In 1872, fifteen months before the great
panic prostrated American business, the
net imports of foreign merchandise exceed
ed the exports Of domestic produce by
slS2,4E, ,i9l. In 1873 this adverse balance
was reduced by s62, 76l, ,203, and the over
plus st imports tall to Sll9.6j ,2SS In
1874, the year Of the couvulsIon, rever-
sal In tbs trade movement, reaching the
unprecedented and disproportiouate total
Of sl3s, ,53e 9ss, carried the balance over
to the credit side. and the experts sur
passed the imports by SlS,S76, ,69S. In
1870 there was slight and natural react
ion of S}S,439,42}, which brought sur
plus OF sl9 j62, 10 back TO the import side.
But in 1876 the current returned into the
channel which il has followed ever SINCE
and with eyer-increasing strength. The
favorable balance rose to s19, ,6l3, $40 for
1876, to l5l ,l5S 49t for 1877, and to $751;
S}2. H67 for the fiscal year which ended
with last June. Thus since 1872 the i'm

exhibit the still swifter growth of S252,-

the figures OF lo1S are compared with
those OF 1872 the reversal in the balance of
our trade stands at $40. 2jD, ,l5S. To
speak roundly 1t shows an average altera-
tion OF five millions per month through the
whole scptennlal period.
The dgures which We have given are
exclusive OF specie. Returns separating
gold from silver IN the specie movement
will not be published for week or two
Til these appear, we cannot present
servlceable statement of the imports aud
exports of coin and bullion for the last
fiscal year. When the iull official tables
are before us. we will return to the subject
with more exact analysis of the balance OF
trade. Meanwhile, we may say that,
gold and silver together. the ex-
ports exceeded the imports of specie by

LIEBIG'S CURE FOR INTEMPERANcE.-The
Scientific American contains an account of
an experimental test of Liebig's theory for the
cure OF habitual drunkenness The expert
ment consisted of simple change of diet, and
was tried upon twenty persons, with sat
isfactory results. The diet proposed is farina-
ceous, and In the cases reported was composed
Of macarQni, haricot beans dried peas. and
lentils. The dishes were made paIatabe by
being thoroughly boiled aud seasoned with
butter or olive oil. Breads of highly glutin-
Gus quality were used, care being taken to
prevent their being soured i'm course of prepa-
ration In his explanation of the theory 1iebig
remarks that the Discrimination for alcoholic
StimulantS, after partaking of such food, IS
due TO the carbOnaceouS starch contained
therein, which renders unnecessary and dis
tasteful the carbon of the liquors
