A Pleasing Outlook.
New York Herald

NCN IOlh lICldIt'l
One of the best evidences of return
inc prosperity that a country long
weighted by debt and discouraged by
business depression can exhibit is in the
decrease of her imports and the in
crease of her exports. The first indi-
Gates q capacity for home production
that will satisfy wants that should 9TH
erwise be supplied from foreign mar
kets and at loss to the consumer.
The second proves that for the abund-
ant productions of the country there
are markets in foreign countries which
always insure ready and profitable
sale. Hence when what is termed the
balance of trade is in favor Of coun-
try the gold flow tends toward her and
renders her people rich and prosperous.
Such is the pleasing outlook for the
United States to-day, as we find by
glancing over the trade statistics for
the past three years. In 1875, end
ing June 80, we find that the total
specie value of the imports of the
United States amounted to S553, 906,-
153. In 1876 the figures were S476,-
677,S71, and in 1877 1892, 0SI,963.
There is therefore a clear reduction be-
tween 1875 ana 1877 of over SOL
900, 900 payable to foreign producers.
The increase during 1877 over 1876 of
SIS, 600, 600 is probably due to the Y
tensive Introduction Of foreign goods
during the Centennial encouraged by
the impression produced on visitors to
the great worlds fair by the elegant
displays of other countries. But the
falling off of importations is so decid-
ed that even the exceptional transac-
tions Of 1867 can be overlooked.
Now, with regard to our exports We
find that the increase in value is al
most exactly equal to the decrease Of
import values. The aggregate fol
1875, 1876 and 1877, to June 80 In
each year, are S6O5, 574, S53, 1896.
S90,973 and S65S, 637,7-3, respect
lively, These aggregates inclnde what
are termed foreign exports, but these
rarely exceed $50, 100000 in value,
and have varied oaly slightly during
the three rears. The increase has ia,
ken place in domestic exports, mer,
chandise, &C., not including gold A
reduction of nearly fifty per cent Ia:
occurred since 1915 in our specie ex-
ports, so that we pay less money
for foreign goods, we sell more of oul
own, and the flow of gold. which SC
long set against us, has now turned in
our favor. In few years, with oul
present prospects, there ought to be &
glut of gold in this country, for by nc
trade process can we get rid of it. Ev
en- to-day our specie imports equal oul
specie exports.

THE CORRESPONDENT of the Nil
waukee Sentinel who very frequently
dishes Up items of interest in this sec
ton Of the state for that journal, saw
ft in his two last communications to say
an encouraging word for Hon. I. B.
Scott as the Reporters candidate for
Governor. Mr.. SCOTS standing at
home; his many qualifications for the
position, and the fact that he would if
nominated, carry the almost unanim-
Gus vote of this section Of the state were
briefly mentioned in correspondents
communications but the Sentinel has
completely ignored this portion Of his
letters. having neither the courage nor
manliness TO give the views Of its cor
respondent in relation to a subject
which is Of state interest. and Of a
man whose position IN the state is one
that commands the respect of men of
all parties.
The Sentinel has relieved itself of
deal of bile by system of purging
through the medium of anti machine
pills taken III copious quantities, but it
needs most thorough clyster in order
to thoroughly cleanse itself Of the "ma-
chine" fever which is burning out its
e.inards.
1t has probably received its little
consideration which anchors it to
its moorings as qaantune su6jcit Of
''rot gut anchors sot to a gutter
or maybe those "spring lice have got
off the 'scattle" and are tickling its
cuticle to an extent that precludes &ll
possibility of giving attention to any
thing other than its itching hide.
One thing is sure; something ails the
Sentinel. Maybe it is waiting for
Tom" to ''come down" IF SO, we
will simply say that we have raised
Mr.. Scott's name as our candidate for
Governor without counseling Mr. S.
We did so because we like the man,
and believe he would make a most ex-
cellent Executive, and if nominated
will carry the state, which cannot be
said of any other candidate mentioned.
No, Mr.. Sentinel, don't wait for
''Tom." to "come down" NeYerthe-
less it would be only courtesy shown
alike to Mr.. Scott and your correspon-
dent to publish few brief words COM
mandatory Of one so favorabIy and
widely known throughout the length
and breadth Of the state, as Mr.. Scott.

Senator Howe and the Chief Jus
ticeShip.
Madison State Journal

Tn his letter to the editor Of the
Wisconsin published some weeks ago,
Senator Howe, in showing that his
course in public has been governed,
not by the promptings of mere person
al interest, bat by regard for the
general interests Of the country and
party which he represents, wrote
''Rather than surrender the seat I hold
in the Senate to a democrat, I have
already tram pied on the only ambition
[ ever had" This language was I'M
derstood to refer to the offer made him
BY President Grant. of the position
of CHIEF Justice Of the Supreme Court
or the United States, after the death
of Chief Justice Chase. That the APP
pointment to that great office was ten
dered to Senator Howe, and declined
by him through regard for the con-
stitueney which had three times hon
ored him with their confidence by ell
Getting him 10 the senate with unan-
unity that has hardly, if any parallel
IN the history Of American politics,
has been known to some of the Sena-
tors more intimate personal friends,
but was never alluded to by him, in
any public manner, until the publica-
ton OF the letter from which the above
quotation is taken. Since then, some
ofthe more malignant of the newspapers
that have undertaken the task Of per
suading the people of this state that
the Senator is an unprincipled, cor
rupt ana selfish politician, have seen
fit to express doubts whether such an
offer was ever made. Those who
know Senator Howe well are not like

ELsEwHERR WE publish an article
taken from the Madison Journal which
portrays the character of Senator
Howe as one of the most unselfsh and
patriotic of men. President Grant Of
fered Senator Howe the position Of
chief justice of the United States a
few years since, at time when to
have accepted the position would have
jeoparded the best interests of the Re
publican party of the nation, in as
much as the vacancy in the senate
would undoubtedly have been
filled by democrat with all the name
implied then, or implies now. The
position of Chief Justice Is second only
to that of President of the United
States. lie was terrible temptation,
and only a brave heroic man would
have subordinated self to the urgent
demands of duty. There is rot an
other man in the state who has been
the target of so many of the poisoned
arrows of the opposition to say moth
ting of those hurled from the battle
ments Of the s'house of his friends, .
still he is the same undaunted hero
whose wounds only attest his service,
and his strength. Ifthere is any good
thing the President can give our
gallant Senator, he will find in him a
most worthy recipient,
