MR. WArTRRsoN, in his COarier'Jotrnat,
seryes notice on the Old Line Wings in
the Democratic party that il they don't
like the way things are going in that party
they can "get out" Here is just what he
does say: "Thc Democratic party is made
up Of Old Wings and Old Democrats. They
come together on new issues. II any old
Whis who has got astray and feels himtelt
away from home in the Democratic party
wants to 20 back and take up the line Of
error pursued by the Wings until it ex.
tinsuished tho Old Wing party, he will
ind what he wants among the Republicans,
and we advise him by all means to get
there quick" 1t is generally well under
stood why the Wings have cast their iot
with the Democratic party; it is also well
known that they have never felt at ease In
that party. 1t isn't comfortable aud home
like, and a. the domestic board the Wing
has been treated more like a hired
man than one OF the family. IN
West Virginia he has even been grudgea
the crumbs that fall from the masters
table. And the Old whiS is getting tired
Of this treatment. He has some family
pride Of his own, and he doesn't relish the
idea Of being made to black Democratic
boots forever. Very many Wings have
found comfortable quarters in the Repueli'
can party, and not few advanced Demo.
cra,s have found that ours Is party not
without a kindly hospitality. There Is
room for many more. The Republican
party doesn't ask man what he has BEEN
Il is only concerned to know what he ~
lie may have been against us-we don't
mind that II he Is with us nowhere u
abe great big Republican hand ready te
take his in friendly grasp.

THE condition of our foreign trade is, of
course, always watched with unusual inter
est. On this subject the Philadelphia
Times, of recent date, remarks; THE
bureau OF statistics, in its bulletin relative
to the foreign commerce of the United
States for the month of November, clearly
indicates the turning of the tide OF trade in
our favor once more. The excess OF exports
over imports during that ilonth amounted
to the nice little sum of $25,Sl9 1885, as against
$l3,413,7l7 for the same period in 1881. The
report for the year endingNoycmber 0shows
TIE exports and imports to have been very
nearly equal, the balance in our favor being
less than 81 100000. For the preceding
year il amounted TO upwards OF $3.50
600, the great falling of being mostly due
to the short crops of 1880 There is every
reason to believe there will be a much bet
