The great facts established by the CEN
sus are these:
First-The negro population is practi-
cally confined TO the old slave terri
tory, and shows little inclination toward
a general distribution. The race problem
must be dealt with on the basis of this
fact.
Second-The rate of increase of the
negro is below that of the whites, even
in the most favorable conditions. 1t is
considerably less than half the percent
age of increase maintained by the whole
population. This low rate of increase
is not explained by immigration from
abroad. In South Carolina and Mis-
sissippi there are fewer foreign-born
whites than in 1890; and IN Alabama and
Georgia the increase in this element does
not aggregate $4,000. Only in Texas -
it considerable; there 1t reaches about
g, 900.
Third-The tendency of the black pop
ulation is southwark, or sOuthwestw2Td,
Snd not northward from the border
states

FOREIGN TRADE.

month last year tho excess was more thah

Se5. 600. 900 Part Of the difference Is due to
The fact that imports this year have been I'M
usually large, amounting in October to 9'9'-
09S.I62, over S12,O00.000 more than last
year But the greatest change is duo 10 the

which havo materially declined in price. TX

this year than in the same month last year, ana
i'm the minor exports lituo decrease appeared.
The great change was in the two items men
toned in cotton a decrease Of SI2,7t7,1is
and In broadstufls n decrease Of Sl,727,91O.
When it is considered that last years cY-
ports Of these two classes were remarkably
largo. and that export, OF brcadstuiIs this year.
notwithstanding the considerable decline in
comparison with last year, have been Tar above
tho average in previous years the fact may
be appreciated that the official returns for the
month Of October by no means indicate dc
clinine foreign demand for American products
On the contrary. in nearly all articles or classes
Of importance the exports this year have been
Greater than usual, and in most cases greater
than cvcr before. But the extraordinary over
production Of wheat and Of cotton in the year
1891 SO oycrcroWded the market, of the world
with American products that tho prices this
year have been exceptionally low and tho for
oigu douand has also materially diminished in
quantities Il is an altogether encouraging
fact that in all other exports taken together.
and in the principal classes OF exports. the de-
mand abroad has been 81 well maintained. In
cattle the increase compared with last year X
moro than 100000; in provisions moro than
5000 600 and in petroleum more than 500

increase also appears.
The Official report shows net imports Of gold
amounting 10 S2,G34.OsO in the month Of
October. and also net imports Of silver amount
ing 10 39fj.74S, though exports have been
greater than import, Of that metal in every
other month since July, 1891. Apparently the
continuing government demand for silver in

by the ,hrinkagc of the foreign demand. since
the month Of October closed there has been such
a change in foreign money markets and in
the rate Of foreign exchange that, instead of
further imports of gold some exports have been

prevailing impression has been that such an
outgo may for time be aycrtcd.

any imputation upon his devotion TO his friends

however. that instead of suffering any harm
from THE TErBuNE's mistake he has, with the
genius OF born strategist, wrcstcd out OF IT
\ great opportunity. For it furnished him the
OCCASION as we have since learned, for making
an early call upon the PrcSdcn-clect on Mon
dav morning at which he not only corrected
the misstatcmcnt but enjoyed the privilege Of
a pleasant half hour at the Cleveland resi-
denco" in which it may readily be supposed
that he made himself solid with the next Ad-
ministration.
1t gave him also the opportunity OF whio h
he availcd himself with great asSiduity during
the day, Of setting himself right before the
entire American People through the instui-
mentality of the press, to the representatives
Of which he gave copiouS interviews on the

reading Of the offensive paragraph, even be-
fore Mr. Harrison had entered upon his ex-
PLANTATION, drew from Mr.. Cleveland whose
sympathetic nature seems TO hayc been power
fully moved by it, the remark: 1t is an
outrage; an oulragc." Said it twice and ap-
parcntly with deep feeling which must have
greatly encouraged the Chicago statesman. who
