the admission from and after April 1 , 1891 , into all estab lished ports of entry of Brazil , free of duty , merchandise named , as follows , provided that such shall be the pro duct and manufacture of the United States : Wheat , wheat flour , corn or maize , and the manufactures thereof , including corn meal and'starch , rye , rye flour , buckwheat , buckwheat flour , barley , potatoes , beans , peas , hay , oats , pork salted , including pickled pork and bacon , except hams ; fish , salted , dried or pickled , cotton seed oil ; coal , anthracite and bituminous , rosin , tar , pitch and turpentine , agricultural tools , implements and machinery , min ing and mechanical tools , implements and machinery , including stationary , and portable engines and all machinery for manufacturing and industrial pur poses , except sewing machines , in struments and books for the arts and sciences , railway construction material and equipment.

The government of Brazil has further provided that the laws and regulations adopted to protect its revenue and pre vent fraud in declarations and proofs , etc. , shall place no undue restrictions on the importation nor impose any ad ditional changes or fees therefor on the articles imported. Paddock' * Pure Food Bill. WASHINGTON , Feb. 6. Senator Pad dock has authorized the following statement of his views as to the manner in which the Paddock pure food bill now pending would affect the packing tiouses : ' 'It will not throw a straw in the pathway of any honestly conducted business in Chicago or elsewhere. It is aimed at fraud and deception only. Its object is to protect the public against adulteration ; honest manufac turers against dishonest competition ( which the bill makes illegal ) , and to extend the export trade of the country jy definitely fixing a standard for our export products. In my judgment it will bo of very great benefit to every reputable industry engaged in the man ufacture of food products or of drugs. "The strong features of the bill , in my opinion , are the clear definitions of what shall constitute adulteration un der the law ; the simple yet effective machinery for its enforcement ; its universality of application ; its unques tionable constitutionality , and the cer tainty that it will have back of it the support of commercial honesty every where throughout the country. " "How will it affect food com pounds ? " "Ko food compound not injurious to the health , and which is labeled as a compound , comes under the prohibito ry clauses of the bill. The bill only requires that such articles shall be sold ander proper designations and not as .natations of other articles with a view ; o deceive unsuspecting purchasers. [ t thus interferes with no trade marks > r proprietary articles known under iistinctive names in commercial trans- ictions. In addition , the pure food ) ill provides against the fallibility of iciencev It allows appeals to the : ourts from the official tests of the ihemical division of-the department of igriculturq--and , provides both legal and scientific safeguards against pos sible errors in iho application of in provisions to trade. There are no ob noxious revenue stamps , no compli catcu machinery of spies and needles : provisos of tagging , stamping or rcg istcring. " Labor Demonstration In WASHINGTON , Feb. G. There was i monster labor meeting held at Gram Army hall last night , attended by htm dreds of Knights of Labor men ant their representative officers , amonj them Ilalph Beaumont , thewell-knowr Knights of Laborspeaker. . Among those who delivered speeches was Rep resentative Connell of Omaha , who was introduced as the author of the eight-hour bill , the passage of whicli was urged by the workingmen's organ izations. Mr. Connell said a startling condition of affairs existed in this country. The rich were growing richer , the poor poorer. One-half oi the entire wealth of the country was owned by 30,000 people. That certainly - tainly was not a just or equitable dis tribution of the wealth of the country. The workingmen of the country were not , he said , communists or socialists or nihilists. All over the country they saw workingmen assemble , as they were assembled here but last night , to secure their rights in a peaceable , or derly manner , He thought they would see good results from the agitation going on among the farmers and work ingmen. A proper adjustment of the questions , the matter of transporta tions and the great overshadowing labor question was not , he thought , fai distant. He believed the day was near at hand when the great railroad sys tems would bo not only controlled , but owned , by the government. It was urged that such a centralization oi power was dangerous , but was it more dangerous to centralize such a power in tHe government than in the hands of two men Jay Gould and Vanderbilt ? By the right of eminent domain the people could take the railroad property just 'as the railroads took the lot of the poor man that lay in its route , paying full value for the road at a just ap praisement of is actual worth and not what its watered stock represented. The government had a right to issue money ; puts its stamp upon it and pay for the railroad. The currency would go out into the country and be used in enterprises that would pay a better than 2 per cent rate and give employ ment to the unemployed. Death to Combines. INDIANAPOLIS , Ind. , Feb. 7. The senate yesterday passed the most sweeping measure that was ever aimed against trusts in this state. The bill provides that all trusts , pools , con tracts , combinations , arrangements or corporations which attempts to de crease outputs , control prices or limit production , shall be considered con spiracies to defraud the people , and any person being a member of such organization shall be subject to a fine of $1,000 to § 15,000 , and imprison ment in the state prison for from two to five years. This provision is made to apply to any stockholder , or agent or person interested in any way in the management or profits of the pool , con tract , combination , agreement or cor poration. In cases where the com pany is organized under the Indiana laws , the charter is to be forfeited , in addition to the punishment prescribed in the penal section of the bill. In another section it is provided that any person who is injured by the operation of the trust or pool , may sue and recover damages double the sum of injury which his business has suf fered. Cost of the Slonx AVar. WASHINGTON , Feb. 6. A communi cation , received by congress from the quartermaster general's department , through the secretary of war , shows that the Sioux Indian outbreak cost at least $2,000,000. Transportation , ra tions , ammunition and other expenses constitute the principal items in the appropriation asked. This is the di rect cost of the outbreak. What there will be in the way of bills for depre dations committed by the Indians can not be estimated. There are those who believe that , directly or indirectly , the expense will not be short of between ? 3 , SOO,000 and $4,000,000. It is now acknowledged by every one that it would be' far more economical and a great deal less troublesome to the gov ernment to sell all the Indian reserva tions and take the money and pur chase farms for the Indians in the sast. Thus the tribal relations could ba broken and the savages placed in 2ivilized communities where they would have no opportunity to make them selves feared. Alliance Leader Deponed. LOUISVILLE , Ky. , Feb. 4. S. B. Erwin , president of the Kentucky 'armers' alliance , has been deposed and r. T. Gardner , vice president , put in lis place.
