Nothing connected with the imam

state of trade with foreign countries.
The exports
FROM THE UNITED STATES
during the year ending June 80,
lsTs, were larger than during any
previous year in the history Of the
country. From the year 1868 to the
year 1878. the net imports into the
United States largely exceeded the
exports from the United S,ates--the
excess of imports ranging from
$50, ,000, 600 to Sls2. 100000.
During the years 1874 and 1875,
the exports and imports were about
equal. During the years ending
June 80, 1876, III, rs, however. the
domestic exports from the United
States greatly exceeded the net
imports. the excess of exports increas-
ing rapidly from year to year.

earnestly desire to say something
touching the material interests Of the
country which will tend at least to
encourage those who need encour-
agement, and to give increased hope
TO those who are already hopeful.
Tho most interesting questions in
public affairs, which now engage the
attention Of the people Of the United
States, are those which relate to the
financial condition Of the country.
Since the financial panic and collapse
FIVE years ago, capital and labor and
business capacity have found it hard
to get profitable employment. We
have bad what is commonly and
properly known as hard times. In
such times men naturally ask, What
can be done! How long is this stag
nation of business to last? Are there
any facts which indicate an early re-
turn TO better times | wish to esk

Of business prosperity throughout the

BETTER LATE THAN NEWER

Life is a race where some succeed,
While others are beginning;
'Tis luck at times, at others spesi,
That glyesan early winning;
But IL you chance TO fall behind,
Ne'er slacken your endeavor,
But keep this wholesome truth In mind
'Tis better late than never,
Il you keep ahead, It's we'll
But never trip your neighbor;
'Tis noble when you can excel,
by honest, patient labor;
But If you are outstrlpped at last,
Press on rs bold as ever;
Remember If you are surpassed,
Tis better late than never.
Ne'er labor for an idle boast
Ofvictory o'er another,
But while you strive your utiorn1st,
Deal fairly with brother.
wbateer your station, do your best,
and hold your purpose everi
And if you fail to beat the rest,
IT'S bett er late than never
Choose well the path in which you run
Succeed by noble daring;
Then, though the last, when once It's won,
Yonr crown is worth the wearing.
Then never fret if lett behind,
Nor slacken your ondeavOr;
But ever ke ep this truth in mind,
IT'S better late than never.

Union With such burden for in.

believed that the debteould not be

believed by strengthening the nation

public judgment
The ability and theipurpose to pay
! The debt according to its letter and
spirit were demonstrated. 1t was
seen that the successful management
of the debt depended on the rates oi

which is the interest at four per

The policy of reducing the debt
and thereby strengthening the pub
lie credit having been adopted, let us
observe the result in the present cen

In addition to this, it was estimated
that there were enough unadjusteG
claims against the Government Of un-
questioned validity to swell the total
debt to $3,0O0,000, ,00O. How to deal
with this burden was one Of the gra-
vest questions which pressed for de-
cision as a result Of the war Ii will
be remembered that in important

The debt has been reduced until

This is reduction, as compared with

There has been another gratifying
and important improvement in the

in foreign countries. Il is estimated
that ia 1871 from 100000, 1900 to

We then paid from $50, 900, 900 TO
$50, 000.00 annually to Europe for
interest alone. Now the bonds are
mainly held in our own country. 1t
is estimated that fve-sixths of them
are held in the United States, and
only one-sixth abroad Instead OF

now pay them only shout SI2,O00,-

change in the condition of the debt.
The change has been one of improve
ment.

The management of the Plttsburg
Division of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad is said to have reached high
degree of efficiency. Every depart
ment is model of systematic work
ing; every place has the man to fill it,
and every one Of the multitudinous de-
tails is promptly and effectively at
tended to. This comfortable state of
affairs has been brought about by the
indefatigable labors of the Superin-
tendent, Mr.. E. X. Hyndman, whose
watchfulness and care in perfecting
the road and drilling his subordinates,
has made his route one of the safest
in the country. All this is pleasant
to affirm, not as merely puff but as
commendatory of whatever contributes

CITY AID" The ANeganian goes
SO far as to impeach our motives for
desiring the commissioners to do away
with special appropriations in the in
terest of law and low taxes. It's tone
implies there is something mean
about us, and warns the commission
ers not to imbibe our notions. We
charitably believe our neighbor
said more than it meant it is impos-
sible we could urge plain, simple ad-
herence law from bad impulses:
We can understand the petty feeling
which actuates the JOURNAL against Cum
berland.
On the contrary, we are very friend
ly to Cumberland including the Alle-
gamian, for most excellent reasons.
We have never antagonized the city
except when she was holding on to or
grasping for something she ought not
to have. In the present case we OPP
posed our own town as well for Che
| same invulnerable reason. The Alle-
qdnian continues:
Its little scheme of dividing the county
was foiled, and it blames Cumberland for
it, when really there were but two persons
IN the county in favor of it.
We never blamed Cumberland for
it," Cumberland "did not foil oul
little scheme; she couldn't; the con-
stitution relieves her of any say in
the matter. AS to the number OF
persons in favor of the "little scheme
let us see: If the Alleganian will re-
fer to the Senate journal of proceed
ings Of 1876, page 1919, it will find
that on the 4th of February, Senator
McCulloh "presented the memorial o.
a special committee appointed by the
people of the coal region" reciting the
reasons why new county should be
formed. That memorial was signed
by twenty one gentlemen who do not
give their names to everything that
comes along, viz:
Albert HOLE, H. B. Shaffer, J. G. Weis
James Kane, Owen Evans, Charles Micha
ell, ]. D. Armstrong, William McLuckie
Frederick Gross, w. H. Ravenscraft, Robt
c. McCulloh, L. M. Gorsuch, William Y
McCulloh, A. E. Hitchins, Curtin M. Ora
ham, J. NJ Porter, NJ. D., J. w. J. Englar
Owen Hitchins, c. II. Walker, Richard
Bond and George A. Mckenzie.
These gentlemen are nearly al
large property-holders and among the
stauncnest business people of the
county, which leads us to observe thai
the AUeganaam's logic of motives
might be improved by less reckless,
ness in statements of fact.
