The Department of Agriculture, in

wheat crop of the country at $50, 900, 600
bushels, and the spring wheat at 14O, OG0,
600, total of $40, 900, 900, or %, 900, 600
greater than the yield of the season Of
1880. These figures are from a conserva'
tive source. The New York Times thinks
they may be too low, but that with a
wheat yield of no more than $40, 900, 900
bushels, and the prospect of lower prices
in foreign markets, owing to the i'm
proved expectations of the crop in
France. Germany and Hungary, it will
not be in the power of spectators to
force wheat up to 81 80 bushel this
winter.

The Ralanca of Trade.

The New Orleans IEmes-DemOcrdt,
in q recent issue. contains very
sensible article against the extrava
gance prevailing in this country,
and which is based upon the idea
that the balance of trade" is in our
favor, and that, therefore, we are among
the most prosperous countries of the
globe. 1t is true that this great Ameri-
can Republic is prosperous, and, on the
whole, our people are happy and con-
tented, but, even if this were true to the
extent claimed, it would be no excuse for
indulging in foolish extravaganza
merely for the purpose Of making
show IN the world.
The truth is, that at present the balance
Of trade is against US, for we are &C
tually purchasing from abroad more
than we are selling, as is shown by the
excess of our imports over our exports
Gold has to leave this country for Eu-
rope to pay for these purchases, and it
seems that the people of the United
States are actually indulging more in for
eign luxuries now than they did even in
the flush days Just after the war, when
reckless extravaganza preceded the
disastrous panic of 1878. This
is shown by the last report OF
the Secretary of the Treasury, which
states that during the past fiscal year we
purchased 100000 worth of such
| luxuries as silk, paintings, watches, etc,
the result being a deficit of $10,61O,93f
in our trade sheets for July, and Of
$50, S24, 742 for the seven months ending
August 1.
1t is probable, remarks our New Or
leans contemporary, that many of these
purchases were made in expectation Of The
big crops soon to be gathered, but it wei
says at is a dangerous policy to spend
money in advance, before it is earned, as
we are now doing. The best political
economists attribute the last financial
panic, which overran the country some
nine years ago, to the national extrava
gance prevailing from 1866 to 1878, ant
the expenditure of more than our in
come. This caused high prices anC
initiation and finally a gigantic
collapse. After this collapse we became
more careful and economical, sold oul
immense crops abroad, but purchased
nothing that was not absolutely neces-
sary, and thus, slowly but surely, We
restored our financial condition and be-
came prosperous again. Is not this
warning sufficiently recent TO save ui
? from another crisis and panic of this
kind, which 1878 showed US required
but six years of extravaganza to pro

1t is estimated that by the strikes OF
the present year the laborers have lost
fully SG.O0O.OO0, the employers $40. 00O,-
600, and the general public not less than
S25, 900, 600. This is q conservative esti-
mate. More than half of the great loss
to the people at large was caused by the
freight handlers strike in New York,
and one sixth of the loss to the labOrers
was caused by the same strike; and yet
protection is supposed to protect labor
first, last and always, and therefore to
be a preventive of strikes.

The New York Commercial Bulletin
prints a list of losses paid by insurance
companies in the New York ''Dry
Goods District" during the past five
years, and, after giving due credit for
the net premiums received from that
locality, shows that $21O has been paid
out for every 500 received in the pc
Rod named. The companies have, in
the five years, collected say $3,75O,OOO
in premiums from the dry goods district,
and have in the same time paid out for
losses there Sc, 1897, $50, and for expenses
81 800, 600 besides-the net result of
this branch of their operations being an
absolute loss to them of $4,137, 169. 1t
is just as if the merchants in that local.
ty had for years together averaged an
outgo Of $21O for every 800 of income;
or, to put it in palmer terms, as if there
had been a charge of $40 for bad debts,
and $40 more for store expenses.

Cooperative insurance is making won
derful progress in all parts of the United

whose returns are also given, reported

S62, and losses paid last year of s21, 49,

two thirds as many persons having CO.
operative society certificates as there are
persons holding life insurance policies,
and last year the former associations paid
out in losses nearly 81 per cent. as much
in money as was disbursed by the older
companies.

Mr.. Blaine was interviewed in Chicago
recently, and expressed himself very EN-
phahcally regarding the coalition in
Virginia between the Mahoneites and the
Republicans. He is bitterly opposed to
any such combination, and thinks the
Republicans have suffered by being
mixed up with Reputation. He is,
therefore, strongly in favor of his
party repudiating the regulators. lie
thinks, however, that Virginia is
in worse plight than any OF
her Southern sisters because of having
the rich territory of West Virginia
forcibly torn from Ter during the war as
war measure. For this reason he
thinks it only just that, as a matter of
fair compensation for this robbery, and
also because, many years ago, Virginia
ceded the vast Northwest Territory for
the public veal, the General Government
ought to come to her assistance. Mr..
Blaine may be just in his views, but the
people will hardly consent to look at the
matter in the light that he presents it.

According to the New York CONNER
ciaI Bulletin, the latest crop dispatches
have but one story to tell, aud that is q
favorable one throughout. Another
week of the fine harvesting and thresh-
fng weather has been made the most of
by the wheat producers of Minnesota
and Dakota, and it is now safe to assert
that the great spring wheat crop of those
regions has been secured in excellent
condition. The same bright, clear
weather has been of inestimable value to
corn. which is now for the most part
entirely out of the reach of frost, while
fall blowing is being pushed forward at
a rate which forecasts a large increase in
winter wheat acreage next year.

Talk About COMPROMISE.

1t is quite common to hear it stated on
the streets that a compromise will
probably be effected between the two
legislative tickets now in the field in
Chatham county, and that all differences
will be settled before the election. The
only way. it seems to US, that any settle
ment can be arrived at is for the boilers
to wholly Withdraw from the field and
return to their allegiance to the Demo
cratic party. The regular ticket was
placed in nomination by one
of the most intelligent and
thoroughly representative meetings ever
held in the country, and the secession Of
the minority was as square a bolt and
rebellion against the wishes of a large
majority of the party as was ever wit
messed. How, then, can the Democ-
racy maintsin its dignity and self
respect by treating with the
boilers on any other terms than
those of unconditional surrender? And
further, even if the Democracy were in
inclined to treat. with whom could it
confer2 Who, in other words, repre-
sents the boilers? OF whom consists
their executive committee, and who has
authority to authorize conference?
The whole matter stands simply thus:
A boiling minority-so small that when
it left the meeting its absence was not
felt-defed the Democracy and the in
telligence of Chatham county, because
they could not control and ''boss" the
majority. Now, shall the dog wsg the
tail, or the tail wag the dog? That is
the sole and only question to be decided.
