into several schemes to worry the govern

to use dynamite to accomplish the over

who had trouble with Carl Klemme.

The Flow OF Gold to Europe.

Both during the war and during the re-
construction period there was an excess
of exports of gold very large during the
first ten years, averaging yearly over s4i,-
ooa. 600, but relatively very small during
the last twenty-one years, showing an
average of less than 81, 900 per year.
For the whole thirty-one years the ex-
cess OF exports of gold bullion has been
$50 10e, $50.
As to silver, there has been an excess
of exports during the whole period,
amounting during the thirty-one years
TO an excess of si2S. 5556l1, or an average
of little over SIC, 900 per year. 1t is
interesting to note the decrease In ex-
cess of exports after the adoption of the
silver-prrchasing law of 1890, and the I'M
mediate rise in the amount after its re-
peal in 1893.
In the difference between the exports
and imports of merchandise OF all kinds
other than the precious metals-the bal
ance OF trade as ordinarily understood
there is a marked difference between the
first ten and the last twenty-one years.
During the ten years OF the war period
and just aftcg there was an excess of
imports OF merchandise amounting to
81 .ei7, os9. sia or an average per year OF
over 500 ooo.to0 During the last twenty
one years. on the other hand. there has
been an excess Of exports of merchandise
amounting to s21iOsis. 0S7. or yearly av-
erage OF over 500. 90. 600
But the real balance OF trade must in
clude the exports ana imports OF gold and
silver. For the first ten years the bal
ance was in our favor to the extent OF
s'e7, 90. go. but during the last twenty
one years we have sent out OF values OF
all kinds s., al So, 80 more than We have
received. The net excess Of exports for
the whole period was ss,o4i. 4s9. ssa For

"Pellets" are superior in a great many
ways to all mineral waters, Sedlitz powders,
salts, castor oil, fruit syrups, laxative teas,
and other purgative compounds. Made OF
concentrated vegetable ingredients, they
act in a mild, natural way. Their second
airy effect is to keep the liver active and the
bowels regular, not to further constipate,
as is the case with other pills. They don't

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

The prospect that any bill providing
canal viii be passed at this session Of
congress Is gloomy. There yet remain
only eleven working days OF the session,
and the work piled up in both the SEN
ate and house IL enormous. The Nor
gan bill. which passed the senate. Is not
acceptable to the house committee.
which. IL 1t report any bill. win submit
one originating In that body. 1t Is
therefore extremely improbable that
any legislation viii be had at this ses-
sion.
This outcome has not been unex-
pected by friends OF, the bill. or the
general public. After the Morgan bill
had passed the senate. there was for
few days some apparent ground for
hope that IL might secure consideration
In the house IN time for final action be-
fore adjournment. This hope, like all
others. based upon the capacity Of a
Democratic congress to enact beneficial
Affirmative legislation. will be proven
baseless. It will probably slumber in
committee until the end OF the session,
which. OF course. will end IL. The OPP
f'ortnnify to pass this bill is the only
chance left the Democratic party to
pass a creditable measure OF legislation
during the session aboit to close: 1t is
the ouiy measure of national import
ance for which there is an almost uni
versal non-partIsan demand: the only
one which. IL enacted into law. would
be a source of just generalization after
the session Is ended. It's defeat but
emphasize the conviction in the public
mind that the Democratic party is in
herently Incompetent to shape and
carry out any broad national policy.

IT DEPENDS ON THE TERMS OF
THE MORTGAGE.

Morgan, Mich, February 5. 1895.
To the Editor: A person holds first
mortgage on property in Seattle, inter-
est and mortgage unpaid, the person
holding the mortgage paying back taxes
for three or four years. and the person
holding the second mortgage deferring
the foreclosure Of the first. When fore
closure is made can the taxes be put
in the foreclosure and secured, and in
case the person holding the second
mortgage buys out the first, can he be
obliged to pay the other what he has
paid on taxes. to secure a good title?
SUBSCRIBER.
In nearly all cases the mortgages
provide for the repayment to the mort
gagee of all taxes and insurance which
the mortgage has been obliged to pay
by reason of the delinquency of the
mortgagor. II the holder OF the Sec
ond mortgage buys the first mortgage
he is entitled to all the rights which
the first mortgage would have In case
OF foreclosure.
