But smut Jp hour ouOn Mil, Is the AL
legged Advice OF Cleveland tom Friend.
The New York Press says that the
friends of a. c. Houghton, the North
Adams (Mass.) millionaire, are laughing
over story that some one has started.
Mr.. Houghton owns cotton mills and
print works in several of the smaller towns
OF Northern Berkshire and is interested in
Boston brewery rs well. Mr.. Houghton
Is strong Democrat and an especially ar
dent admirer Of President Cleveland.
The story Is that, when the hard times
set in last summer, Mr.. Houghton, when
calling on the president at BuZzard's bay,
said, anxiously: 81 own cotton mills in
western Massachusetts and brewery in
Boston. What shall j do?' Mr.. Cieve-
land is said TO have answered: "Close your
cotton mills quick. The brewery's all
right. Let her CO."
AS Mr.. Phillips the owner of the Press
is a North Adams mauufacturer there
seems TO be some truth in the story.

THE BALANCE OF TRADE ARGU
MENT.

Severe tariff revision in the direction
of free trade must, almost inevitably,
throw the balance of trade against this
country. To prepare the minds of the
people for this result, says the New
York Press, some of the free trade jour
nails are attempting to demonstrate that
a favorable balance of trade is not to be
desired. The Boston Herald, for ex-
ample, insists that the balance of trade
of 5000, 900 last year in our favor repre-
sented an 'unhealthfur condition of
things. The theory OF the free traders
is that when the balance of trade is
against nation it is token that the
nation is rich enough to buy more than
it sells, and that when the balance is the
other way there is proof that the nation
is parting with its products without OBJ
tanning full equivalent for them. The
whole basis of this strange delusion is
the fact that the balance appears to be
against England nearly all the time. As
England is rich, the inference of simple
minds is that the short road to riches
must be to bring in more goods than are
sent out.
When an individual buys more than
he can sell, either he is expending money
that he has accumulated or he is running
tion exceed its exports, the sIme con-
clusion is inevitable. IL it be creditor
nation, like England, the apparent ad-
verse balance is probably not real. The
vast sums of money sent to this county
from England for investment do not
fully appear in the statistics of American
imports. But the cotton, wheat, petrol
cum and provisions with which we pay
much the larger part of the interest up
on these investments do figure in our
statements of exports; and thus the bal
ance, upon the entire series of transac-
tions, is probably often in favor of Eng
land when it seems to be against that
country.
In the case of debtor nation like ours
an adverse balance may be said always
to mean Just what it seems to mean. 1t
means simply that we are running more
deeply into debt, and balance in our
favor means that we are discharging in
debtedness. This will clearly appear up
on examination of the statistics of our
foreign trade during and just after the
war. In every year, from 1868 to 1873,
there was an excess of imports to this
country over exports. In that period of
stress we were heavy borrowers from
Europe and heavy buyers of material.

TARIFF UNCERTAINTY.

The Boston Journal, the New England
conservative Republican paper of the
people, publishes a series of autOgraphiC
interviews with firms and manufactur.
ing concerns, in its news columns. II
says: "a letter was addressed to those
who had been reported in the news col
umns of the public press as having
made, or as contemplating, a partial OF
complete shut down of their mills, ask
ing certain questions as to the causes
for their action and their views of the
proper remedy for the prevailing pecar-
ious state of affairs"
The letter is in these words: In order

preston in business, the Journal is can

made changes in their plans on account
of the industrial situation. viii you

Judge Sanborn of the United States
circnit court of appeals has rendered Il
decision likely to attract National atten-
ton, and which, if sustained, will make
a material reform in the laws regulating
suffrage in many of the Western States.
The law of the United States requires
five years residence before naturaliza-
tion Many States, however, premit
foreigners to vote after one years resi-
dence if they declare their intention to
become citizens. Many foreigners who
have never become citizens, but have
since returned to their native countries,
have voted under such laws, not only for
local officers, but for Presidential cleo
tors. 1t is possible, under such laws,
that men not citizens and never to be-
come citizens may decide local, State and
ev Presidential elections. But Judge
Sanborn says that State laws comforting
the right of suffrage upon aliens other
wise than as prescribed by the Federal
law are unconstitutional and void. If
the Supreme Court upholds this ruling,
it will make a material and desirable
change in the comforting of suffrage in
several States.

PRINCE OF THE HOUSE OF FORE
PAUGH,

At the death of Adam Forepaugh his
only son Adam was like an heir to the
throne banished from his kingdom, and
while he is particularly reticent about
his personal affairs it is no secret that
the blow robbed him of the immediate
opportunity to succeed his father as a
great Snowman. On comming into the
possession of large fortune he was at
first rather timid in entering into bust
ness on his own account, for two sum-
mers he received $4,000 season to di-
rect the amusements of large show.
Last summer he tried the irksomeness of
idleness some times miscalled the pleas
ure of leisure. The vacation over he at
once SCI about organizing his Brand
New Show" which combines a capital
one ring circus and a big quarter mile
track hippodrome, and from its first
opening at Dover, Delaware, in the early
spring, his success has been marvellous
and deserved At the capital of Della
ware he was particularly holOred, the
legislature adjourned and the law
makers and state officials honored the
young manager with their patronage and
presence declaring that Forepaugh's cir
Gus was much better than their own;
and Forepaugh's fools much wiser and

From 1874 to 1892 the tide ian the other
way. There were but three years in
which the exports did not exceed the
imports. That was the time when the
nation, under the influence OF protection
to its industries, was moving with leaps
and bounds toward splendid prosperity
and was engaged in paying its debts.
The American who thinks it "uuhealth-
ful' for this country to have the balance
of trade in its favor will find it hard to
account for the vigorous health of the
nation during that period of eighteen
years when the balance was steadily in
our favor.
When the balance of trade is against
us that balance must be paid in gold. 1t
was against us after the De nocratic
revenue tariff of 1916 was inflicted up
on the country, and the result was that
the enormous gold product of the Cali
fornia mines passed straight across the
continent and across the ocean to Europe
to pay for imports for which our food
products and cotton did not suffice to
pay. Possessing the richest gold mines
on earth, our own people were compelled
to do business with rag money and for
eign silver. We concluded that perform
duCe Will Int panic VI 1901, anu Will Cne
subsequent prOstration of the credit of
the government to such an extent that
the Treasury, under Democratic admin
istration, could hardly borrow money at
II per cent.
Tariff protection alone will keep the
balance Of trade in our favor; will draw
gold to the country and will permit us
to expend upon the products of our own
industry the profits made by selling
abroad our raw materials. The effort
now making to induce the people to be-
lieve that balance of trade against us is
a good thing for us, is as reprehensible
and as base as the attempt made last
year to persuade the workingmen that
the assault upon home industry, which
has already wrought so much harm to
them and to the country, would confer
benefit upon them.

1t used to be said that no man can &C
cumulate Sl,000,000 of lis own in his
own lifetime, says the writer OF current
mention in the n. Y. Press, without do
ing injustice to some one or making
some others poorer bv his own thrift.
This was probably true before the mod
ern age of improved machinery and
great inventions. 1t may be that even in
these times no man can make 81, 600, 900
honestly in his own active life without
making others work for him. This is
saying little, however, because as soon
as a man has saved by his own toll $1,000
he has enough capital, if rightly used, to
employ one other man. AS soon as he
has saved $4,000 the average man is the
employer of four other men, and is on
the road to become millionaire, mono
pOlist, plutocrat and other things that
campaign orators hold up as something
which voters ought to put down. Yet
the voters and the orators ask nothing
better than to become one of that hated
class. John Stephenson, the great car
builder who was buried last Saturday,
is an illustration of what legitimate in
dustry will do in this wonderful country.
He started with nothing and left about
SS,000,000. He began at II. working for
81 week and he died at S4, leaving an
income of $4,000 week. Yet it was all
honestly earned. 1t is said that Steph-
enson never invested dollar in his life
in speculation. He simply built with
his own hands the iirst street car ever
made, and he lived to see 5000 other
men building his street cars for almost
every country on the face of the globe.
His great fortune and the esteem in
which all his meI held him show that no
limit of "S1,00O,0OO honestly earned
can be placed upon legitimate enterprise
and industry in this country.

To meet the continuing increasin- de.
mand for National bank notes from
banks which gre taking advantage of the
low rate of government bonds and buy
ing them and increasing their circula-
tion, Secretary Carlisle has ordered the
force of the bureau of engraving and
printing to work from a. m. to G p. m.
This is two hours over the usual time.
With these extra hours the capacity OF
the bureau, in addition to keeping up
the regular government work, will be
about 10000 sheets daily, or 100000
notes day. The average stamped value
of each sheet is S35, so that the total is.

will be about 81, 250,000, exclusive of re-

A Matter of Health

TT costs more to make Royal Baking Powder
than any other, because its ingredients
are more highly refined and expensive. But
the Royal is correspondingly purer and
higher in leavening strength, and of greater
money value to the consumer. The difference
in cost of Royal over the best of the others.
does not equal the difference in leavening
strength, nor make good the inferior work
of the cheaper powders, nor remove the
impurities which such powders leave in
the food.
Where the finest food is required the
Royal Baking Powder only can be used
Where the question of health is considered,
no baking powder but Royal can be used
with safety All others are shown by official
analyses to contain lime, ammonia or alum.
