The report of the Bureau of Statistics of the for
eign commerce of the United States for December,
1883, makes comparison with the movements OF
the same month of preceding years that is more
unfavorabe than was expected. The exports ofmer-
chandise for the month were ST. 100000 less than
in the same month of 1892, aud were $4,000
less than in the month of 1851. The resulting
balances, however. are modified by declines in the
imports of S5 900 900 from the month of 1882 and
Of SO, 100 900 from the month Of 1881. Hence the
excess OF exports for December, 1888, is 81 100000
smaller than for December, 1882, and only
81 .sOO.0 900 greater than for December, 1881. The
specie movements for December OF the three years
were so insignificant as to affect the net results to
only tIihing amounts.
The following were the movements in the months
of December for three years and the net resulting
balances:

Springfield ull.) Daiiy Monitor.
If there is anything disgusting to a
purely American mind, it is to hear some
insignifoan hapnoodle Of q town pump
politician making the remark that
"Bsyard would be great man IL he only
came from q larger state" On the same
principle Tom 0chiltree must be great
statesman, Jim Beliord wise man,
George Francis Train bright particular
star, because they all came from large
states. Mr.. Bayard came from one of the
grandest states in the American sister
hood. The first state in the Union and the
first to adopt the Federal constitution.
The State OF Delaware gave to the infant
republic Bayard's grandfather, the
grsndest of American diplomats, and one
whose wisdom and grandeur of character
gave weight to the young republic and
compelled sll Europe to respect it. Away
with such claptrap creations OF coward
minds, who are afraid the American
people will select the great man from the
proud little State Of Delaware, and the
insignificant p.odles-who bank on 'bie

is an argument in his favor. He car

As to the yield from fourfold msnuring,
1t mas been shown agsin and again that
not only double, but treble and quadrupls
returns have been rssohed. Not perhaps
the fret or second years, as explained

years. Mr.. Dickson, Mr.. Hsrdaway and
still more recently Mr. Furman, have
demonstrated this beyond dispute. But
