or an average Of over s11o,ooo,o 900 a year.
As we have already seen, the balance of
trade in the last three years in favor of the
United States is S4S8, 5S2, 539, or an average
of more than $l60, 900 q year. The
balance of trade the last year, if compared,
with that of the two years next before the
panic, shows a gain in favor Of the United
States, in one year of over S400,000,000.
1t is not necessary that I should dwell
upon the importance of this favorable state
of the balance of trade. Balances must be
settled in cash-in the money of the world.
The enterprises of our business men reach.
out to all parts of the world. Our agricul-
tural and manufactured products more and
more seek and find their market in foreign
countries. The m of all parts Of

for the improvement of our financial con-

soundness and wisdom are sanctioned by the

still diminishing public burdens of debt,

We may we'll hope that we are on the thresh-
old of better times. But we must not for
get that the surest foundation of a restored
financial prosperity is a sound constitutional
currency and unstained national credit.

The Pacific Railroad Funding
Bill.

Next to the Silver bill, the most i'm
portant measure before the present Con
gress is the bill pending in the Senate tc
provide sinking fund from the earnings
of the Central and Union Pacific Rail
roads for the principal and interest
which those corporations owe to the gov
eminent, amounting to an enormous
sum, variously estimated at from 1922,
900, 900 to $4,000, 900. The bill was
reported from the Judiciary Committee
of the Senate, and is warmly advocated
by the ablest and best men of both par
ties, nearly all the Democrats, prominent
among them, Senators Thurman, Nc
Donald, Beck, Merrimon, Morgan and
Bayard; and Mr.. Davis, of Illinois 0n-
depenD and Republicans like Messrs,
Edmunds and Christiancy, while its
chief supporters are Stanley Matthews
Visiting. statesman,) HippleM tchell,
Blaine snd others of that ilk, embracing
a majority of the Republicans, among
them, all that remain of the carpet bag
crew. The necessity of the bill is in the
fact that the corporations are dividing
out among the stockholders the proceeds
of the roads in order to bankrupt the cor
porations and cheat the people out Of
their dues, when the debt has matured.
As stated by Senator Beck, sit is con
g coded that the corporations will be
" hopelessly insolvent, and that the peo-
" pie of the United States Wal De cheated
" out the money they nave paid for these
+" companies all of which they pledged
g themselves and their property to repay
$ with interest-unless steps are now
g taken requiring them to lay aside a
:" fund for that purpose and to prevent
." them dividing out all their earnings
" among the stockholders, as they are
" now doing, as though they owed no
g debts and never intended either to paw
'' or to provide for them

IF Congress intends adopting a law
to settle the question of how the electoral
vote is to be counted in future, it is time
the subject was introduced. Each house
has a select committee to take the matter
iato consideration, but if they have made
any progress, the lynx eyed Washington
correspondents have failed to discover
the fact. Several bills have been intro
duced by divers members, which are re-
markable only for their crudeness and
insuficiency. For all practical purposes
the law as laid down by the trainers of
the government and executed from its
beginning down to 1876, ought to be
sufficient, buf it was nGlliGed and set at
defiance by the last Congress. At that
time the Republican leaders committed
themselves to one principle at least. 1t is
that Congress shall not go behind returns
which have the Sanction of the regularly
authorities of. the several
States. As all the Southern States gov
ernments are in the hands of the Demo
cratic party, and will probably be SO at
that time, the application Of this rule
will leave no room for doubt as to how
their votes will be counted.

As the chief employment of the army
since the war has been to uphold alien
governments in the South and to harass
her people, until they they established
governments of their own in spite of in
reference, and as that policy has been
discarded by majority of the people of
the country, there was reason to expect a
more thorough reform in the military
establishment than this measure contem-
plates. But the Senate is not Democrat
ic, and experience has shown that it will
require larger Democratic majority in
the House than the present to carry
through every important measure de-
manded by the best interests of the coun-
try
