ITALIAN CATHOLICS AND THE EIGHT
OF SUFFRAGE.
THE Possibilities OF THE FUTURE.


Italy, as everybody knows, is of all
constitutional countries the most imper-
fectly represented in its Legislature. Out
of q population of upwaTds of twenty
seven millicns only about six hundred
thousand have the right to vote, and of
these little more than half exercise that
right, the twenty seven millions being
thus governed by about a quarter of a
million. But the present Government is
about to introduce a measure of electoral
reform, and Signor Zanar6elli, the Minis
ter of tho Interior, has been telling his
constituents at 1seo something about the
details of the proposed scheme. The
franchise is to be extended to all males
who shall have attained the age of twen-
ty one years but there is to be an educa-
tional test, which will probably tell rather
severely upon the rural populations,
especially in the south of Italy. The
change in the law, if carried, will of course
increase the Catholic vote, and should it
be at any time decided by the Holy See
that the time has come for advising Italian
Catholics to take part in political elections
it may have considerable influence on
the future of the Church in Italy. It must
be remembered, indeed, that as, in conse-
quence Ct the educational test, the extern
sion of the franchise may profit the towns
much more than the rural districts, the
advanced Radical element will in all pro-
liability simultaneously receive an acces-
sion of strength. Still, if there ia uythipg g
like manhood suffrage the Catholic
cause will gain immensely.
On the 29th October, the Unita Cdttolied,
the leading Catholic newspaper in North
Italy, contained an editorial headed,
"Universal Suffrage and the Duty of the
Catholic Population" In this article it is
| stated that the Premier, Carroll, has prom
ised to present Immediately to Parliament
with declaration of urgency, an Electoral
Reform bill prepared by the Home Minis
rer, Zanardelli, which will confer the priv
| ilege of voting "upon all males who shall
I have attained the age of twenty -one years
and shall be provided with sufficient
proofs of their ability to read and write"
The new Reform Bill will not take the
privilege of Joting from those citizens who
heretofore, although not able to read and
write, have enjoyed the electoral franchise
in virtue of their property assessment.
The Cnitd CGttolicG regards the new
Reform Bill as tautsmount to the gift of
4 universal suffrage to Italians. A general
election must follow the passing of this
Bill, and it will be the duty of all Catho-
lies to avail themselves, 80 argues the
onita CGttotica, of the privilege of voting,
AS long as the suffrage was confined to q
tied number, forming a email minority
of the population, the policy of abstention
was recommended by the Holy See.

WHAT I'VE BUY ABROAD, AND WHAT
WE SELL ABROAD.

The statistics of our foreign commerce
show that during the year ending June 80,
1873, our exports of domestic merchandise
were larger than during any previous year
in the history of the country. Since the
beginning of the new fiscal gear, our ex-
ports have gone on still further increasing,
while the imports have decreased, and the
balance of trade is now even more in our
favor than it was last autumn.
From 1868 to 1873, the period of our
greatest extravaganza and prodigality, our
imports largely exceeded our exports, the
excess ranging from thirty-n millions to
over one hundred and eighty millions.
During the last three years, however, the
case has fortunately been reversed, and
now we are selling far more than we'buy.
During the year ending June 80, 1876, the
excess was $40, ,643, ,4SI 1877, $l5I 49,
Goa; 1873, $257 7s6, ,964. The promise now
is that the balance for the present fscal
year, ending with next June, will be even
greater, rising to somewhere about $780,
100000.
Let US now see what are the main COM
modities the export of which has 30 vastly
increased, and what are the chief articles
of foreign production for which our demand
has largely fallen off during the last ten
years. That IL, how much, and where, we
have gained as self-supplyiug and as a
selling people.

the principal commodities Of domestic
