The Balance of Trade.

II prosperity follows IN the train OF q IA
vorable balance Of trade, then assuredly
the United States ought to be enjoying hal
cyon days. The balance on the movement
of merchandise turned In our favor five
years ago, aud for the last three years 1t
has been increasing in arithmetical pro-
gression. Unfortunately, there appears to
be hitch in the working OF the rule.
Thus far the higher the favorable balance
has risen, the hlyher also the bankruptcies
have mounted in those appalling state
meDts, which Messrs. Dun, Barlow Il Co.
publish; grim mile stones that show how
far we have travelled along the road to
ruin. In the last fiscal year the failures
were without parallel, especially when
the disheartening record is considered as
the fifth annual report of one continuous
disaster. Yet Ia the same twelvemonth
the favorable balance of trade was swollen
to unexampled figures. We present be-
low table Of the foreign business, exclu-
sve of specie, of the United States for the
last seven fiscal years. The first column
shows the net imports of foreign merchan-
disc that is to say, the imports less the
re-exports. The second column gives the
totals OF domestic exports In specie values

A Contrast.

The New Era says Contrast the course
of the French Government with our own.
Their nation at the close of the war with
Germany was in an incomparably worse
position than We ever were-beaten in bat
tie, and forced to pay the costs OF the war
on both sides, the enemy retaining their
territory as collateral until 1t was so paid
and their chief city, with a population
double that OF the largest city of our repub-
lie, in the hands OF insurgents. Bat the
French Government made no criminal
blunder in the great emergency"
Well, let us contrast. The French Gov
ernmcnt in order TO pay the war indemnity
demanded of it by Germany borrowed
u,oney on interest bearing notes. Those
notes or bonds (for they answer to our
bonds are outstanding to-day. The French
Government also made a forced loan on
the people (as we did) and authorized its
fnancial agent, the Bank of France, to is
sue paper money that was for time ire
deemable in specie. Then what did 1t do?
Instead OF first paying its bonded debt 1t
set about paying the demand notes that
answer to our greenoacks. Ii contracted
itS paper currency, Withdrawing millions
year, and last January had so reduced the
amount that it was enabled to resume spe-
Gle payments aud to offer coin for every
demand note then out. That is what the
French Government has done, and the re-
suit. the Era says is that ''while business
stagnatIon exists in countries less wisely
ruled, the people OF France are busy, hap
py and prosperous. She has by her fnan-
cial policy kept her people employed
ayailed herself of all her productive re-
sources, increased the revenues Of the gov
ernment. eyaded financial crises, and paid
her enormous war fines"
Exactly, and had we done likewise we
might have been in as good estate. What
did we do? We reversed the financial poi
icy of France. We attempted to pay the
bonded debt instead of redeeming the green
backs. We did not perceive what France
perceived. that an irredeemsble paper cur
rency brings about financial distress and
Industrial stagnation. Unlike her We kept
our paper money irredeemable and did not
evade financial crises. On the contrary
we invited them. Had we followed her
example We doubtless should have kept
our people employed and have been pros
porous to-day. The resumptionists see
the mistake we have made and wish to i'm
itate France, and resume specie payments.
The Greenbackers insist that we shall pur-
sue our bad policy of discharging q debt
that is not yet due instead Of paying one
that is over due and thus freeing the coun-
try from the burden OF an irredeemable
paper currency.
That is the contrast between us and
France, and it is q contrast unfavOrable to
us. Let US hasten to follow the wise ex-
ample Of that prosperous country. The
Era says that France prohibited the corr
traction of the volume OF paper until IA
yorable balance Of trade with the rest Of
thQ world had hronoht into tho onu untry

General Butler seems to be utterly
without capacity to understand the cur
rency question. No doubt he knows that
his talk about taxing the Government
bonds is folly. for he must see that the
Government does tar the bonds by placing
them at n lower rate of interest than would
be possible if it leyisd tax on them after
they were issued. But on the currency

Make Childhood Sweet.

BY LOUISE 5. UPHAM.
Wait not Til the little hands are at rest
Eie You oil them full of flowers;
Wait not for the crowniug tubero,e
To make sweet the last cad hours;
But while. in the busy household band
Your dariings still need your guiding hand,
oh. fill their lives with sweetness.
VISIT not till the little hearts are still.
For the loving look and phrase;
But while you gently chide a fault
The good deed kindly praise.
The word you would speak beside the bier
Falls sweeter far on the living ear;
Oh, nil young lives with sweetness.
Ali what arc kisses on clay-cold lips
To the rosy mouth we press.
When our zee one flies W her mothers arms
For loves tenderest carcss!
Let never worldly bsuble keep
Your heart from the JOY each day should reap
Circling your lives with sweetness.
Give thanks, each morn. for the sturdy Loys.
Give thanks Tor the fairy girls;
With 4 dover Of wealth like this ut home,
Would you rife the earth for pearls.
Wait not for Death to gem Loves crown
But daily shower LIES blessings down.
And NIL young hearts with sweetness.
Remember the homes where the ligh, has fed
Where the rose has faded sway:
And the love that glows in youthful hearts,
on cherish II while you may.
And make your home a garden of flowers.
W here JOY shall bloom through childhood
hours.

One OF the hrst things young men have
TO consider, when they begin to contem-
plate entering upon the actual work oflife
Is where to settle. Shall it be in the East
or the West, in the North or the South, in
this city or that village? Where is there a
good place?
Ia answer to these inquiries, arising in
the mind Of almost every young man, We
say, there is q good place everywhere,
Wherever you are is good place. Some
places may be better, much better, than
others: but every place is good
There l. no place on the face OF the whole
earth where character may not be formed
where the mind and the heart cannot be
cultivated. Are you alone, even upon a
desert; the phenomena of nature NAV be
observed, and treasured up in memory,
aud each successive day behoids you wiser
than on the day before. So in absolute soli-
tude high resolves and generous purposes
may be cherished until they become solld-
deG and fixed as part of our very being.
1t Is what we will be, rather than where
we will be, that should be mainly consid-
cred.
Whatever your occupation may be, and
in however obscure a place you may be
pursuing it, seek always the attainment of
the highest possible skill The same ex-
neghbOrs in a country village is the first
foundation of metropolitan or national dis
tinction. Never say to yourself, because
there are but few TO see my work will
not take the trouble to do it well. Guilt
vate such a love for perfection that a poor
ly performed task will be hateful to your
own eyes, even If they are the only ones to
look upon it.
Do not wait, do not postpone until YOU
get 10 great city, the doing of great
things. By great things, wemean every
thing that is done perfectly. Character is
always forming, and the forming of repu-
tation is always going on where two per-
sons are in company. Therefore, for the
establishment of both character and repu-
tation every place is adapted.
Be ever active. and do whatever you un-
dertake well, and you may travel the world
over and never fiud yourself out of place,
". Y. Ledger.
