IT is striking fact that our ex.
ports to the very countries whose
products have been most eifectually
barred from ovr markets by protec-
tion have grown immensely-far more
than their exports to this country.
In 1860 all Europe sold US to the
value OF $2l6, $50, 900, and bought Of
US to the value Of 924l, 230, 900. In
1892 Europe's sales TO this country
had grown to 1891, $50, 600, but We
sold to Europe domestic merchandise
valued at sS41, ,090. 900 In the Same
year. That is, while our purchases
were increasing e174, $50, 900, our
sales grew @599, $3.50, ,00O.-New York

In the House to carry out the process
Of "purging- the rolls for which the
Democratic press have been clamor.
ing ever since Cleveland's election to
the Presidency on Nov. 8 last. The
amendments to the pension appro.
priation bill submitted by Mr.. Mutch-
Ter, Of Pennsylvania, leave no doubt
aS to the Intentions OF the Dem0CF1tg
who control the legislation Of the
House. These amendments, In addi.
tion to transferring the Pension
Bureau from the Interior Depart
ment to the War Department, pro-
vide: flrst, that all pensions for dis
abilities shall be uniformly rated, and
that hereafter all pensions granted
under the dependent act pf 1890
shall be "rated upon the inability OF
tho pensioner to earn living by
manual labor; second, that after July
l, lS93, no pension shall be allowed
to person under the provisions OF
chapter 634 OF the act OF 1890, who ID
able to perform manual labor, and
whose income Is 5000 or more per an-
mum; and. third. that after July /,
1893, no pension shall be paid under
any general law to the widow Of a
soldier of any war unless said widow
shall be able to show that she was
married to said soldier within five
years after the close Of the war In
which he served. This indicates
very clearly that the Democrats pro-
pose to make the pension list roll OF
dishonor rather than one OF merit.
They would deny q pension to every
man, no matter what his merit and
bravery on the ileld, and give to only
those who are willing to prove under
oath that they are paupers, and de-
pendent upon governmental charity

from Our Regular CORRESPONDENT
At a. special meeting of the town of
Brownfield, called for the purpose, it was
voted to raise money tax of $1,000, for
the repair OF highways and bridges, and
James B. Stone was chosen road COM
missioner to expend the money raised in
such parts of the town as the roads are
in most need of repair. The amount of
$500 was also raised for the purchase of
road machine.

The system of checking is also so we'll
understood that the moment new spot
ter commences he is himself spotted and
laughed at The most popular method
is to read book and to turn over page
every time passenger enters car or
pays his fare.
Many Of the ladies who skim through
book carelessly as they ride on a car
are spoilers, and some of them are so
careless that they use the same book day
after day, never thinking that it must
be spotted and detected. Other spoilers
Of both SEXES use row Of pins, and act
ing as though they were nervous trans:
fer them from one part Of their vest to
another, taking care to move one every
time a passenger gets on. Taking notes
on shirt wristbands is much simpler and
really attracts less attention, but it does
not possess the desired righteousness
and is seldom done.
A book could be written on the Jokes
that are played on spoilers after they be-
come well known to the conductors. To
accost one of these worthless personally
and ask If the register is all right is an
act resorted to in retaliation for special
meanness, and the sting in this lies in
the fact that the spotter knows that dis
charge will follow If the company knows
he has been recognized. Another plan
is to purposely omit to ring up fares, but
to keep careful track of the number
taken. The spotter takes note of the
omission and prepares a report to the
superintendent. In the meantime the
conductor has rung mp the fares, doing
SO the moment the spotter got of, and
when the report is compared with the
trip sheets it is found that the mistake
has been made not by the man reported,
Rat by the man Or woman making the
report.
But the conscientious spotter is not so
much to be feared. The spotter who
makes the lives Of conductors miserable
is the one who guesses. Instead of keep
ing actual tab of the number OF pas
sengers some spoilers will make an esti-
mate an. actually base report on it.
This is as ridiculous as unjust, for while
the trip cars are out the crowds are SO
large chat the conductor himself could
not zaake even an approximate guess as
20 the number of fares taken. Still some
