CHANGES IN OUR FOREIGN TRADE

TO the Editor OF the Eagls.
have already called the attention of
the readers of your paper, IN previous
communications, TO the great change
that took place in our exports and i'm
ports during Cleveland's former admin
istration. When Mr. Cleveland entered
the White House in 1885, the balance Of
trade between this and foreign countries
amounted to about Sl65. 000, 900 in favor
of this country. Within three years
thereafter, the balance of trade was
over S2S, 900, 0o0 against the country.
During Harrison's administration The
balance of trade has again swung back
20 1898 DOC, 600 in favor of this country,
according to the last official report.
Another point have previously refer
red to. During the four years of Cleve-
lands administration our exports were
SlS3, 400. 511 less than they We're during
the four years of the Garfield and
Arthur administration. Our imports
were S12s, 49a, Az less. On the
other hand, during the four years of
Harfison's administration, our exports
have increased over those under the
four wears of Cleyeland's administration,
s6Sl. 1874. 1872; our imports have increased
S5.5, 500. 1874. Oar total exports and i'm
ports during the four years of Harrison's
administration increased, 81 ,s5s, soS, $50;
over those Of Cleveland. have warn
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1893-03-31

ed the voters Of this country against
the danger arising from the election of
Grover Cleveland in consequence of
these changes. Already the disastrous
effects of his election are becoming
apparent in the condition of our foreign
trade. Our exports begun to fall off i'm
mediately after the election in November
last. For the first two months of 1892,
our exports were valued at 1886, 776, 473;
for the corresponding period of 1893,
their value fell off to 1927, sos, $685. In
January and February 1892, our imports
were valued at S129, 1902. $50; the imports
for the first two mouths of 1898,
were Si63, 407 800; the excess OF imports
over exports in January and February,
1888, was $50, sol ,Fs3; and the gold ex-
pOrtation for these two months. largely
10 pay this balance, aggregates $27, $50
DOB. In the first two months of 1892,
our exports exceeded our imports by
SOS, 673, 653. It will be seen by these fig-
ures, that already the balance of trade
has turned very largely against US. At
the close of the fiscal year 1892, as pre-
viously stated, the balance of trade was
$203, 600, 600 in favor of this country. If
it continues through the year 1898 as it
begun for the first two months, it will
be nearly 5000, 100000 against us; max
ing a difference of over $500, 900, 900 in
the state of our foreign trade.
l refer to these facts for the purpose of
keeping tie voters of this country posted
as to what is going on. Of course our
Democratic friends see nothing to cause
alarm in so remarkable change OF fig
ures. They don't see anything to cause
alarm in tearing down the protection
that surrounds American industries, in
adopting free and unlimited coinage of
silver, and in many other measures
which the Democrats and Populists are
vigorously recommending the govern
ment to adopt. Let them wait, and care
fully watch the effect of such legislation
on the business prosperity of the country,
and if they arc men of goou sense, they
will be led to change their views on these
subjects. DR.. E. P. MILLER

HAIRS BREADTH.

With all the criticism and witticism
by the men of the women for the variety
of styles in which they edo" their hair,
fashion is little less capricious and exact
ing with fashionable men in the matter
of dressing their hair. The prevailing
style at present is short, round cut be-
hind, brushed back from the temples and
fiat above the forehead. Only year or
two ago the hair was worn ponpadour,
and little back of that the feather edge
cut and the close clip prevailed. Discuss
ing the subject of the style in which the
hair is worn a women correspondent of
the Lawrence Record gives this bit of
Renaissance:
''It is about thirty years since men
wore their hair parted in the back as
see they are doing now" said man well
along on the shady side of sixty today.
Men let their hair grow much longer
than they do now. Many young man
used two mirrors when he combed his
back hair so that he could see to get
straight part in it; sometimes men who
were careless would appear with great
saw teeth in the back part. 1t was not
unusual in those days to see men with
their hair turned up and inward around
the ends, making a sort of roll: and some
men wore earlocks, hair permitted to
grow and down in front of the ears"

II is announced that when the college
advisory committees meet an effort will
be made to have more open game of
football, and that brute strength and
brute smuggling will have TO give place
to contests OF speed and skill in man
euvering. Among other things to be
considered is the abolition of the
''wedge system" which has been used
this year by Yale, Harvard and other
teams, and which has been the princi-
pal cause of most of the accidents that
have occurred. When one gang of ath-
letic young men forms itself into a bat

THE GREATEST MAN ON EARTH.
NJ. NJ. MURDOCH Editor.

The greatest man that this country
has produced, the Hottest individual
conauering historical recognition OF
either pen or sword, pulpit or BAR IN
studio or forum is Grover Cleveland, pres
ident of the United States of America.
The eminence of Washington for love OF
country, of Lincoln for patriotism ana
of Grant for his military genius was
such as must secure to them the proud
inches to which deserved fame has
assigned them, but neither OF these, nor
the illustrous Jefferson nor the defiant
Jackson was greater than his party.
Grover Cleveland is not only greater
than his party, but he is greater than
the American people. No man knows
so much, His cabinet of selected advls-
ors together with all the representatives
of his marty and of every other interest
everywhere, combined, do not know
what he knows, be the question but one
Of the greatest good to the greatest
number, one of International compllca'
ton or only one of the individual fitness
of some modest applicant for the most
insignificant Office in his gift He doml-
mates each, everything and all from the
tariff and free coinage problems
or the exact duties OF ambassador or
plenipotentiary extraordinary, to the IN
significant claim of the humblest PEN
sion-patriot's widow.
In Grover Cleveland is all wisdom
centered, all virtue crystalized. With
out him utilitarianism IS sound
ing cynicism, love Of country an
unrealized beatitude. Anxious hui
mani generis, and civicism IN
his personality alone is nationalized.
With the expiration of his second term
whether he will offer himself to us as
the man on horseback. as limited mon
arch or merely as third term president,
is not for Tammany nor Wall street nor
for the Democratic party, nor for even
the American people to dictate, only
simply for himself to say.
By Grover Cleveland no fact of inter-
national relation or obligation, however
abstruse, remains uncomprehended,
and no truth, however exalted,
unuttered. Alexander wept; Grover
Cleveland smiles. Each in his grasp
world, in weak tears as fortunes favor
tie Alexander, but Grover is a gladiator,
self-sufficient and triumphant His
party under him, for him and of him
will, in renewed unity, raise silver to
parity, and roll the imposed burthen
of severalized tariff from
the stopped shoulders of his
country's industrial slaves or
otherwise it will fail in its new lease
of power and go to pieces, but Grover
Cleveland will reign in serenity, undis-
turbed, Godlike.
A man without match, ruler unimi-
tated and Of impossible PRESERVATION, in
unyielding rigidity, high over and supe-
rior 10 all his environments he projects
himself, possibly to sink from sight in
che sands of futurity, but majestic, in
tact and uncrumbling. Ignoring pre-
cedent and fate alike, but yet recognIz-
ing the perpetuity of omniscience as a
probability, the light of destiny reflect
ing in Ais immobile face. he sets down
his foot and to Tammany, and to con-
gress. ard TO his party, to his country
and to The world is his only answer,
