The Balance of Trade Delusion.

This "balance of trade" delusion has
been effectively illustrated in this way
A man starts with $50. 900 in goods fol
Europe, He sells them so advanta-
geously after he gets there, and he buys
other goods from the proceeds Sc
shrewdly that he brings home goods to
the value of 100000. He enters these
at the custom house. Result: Balance
of trade against the country, $4,000.
But if he has to sell his goods at
loss of SIS, 000, and brings back that sum
the balance of trade in the country's
favor is $25, 900. Or, more striking still.
if the ship goes down that contains
those goods and they are all lost, then
the balance of trade in favor of the
country is $4,000. That is, the more in
dividuals who compose the country
lose in trading with foreigners the rich
er the country becomes. Could there
be a fallacy more transparent, or a
more absurd claim advanced as grow
ing out of it ?-Boston Herald.

The Editors Mortgage.

A mortgage is strange institution.
1t makes man rustic, and it keeps
him poor. 1t is strong incentive t,
action, and a wholesale reminder OF
the fleeing months and years. A mort.
gage represents industry because it is
never idle and never rests. 1t is like d
bosom friend, because the greater the
adversely, the closer it sticks to d
fellow. 1t is like a brave soldier, ii
never hesitates at charging nor fears to
close in on an enemy. 1t is like til,
sand-bag of the thug, silent in its ap-
plication but deadly in effect. Like
the very hand of providence, it spreads
all over creation and it's influence il
everywhere yisable. 1t is the grasp OF
the devil-tish, the longer it holds tn,
greater the strength. 1t will exercise
feeble energies and lend activity t,
the sluggish brain. No matter how
hard debtors work, the mortgage works
harder still. 1t makes a fellow sour.
cross, selfish, unsociable and miserable
and rarely does him any good, only t.
exercise him.-Eureka Messenger.

Fair Coal Profits and Wages.

Mr.. George W. Childs, who has such
a strong prediction for justice and
humanity that he has never succeeded
in overcoming it, believes sin paying
the highest price to the wage-earLer
that is possible and leaves a fair mar
gin of profit to the employer"
The attempt to apply this admirable
principle to the equities in the case OF
the anthracite coal miners strike re-
veals several obstacles in the way
which are of much general interest.
Under present conditions the ''fair
margin of profit to the employer" can
not be considered. The mining rail-
road companies which monopolize the
anthracite business are paying inter-
est and dividends on a mass of securi-
ties which are largely of fictitious value.
Consumers of anthracite are compelled
to bear tribute to a gigantic quantity
of watered stock. There is no fair
profit consideration in the matter. 1t
is simply a question of how tight the
screws can be safely turned Oh the COM
munity and the miners, qualified by
the cheapness of other fnel supplies.
The effect of the tariff on coal, it can
be seen, is to force dividends out of
consumers for capital created only by
resolutions in meetings of directors and
by stroke of the pen. Wipe out this
over-capitalization and there may be
legitimate talk of comparing wages
with fair profits; but the opportunity
does not exist in the case of a mOnOp-
oily backed, directly or Indirectly, by a
tariff. The tariff in this case does not
help the workingmen at all. 1t only
sustains such tremendously overloaded
and abused properties as the Reading
and other corporations of its ilk. And
in the mean time workingmen of all de-
scriptions have to pay higher prices for
fuel.-World.

The country, as whole, was never

supported assertions of the participants
in a political debate. Members of Con-
gress will do well to observe this state

The Nations Loss of Blood.

The treasury statement for December
shows that the Government collected
from the people last month surplus
# about S15,OO0,0O0. This enormous
sum is needlessly taken from the people
Of this country in one month. Imagin-
alton fails to trace the yearly waste at
his rate. No other people on the face
# the earth could endure such loss of
olood-for wealth is the blood that cir
culates through the veins and arteries
of trade-without perishing from sheer
weakness. 1t is because this country
IS the strongest on the globe, because
its vital resources far exceed those of
any other nation, that it is able to bear
ND under this loss after fashion. Ii
the boarding of this surplus is contin-
ued and aggraved from month to month,
there can be but one result-paralysis

present schedule of basis prices for
wages and contracts per cent. from
Sept. l, 1887, for four months. or until

to terminate January l, 1888. If a
settlement is made with the other COM
panies before that time the Pennsyl-

pany is to adopt whatever advance in
basis rates is agreed upon by all the
other companies; or in the case no
agreement is reached by January /, or
the men return to work at the former
rates, then in that case the Pennsyl-
