The free trader doubtless reads the
Wheeling Register and had in mind
Great Britain's immense foreign COM
merce, all that she sells to foreign coun-
tries and all that she buys from them.
This trade in 1890 amounted to 300
millions OF dollars. The foreign trade
OF the United States in the same year
was 1000 million dollars.
Ii foreign trade, without regard to
what it is and whence it comes, be the
true measure OF nations CONNER
cial greatness, then the United States
along with the rest OF tho world must
bow to Great Britain. FREQ traders in
sist, although with all their ingenuity
they have never been able to prove,
that this is the true measure.
In 1890 Great Britain bought from
from foreign countries about 400 mil
lion dollars worth moro than she sold
to them; the United States sold 60 mil
lion dollars worth more than it bought.
Great Britain had to send money abroad
to pay the balance; the United States
received money i'll payment OF the bal
ance due.
In the enormous total OF Great Brit
aims commerceis staggering item OF
700 million dollars ior foreign iood-food
which she cannot produce, which she
must have and which she must buy
abroad. 1t seems travosty to speak OF
The commercial greatness of a nation SO
greatly dependent that it must go
abroad to find so large part OF the
food for its people. Tho United States
feeds its people from its own soil and
has some TO spare. 5Ez
Under the Mckinley act tho balance
OF trade in favor OF the United States
has been more than twice as largo as it
was in 1900, but tho British returns for
the corresponding period are not at
hand to allow comparison, which would
be still moro il our favor. Obviously
tho commercial greatness OF a nation
cannotbo measured solely by its foreign
trade, however largo or profitable that
may be. ~
1t is estimated that the value OF the
domestic exchanges OF the United States
representing al area OF absolute free
trade nearly as large as continental
Europe and having n population oi G5
millions lis twenty-five times as large rs
all tho imports and exports combined,
This will not seem ut all improbable
when it is remembered that i'll 1890 the
value OF products carried by tho rail
roads OF the United States was 1900
million dollars, and more than nine,
tenths OF all that was carried was con
! sumed Mt home. This was more freight

We've Got En- Out!

The following from the Putnam Demo
crat is worth rcprinting for the sake OF
OF a point it suggests:
Gov. Fleming, in an interview last week with
Washington correspondent. showed his weak
clnins West Virginia rs doubtful state and
says the colored, or negro. immigration to vnri
GUS sections iavors tho Republican party Grant
cd The immigration will not exceed the votes
It changes TO Democratic colorS. and I'LL along
the Great kanawhn valley Democrats are juhilant
ana feel safe over the coming election, We can
not understand why SO able ngentlclna,l MS Gov
Fleming is SO far hind the times. West Viz
ginla gave Democratic majority Of nearly 500
In lSyO, and since that time Democratic prospects
have frightened day after day. Gov. Fleming
Is too easily scared.
All OF which goes to show that Gov
ernor Fleming is u better politician
than the editor OF the Democrat-unlcss
it be true that he was not correctly re-
ported, as to which their seems to be a
difference OF opinion.
Any one with half an eye ought to be
able to see that the governors inter
view does not show that he is "scared,"
but that he desires to scare the ma.
tional Democratic committee and the
rank and file OF the Democratic party in
West Virginia into getting to'work to
save the state, and at the same time no
hopes TO inspire unthinking Republi-
cans with over-conidcnce. ..@
That is the governors little scheme
and the INTEILIGENcEE, does not intond
to lot it go unnoticed. The ISrELL1GES-
GER believes this year is going to witness
political revolution in the state and
that West Virginia will, ii Republicans
do their duty, break away from the
Democratic solid south, but it does not
expect that this will be done by brag
and buster. 1t will be done by earnest
legitimate work.
Republicans must not allow them
selves to ibe deceived by hypocritical
concessions on the part Of Democratic
leaders. Over-contidence has wrecked
many party. Organization and worl,
are tho only, things that insure victory.
We have the votes Gct,5 them out.
This must and will be an aggressive
campaign.
