THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

We suspect that a too rose-colored in
depreciation Is put upon the recent pu0-
hcatiOn of statistics showing large ex-
CESS of our exports over our imports. 1t
we were not so heavily in debt to foreign
countries the fact that We are selling
them more than we buy from them might
Justify the exultant differences Of some of
our Contemporaries. II We were out of
de bt the balance would be redressed by
large remittances of gold to this country.
But, in point of fact, large part OF the
value of exports is absorbed in the pay
mrnt of interest on American securities
held abroad. 1t is estimated that the
American government bonds, railway
bonds and other bonds in European
hands, amount to not less than Two tnou-
sand millions, on which the interest COM
nnted at six DER cent, is one hundred and
twenty million dollars per annum. 1t lS
necessary te deduct from the excess OF
our exports, which appears 50 favorable,
not only this vast sum, but the freight
charges paid to foreigners and the con-
siderable sums spent by American trav-
elIers in Europe before we can get at the
real balance due to this country. Moth
ing is more deceptive anu mlsieaulhs
than inferences drawn from the balance
of traie if we leave out other debit and
credit accounts. England has had for
the last year a large balance OF trade
against her and yet she has been con
stantly importing gold, instead Of export
ing t to liquldate the balance OF commo-
dities. But the paradox disappears when
we reeollect that her people nave large
Iiuyestments in almost ali foreign coun-
tries and that the returns on those in
vestments overbalance the excess OF her
| imports over her exports. 1he United
States have been exporting more than
they have imported since current bal
ances ceased to be met by sending out
new supplies of bonds. Until both prin,
cipal and interest of our vast indebted
ness are finally discharged there will oe s
trade in our favor. Our people may as
well keep their heads level respecting
this feat ire of our com nercial sltuation II.

Condensed beer, prepare d according to
a new process patented in England, ap-
pears likely to become of commercial i'm
portance. The liquid may be taken at
any stage of fermentation, although pre-
ferable at the time when 1t is fit for drink
ing. 1t is evaporated in vacuum, until
large part of the water and alcohol is
distilled away, and the beer is reduced
to thick, viscid fluid, of about the con-
sistency of molasses. The alcohol and
water pass off in vapor. which is conden-
sed, and the alcohol subsequently, OBJ
tanned by redistillation is mixed with the
condensed beer, either before bottliug or
at any time afterward. In this way beer
may be reduced to one-eighth or ore
twelfth its original bulk, and, it is said,
will keep for any length of time. To re-
stor,- the beer to its first consistency it is
only necessary to add the bulk of water
distilled off, with small quantity of
yeast or other ferment, and in forty
eight hours the beer is ready for bottling

From n, Cincinnati Enquirer I'D. ~.
Thurman-As to the canvass, that is
yet indefinite. It will probably be pretty
warmly contested and, in the multiplicity
of tickets, it is likely there will be- good
deal of speech-inaking. As to the result,
l am very hopeful.
"You think then the outlook for the
Democracy Is cheerful ?"
"Decidedly so. l don't think there is
much doubt as to the result. The only
point causing any special uncertainty is
the workingmen's movement and its re-
suits, and L think, from what L learn, it
will probably work favorably to the Dem
ocrats."
ain what way 2" ..
"By taking larger number OF its fol-
lowing from the Republicans than from
the Democrats. The only danger lies
right here in Hamilton county. II the
Democrats here are anxious for the sue.
they are, they won't be inveigled into
throwing away their votes and leopard.
izing the success of the party after a IL ct
that can't possibly carry a single county
in the State, let alone the State itself. II
the suicidal result OF such action is fully
considered by the Democrats here. /
don't think there is any serious doubt as
to Democratic victory in OHIO, unless
from some other causes yet comparative
ly uudeveloped."
"And do you, then, see any other pos
sible dangers to the Democracy 2"
"None, unless it BIZ from the Greenbach
party. There is posi- bility that it may
draw off small number of votes which
properly belong to US, but L think the
thinking Democrats will not allow them
selves to throw away their influence anC
party strength and prospect for this sor
of chat" ..t .+

Jet except in regard to the 'Communis
