And still X grows,

From the Financial Chronicle (non- partisan)
Taken altogether the past year
stands as the most striking in the
history of the foreign trade of the
United States. 1t is really remark
able in how many different ways
the year is distinguished beyond all
other years and takes first rank.
The Bureau of Statistic has this
week furnished the statement for
December and the twelve months,
and by comparing it with the state
ments for the year preceding we
discover number of very promi-
nent characteristics. To cite only
the most important of these we find I:
First.-That we exported more
wheat and -four than ever before in
any period Of twelve months.
Second.-That we also exported
more cotton than in any previous
year.
Third. That our total merchan.
disc exports have never been equal
ed.
Fourth. That our imports have
likeM Use been uneXcelled.
Fifth.--That the total trade Gm-
ports and exports combined) is far
in excess of that of any other year.
October was the first month to
break the record, with exports of
S1o2, S47,249. This was followed in
November by still better results,
namely, total of $llO,l03,537, and
now for December, as stated, we
have an aggregate but a trifle be-
low $l2O,OOO,OOO.

Born in humble station and be-

Surgeons village preaching soon
became better known than the SER
mons of the deans and canons of the
established church. While the
squires and their retainers faced
scant audiences in the parish pews,
multitudes focked to the humble

country barn the young evangelist
was summoned to London. There
he has continued to preach for near

produce, which of necessity would
be sufficiently low to under-sell the
rest Of the world at any price. Not
till this point was reached could we
pay tor our increased imports in do
mestie products. The cheap cereals
and cotton ofMr. Gladstone's dreams
would then be a reality. What we
had to sell would bring next to moth
ing, ard our poverty would soon pre-
vent osr buying even at the lowest
conceivable price. Itis|iudeed very
strange that any intelligent Ameri.
can, yang or old, should be lured
by this prospect to the shrine of the
free trade goddess.

The settlement Of the Chilian con-
troversy should not interfere with the
passage of the bill of Representative
Herbert, of Alabama, providing for
the repeal OF the statute which pro-
hibits the appointment to the rank Of
commissioned officers, in either the
army or navy, Of any person who
had been engaged in service of the
Confederacy. Whatever justifca-
ton may have once existed for the
measure, none exists now. In the
recent crises the Southern newspa-
pers were eutspoken in their support
of the administration in its resolve to
maintain the honor Of the nation. and
the great body of Southern members
of Congress showed that they placed
country above party. The TIMES
believes that in case of war with a
foreign power the men of the South
would stand shoulder to shoulder
with the men of the North and West
in the nations defense. We are
confident that in such an event
the only anmgonism between the
veterans and the sons of veterans of
Lee and of Grant would be the gem
erous rivalry as to which should do
and dare the most for the country
that is the common heritage ofus ali.
The law mentioned above is virtually
the last relic in the statue book of
the disabilities imposed on the South
by the civil war. 1t has existed too
long already. 1t is time to blot it
out. Mr.. Herbert's timely and pat
riotic measure should be passed with
out dissenting vote.

TIE report of Minister Charles E.
Smith to the State Department as to
the extent ard severity of the fam
inc that afllicts the Russian Empire
fully confirms the worst that has
been told of the most terrible vista
ton of the kind in modern times.
The peasantry are starving, and the
utmost efforts Of state and local au-
thorities have failed to supply AIDE
quate sustenance. Meantime nearly
three million pounds of -four, con-
tributed by charitable people in the
United States, is awaiting transport
tation to the famine strickened Rus
SLAMS. Public opinion in the United
States was behind the billintroducsti
in Congress to secure the transpor-
tation Of this urgently needed food
to Russia. But certain picayune
Democratic statesmen /" of the
House.. of Representatives in the de-
sire to gain a cheap reputation for
economy defeated the' proposal to
send vessel to Russia with relief
for the suffering people. The defeat
of the bill twas despicable act, and
the men who inspired it will incur
the merited burden of public con-
tempt.

FREE TRADE AND THE FARM.

EDITOR TIMES =
SIR am protectionist and have
large acquaintance ofyoung men
who vote next year. A free trader
is plying them with the following ar
gument, which | wish to have an
swered: ahs
That if free trade is introduced
gradually, of course, many, POSSIBLY
very many American industries
would be Swamped because of Amer
lean inability to compete. We will
then import of these English COM
modities the amount of the Aperi-
can commodities swamped, to sup
ply the market. Now we have to
pay England for these imports.
New industries will spring up for
which we are adapted by nature, to
pay for these goods, and the Ameri-
can will receive good wages because
England can't compete with these,
and the advantage Of the cheaper ar
ticle as well. AS regards payment,
gold would not 90 forever, because
we can't be drained of our gold. "A
READER.
The free trader in question has
stated crudely an old, threadbare
free trade theory. Intelligent free
traders would hardly accept his YER
sion of it. They agree with him in
holding that domestic products would
have to go out to pay for the food
that would come in under this poll
cy. But few of them would risk
their reputation for sanity by con-
tending that any new industry Of
Importance would start into life be-
cause of unrestricted foreign compe-
tition. Mr.. Gladstone more accu-
rately defined their position when he
argued that Americans should stop
making cloth and iron and produce
instead "more cereals and more cloth
at low prices"
This is the real animus of free
trade. 1t would narrow the lines of
industry by "swamping" hundreds
Of industries for the purpose of max
ing us farmers. Agriculture is con-
stantly in the mind of the cobdenite
when he pirates about the lines of
production which nature especially
adapted the United States,
Would we be happier or more
prosperous as people with agricul-
ture our universal and almost exclu-
sive occupation? For the past sew
en- or eight years the farmers of this
country have suffered from the effects
of over production, What would be
the condition Of things when the
hundreds of thousands employed in
the industries swamped by free trade
had been transformed from consul
mcrs to producers
1t is true that we could not al
ways continue to export gold in pay
ment for the flood of goods free trade
would at first bring hither. We
could do so for time, just as a
strong man could lose small quanti-
ties of blood daily without injury at
first. But an end must come. Soon
the man would feel the fatal drain
and his power of action would desert
him. So gold, the life blood of CON-
merce, would go from US until mon
ey became tight, credits were dis
turbed, and another crash like that
of 1887 or 1857 came. A new plane
of,values would be then established
on the auction block for American
