A COMPENDIUM OF ADAM SMITH.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
Your money article in the HERALD of Monday
contains so many facts bearing upon the price OF
gold that apply directly to our reasoning on gold
and currency that the cause OF truth demands that
particular attention should be called to the state
ments contained therein. The article states that
The commerce OF the port OF New York for the last
week shows:--
mpOrts.. .Slv ,sl,oso
Exports OF produce. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 3t4l,oUS
Exports or specie. 3,ZoSOso
From January to May Is we imported to New
York alone STA 74s in 1872 against $3.50, 70a15O
in 1871, while we exported only So0900,943 produce
in 1872 against SSD3a2 S73 in 1871. Thus, while our
imports In gold value thus far in 1872 $500 900
In excess OF the amount imported during the same
period last year, our exports oil produce in mixed
values have fallen OH nearly :s,000,o00. Again,
s2s02o,09l In specie and bullion, while for
the same period in 1872 we have shipped
only sls.oo4, ISL. Here 1t win be seen that with
an enormous increase in our imports in 1872 our
exports of both specie and produce show fall
ing OIL, compared with last year, when our I'M
ports wei much smaller This fairly shows that so
lar as New York Is concerned the balance OF trade
against has kept increasing, ana what IL true OF
New York IL true OF the whole country In larger
sense. With this large increase In our imports and
the reduced line OF exports, as Europe has almost
ceased to take our securities, the facts In regard 10
the specie movement have particular significance
st this time. Everything points to continued
large shipments In the future, not only TO bring
the total up TO that OF last year. but also to iqn-
date portion Of our large and increasing foreign
Indebtedness
These facts demonstrate that the price Of gold 10
controlled by tha great Jaw Of supply and demand

TEE PROPORTIONAL VOTE OF CTS
AND TRANS-ALLEGEANY.

As this will be our last issue before the
Congressional election, we desire once more
L. call the attention of those who think that
Cis>Alleghany was badly treated in the Graf
ton Convention, to the fact that, out of the
l39 votes to which the District was entitled
in the Convention, Cis- Allegheny was entitled
TO 66, nearly one half of the whole number
In consequence of five counties three from
this side and two from the other side of the
mountain-having failed to send delegates. all
the counties represented IN the Convention
cast only ZIG votes. IF all the Cis>Ale.
ghany counties had sent delegates. this num-
her would have been sweled to 1873. of which
66 would have been from Cis- Alleghany-
So that if Cis Allegheny had chosen to send
delegates. and to vote solidIy for any one cam
dldat", 1t would have required the assistance
OF only single vote from Trans> A lIeyhany
t" have elected h1m. But about one>third of
the Trans>A l!eghany vote was cast for the
Cts> Allegheny man. 1t was, therefore, the
'an't OF Cis>A le=hany in not sending dele
gates. and in not uniting upon one candidate.
that Trans. Allegheny man was nominated.
II some OF the counties OF Cts Allegheny took
so little interest in the nomination of suit
able candidate for Congress as to fail to send
delegates to n Convention, and if others re.
fused to unite upon any one Cts. Allegheny
man, why should Cis- Allegheny bolt" be-
cause, by her assistance, Trans ALLEGHENY

Convention. one cast its vote soldly for Mr..
Faulkner, another cast its vote solidly for Mr..
Martin. and the rest diyide1 their vote between
the two. Should CHS Allegheny refuse to sup.

aud whom she could have defeated had she
chosen to vote against him? Where's the

$500 REWARDl!!

TO any man who will give us one good
solid. substantial reason why the Democratic.
Conservative party of sthisD District should not
vote with unanimi,y. on mex. Thursday. for
the Hon. B. +. Martin, our regular party
nominee! Come up gentlemen, give us your
reason and claim your reward!
Does any man ask whether he was fairly
nominated by regularly organized party Con-
vention? In reply we say that no one has
ever dared charge either him. or his friends
with unfsir or fraudulent duct inthe Con-
vention. No charge of unfa,rness has ever
been brought against the Grafton Convention.
Let that be remembered by the people on next
Thursday.
Does any man give as reason that the four
delegates from Charlestown township had no
right to cast their votes for the Hon. 3. +.
Martin In reply We say that in the Primary
meeting a resolution was offered to instruct
the delegates to vote for the Hon. G. J. Faux
ner as second choice, should Dan'l B. Lucas.
Esq, fail to receive the nomination; and that
resolution was emphaticallly voted down-
showing that the Hon. c. J. Faulkner was
not even the second choice of that Primary
meeting, and leaving the delegates to act as
they thought proper.
Does any man say that lie was not the
choice of Cis-Alleehauy? In reply we say
that out of Is votes to which Cis-Alleehany
was entitled in the Convent only "a could

METHOD OF BALLOTING FOR CON-
GRESSMEN.

AS it has been suggested by some that, in
accordance with the act Of Congress pissed in
1871, the ballots for Congressman should be
separate and distinct from all others. we COW
from the Baltimore San portion of an edi-
tor'"I upon the subject. The Sun, we think,
t'kes the proper view of the question:
eve fi"d in one of our country exchanges
statement 10 the effect that according to a
law passed Ivy Congress in 1871, the voting
by baIi"t tor Consre>smcp must be separate
aud distinct from all Others" and cores
pendent writes to inquire whether in such
case one or two tickets be necessary. By the
18TH section of the act of Congress commonly
known as the federal election law, approved
February 18th. 1871, it is enacted ssthat all
votes for Representatives in Congress shall
hereafter be by writ n or printed ballot. any
law" any Stare to the contrary uotwiths,and
lug. and all votes received or recorded con.
trary to the provisions OF this section shall be
of non effect" This simply prohibits OF rather
renders nnga,ory all v'cu voce vut,ny, and
makes voting by ballot, written or printed,
obligatory"
