Such a Large Adverse Balance,

let me tell you. We lost SAL ,000,00 in
Cuba, from which our imports We're S52,-
000,000 and our exports only 81 900, 900.
In the republic of Brazil we lost $751;
100000. Our imports from Brazil We're
10000, 900; our exports to Brazil were
S9,000,G00. In Mexico we lost S10,000,-
600. Imports from Mexico were S21,-
100000. Our exports to Mexico were
S11 100000. To sum it all up, our i'm
ports from countries south of us, both
insular and continental, on this hemis-
phere, were S216, 900, 900; our exports to
them were S74,000,000. the balance
against us is our trade with them, there
fore is Sl42, 100000, exceeding our gains
from all the rest of the world by S13,-
100000. By no figure of speech can we
fatter ourselves into the belief that our
trade with our American neighbors is
in prosperous condition. How can
this state of affairs be remedied. You
have heard great deal said within the
past ten years by our Democratic friends
about the inquality of the Republican
party keeping up the war tariff. As a
matter of fact
The War Tariff Has Not Been Kept,
but has been amended over and over
again and until the revision of 1888 left
scarcely trace of the actual tariff that

PUT ON THE BRAKES

If you find you are going down hill in
point of health; failing strength, impair
ed digestion and assimilation are the
marks of decline; check these and other
indications of premature decay with the
grand vitalizer and restraining tonic,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Beginning
at the fountain head-the stomach-the
Bitters remedies the inefiiciency, corrects
its errors, and sets it vigorously at work;
the digestive organ is thus enabled to
thoroughly separate from the food its
nutritive principles, which the blood as
similating, is enriched; thus is the system
nourished, and being nourished strength
ened, and abnormal waste of its tissues
stayed. Appetite, the power to rest well,
a regular habit are also re-established,
and the various functions move once
more in their natural and healthful
groove; the Bitters, moreover, is specific
for and preventive of malarial complaints,
rheumatism, biliousness and kidney
troubles. 9-4-4t

IT is hoped the County Fair will BIOS
som out with something of its old-time
glory to-day and tomorrow. Much
more interest in its we'll being is exhib-
tied than in recent years, and hopes are
entertained that this years exhibition
will result in putting the society in bet
ter condition than it has been for sever
al years past.
There has been well grounded cause
for complaint at the management in re-
cent years, but it is gratifying to know
that the indications are that it will be
bettered. An enterprise of this kind
can not afford to depend upon any one
attraction. Races, properly conducted,
are all right; but when accompanied
with gambling, or when they freeze out
everything else, are all wrong. Draft
horses, carriage and saddle horses, cat
tie, sheep, swine, poultry the products
of farms and gardens and orchards and
the handiwork of the women are all es-
sential to the success of the fair. Be
cause all these latter have been shame
fully neglected, the majority of the peo-
pie became Indifferent When they are
fairly treated all will take renewed in

A Benevolent Singer.

The principal singer of the great theatre
at Lyons one day observed a poor woman,
with her four children, begging in the
street. Her decent and respectful" appear
ance, in the midst Of extreme poverty, in
terested the kind hearted vocalist. He de-
sired the poor woman to follow him into
the Place Bellour, where, placing himself
In a corner with his back to the wall, his
head covered with his handkerchief and
his hat at his feet, he began to sing his
most favorite opera airs. The beauty Of
his voice drew . crowd round; the idea Of
some mystery stimulated the bystanders,
and five franc pieces fell in showers into
the hat.
When the singer, who had thus In the
goodness Of his heart transformed himself
into q street minstrel, thought he had
enough, he took up the hat, emptied its
contents into tho apron Of the poor woman,
who stood m%otionless with amazement and
happiness, and disappeared among the
crowd. His talent, however. betrayed him,
though his face was concealed; the story
spread, and the next evening when he ap-
peared on the stage shouts of applause
from all parts of the house proved that a
good action is never thrown away.-New
York Ledger.

UNSETTLED and fuctuating prices al
ways attend the modification of the tariff
and the manufacturers and middlemen
are just now reaping temporary benefit
through the ignorance and inability of
the consumer to help himself. Mer.
chants are marking up the prices of their
goods regardless of the tariff. They see
ar opportunity to make a few extra dol
lars and they are going to do it. They
are marking articles up which the tariff
bill doesn't affect at all, but it will not
last. The market will soon be glutted
and the prices will take a tumble. Dem.
ocratic politicians see an opportunity in
this condition of affairs to work upon the
incredulity of the people and are working
it for all there is in it. The consumer will
o discover how he is being duped,
however, and rivalry for trade will effect
a speedy decline from fictitious prices.

A Florists COMPLAINT.


"The business looks pretty and smells
sweet, but it is a hard one to rum" said q
Harlem florist to a friend who praised the
punches of gladiolus, tuberoses and other
autumn flowers that filed his windows,
and who added, by way of a moral, that it
was a much pleasanter way of making a
living than selling beefsteak or dishing up
dry goods. Thus the florist took up his
parable again and continues: ut is the
cash that makes the trouble. Chance buy
ers and people who live in fats pay ready
money for all they have, but those who
own their houses want unlimited credit.
One spring I made over a hundred gardens
for them. Their families went to the coun-
try, and l have not been able to collect my
bill from one in ten.
"As for weddings, there was n wealthy
man in this street who filled his house
with flowers when his daughter wa mar
ried, and wanted everything Of the best.
The bride stood under a bell Of camellias,
and roses were banked up everywhere, re-
CARELESS Of expense, but when I presented
my bill at the end of six months he or
dered me out of the house for my pre-
sumption. 1t is nearly a year since I
filled the order, and 1 expect there'll be a
birth and a funeral in the house before l
get my money. That is what makes me
tired of flowers, and I am thinking of sell
ing out and going into something not
quite so pretty-stoves, for instance"
Then the florist, who had snapped a five
cent rose off it's stem in his wrath, fastened
it on with a bit of wire, making it look as
good as new, and sold it to an ~unsuspicious
dude for a quarter.-New York Sun.

COLONEL BENTON makes a very plaus-
ible argument in favor of free trade, but
when he said a man-like Sam Randall
should represent the interests of his con-
stituents, and that was what Sam Ran
dali did-he spoiled all his argument in
favor Of free trade. He admitted that
Sam Randall honestly represented the
interests of his constituents. That was
protection; yet in the next breath Col
onel Benton argues that free trade is
what would benefit the people. What
people? Not all the people certainly,
and what concerns one concerns all in
this common United States between
which tariff is free. The American la
borer is the best of American
products. He always will be if he is
paid we'll. Only 4 per cent. of the wheat
and less than 10 per cent. of all agricul-
tural products raised in the United
States are exported. The balance is con
sumed at home by laborers, who turn
their earnings back into the channels of
trade in this country-not in Europe.

In reviewing the tariff bill the Irish
World says: The new tariff puts on the
free list a larger proportion of our i'm
%portation than did any of it's predeces-
sors. Under tue tariff of 1883 about one
third Of them came in free of duty.
Under that just enacted nearly one-half
of them will do SO. But the goods thus
favored are those we are not able to pro-
duce for ourselves, and therefore such as
come under the head of natural and in
~dispensable commerce. They mostly
come to us along the meridians of long
itude, and not the parallels of latitude.
They come to us chiefly from countries
of a different climate from our own, and
not from the countries which have the
same climate. The tariff will tend to
foster the consumption of such articles
by ~cheapening them, while it will also
tend to increase the demand for labor by
checking the Importation of those COM
modities which are capable of being
made a1 home. It thus favors the con-
sumner and the producer at the same
time. 1t puts O money into the
pockets of the worker, and it makes
money go farther in his purchases.

NORTH DAKOTA'S CENSUS,

The census bureau gave out the foot
ings for North Dakota Saturday. The
state shows the most remarkable growth
of any in the union, the percentage of in
crease since 1880 being 1926. Next to
North Dakota comes Washington with
an increase of 300 per cent. AS will be
seen by the following table, almost half
the counties had no population ten years
ago. The percentage Of gain seems to be
about equally distributed over the state.
The TRIBUNE does not desire to be
classed as a kicker and it fears no such
charge when it declares that the census
of North Dakota was by no means thor
ough. 1t is the almost universal belief
that the state has nearer 225,OO0 than
1S2,425, the figures turned in by Census
Supervisor Dodds. The cities of Grand
Forks and Fargo certainly have more
people than they are credited with. A
conservative estimate based upon the
school and directory census would give
these cities fully one-quarter more peo-
Fle than Mr.. Dodds' very inefficient and
poorly paid deputies found. TO the poor
pay, possibly, may be attributed the care
lessness that deprives the prosperous Cit
les of North Dakota of their proper
standing in the census column. The fol-
lowing is the showing by counties:

FIGURES THAT TELL THEIR OWN

board of county commissioners during
the months of April. May, June, July,

Healy administration in six months.
The disbursements of the so-called

difference of $13,615.94 in favor of the

some Of the members of the former i'm

Figures are hard facts; you can't get
around them.
1t is a saving of So in taxes to every
man, woman and child in the county.
If a plain, ordinary trump board has
effected a saving of over thirteen thou
sand dollarin six months, what could it
have saved had the affairs of the county
been placed in like hands years ago..
Reformers have proven an expensive
luxury to the citizens of this county, and
it is about time for the voter to eye these
howlers. for reform with suspicion and
cast his ballots for mon who make less
pretensions to fear of the Lord and ex-
hibit more consideration for the affairs
the people entrusted to their care.
The TRIBUNE wished to see Judge
Edgerley his own successor, because he
has been a conscientious, watchful Off
Ger, ever on the alert to protect the coun-
TVS interests, but the nominating con-
ventions have seen fit to select others to
assist in conducting the affairs of the
county, and if the successful candidate
proves true to the trust reposed in him,
the people will have no kick coming. The
judge will retire from office with the
esteem of his constituents and the knowl-
edge that he has been fair and honest to
himself. Messrs. Moorhouse and John
son. the appointees, who have been
equally efficient and watchful of the coun-
tvs interests, remain on the board, and
so long as they remain the taxpayers of
this county will have confidence in the

The Canadian papers are kicking on the
new tariff bill. Why shouldn't they? It
practically shuts out the products of that
country and forces the purchase of thou
sands of bushels of barley and
potatoes and millions of dozens
of eggs in this country that
have been formerly obtained across the
line. That's where the new tariff bill
benefits the North Dakota farmer, and if
he is benefited, of course he cannot OBJ
ject to the laborer in the eastern manu-
factory being benefited at the same time.
The North Dakota farmer, if he can get
good prices for his produce, will not OBJ
ject to paying more for what he wears
Sugar, after April LIST next, will be much
cheaper than now-the saving to North
Dakota alone being estimated at $780,
600. 1t will be some time-several
months before the beneficial effects of
the new tariff bill will be felt. In the
meantime, spectators and dealers in all
kinds of merchandise will take advan-
tage of the unsettled condition of affairs
and for a few months hundreds of arti-
cles will be marked up, on which there is
no additional tariff whatever. The addi-
tional tariff on woolens is just in pro-
portion to the increase in the duty on
wool.
Hereafter the North Dakota farmer
will have just five cents a dozen on eggs
the advantage of his Canadian neighbor;
horses, $50 per head: cattle, $40 per
head; hogs, $3.50 per head; sheep, $3.50
per head; and IS cents when under one
year old; barley, 80 cents per bushel;
corn, Is cents per bushel; cornmeal, %
cents per bushel; oats, Is cents; Oatmeal
