nearly 200 per cent, and prOportlonately more
than those of the United States, while IN abb
solute yalne the British gain from 1891 10
1870 was S641,OOO,OOO and the gain OF the
United States was only $24O,OO0,O0O. These
facts must be met by any one who would con-
vince Americans that their National policy
which has been maintained in undlSturbed OPP
Grafton for twenty years, tends to restrict eA-
ports of their products.
But il is necessary to give attention 10 the
exceptional demand for American products IN
1880 and 1881, which resulted from the 1ail-
ure of crops abroad. The Free Traders are
fond of selecting these years for comparison,
and even the heavy exports OF the last hscai
wear. though exceeding those of any other eX-
cept one, fall short of the phenomenal eight
hundred and eighty-four millions OF 1881. In
that year exports Of breadstuffs were in value
two hundred and seventy millions, and during
the last year only one hundred and lity-four
millions But for that single difference the
value of exports in 1890 would have been
greater by seventy seven millions than in 1891.
Yet the decline in prices all over the world
must also be considered. From 1878 to 1880
the rise in prices was - per cent in treat
Britain and ! per cent mere, ana III oo'h 'V"h-
tries high average prices were maintained
through 1880 and 1891 This fact greatly
swclled the reported volume of exports in those
wears. The average of prices during the phe-
nomenal year 1881 was just l9.l per cent
higher than the average for the fiscal year re-
Gently closed. Had the products which were
actually exported during the last fiscal year
been valued at the prices of 1sSO-'S1, the
record would have been about one thousand
and seven millions in value, and the gain even
over that phenomenal year would have been
about / 1 per cent
Moreover the comparison between 1870 and
1890, if the difference in prices be considered
is even more remarkable. For the currency
in which American exports were valued in 1870
was much deprecated and the decline in aver
ace prices OF commodities since that year has
been AZ per cent. Had the products actually
sent from American ports during the last fiscal
wear been valued at the prices of lS60-7O they
would have been worth one thousand two hun
drcd and eight millions and the increase from
1870 to 1890 would have been 220 per cent,
under American Protection, against only %
por cent under British Free Trade.

One young member said he suspected that IL

This letter from the Doctor OF course satisfied

They had been fighting the pest ever since 10
appeared in Hudson, but with poor success. It

of them also added tin cuffs the larger lower
branches The idea was that in crawling up tha
trunk when it came to the tinware 1t would slip
back and return and starve TO death or eat grass
as il saw fit But after the Hudson tree owners
had spent considerable sum tin haberdashery
the crafty beetle raised up sort OF false pack
with which il was provided, unfolded some wings
which it had packed away, and flew rlgho up
into the tOpnost branches OF the em-trees wlth-
out, as il were, saying n word. 1t was now the
owners turn to despair. which they did, ana
wrote TO Dr. Lintner. The Doctor replied thau
the trees should be sprayed with London purple

not only walking but flying rs well, riding on
the roofs of northbound passenger cars, and so
forth. The elm is one Of our most beautiful shade
trees. and it must not fall victim to any insect
so long as it can be prevented. Residents Of the

REVIV1L or MARITIME PRESTIGE.

The recent cruise Of the WarshipS 70 Europe

the fleet in the Mediterranean have been wit

rons and much has been done to restore the

growing influence of the great Republic in the
modern world. When battered hulks Of an
other generation were sent abroad under the
National flag the practical etiacement of the
United States from the list Of naval Powers
was publicly proclaimed. Europe is now
aware OF the change of policy by which the
Nation will speedily be enabled to resume its
place among maritime Powers. The presence
of the fleet in Brazilian waters was a timely
and graceful act OF recognition OF the new
republic. American sympathy with the de-
velopment of democratic Institutions in that
great country has been expressed most Oppor-
timely and effectively The two nations have

An ELM TREE PEST AT HUDSON.

Whatever may be said against the insects which
prey on vegetation in this State il is certain that
they have been very quiet of late. Ever since
State EntomoloGist Lintncr pointed out thaa
millions Of them were being killed every niaht
by the electric lights il has seemed 10 discourage
item, and scarcely destructive bug has been re-
ported, though the peach crop has continued 10
fail week ago, however, there came cry
from Hudson that SOFT of beetle was de-
stroying the elm trees. Local entomoogists could
not classify it, The Hudson scientists were in
despair, not because Of the running Of the elm
trees but as true scientists, because they could
not tell the name Of the insect that was doing it,
At last they gave il up, and forwarded a specimen
beetle to DIR. Lintner in a pill-boX, tell
ing him that it preyed elm trees cX-
clusivcly aud asking what it was. The
next day letter was received from Albany, bear
ing the printed card of the chronological Office

PROTECTION AND EXPORTS.

1t is but a short time since the cry was raised
that domestic exports must decrease, and were
actually decreasing, III consequence of the un-
wise financial policy OF the Government. As
if on purpose 10 dispose of this complaint
there comes the annual report of foreign com
mcrce for the year ending June 30, which
shows that the value of domestic exports dur
ing that year was greater than in any other
year except one in the entire history of the
country. Leaving that single exception, the
year 1881, for separate consideration it may
first be noticed that no other important coun-
try in the world can boast aS great an increase,
either prOpOrtionately or in absolute amount
as this country has realized in exports of do
nestle products within the last twenty years.
From 1870 70 1890 Great Britain gained
S2S3, 900 900 in value of British exports, but
the United states gained S4GS, 100000. For
Great Britain the gain has been about 20 per
cont during "A period of twenty years for this
country the gain has been 1913 per cent. The
difference is more striking because during the
preceding twenty years British exports gained

The fact that indictments were found some
months ago against the Tammany Excise Com
missioners was recalled to public notice yester-
day by the appearance IN court of an array of
lawyers in tnelr behalf, and the presentation
of arguments on one of the minor points in
their defence The question that naturally
arises is: Why arc not these officials tried
without any more delay? The charge against
Messrs Meal;im, Koch and Fitzpatrick is that
of gross neglect of duty. If sustained, it will
demonstrate their nftneSs for the offices they
hold. If it cannot be proved, they ought to
be relieved of the odum attaching to their
situation. Is there any reason for further post
ponement of the trials?
