A SPECULATION.


We have been favored with letter asking us
to aid the Columbus Group Association" to
raise one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
purchase group in marble representing Co.
lumbus dwelling the New to the Old World,
rhich "Prof Costoli, the distinguished Italian
sculptor" proposes to execute in marble and
set up in the City of Washington. We are given
90 understand that this sum is but about two
thirds of the price, the remainder being con-
tributed by sundry persons in Tuscany, who
desire to extend the scalptor's reputation and
to have at Washington monument to Colum-
bus.
We have seen no model of the proposed
group, but as the Association, or somebody
else, has issued Autograph of the design, we
are able to say that we hold it to be very
poor and commonplace affair, which would be
bought too dear at fifty thousand dollars, let
alone hundred and fifty. Prof Costoli may
be very distinguished sculptor, although his
fame has not hitherto penetrated the universal
obscurity, but his distinction must have been
SchicNeu VIII DctteT NOTkS tndn lll5, OF III Is
not destined to be immortal
Besides, there is no want at Washington of
such monument to Columbus. Does not the
group of PersicO-also q distinguished italian
sculptOr-stand there, & deformity to the Cap
stoli What need then of another Of the same
sort
The affair looks exceedingly like an impu-
dent speculation, to get big price for poor
thing from the rich and ignorant Americans
IT may not be SO; we hope it is not but hon.
esty and disinterestedness alone cannot render
worthy of consideration and patronage.
If any group in honor of Columbus is to
be erected, and We should be glad to have one,
1t ought to be given to Hiram Powers. Craw.
ford is making monument to Washington for
Richmond; Greenough has had a contract to
execute an equestrian statue of Washington in
this City, though We understand he has thrown
it up from motives most honorable to himself;
and it would be very proper for the people to
give hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
Powers for a group commemOrating Columbus.
But don't let us be humbugged by this Profcs-
sor CostOli or his agents

BALANCE OF TRADE.

The President, in the following paragraph Of
his Message, has certainly stated the matter Of
imports and exports in way which does not
clearly show the true state of our foreign
trade: -
"The value of foreign merchandise imported during
The last fiscal year two hundred and millions
two hundred and forty thousand one hundred and one
dollars 1901 240l0l y and the value of domestic pro-
auctions exported was one hundred and forty.nne mil
and eleven dollars 9llD besides seventeen mil
lions two hundred and four thousand andtwentysx dol
lars (Si7 204,026) Of foreign merchandise exported
making the aggregate of the entire exports hun 1red
and sixty millions sixty five thousand nine hundred
and thirty dollars Sl67 065937D exclusive of the
above there exported forty two millions five hundred
and seven thousand hundred and eghtyfve dollars
(S42 507 $3.50 in specie and imported from foreign ports
five millions two hundred and eiXty-two thousand six
hundred and forty three dollars (S5 262,643)
by employing the very data he has furnished,
the balance of trade against the United States
is 800, IVA, 164, of which $37 ,247 $40 has been
paid in specie, leaving us yet in debt on the last
years operations, 500, 92652l, most of which
we may suppose has beeen satisfied by the sale
ofpublic stocks.
What humiliating spectacle is here pre-
scented This great Dragging nation, capable
Of cheating all creation" in so many respects,
can't supply its own wants, but must run in
debt about sixty-three millions of dollars per
annum Where will this policy end ?
