The New York Tribune returns to its early
love, and for the first time in year or so,
has leader in defence of the tariff Here is
its conclusion: The truth of the matter
seems to be that NJ. Chevalier, Mr.. Wells, and
the less enlightened free traders are disposed
to exaggerate The sufferings OF the United
States under protection. Ifthey complain so
bitterly of that protection, which is really free
trade from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
from the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico,
let them point out an equal area of free trade
anywhere else in the world; an equal po pula-
tion enjoying its blessings. or, failing in that,
let them invent some system OF unrestricted
inter-planetary exchanges to shame us. II
protection is rock, as they say, the tree is
young and will grow around it.
Two or three years ago, the owners OF. the
st. Louis Democrat, the leading Republican
journal in the Mississippi valley, quarreled
and separated; there arose second and rival
journal, the Globe, and the two have been
since doing the work of one; but now, after
spending several hundred thousand dollars in
wasteful opposition, they have united, and
the Globe-Democrat cultivates the field alone.
Mr.. Fishbach, the principal proprietor, and
Mr.. Grosvenor, the principal editor OF the
Democrat, retire altogether.
Here we are needing revival of high poll
tics as badly as revival Of religion. What
our country needs now is the best possible
man for every place. Such policy would
save our city and all the cities and country,
and would quicken every industry and every
heart. And by the best man do not mean
Presbyterian or an orthodox New Eng and
er, but the best German, the best Irishman,
and best Englishman. There are no Ameri-
cans on the continent except the dying rem
nants of the Greeks and Comanches. We are
all from over the sea, and as good men can
cross that sea in our century as crossed it in
the last.-Pr0f. Suing.

THE report of the Bureau of Statistics for
the year ending December 81, 1874, shows
that the imports of the country, gold valua-
tion at the foreign port of shipment, amount
ed to $577,369,711 and that the exports,
reducd to gold valuation, were $500, ,473, ,735.
Add to this last amount $22,125,S93 of i'm
ports re-exported and the total amount of ex-
ports is $642, ,599,62s. These figzres include
the imports and exports OF coin aud bullion.
OF these we imported, in s4S74, S15,253 ,S04,
and exported S72, ,727, ,075. OF this gold ex-
port SO, 1s3, ,6S2 appears as foreign gold and
silver exported, leaving the expectations of
the native product $66,544, 1903. For the year
1878 the corresponding figrres are: Imports,
S624 995, ,497 exports, domestic, 5000, 1851, 1888,
to which should be added, foreign exports,
24,96S, ,204, making, in all, $631 ,330,192 of
exports. Of this export, S56,263, ,496 were
domestic, and s7.3Os,s29 foreign, gold and
silver. Of the imports, 500, ,749, ,439 were in
gold and silver. The imports for 1874, it will
thus be seen, were $47, 7,627,776 less than for
1878, and the exports S11, 1868, ,426 more than
in 1873. What is sometimes called the bal
ance eff trade in 1873 was S6,332, ,705 in our
favor-that is, our exports exceeded our i'm
ports by that sum. Iu 1874 this balance, as
stated above. was S65, ,229, ,917.

No one will defend Senator Spencer of Ala

men marked him but not for canonzation.
But it isn't worth while for the Tribune to
shout so loud about Spencer's corruption in

championed, secured his last election to the
United States senate by system of bribery
and corruption ofwhch the smaller sized and
smaller pursed Spencer has no conception.
Fenton is now reformer out of business.
