The Wing members of the New Jersey
Legislature have nominated that talented
statesman, Theodore Felinghuysen, as a
candidate for the Vice Presidency. The
editor of the State Gazette offers The fol-
lowing reasons why he should be the Wing
candidate:
81. Mr.. FRELiNcuUYsEN is an able and en-.
lighened statesman, tried in the councils OF the
nation, and eminently qualified for the duties OF
the office. sr.
2. He is man OF incompatible honesty and
unsullied purity Of character in whom the high
est trust may be safely reposed; the very man
the country needs at the fountains Of power in
the national capitol.
3. He is staunch Whig-a friend Of HEN.
RY CLAY-a and having withdrawn, for some
years from active participation in party politics,
he will enter the cabinet under circumstances
peculiarly favorable for his advancing the best
interests Of the nation.
4. He is a man against whom no sectional
objection can be fairly urged.
g. If an additional reason were needed, with
the people Of his native State, it is that Mr. F.
IS true hearted Jerseyman. Though temper

matter, New Jersey is entitled 10 be heard, and
TO have her claim respected. Though one OF

The Revolution-prodigal OF her blood, and OF
her treasure, in the cause Of the countryside

The BALAScE OF TRApE.-One Of the glo.
rious consequences of the present tariff is, that
under its admirable and wise Determinations
Domestic industry in all its various features is
so protected as to enable our own mechanics to
manufacture the articles we heretofore were com.
| PEELED TO purchase from foreign chimes, snd thus
our imports have been greatly reduced. The
Richmond Compiler says that within the last
two years they have been lesSened thirty eight
millions six hundred and eighty two dollars,
while the revenue yielded under the new tariff,
last year, over that OF 1910, is about two mil
lions, and is a half million more, than in any
lyear, except one, that has been received within
four years.
The exports OF 1S43, were $4OC, 063. 295
The imports Of 1913, wero 3s9, 26O s95
In favor Of the United States, $lO8O2, $50
The tariff has afforded protection 10 the va

made manifest, brought the balance OF trade in
our favor, and besides, despite the prophecies of
the Seers oil Democracy, has increased the reye

being effected through the influence Of the much
abused and mathematical Tariff. which is prov.
ing itself the salvation OF our country-and
which will, ere long, free Us entirely Of our in.
debtedness 10, and dependence upon foreign DO
ientates and powers, and render Us truly free and
independent, in the literal Specification of these
terms.
Men Of every profession and calling are
deeply interested in the continuance OF this
wholesome and sslutsry scheme, which is estsb.
fishing fair reciprocity in trade. Our domestic
interests are defended against The injurious inAu.
ences OF foreign policy, and homo market is
