1t Is just possible that the entertainments
which underwent an apparent collapse, when
the courts decided that they should DO gov
erned by the rules OF Judge BARRETT in
stead OF the rules OF the Marquis OF QUEENS
BERRY can be revived through n little iu-
dicious mixture with the drama. This was
recently attempted in Brooklyn, and failed,
but there were several reasons that indicate
that 1t was hardly a fair trial.
The idea OF two men pounding each other
with only the ring ropes around them is Il
little too crude for legal liberation; but sup
pose that tho plot and action OF n play re-
quire sparrinS contest to take place, and
one OF the sparrerS to be, to all appearance,
Knocked out, what Is to prevent it? What
Judge would say that man shouldn't be
dramatically maIle,l, stunped, or even ami
hilated, II the playwright wanted it done?
Even murder is an orthodox and often
attractive feature in play. So it is now and
so it always has been since he drama began
In Greece, although in those days there was
n still unsurmounted objection to having it
done in full view. 1t used to be performed be-
hind tho scenes, aud the chorus would then
tell Of 1t and the tragedy be developed on the
understanding that it actually had been &C.
cOmplished We don't know when the first
visible theatrical murder was committed,
but doubtless it was introduced with timid-
ity and hesitation. Then q single assassin
and n single victim were the limit of the au-
thor's necessities for illustrating his story.
Bat by constant practice it has grown
80 common and so frequent, that now,
in some OF our modern native dramas,
We shiver with terror and howl with
delight when Buffalo BILL, or KIT, the
Arkansas Traveller, decimatcs a barroom or
mows down tribes of savayes aud renegades
with knives and pistols and Winchesters,
that seem necessary only to be placed in vir-
tuous hands to become murdcrous beyond
tho possibility of failure
And who would deny for n momont that such
scenes as these arc as much more wicked
OF purpose and fearful in execution than
the representation of a simple boxing match
or even of n prize fight, as the Marquis of
QUEENsBERRY rules are than those OF Judge
BARRETT? And II tho drama provides that
two boxers should appear and fight, what is
to prevent Mr.. SULLIVAN or any other man
from giving full play to his pugilistic talents
under the broad license OF dramatic fervor
Ono weakness in the suggestion Ia, of
course, apparent. If two boxers should go
at each other In dead earnest, there could
be no certainty that the plot of the play
would not be somewhat upset by the wrong
man coming out ahead. That is very serl-
GUS objection.

make him richer In the end. Tho same IL
true Of nation. II 1t spends more than It
makes, not in luxurles and pleasures. but In
Increasing the productive capacity OF Its
land, it's mines. its forests. and its manufac-
tories, 1t will, instead Of becoming cmbar-
raised, eventually repay its borrowings
and be better of than ever. This
is the condition in which the
United States finds itself to-day. Tho coun-
try Is rich both In actual wealth and In It's
capacity for producing wealth. We are reap
ing the fruits Of tho expenditures FOR which
we ran In debt years ago. Our railroads
have made millions Of acres OF land availa-
he for cultivation which without them would
remaina wilderness; our factories and mines.
which we borrowed the money to build and
to open, are yielding abundantly, and we are
able to support, without foreign aid, not only
our food and clothing producers, but an
army OF mechanics OF all kinds. In fact, our
trouble comes from temporary excess OF
riches; and, as Mr.. RANDALL himself goes
on to point out. 1t Is a trouble which cannot
DO ascribcd to mn adverse balance OF trade.
because that balance has been for several
years In our favor.
There Is this further consideration too,
which especially makes the balance Of trade
fallacous test when 1t Is applied to n whole
country II the inhabitants OF any country
happen to be, like those OF Great Britain, tho
proprietors Of an immense amount of re-
n.unerative Investments outside of its limits
they may bring their incomes homo to spend
and thus make the aggregate OF their i'm
ports exceed that OF their exports. But this
evidently IL no sign OF embarrassment, but
OF the reverse. For many years Great Britain
has annually imported more than $500, 900, 900
In excess OF her exports, and is still the richest
and least embarrassed country In the world.
The imports OF Frame, Belgium. and Hol-
land always for the same reason largely ex-
coed their Imports and yet they do not at
all impoverish them. On the other hand.
Germany aud Austria usually export moro
than they import because their industries
are largely carried with capital belonging to
foreigners. Tho balance of trade indicates
nothing but the movement OF commodities
from one place to another. and il OF no value
for any other purpose. TO seek to change it
from one side to the other by tariff legisln-
tion or by any other artillce, with tho view OF
promoting national prosperitv.is Us useless as
trying to improve the weather by increasing
or diminishing the quantity OF coal mined.
high tariff may check importations. and a
low tariff may stimulate them. but national
wealth in either case will increase only by
the excess OF national production over ma
tional consumption, whether that consump-
ton besOf homemade goods or of goods i'm
ported from abroad in exchange for home
products.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1885-01-04

We regret to find so eminent statesman
as the Hon. SAMUEL J. RANDALL apparently
asserting to the old and often exposed fal-
lacy that tho balance OF trade Is an index of
national prosperity. In his recent speech to
the Louisville Board OF Trade Mr. RANDALL
ascribes our panics of 1s37.and 1857 to the
previous excoss in each case OF our imports
over our exports, and then proceeds:
tr'te saying and some of have realized the
truth OF IT, that man who spends more money than he
makes will become embarrassed and SAP according 10
my Judgment country Whieh imports more Than IL e.
ports mast Jecome embarrassed"
Asa matter of fact 1t is not true that n
man who spends more than no makes must
necessarily become embarrassed. All de-
ponds upon what he spends his money for. II
he pays 1t away for champagne, cigars, and
riotous living he will undoubtedly get into
trouble, but II he invests 1t In judicious farm
improvements, In good mill and factory
machinery. or in wcll-selected stock OF
goods. the expenditure will DO profitable, and
