The Harrison Administration enlarged the OK
port trade by wise diplomacy. II secured the
removal of all European determinations against
American pork and other meats. II obtained
the resembling Of all DEGREES based on sanitary
grounds, and also enlarged the European mar
ket for American flour, grain and other products
by a series Of commercial agreements made
with the bcet-sugar countries. 1t also extended
the benefits of the Reciprocity policy 10 the
West Indies Central America and Brazil. In
consequence Of these comprehensive methods
Of promoting foreign commerce, both the i'm
port and the export trade acquired in 1892 the
largest volume ever known In the commercial
history Of the country. Even while the Demo
cratic campaign orators were chattering about
the markets of the world and rcproaching the
Harrison Administration with building Chi
nese wall around the United States, the products
Of American farms, mines, forests and factories
were sold on the most favorable terms abroad
and the import trade heavily increasing
All these conditions are reversed at the end
Of the first half of thr Cleveland Administra-
ton Germany and France are excluding Ameri-
can cattle and meats, and it is probable that
other beet countries will revive the hostile dis
ordinations which were removed under the
Harrison Administration. The Reciprocity pol
lev has been abandoned and all the advantages
derived from twenty agreements with European
and tropical countries have been lost. The ex-
port trade has steadily declined. American
products have been displaced in the West In
dies, and Russian exporters are profting by the
collapse Of the Reciprocity agreement with Ger

revival Of determinations against American
meats, and tariff war from which Russia has

Let us endeavor TO present IA rapid summary

There is we are glad to say, Il good prospect
now that the Republican pledge to give the peo-
pie Of this State blanket ballot will be carried
out The form of such ballot has been vrtu-
ally agreed upon. BY the proposed system the
candidates of the several parties will be printed
in parallel columns on a single sheet. each be-
inc distinguished by a party device, while an
additional column will give the independent
voter full scope for the exercise of his individ-
ual Judgment. Candidates may he voted for by
placing Il pencied cross opposite each name,
while the man who wants to vote straight need
make only Il single cross at the top of his party's
column The illustration which publish in
this issue gives a clear idea Of what the pro
posed blanket ballot will be like. The ultra re-
formers would prefer TO have the names OF
all candidates printed alphabetically, but there
are objections to such an arrangement, which
cannot be considered practical at present The
proposed style of ballot will certainly be a huge
improvement upon the confusing number of sep
arate pieces of paper which voters now nave
tO handle

It will be news 10 most OF the readers Of The
Tribune that law exists in Germany which
prohibits the christening or registration Of an
infant by any name save those which are in the
calendar or which are taken from ancient his
tory. The statute in question was enacted at
the time OF the great French Revolution OF 1793
and It's object was to prevent people giving their
children such names Danton, Marat and
Robesperre a practice which was considered
as a menace to social order. 1t might have been
imagined that the law would have since then
been permitted to die natural death, but when
an American citizen resident in Germany at
tempted the other day to register the birth of his
child by his own Christian name, Francis, he
was not only refused certificate until he con-
scented to change il, but was also subjected 10 4
