William Cullen Bryant has been
throwing out some hints for the guild
snoe Of youth. He says that the shin
gle worn inside the psntaloons should
be thin enough to accomodate itself,
when the crisis comes, to the usual
genuacctlons Of the body. This il of
much greater practical value than the
glittering generalities Of "Thanato-

AN APPEAL TO REASON.

The Minneapolis Tribune utters these
words which we cannot toe strongly
commend:
Partisan newspapers are hlled with
incendiaay articles, evidently from :, q
common source, all intended to imperll
the peace Of the country In view OF
the mediocres character OF its statesmen,
Che narrowness ofits party leaders, the
MANY unmistakable outcropplngs, OF the
plotting of ambition. as able as it ls un-
scrunuIous, we are forced to the painful
Conclusion that only BY the nohpartisan,
npn-office seeking millions ofthe land
bracing themselves firmly and timely
a gainst the storm ofrockless frenzy thar
is threatened, can the peace and safety OF
the republic be assured. Every true
American, every one worthy OF the eitl-
zenship he enjoys. is actual ed by but one
desire. and that is that law may prevail
that constitutional forms may be OBJ
served, and that the result may be ascer-
tanned by legal, peaceful processes an'
be accepted by the entire nation
II is to the bipartisan, independen
voters the country must look Tor safety
In this crisis. The mere partisans ar
disciplined troops fit only TO fight.

THE EXAMPLE or FRANCE.

The only great nation now greatly
prosperous is Frapce, Why? Let this
extract tell:
"A gentleman who is doing much to
enligh;en the official sentiment of Wash
ington on the currency question is Mon>
sieur Cernuschi, the distinguished
French political economist and proprie~
tor of the influential Paris newspaper,
La Steele. He is here on q mission
very dear to him-the raising OF an in>
ternational commission to consider the
currency question. He is pronounced
advocate Of silver, and hopes the day is
not far distant when this metal will be-
come recognized as proper basis for
money by the civilized world. He de-
clares that the United States cannot re-
sumo specie payments upon monome'
tallic basis. He is also of the opinior
that our people require larger pei
capita of currency than the nations O
Europe. st present we have a smaller
per capita than any ofthe great powers
Mr.. Cernuschi approves Of the wisdom
of the French hanncial system. where a
ono time there was au issue Of paper
money ahoat amounting 70 sixteen mil
lion dollars. This paper is full lega
tender, and the bonded sums are not al
lowed to go out OF the country. He say
France, under this system, has been yer,

Some ofthe gentlemen at Washington
who never car act on the financial ques

Cernuschi. He is man of broad mind

the European eco aomists. In the mai
he indorses the views of Hon. Willlar

4 CURIOUS SUGGESTION.

Mr.. b. l.. D. Gutfy, of Morganstown,
XIV, writes a letter te the indianapolis
Sun. in which he intimates that the pres
eut national troubles were anticipated
and preasranged. for the purpose OF
driving the people through anarchy into
aradical change of our form of govern
ment. We quote:
1.-The following extract from . letter
written by me and publishedin in the Chi
cago Industrial Age Of February 1872,
may be of interest now:
Il assume that there is perfect un.
derstauding among those who favor an
aristocratic or imperial government
Their forces are organized-the means
agreed upon-and the work Is being
rapidly pushed to completion. Contrac'
traction Of the currency and resumption
of specie payment is one, perhaps the
most potent lever to be used, and while
this is being used the public mind is tc
be as much disturbed as possible by the
agitation OF the Southern question and
stirring up the passions engendercd by
the. war.
This programme viii also enable the
contraction Democrats and Republicans
to keep up q fierce discussion OF the
Southern question and equal state
rights, and thus keep the Democrats and
Republicans inside old party lines there
by retarding the formation and growth
of the Independent party"

publicans.

truth of the foregoing to some extent a

4 FALLACY.

Many are congratulating themselves
on the fact that the balance OF trade Is At
present largely in favor OF the United
States; that is to say that we export q
great deal more than we import. Upon
this point the Baltimore Bulletin makes
some very proper suggestions. 1t says:
"The balance of trade is ia our favor
simply because we are debtor nation,
and because our foreign mercantile cred
il and our domestic business have de-
clined 80 that there is no encouragement
to buy abroad except in the way Of bar
ter. That we do not draw against our
ull shipments for purchases for import
ing proves two things. % That we are
SO poor that the home demand for lm-
ported goods has fallen far below our
average importations; and (2) that, be-
ing so poor, we are not able to pay our
foreign debts and interest abroad in any
other way than by shipping the goods
10 be sold for account.
There is fact or two about this bal
ance Of trade business which perpiexes
the ordinary observer, especially ii he
be inclined to associate the idea of such
state OF things with national prosper
| ity. One of these frcts is, that the bal
ance OF trade against the wealthy nation
and always in favor Of the pauper ma
ton. Great Britain always import.
more than she exports; China, on tht
contrary, Spain, Cuba, ETC., always ex
port more than they import.
Another Of these facts is,that there arr
only seven or eight years in the who'll
fiscal history of ths United States II
which we have exported more than W
have imported; and these happen TO b'
the years of exceptional business de
preston and commercial ssagnancy
One OF these years was 1919, the othe
| 1927, a third 1888, fourth lS4l-43,
fifth 1888. sixth period in 1862,
seventh in the present one. Surely thcs
facts should make the ardent believer
the balance of trade as an element c
: national prosperity pause before h
fights for his doctrine.
