"admirable and irreproachable Governors the

".iscredit the above Endorsement" IL Ger
tairly would. We are glad to agree with The
World, and 20 say in addition that Gov. I'll
den has proved to be just what TIE TRIBUNE
auticipated, "Onc of the most admirable anu
L" irreproachabe Governors the State has ever
"hadn TIE TRIBUNE congratulatcS Itself
that il does not find il necessary to withdraw
or qualify a single word of the praise 1t be-
slowed on Gov. Tidrn two years ago, or oi
Tia commentators Of Gov. Hayes when hc
was candidate for Governor OF OHIO last
wear. Both are able and honest men, and
both have fulfilled the expectations OF their
friends. Ii Is the most cheering sign IN the
present political situation. that the two par
ties have been driven by public opinion
70 the selection of such candidates. The
World is quite right. Nfthcr Gov. TIden nor
Gov. Hayes has done anything to diScredIt
TIE TRIBUNE's Endorsement ana the two great
parties have accordingly shown their own good
Judgment and discretion, while complimentIng
at the same time TIE TRIEUSEs sagacity, by
choosing rs their leaders the men it has al
ready approved.
If, however, the question should be asked
what the Democratic party-which puts
Mr.. Tilden forward in the hope of COM
ing into power upon the strength OF his popu-
larity-has done to forfeit public confidence,
we might point to the strange conjunction OF
candidates on the ticket, the ambiguous ut
tcrances Of the platform, and over all and
above all, the record of the present Demo-
cratic Congress. To this we might add the
history of Democratic successes in Missouri.
Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, and point to
the seats in the Senate which have been filled
by Democratic Legislatures. THIS Is ques-
ton of parties not persons; OF principles ana
policies, and not individual peculiaritics.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast,
and she is particularly spry in the bosOms of
those who buy lottery tickets. Once more an
effort is to be made to save obstinate specu-
lators from the consequences of their own
folly. The Postmaster General, sustained by
act of Congress, has declared unavailable let
tiers and circulars relating to lotteries, and
managers are given to understand that the
depostiDg of such letters and circulars to be
sent by mail is an Oilcnse punishable by fine
of not less than 500, nor more than $500.
This applies to all lotteries, whether authorized
by law or not But it is proposed to contest
this decision of the Post-Oflice Department.
certain lottery men claiming that the statute
MS it now stands refers only to unauthorized
lotteries.
That the agents Of this most lucrative
business will abandon it is hardly to
be expected, for there arc many lodges
and devices with which experience has
made them familiar, and they are sure to have

ment in any way. The whole theory that we
can reach specie resumption without effort OF
sacrifce-that we can somehow get honorably
dischargoa from debts without paying them
is nnspeakably absurd. Foreign debts do not
form the chief obstacle TO resumption. whether
the balance of trade be on one side or the
other, it is generally insignificant III compan-
son with an item which is often wholly over
lookcd--nanely, the investment OF foreign
capital here. When foreign capitalists nave
strong confidence in the future OF enterprises
in this country the influx of capital Tor invest
ment far exceeds the amount OF interest 10 DE
paid to foreign lenders. When that confluence
is shaken, or disappears little new capitai comes
here for investment, Il small share OF interest
due is reinvcsted here and the drain upon orr
capital is very heavy. :,
Possibly due consideration Of thus fact, which
deserves more attention than 1t mas ever IT,
ceived, may hclp.to explain why 1t Is that eX-
ports rarely exceed imports except IN times Oh
great industrial and commercial disaster. we
purchase less at such times, because our people
consume less; we export more because hecca-
sitv compcls us TO sell ut lower rates. In
ordinary times, If trade Is profitable TO DOM
parties, the value of goods at the port OF
embarkation here should be less than the
value Of return cargoes at the point OF ship
ment abroad. Imports ought to exceed eX-
ports 10y the cost of freight and the profits on
the transaction. But III times OF great stlln-
gcncv. when confidence in American enter
prises is impaired, and foreign lenders refuse
to renvest their Interest, the decline OF M
ports and the large increase of exports, which
low prices here produce, only serve to bal
ance wholly or in part the heavy payments OF
interest abroad. An excess OF exports Is not
an evidence of health; it is not even an indi-
cation that we are moving toward resumption.
1t does not necessarily prove anything except
this, that foreign confidence in American IN
vcstmcnts is unusually low, and that our
products are being sold at very low rates.

PEACE THE POLICY or THE SOUTH.
Mr.. Lincoln used to say that you couldn't
"burn the same powder twice. If a few
newspapers and Congressional demagogues are
trying to improve upon Mr.. Lincon's wisdom
and revive the wel-worn cry of the bloody

erners who furnished them the pretext are to
blame This campaign powder has been burnt
before. Four years ago President Grants
partsans used every known political device to
convince the people of the North that the
lives of negroes and Union men were not safe
in the South. President Grant was reelected, but
no general massacre of the negroes resulted
because the will of the Southern whites was
thus defeated, and it is safe to say that negro
life has been as safe in the South, even dur
ing the worst periods of President Grants
expressions, as human life usually is in COM

COVUFPCE And RESTUPTION.


Exports exceed imports. For the last fiscal
year. according to estimates by the Bureau of
Statistics the gold value of exports of domes-
tic production was $3.50, 000, 900. and the gold
value of imports only S4G0,OOO,0O0. In view
of this fact, some persons imagine that the
Boutwell, theory of finance, which the Demo-
cratic party persstcntly and justly rdiculed for
some years, and has now adopted in its national
platform, is about to be "vindcatcd by "a
balance of trade ain our favor" Because i'm
ports have declined nearly 40 per cent since
1873, so that exports valued at the point of
departure now exceed imports valued in foreign
ports, we are told that we are growing up to
"specic payments" and have only to repeal
the Resumption act. and to continue in the
good work of paying of our foreign indebted
ness by excess of exports. In due time. these
theorists reason, we shall reach specie pay
ments by this process without Inconvenience
to anybody.
Neither an excess Of exports nor real bal
ance of trade in our favor tends in any degree
to bring about resumption OF specie payments.
Either the Government has the means to re-
deem its dishonOred notes or it has not. A
decline of imports does not put more gold into
the Treasury; on the contrary, it diminishes
the public revsAne. An increase of exports
does not improve the position Of the Govern

customers so long as they continue to promise
100000 for So. The Wyoming Lottery Is
notorious for sharp management; but all letters
addressed to it are now stopped in the New
York Post-Ofiicc. Still, until IA general massa-
ere of fools can be ordered, this and all other
lotteries will continue to do a business more
or less profitable. The fallaciOus character OF
"scbemes,y the devices to prevent anybody
from drawing anything, the continuous III
luck Gas it is called of the devotees OF this
kind of gambling-all these have again and
again been set forth, and still the rocks pros
per and the pigeons 'are plucked. And so we
suppose it will continue to be while some men
are poor and greedy and lazy. and others are
sharp. unscrupulous, and knayish.

The readers of TIE TRIBUNE may ENJOY IN
the graphic and picturesque account OF t1ie
intercollegiate regatta at Saratoga yesterday
all the pleasure and excitement of spectators
of the race, without having had to undergo the
fatigue and disc0mforts of journey To the
lake and the misery of waiting under a broii-
ing sun for the performance to come OIL. lhe
old story is always new, and freshly told as 1t
is in our columns this morning, alwayS weakens
enthusiasm and stirs the blood. The tea-
ture of this years series of races is the triumph
of the Cornell crews in each, the Cornell boys
winning every race and carrying of all the
prizes. The time, however, is not so good as
that made last year and the year before. The
crowd in attendance was not so lHSe a. III
previous years. and public interest in the event
seems to have somewhat subsidized. The with
drawal of Yale and Harvard from the asSocia-
ton makes it doubtful if another college re-
gatta will be Iowed at Saratoga. The Cornell
bows were of course jubllant over their sweep
ING victory, but their last years success had
accustomed them a little to the elation of TIL
umph, so that they were, upon the whole,
quite reasonable in their demonstrations.
