FOREIGN TRADE AND TREASURY RECEIPTS

EUhElUN TRADE AND ThEASUkI hEGElRIc-
We publish in another column from the Journal
Of Commerce statement Of the commerce Of the port
Of New York for the month Just ended together with
tables showing a comparison Of our imports and
ports at New York during the current fiscal year,
with those for preceding years. As the imports at
New York about two thirds Of those Of the whole
Union and the exports thence about one-hird those
Of the country at large, very accurate idea Of the
trade Of the whole Union csn be formed from the
figures thus given for New York.
In every point Of view but the exhibit IS most
encouraging and gratifying. The extravagant in
portaions Of past years, which partly resulted from
and partly caused the troubles in our money markets
and business circles which have STAGE ensued, have
greatly abated; and, notwithstanding the lower
prices which ruling for s our staples of export
their value has, during the first four months Of the
present calendar year, eoualled and that for April
ultimOre exceeded the values for the corresponding
periods Of the two last years. Thus, while our
purchases from abroad have been greatly moderated,
cur sales have held their own; which is con-
dtiOn Of trade the most favorable possible for
peratOn and for the reinstatement prosperity. If
this state Of things continue little longer, We shall
have attained that equilibrium in foreign trade,
which IS the normal and natural state Of all COM
merce which we lost by the overtrading late years.
which ended In the explosion crash, and disaster OF
last summer and fall, and under which alone we can
drive permanently successful and profitable foreign
commerce.
We derive from the figures furnished by the Jour
nal Of Commerce. the following comparative statement
Of impOrtations at New York for the first third Of
the present aud the two preceding years;

WHITE SLAVERY IN New ENGLAND.-We extract
the following from letter published in the Rich
mOnd Enquirer, and dated the 9Th inst, at Lowell
Massachusetts,:
As freeman % Of the North-a laborer-I de-
sire to pen few lines for the perusal of your read
ers You know that we are aufreemen here in name.
| You are also aware that we have great army of
philanthrOpists grsat in number) and anti-slavery
champions. Now to show you how they practice the
theories Of freedom they are SO ready to preach,
allow me to cite few facts We have ia New
England large class Of people who are necesssi-
tated to hire away their lsbOrfor livelihood Many
OF them, especially the operatives in our cotton
mills, are, as Hon. James H. Hammond, of South
Carolina, has said, essentially slaves" And at
no time has this fact been more true than now
Our cotton lords" who own our cotton mills &"
all good black republicans, ~ take advantage of the
times, and actually force their operatives making
necessity their Fugitive slave law to work for star
walton wages. These very people whom they so op-
press are so poor that they cannot get away or do
otherwise than submit. I ask what kind of slavery
can be /" blacker than this, for the time being -
None when We consider the professions Hypocrisy
Of their OppressOrs.
To illustrate, allow me to cite the case of Hon.
Daniel Clark, of Manchester, New HsmJshre A
short time since he made hfalutn' speech in the
Senate in reply to Senator Hammond's so-caed at
tack upon free labor, in Whcieh be endesvored to
make II appear luhL the 4aDOIeTs OF new hampshire
we're very free and ependent-lauding free labor
to the skies. 1 am well acquainted in Mr.. Clark's
place Of residence, and know that the operatives
Of his own city are as free as those of Msssaohu-
sets, free to labor for starvation wages become
beggars. And the more glsring Inconsistency in
Mr.. Clark's case is, that he dare not make such
speech in favor Of free labor in his own city, be-
cause it would kill off his constituents Notes.-The
monied Ones-those who do the wire pulling in po-
itical matters. This 1 know to be true, because
three years ago. this present time, while the oPe-
ratives Of his city were " strike for their
rights, he was invited to address them, but l can
assure you he made no hifalutin" free labor ora
ton. He merely addressed them as l hsve heard
abOliOnist lectures say Southern clergymen preach
ed to slaves.

ABUNDANCE OF GOLD.-The banks are puzzled to
know where to look for the investment of their
capital and many of them obliged to be satisfied
with very long collsterals, other being offered in
sufficient amounts. 1t is very likely that some of
the banks will bid for the treasury notes to be
awarded next week. as they can be turned into gold
or its equalent at any moment Of pressure. Some
Of the bankers have feared that in Of demand
for coin the possession of the government notes
might be felt as an embarrassment, but a moments
reflection must satisfy them Of the utter grOundless
ness of this apprehension. No demand for gold
affect the banks unless it be for export or the
payment of duties, and in the present state of
foreign trade the money must be wanted for duties,
before there can be any considerable inquiry for
European remittance.
Thus the treausry notes can be paid into the gov
eminent treasury before the coin in the banks
be reached for export. large portion of the gold
here, will remain on deposit until the wants of
trade again call it into circulation If the govern
ment expenses, on account Of the difficulties in
Utah, should be large, there may be considerable
shipments Of coin to points at the West but most Of
1t will soon find its way back to the soabOard to
wait for the more regular absorption through the
old channels of circulatiOn.-NelO York journal Of

1929 14O So SIS O46 4O2I2 as


Thus it will be seen that we have imported atNew
York forty six millions less than-or less than half
the amount of merchandise during the first third
of the present year which we imported during the
period of the last and thirty one millions less
than in the first third Of 1856 As our imports at
New York about tWo-thirds those of the whole
Union, these figures would indicate that, whereas
the impOrtations of the whole Union during the first
four months of 1856 we're about Sl07, 100000 and
Of 1857, about Sl30,000 000 those for the present
year up TO this date have been only about $780, 000
coo. Under curtailment in our purchases of sixty
seventy millions in the space of four months we
shall most assuredly very soon find our foreign COM
merce relieved Of the embarrassments under which
it has been laboriEg for six or eight months past.
While our impOrtations have thus fallen off under
the rigid economy we are practising, our exports
have nearly held their own Those that have been
made from New York during the first four months Of
the present year, compared with preceding years,
exclusive of specie, have been as follows:

THE NJ. E. CHURCH SOUTH.

The Fourth General Conference of this body,
which is now holding its sessions in this city, is
composed of one hundred and sixty delegates, rep
resentiDg, we believe, all the States that belong to
the Southern wing of the Church. They are a fine
looking, intelligent body of men, and making
fair progress with their business, which is neces.
sarily SLOW in a deliberative body of that size
The patriarch of the Conference is BISHOP SoULE,
to whom the Nashville Christian Allocate thus re-
fers in q recent paragraph:
BISHOP SOULE-The senior bishop of the MethO-
dist Episcopal Church was present at the opening
Of the cOnference-a fact that gave great pleasure
to the body.
Bishop SOule is a remarkable man. He Is now In
the sKtieth year of his ministry having entered the
travelling connection January, 1893. He was a
member Of the first delegated general conference,
LlSOS,) and drew up the restrictive rules they
now stand in the Discipline. We believe he is the
only surviving member Of that general conference.
He has exercised the Office of bishop longer than
uny other general superintendent of the NJ. E
Church in America. He was ordained in 1924, and
has therefore exercised his functions thirty-fOur
years
Since his ordination the following bishops have
passed away, viz: McKendree, George, Emory, RO-
herts, Hedding, BsscOm, Capers, and Waugh. His
mind is still vigorous, and his attachment for the
church Of his choice unabated. May God yet spare
his venerable man q worthy example TO his
younger brethren
