Export Trade of France.

Statistics recently prepared show that
there was decline in the value O.. French
exports during the past twelve years.
amounting to no less than e7,5OG,0OC. The
wooden exports, which in 1882 were valued
at ED, o00,0 900, fell to el5, 000,C00 in 1856 and
scarcely exceeded el2, 900, 600 in 1855. Silks
declined from e1O, 1860, 900 in 1857 to IS. 92o,
600 in 1855; and linens, which had an ex-
port value of 81, 600 in 1877. scarcely
yielded e320, 600 in 1888. There was also
considerable decrease last year in the ex-
ports OF turnery, leatherware, refined
sugar, articles Of fashion and gold and
silverware. Taking the countries to which
exports were sent, there was no material
change as regards Portugal austria,
China and British America, while the ex-
ports to Belgium, the United States. New
Grenada, Spain, the Argentine Republic,
and a few minor states exhibited a total
improvement Of e9, 10000 during the past
twelve years. But this gain was more
than counterbalanced by decrease of up
wards of elS,000000 in the value of the ex-
ports to all other countries. The exports
to Great Britain fell from $40 ,O00, coo IN
1877 to GA, 100000 in 1888; those to Ger
many decreased in the same interval from
Sl5,000,000 to el2,00O,0 600, and those to Italy
went down from "a, 100000.

LIBERAL REPUBLICANIsM.
To the Editor of THE HERALD


AS stranger in this city I have been
somewhat amused at the frequent political
displays of the so-called Liberals-wbo, |
suppose, are Republicans-preachi the
doctrine of protection, glorying in high
tariff, supporting and upholding monopo-
lies, trusts, rings and the vested interests
of the capitalists as against the interests of
the community. These Liberals, sir, are
the Tories of America. l see but little diff
ference between them and the aristocratic
Tories of England.
1t is a general thing that when English
workingmen leave their land to seek new
home in the new world, they come imbued
with principles of liberty, with concep-
tlons OF enlightenment and free govern
ment.
l wish you to understand that [ am no
Mormon; That | am not even writing on
their behalf l am simply Democrat, and
ever ready to uphold the principles of
Democracy against the self-styled Liberal
who is undoubtedly guilty of political
trickery in denouncing the Mormons be-
cause they voted the Democratic ticket in
supporting Cleveland. They are undoubt-
edly trying to make political capital out of
the Mormon creed. But there are Demo
Gratis who are not Mormons, and are not
going to be fooled by those Libera[Ameri-
can Tories to vote against the interests OF
the Democratic community.
Those political moralists resort to the
same lodges in the south as they do in the
west. They denounce the southerners as
upholders of slavery and supporters of
English free trade
These Liberal Republicans fail to see
that free trade is in the interests of the
majority, instead OF in the interests of the
speculative minority, such as rings, trusts
and combines. A DEMOCRAT.

THIS was tie query put to yeral Of our
representative wholesale and retail dealers

widely at variance.

as he was concerned, was nil. If there was
any effect at all, it was for the better

they saw slight tendency to dulness, but
it was not at all marked, and business gen

the year.

said: ''Well, yes, we believe that trade is
demoralized to some extent; it is natural
that such should be the case here, as it is

in New York, the tone of the market is
rather depressed. Several lots of lead
were sold at low prices during the week.
but is generally understood that these are
part of the old holdings. The present is
the dullest time for manufacturers.
In st. Louis, the lead market is in statu
quo. Buyers are still content to buy from
hand to mouth, and do not appear to be
alarmed about an advance in the near
future.
In Chicago, the activity of a week ago
has given place to quietness, but prices
show very little, if any, change.
In Salt Lake, lead opened on Monday at
$3.50, and closed last evening at 1886.
