BALANCE OF TRADE.


A balance of trade in our favor
means balance of profit in the
pockets of our people.
1t means that we are creditors
instead of debtors, that foreign ma.
tons owe us money or goods in
stead of our country being in debt
to foreign nations.
Free-Trade professors pre-
tend to sneer at balance of trade
and say it represents no wealth.
Yet those Free-Trade "profess-
ors' would far rather sell their text
books to English students and get
back good British gold in return
than use up their salaries in buying
English books without selling any
thing of their own.
a balance of trade is an index of
a country's business. of its pur-
chases and sales, of its profits and
losses.
If it be profitable for an individ-
ual to sell more than he buys and
thus have balance of money-vir-
tually private balance of trade
in his favor, why is it not just as
profitable for a nation:
A balance of trade may be paid
in money, or in goods and services.
Either mode of payment inures to
the profit of the country in whose
favor the balance exists.
If the payment be in goods or
services, then the debtor nation
must bestir itself to send these
goods, whether of its own or for
eign production, or perform these
services. AS a consequence, we
get more goods for less money than
We would get We're there no favora-
BILE balance.
The beneficial effect of payment

The lively interest and COMPETE
ton shown in the nomination of Re-
publican candidates for Congress all

publicans are determined to carry
Congress with the Presidency this

business.

ENGLISH newspapers think the
Homestead troubles are due to the

''In 1864 myself and Stevenson,
with others, were drafted. Mr..
Stevenson hired man to 20 to the
front in his place, and there was
also man sent in my place. see
that Mr.. Stevenson says he was in
the army thiteen days. Well l
think | can explain that record.
When the draft was made Stew
enson was appointed by the disloy-
al people to go to Springfield to see
that the drawing was fairly done;
he made some objections to the
manner in which the drawing was
done, when the officer said for him
to get upon the box and be blind
folded and see if he could do any
better. Stevenson mounted the
box, and, so the story was told, the
first two names he pulled ont of the
box were my own and his. He was
then satisfied, and let the drawing
go on. At that time he spent some
ten of fifteen days in Springfield,
and that was the nearest he ever
was to the war" -Indianoplis

Money, it is true, is not consum-
able, it cannot be eaten or worn,
but it has far more important
function. Money is the life of
trade. Where money is plenty bus
mess is active and enterprise awake.
Where money is eight industry
stagnates.
So our country should welcome
a favorable balance of trade, and it
should welcome the American pol
icy of Protection, the only policy
that has given us a favorable bal
ance in the past or will give it in
the future.

Tariff Notes.

Any of our competitive vocations,
from which alien competition has
been excluded by the operation of
protective tariff laws, may attract
volume of domestic competition,
the vigor of which may be in excess
of that of the alien competition
that had been excluded.
This increase of domestic pro-
ductive energy would naturally
tend to reduce the price of the ar
ticle in question in our markets.
Our producers, however, will read
lily so adjust themselves to the
various vocations as to procure a
desirable uniformity in the supply
of their several products whenever
the disturbing element of alien COM
petition is thus removed.
To secure the removal of this
disturbing element, the producers
will vote for protection.
1t is desirable that the prices of
all of our domestic products should
remain high, to the end that the
power of labor to purchase money
might be, to the greatest possible
degree, enhanced: and that the
power of money to purchase labor
might be correspondingly dimin-
ished, and that the least possible
volume of labor might be required
for the payment of given debt, or
for the payment Of all debt.
In the nature of things, non
producer can not be said to be
self-supporting, The producers
must not only support the non
producers, but they must also pay
all debts. They can, therefore.
afford to tolerate no augmentation
of this burden through an encoun-
ter with foreign competition that is
sought to be thrust upon them by
designing, INSCRIPTIONS, non-pro-
ducing politicians. The producers
will see that they are protected
from such assaults.
The cost of transportation is
tax or fine that is levied on the
producer and the consumer as
penalty for living apart. Other
conditions being equal, the less re-
mote they are from each other the
more will their mutual interests be
subserved.
Our railway magnates are con-
tinually engaged in collecting this
tax, and are rapidly becoming mil
lionaires.
Our free-trade statesmen (?) are
engaged in an insanely persistent
effort to increase the burdens of
our already over-burdened produc-
ers by levying upon them trans
Atlantic transportation tax. while

If an article of importation can
be produced in our country, and if
any of our people have no means
of self-support, except as they are
engaged in producing this article,
then We should prevent its impor-
tation and confine ourselves to the
use of the article that is produced
by our own citizens. Our own
people are, by virtue of their citi
zenship, entitled toprecedence over
the foreigner in securing this en-
ployment and the consequent live
lihood. For, as the Government
may place the life of the citizen in
jeopardy in time of war, it should,
in time of peace, give its citizens the
employment necessary to maintain
that life, rather than give it to an
alien. Otherwise the Government
is disloyal to itself.

at the same time, they are schem-
ing to deprive us of the employ
ment that is not only our sole means
of paying the tax, but is our only
reliance for procuring subsistence.
The question is: will the produc-
ers permit themselves to be deceived
by the grotesquely absurd sophis-
tries of these self-styled statesman?
The cheaper any domestic pro-
duct may be in our markets, the
less will be the earnings of both the
labor and the capital engaged in
its production, and the less money
will the producers of this article
have with which to purchase the
products of other vocations.
The cheapening of any domestic
product must, therefore, tend to
the cheapening of all other domes-
tic products, and, consequently, to
the financial injury of all domestic
producers.
All of our producers will, there
fore, promote their own personal
interests by voting for the enact
ment of such tariff laws as will pro-
tect our own people from any com
petition with foreign producers.
