MYSTERIOUS TRIO.
Traced From Their Home To This
City.

IraCeu from Their Home To This
City.
Day before yesterday, at Moore
station, on the International railway,
the IA year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. VIM. Allen disappeared myste-
riously. A bout the same time young
man named Jim Cox, and a married
woman and her little boy, named
johnson, also disappeared. Search
parties were sent out in all direc
tions, but nothing was learned
OF them until yesterday, when
II. L. Johnson and party of
three ladies happened to arrive
from Moore station. Mr.. Johnson saw
Deputy Sheriff Jim McClusky, who
had been notified by wire, and
learned that the parties had arrived
in this city together. They stopped
the first night at boarding house on
West Commerce street. Yesterday
Cox and Miss Allen went to board.
ing house on North Flores street,
and last evening stopped at a
boarding house on government
bill, near Olive street. Mrs.
johnson stayed yesterday at the
house on West Commerce street, but
this morning left her baggage and
went to visit friends out near Pros
pect Hill. All trace of the man Cox
and the girl have been lost, although
diligent search was made for them
last night. The girls parents will
arrive this afternoon to prosecute the
searcH. Cox is married man
The strange action OF the parties In
leaving home so suddenly Is unac-
countable, and until the matter
thoroughly develops, it is hard to say
what the causes of their sudden de-
psrture and frequent change OF resi-
dence may mean.

THE PULSE OF THE PRESS

affect the other. We must have good,

dard of wages.-American Economist.
The suffrage change in the constitution
has not made Rhode Island so democratic
as was predicted by some and the State
cannot yet be classed with surety as
democratic, as the plurality figures of the
last four years will show In 1889 the
democratic plurality was 4.419; in 1890 it
dropped To ,56O; in 1871 It was down to
1.254, and i'm 1892 the Republicans have a
plurality of 2.037. From this it would
seem that the democratic administrations
have not been wholly satisfactory to the
voters. s.-Narragansett Times

PUBLIC DEBT.

A good idea of the prosperity which
has blessed the United States during
the past ten years is furnished by the
Census Bulletin, No. 176, on National,
Local and State Indebtedness, which
brings before the eye the public debt of
every sort in convenient form for imme-
date grasping.
The national debt has in ten years de-
creased from 81 ,922, ,517, 1854 to $s91, $780,
104 a decrease of 81 ,030, ,557 ,260, or over
one-half. A better idea of this stupendous
achievement is afforded by the fact that
the per capita debt was in 1880 $3S. .33,
and in 1890 only S1424. Meanwhile, of
course, the national debts Of foreign
countries had been steadily though not
so rapidly increasing, reaching in 1890
the inconceivably vast total Of $26, ,621,-
222, 1876. This is a sum too large for COM
prehension or understanding, and it
must include the debts Of great many
countries which can never pay in full.
Similar fears were once expressed about
tIc " illtcl DltttSs 4NOW Jul SalO
need be to avoid paying too N uch and
too rapidly.
Even as to the State, m unicipal, county
and school district debt the country has
made great advance, for while the sum
total is slightly larger now, the total per
capita has fallen from $22. 40 to 1913.
AS the average rate of interest on these
bonds has probably fallen from six or
seven to four, it would be fair to state
that the average burden of taxation inn
posed by interest payments on State and
local debts is not above half what it was
in 1880.
The process Of improvement is well
shown by this quotation of the exact
figures for the North Atlantic States, in
which, of course, we have most interest:

York is necessary that the Democrats
have resolved, and wisely, to nominate
Mr.. Cleveland. For in that case
Mr.. Hill would be placed upon
honor to do his best for the
ticket. Defeat in New York, upon
the heels of three Democratic successes
in State elections would be David B.
Hills political death-blow, as he controls
the party machinery of the State. Hill
will fight his fat rivals nomination as
long as there is the slightest chance for
himself. But when Cleveland is once
nominated he will, he must, do his
utmost for his election.

THE YEARS EXPORTS.

The report of the chief of the Bureau
of Statistics of our foreign commerce
for the twelve months ending March 81,
1892, must prove interesting reading for
the opponents of the Mckinley law.
Those rash gentlemen who have had SO
many impetuous remarks to make about
the disastrous results sure to follow
upon the building Of "Chinese walls I"
are respectfully requested to observe
that the value of this -conntry,s- exports
of merchandise during the month of
March was $S1 ,sl9,075. and for the same
month in 1891 it was $15 ,3l4, 1926, and i'm
1890, $72, ,625, ,922, so that there was an
excess in the exports of merchandise i'm
favor of March, 1892, over March, 1891.
of $6,604, ,749, and over March, 1890, of
$9,193,153.
The same gentlemen arc urged to note
further that the statement of the value
Of exports for the twelve months ending
March 81, 1892, shows an amount that
is unprecedented in the history of our
commerce, for it is the first time since
we became republic that the exports of
our country for twelve months have run
above the magnificent sum of one bill
lion dollars, the exact amount being
81 ,005, ,234 ,506. The value of our ex
ports for the corresponding twelve
months Of 1891 was $S72, ,00S, ,2S6 for
1890, $s92. .95s, ,403; for 1889, S723, 73s,-
52s, and for 1883, $69i, ,15s,sl5 IL will
be observed that the exports of twelve
months ending March 81, 1892, exceeded
those OF the corresponding twelve
months of the prior year by the large
sum of $134, ,276. 200, and exceed those
Of 1890 by $i63.336, lO3. and Of 1889 by
the sum Of s2s2, 2,545, ,9ss, and Of 1883 of
t3l2. le5 ,69i.
II ought to bring Joy to the hearts of
the nations well-wishers that notwith-
standing the new tariff, il that phrase
ology suits the tariffs enemies. the
growth OF our exports has been so pheno-
menal. increasing 1910 per cent. over
the previous year, while it appears from
English statistics that British exports
fell of Sc per cent. and show indications
Of sfill further decline. II ought 10

imports increased somewhat also. cln.

ing up to $s37, ,05s, ,5s5, against 1886. $780,
364 for the year 1891; and for the
twelve months ending March 81, 1890,
$767, 1884, $40.
The balance of trade, it will be OBJ
served, is largely in our favor, our ex-
ports during the last twelve months
exceeding the imports by the large
amount of $l69, 225, ,92l. This is not
quite the result our free trade friends
looked for. but if they study the figures
further they will be surprised and graft
fled to discover that there was a very
large increase in the imports Of free
merchandise. During the twelve
months ending March 81, 1892, the
value of merchandise imported free of
duty was $461 Arb 523 while the
value of dutiable merchandise
during the same period was
$375, ,5S5 ,062, so that free merchandise
was 55.13 per cent. of all the imports.
During the corresponding twelve months
of the prior year the value of the free
merchandise was 5000, ,26O, 500, while the
value of dutiable was $526, 1893, ,665; in
other words, the free of duty was only
37.0l per cent. of the whole, while the
dutiable was 81. 90 per cent. of the whole.
From beginning to end these figures
are instructive and will repay the most
careful study, but the calamity orator
can be trusted to torture and twist them
with the utmost ease and perversity into
misstatements and untruths of his usual
and familiar species.

Rhode Island shows the highest per
capita debt in this section, but the re-

1890, shows that i. is not more than we

is very small per capita. and has been
greatly reduced since 1880. IL is ex-
ceded in per capita size by those of
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,

1t is not to be supposed that the tin
plate liar is discouraged, for he is capable
of sustaining and even of enjoying life
under conditions that would prove coldly
and cruelty fatal to any other known
organism but if the tin plate liar We're
other than the stout and sturdy truth
destroyer that he is, he might be sup
posed to be discouraged by the telegraph
and cable news of yesterday and this
morning.
From Swansea comes word that
lowing to the depression in the British
tin plate trade, resulting from the work
ings of the Mckinley tariff" the owners
of number Of the largest tin plate fac
tories in Wales have perfected plans to
remove their factories to this country.
AS if this evidence were not sufficient
that the United States is to add to its in
dustries all and more than all the new
business aimed at by the tin plate
clauses Of the Mckinley bill, Demo
cratic and Mugwump editors enjoy to-
day the felicity of reading in their own
news columns dispatch from Baltimore
to the effect that on Saturday Coates &,
Co.'S tin plate mill began work with two
hundred and fifty men employed and an
anticipated output Of "from 1,5O0 to
/ 1900 boxes, averaging 10 pounds each,
a week."
All this is truly grievous, coming, as
it does, hard on the heels of the published
letter Of j. II. Rogers, chairman of the
Welsh Tin Plate Makers Association, adj
dressed to Thomas Phillips, general
secretary of the Tin Workers Union,
and warning the men engaged in the
finishing departments of that trade that
the growth of the industry in America
makes the question of "where or how
the tinmen and washInen are to obtain
work a matter of grave anxiety" No
one, thinks Mr.. Rogers, having knowl-
edge of machinery and of the timing of
black plates and 81 the ingenuity of our
American cousins can seriously doubt"
the success Of the industry on this side of
the water. 1--WE shall have to adopt"
he concludes, "all the most economical
processes or we shall not even be able to
hold our own in such markets as India,
Australia and China"
This might be supposed to be blow
to the sensibilities of the free trade
press, which so loudly proclaims that
there is no tin plate industry in this
country, and never will be, but, as be-
fore remarked, or as might with truth
have been before remarked, the free
trade press is deaf and blind to tin plate
truth, and complacently brazen in its
trumpeting of tin plate lies.
