FRIDAY, DEC. IL, 1882.
The average Democrats majority IN |
Missouri at the late election WAS about
as 900 = an increase Of about Is 600 o. |
yer majorities 70 tae past elk years
For tho year ending October 81, the
excess Of our importations OF merchan.
die over exports was O,605 $50. So
the balance Of trade hss turned against
tho United States, tut the expected
heavy shipmeuts Of produce within the
next seven months will probably show
n larger balance for the curren. fiscal
year than the twenty six million last
year. TIE heaviest balance iu our his.
tory was for tho year ending June 80,
1879. when IL reached in round numbers
1864 COO, 900.
At the present rate OF pay ment the
United States. contemporary SAYS,
will be out Of debt in about eight year,.
The States, counties and municipalities
are also paying Off their debts IS rap
Idly as possible. II ia more than prob
able that there will not be another
war in this country for q Lundied years
and without . war of some kind the
government will never have need to bor-
row dollar. Then where can the i'm
mcnse surplus money Of the country 90
cxcspt into real astatef Every thing in
tho shape Of this kind OF property Is
bound to increase as 1t has not done
before in twenty years. Farms that TO-.
day are worth $50 per acre. will be
worth $40 in a year or two.--E1.
Senator DAVIS. Of this State, says tie
Democratic party has been out of pow.
err so long that it is almost without or.
gan'za'ion. He says, however that an
effort Is about to be made which, If car.
ried out, will effect thorough organ
izstion and do much to advance the in
terests of the party.
The President points out that OF
one hundred and twenty eight million
dollars in silver dollars already coined.
only about thirty five million dollars
are in circulation; and. he might have,
very truthfully addeh, nobody prefers
them to paper dollars. Congress
paced the silver dollar bill in respon sc
TO what was supposed to be a public
sentiment. There can be no doubt a.
bout public sentiment which packed
the Treasury witt the bulk Of the sill :
yer dollar coinage.
The Wheeling Register says: A1ul.
tcrations have been found by the New
York State board OF Health. in 50 ont
OF ga samples of drugs examined by it.
This kind Of adulteraticn is the easiest
to be practiced. and believed to be done
on larger scale than any other. IL is
also perhaps, the most injurious in its
results. Is the State Board Of Health
OF West Virginia, which claims 10 be
tho best organization OF the kind in
The country, fully assured and con-
WINGED that no such authorizations are
being practiced within its jurisdiction
