Is IL wise under such conditions to still

The Democrats are not bad scholars; and
their practices under the Lecoupton Con-

AIRY or diminished imports, We may safely
look for n constantly increasing flow Of
gold toward these shores.
In 1s1l-72 the imports of the port of
New York exceeded the exports of do
mestic merchandise by eel ,sbl SIS. In
part payment for this enormous balance
of trade against us we exported specie and
bullion to the amount of $12,19S 24O, leav-
ing by far the greater portion OF the de-
ficicncy to be lqudated in American in
tercst-bcaring securities, national state
municipal, and corporate. The following,
year, 1879, the imports of merchandise
ut this port exceeded the exports by $685.
tS3,IOO. To make good a portion of this de-
fciency we sent abroad 1885,, 5l8 in specie
and bullion, paying the balance in stocks
and bonds. A system Of national extrav-
agance conducted on SO gigantic Il scale
must ultimately bankrupt any nation.
The financial crash which broke over
the country in the fall OF 1879 came none
too soon. Ii has taken us three years
to recover from the shock. liquidate, and
place our affairs once more ON n solid
basis.
The financial redemption of the coun-
try is owing mainly to the healthy condi-
ton of our agricultural interests While
every other industry was languishing, agri-
culture hourshed. Just now there are
heavy exports of American produce The
rates of freight have advanced consider
ably-so much so us to initiate in a certain
degree against grain shipments. and in
favor of other produce which pays better.
For the moment grain does not form the

the brendsturs liue promises 10 assume
vast proportions during the next few
months. Should actual hostilities break
ont between Russia and Turkey, there
would be an immediate cessation of
grain exports from the ports of the
Black sea and the Azof seaports. In
this event the foreign demand for
American breadstuffs would rapidly alb
sorb our surplus ut higher prices than we
have for u long time seen. The United
Kingdom would be cut of from an annual
