THE Bureau of Statistics announces that
the balance of trade in favor of the United
States for the year ending on the 3Oth OF
June 1879, was two hundred and sixty-five
millions of dollars, an increase of eight mil
lions over the previous year. The total val
ue of our exports was seven hundred and
ten millions. We exported five millions
more in corn and bullion than we imported.
For the first nine months of the year the inn
ports exceeded the exports; but the last
three months turned the scale, our exports
increasing enormously. Sugar was the
largest import, two millions less than the
previous year; coffee next, also two millions
less; tea next, falling off two per cent. I'M
ports of diamonds, silks, laces and other lux
uries increased, which is sure sign OF bet
ter times. The greatest increase in exports
was wheat which showed an increase ofthir-
ty-four millions of bushels. Exports OF flour
increased ten per cent, cattle sixty per
csnt., iron tbirty-three per cent, aud tobac-
co ten per cent. Exports of cotton and pc
troleum oil decreased somewhat.

THE Greenback papers seem to be singing
another tune Before election they all as
serted with one accord that there wasn't
money enough. Now they are all protesting
that this State has been flooded with money.
Judging from their remarks one would sup
pose that DR.. De La Martyrs greenback cur
rency fund of S1,OOo, 900 has really been
established, and that most of it had found
its way to Maine. One assertion was made
to win victory, the other to explain defeat.
One is Just as false as the other.

SoLoN CHASE is still repeating the asser-
ton which he made SO many times during
the campaign, that the contest in Maine was
between the owners of funded wealth and
the industries of the country. Such talk is
as false as it is mischievous. The only
foundation for it rests in the incendiary har-
angues of imported western demagogues
and few home products of the same spe-
cies. A party which had at the head OF its
ticket the owner of large wealth which he
was accus omed to let out in sums ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 at y per cent. inter
est, and whose representative tickets were
made up in part of Democratic bondholders
and bank owners, will find it up hill work
to show that it was par excellence the party
of the labOrinp man.

THE Detroit Post thinks that the most sa-
lient feature of the election in Maine, as in
California last week, is the utter disintegra-
ton and generalization of the Democratic
party. In the easternmost State OF the
Union as in the most western, the Democra-
cy has practically abdicated even the dignity
of being ''the opposition and has sunk into
the insignifcance of third party. 1t cut
ritiful figure enough last year in Maine,
coming out third, with less than rs, 600 votes
in a total of 125, 900; but its last years rec
ord was glorious compared with the utter
disaster and ruin of this. In a largely in
creased total vote the Democrats will proba-
bly, not poll two-thirds of their last years
ballot They have been going after strange
gods in Maine, as in California and Michi-
gan, and the result has been the demorali-
zation and wreck of their party-wreck
which is irreparable and hopeless.

THE waning popularity of Lord Beacons-
fields government has received severe
blow in the revolt at Cabul and the massacre
of the British embassy. The conquest of
Afghanistan has evidently got to be made
over again with large expenditure of treas
ure and the waste of many lives. An inn
perial policy, such as it has been the fashion
to call Reaconsfield's, is evidently not the
kind of policy that is likely to prove benef-
cial to England's true interests, however
much it may please British pride.

CONVENTION GOSSIP.

The Democratic caucus last night was for
the purpose OF considering the report OF the
Committee on Apportionment redistricting
the State. There was no quorum present,
but notwithstanding that fact the matter was
discussed, and the fact that there exists con-
siderable opposition to the report was de-
veloped.
The Committee on the Judiciary Is rapidly
completing Its report and will be ready to
present it ID day Or two. The ordinance
