Imports and Exports.

One Of most gratifying evidences of the incrca-
sing prosperity of our country, is the favorable con
Iiion which the last Hessurers report exhibits of
the imports and exports.
The exports for the year enling 'piember 1910,
computed at Sl3l ,57i $50, about 81 ,O0O, 900
more than in 1885,
The imports du ing the same time amount to
siOi s05,s9l, which is less than the imports If
1889, by about s5 7,000,00O This will account in
part for the diminution of the revenue of the Gus.
toms.
The Imports have usually been greater than the
exports. In 1886 the imports greater by about
SO ,OO0,0 900, and in 1889 by about 81 900 900.
The balance NJ trade in our lavor i, will be seen
amounts to nearly s27 900 900 for 1910. This re-
suit, it is laid, mas taken place six times since
1898, and then eded in amount Ss,OOO,-
900. This is u most CRAFTY ing evidence OF the in
eIhausiibie resources of our country.

The mor'gaged Land was sold in October, 1884,
for $4,000, which paid that deb. The actual
:, ceirts, therefore, have been over Si66,O0o,
which is much moie than double the original esti-
mates # the cost.
These facs are not stated to censurc any one,

who have been most unjus,ly charged with want OF
generosity and patriotism, in not completing the
Monument 1t will he seen that at the first, sum
was promptly raised within three thousand dollars
Of the whole estimated cost. Having done that il

Tide Water Canal.

A meeting, Il will be seen in another column, has |
been held in Philadelphia, f'r the purpose Of adopt
ing measures 10 secure the trade that desccnds the
Tide Water Canal. Steam Tow Boats are to be
procured to tow boats 10 and from Philadelphia and
Havre de Grace.
The trade of the Tide Water Canal will he i'm.
mense in the course Of few years. 1t will be
prz well worth contend ng for, by the rival citizens
Of Baltimore and Philadellhia.
The coal trade Of the Susquehanna, however,
which in a few years will reach se,eal hundr
thousand tons, will naturally seek the Baltimore
market.
The Baltimore American in commenting on the
above meeting says:
The experience of the past season,-notwith-
standing that the trade Of the Canal has scarcely
begun to move, comparatively speaking,- has been
sufficient to prove how very closely and intimately
the business relations of Baltimore and the great
Susquehanna Valley destined to be united; and
while our city will never oljec, to fair competi-
ton for the trade of ,ha, immense region, she will
not lie backward in putting forth all proper eff rts
to obtain and secure its possession. A generou.
rivalry on the part Of the two cities canno, bu
g ca,y facilitate the development, of tie resources
of one OF the richest mineral and agricultural re
gions in the world, and thus, whilst the interior i
greatly tenciited the cities themselves will be en-
rched by new sources Of prosperity.

PREFACE.


No apology would seem To be necessary for pub
fishing an essay on Currency and Banking. The
derans ement OF our currency has brought the sub
iect home To every mans business and bosom with
an intensity which has made IT the engrosSing topic
OF the country. IL is, however, subject OF great
difficulty. As science, II is asstruse and reconditc
In practical application, we find every possible va
riety Of opinion. The great obstacle to the resiora
ton Of sound currency is believed To be an erro-
neods public opinion. In the hope OF dong some
thing IN reforming erroneous views, the present
slight and hasty sketch is offered. The object is 10
present those principles which have the sanction Of
the best writers the subject, and which all expe
rienoe is believed to couhrin, form be applied
to the present condition Of the country.
Unfortunately, the subject has been connected
with the party politics of the day. Nothing can be
more uniavora6le to the Development OF truth on
que,tions in political economy than such connec-
ton. good deal which is false, with some admix-
ture OF TRUTH has been put forward by political par
tisans either side. Asi Is the wish Of the writer
that the subject should lie discussed its merits
and free from such communicating connection, he
has avoided much possible all reference 10 the
political parties of the day.
