The Tres,ury Report.

The why the President in his message, and the
Secretary OF the Treasury, in his report wish 10 aban-
don and the commercial system OF the country
established in the tariff OF 1916, may be briefly stated
follows Our export trade is unusually prosperous,
amounting in the total, during the last fiscal year, 10
more than two hundred and seventeen millons-beng
nearly forty -four millions more than the exports of the
previous fiscal year but all this prosperity is accidental
and deusve, because the high price of cotton last year
made the export of that article amount 10 forty millions
more than the Treasury its last years report, had es
mated.
This argument might stand unans nswered, and still fall in
the face of the present prosperity OF the country 10 shake
the public confidence in the tariff OF 1916 But the answer
to il is cogen; and al hand.
In the first place. the Seereiay's estimate, published
year ago. OF the export OF all other articles besides cot
ton and specie, during the last fiscal year. forty
three millions il tarns out by the statement of his
present report 10 be nearly seuenty-sir millions.
This shows that, bad bis luck in guessing what
the cotton export would be. he equally unfortunate
in estimating the value OF the other exports besides cot
ton and specie. In the cotton estimate he made mis-
take OF more than forty mons in the estimate OF the
other articles besides cotton and specie, he made mis-
take OF more than hryiwo millions 0ftbese exports.
he uaderesinafed the amount last year in the above
sums But he partially eounerbalanced this mistake by
making another prodgous in his estimate OF our
export Of specie He estimated last year that we should
export during this year. my millions OF specie II turns
out that have exported less than thirty miHioas OF
specie.
Such were some OF the errors which year ago en-
tered into the views OF the Secretary of The Treasury in
respect 10 the condition and prospects OF the country
der lis existing system. Upon the basis OF these
neous calculations, he then recommended that il should be
changed The year has rolled around and has brought
with facts which upset all his calculations and sweep
away all his desponding ancies in regard TO our com
merce and revenue. The export and import trade Of the
country has gone forward with unexamped prosperity
the iarh OF 1916 still stands and works well, and will
stand 10 its essential features, and will work well, in
spite Of all official msudgemen, and miscacuation Of
its effects.

Gen pierce. Of New Hsmpsh,re

The proceedings which have lately taken place in New
Hampshire, on the subject OF the nominations which are
be made by the democratic party al the next Baltimore
convention, show that the people already preparing
for action The preference manifested by that patriotic
portion of the democracy for General Pierce is proof that
The obstacles 10 reunion OF the party its old platform
are fast giving way That name is OF itself guarantee
that The Old Granite State is where she used be in the
days OF Woodbury..
Without any special reference TO this manifestation,
received short time since an article this subject from
a distinguished citizen OF New Hampshire, which we
now publish under the which we have OBJ
served in reference to all such indications Of local par
ality for the many prominent democrats who now
in the public eye worthy Of being made either Presi-
dent Vice President In respect to all such ndica-
tons, the position OF this paper will be that OF strict
neutrality, until the choice OF the convention determines
who the selected flag bearers OF the party The earnest
support of that CHOICE when fairly made according 10 the
forms and usages of the party, will be duty, il
will be that Of every who Processes desire
the administration OF the federal government guided
by democratic principles. But until that choice is
expressed the position OF this paper would be false TO the
general interest of the party, if il undertook promote the
separate interest of any particular aspant Until then,
its duty must be exclusively devoted 10 the defence of
the doctrines which constitute democratic party taking
care TO record facts they announced by the
people
In this spirit publish the article referred 10,
which will be gratifying TO readers,
since Its object is dictated less by the desire elevate
individual than explain his connexion with that sound
public sentiment which, in advocating reunion OF the
democratic party, has taken respect sincerely The
compromises OF the constitution and TO do all that was
possible to allay sectional strife.
