the half year was probably about $35, ooO,O 900.
But during that time the excess of exports
over imports of specie was about So, OOOooo'
80 that some balance on trade account besides
freight money insurance, profits OF foreign i'm
porters, and interest on debts due abroad, re-
main to be settled.
Under these circumstances some reduction OF
taxes is unqucstionably desirable, and the
House has acted crcditably to that end. by
demagogues who are willing to court the favor
of tobacco growers, brewers, distillers and
liouor-dealers and drinkers, without regard to
the onblic interest. the House bill is declared
an insignificant and inadequate measure. But
the country will certainly sustain the removal
of other taxes rather than those paid by SELL
era and consumers of tobacco and liquors.

Number faifures.o -Liabilitie.. :

Relatively, the greatest decrease appears at
Cincinnati and the greatest increase at Boston,
where, as the exchanges also show, trade has
been more depressed this year than at any
other leading city. But this comparison and
the entire return show that the business Of
the country is still on altogether too sound
basis to make any serious commercial disturb
ance at all probable. Losses during the past
year have not, in the aggregate, equaled
profits during either of the two years pre-
ceding, and business is conducted so largely
on a cash basis that series of really extraor'
binary untoward events has caused no alarm.
Indeed, If the labor contests were out of the
way there would be reason to anticipate
year of very satisfactory progress, provided
the crops turn out as well as they now prom
Use. And the prospect of an early terlnina-
ton of these contests is at least little better
than it was week ago.

1t has been shown clearly enough that the track
was not in proper condition at the point where the
disaster of Thursday the NewYork and Long
Branch Railway occurred That trains were per-
united to pass over it when it was not seems
to have been the fault of the section foreman.
Superintendent Randolph, who has had an extern
sive and varied experience IN railway affairs and
has made himself master of his calling through
unwearied devotion to duty had tried to guard
against the possibility of any such disaster by an
order expressed in the cearest and most positive
language commanding section men to stop all
trains in of the least doubt to the security of
any part of the track. There certainly good
reason for doubt in this case, and the section fore
man was ia duty bound to let no train pass until
the safety Of the track had been tested thoroughly
After the disaster the superintendent showed
praiseworthy ppomptncss. energy aud fertility of
resources in caring for the wounded, in transport
lug the passengers of the wrecked train to their
destinations and in getting the line in running

are RAPIDLY mastering it have been showing.
The men are indeed entitled to ask fair living
wages, and may justly urge that the cost Oh
living has greatly increased. But this increase
there is every reason to believe, will be only
temporary. And an advance OF cents an
hour for them is an increase of nearly 10
per cent. A like increase on all wages, when
the railroads are getting 37l2 per cent less Tor
their services than they did year ago, and
having more for materials, would not be en-
cuuraging to the owners.

The disagreement between the Harvard and
Columbia crews at New London, owing to
which the race set down for to-day will not
take place, is rather unfortunate. Such things
look childish Harvard showed an obliging dis
position in agreeing to postponement
after Columbia lost her coxswain, and it
would have been graceful in Columbias
men if in return they had yielded a
point to their rivals as to the hour of the
race to-day. Harvard has beaten Columbia
several times, and it is pretty generally
understood that the winner in the last race
has more to say than the defeated crew about
the conditions of the next contest. Columbia
seems also to have caused disappointment
at Lake George, where it expected
she would compete with the oarsmen Of the
University of Pennsylvania to morrow. Per
haps her representatives feel that the victory of
the Freshmen last Saturday is glory enough.
