Heretofore this section has been con.

Drifting Toward Bon dage.

For the year ending July l., there was
balance of trade in favor of the United
States amounting to 1915 100000 but
the interest on our foreign debt, freight
paid to foreign ship owners and money
spent by orr tourists abroad amounted to
1914 ,0000 900, so after exhaustine the pro-
ceeds OF our immense expectations of
home products and settling up our ac-
count With the foreigners we were still
$4,000, 900 behind. The expenditures
that run us thus in debt were for services
for which we receive no tangible return,
and were of nature which the people OF
a great nation like ours should not he
called upon to bear. When nation
buys goods abroad it has the goods to
show for its expenditure, but when it
pays interest and transportation to
foreigners it gets nothing visible in re-
turn.
To meet the es cess of our obligations
abroad we were compelled to export $40,-
900 900 of gold and almost $40, 100000 of
silver. During the year we produced
$50 900 900 OF gold, bat -four fifths OF this
was exported to pay Interest on our debt
in Europe, leaving us but $4,000, 900 of
standard money to add to our circulating
medium. How long the resources of this
country will stand such a drain, is a
problem that coDfronts the thinking peo-
pie of the nation, but that the limit will
some day be reached is a certainty. Still
there seems to be no immediate hope OF
the drain being checked. We are rush
ting headlong into debt, willing and anx-
ious to increase our foreign obligations by
selling more bonds on our municipal
credits, light and water plants and street
railways, in fact every conceivable Sc
curity we can pledge. And so long as
this mad rush for accommodating debt ex-
lists, and our ocean traffic is done BY
foreigners, they will live off our earnings.
This tax upon our resources is becoming
so great, that IL we do not soon quit Dor
rowing money from abroad. and establish
transportation lines for doing our own
carrying trade, We will be owned by Euro
peans. They will have America in COM
pete bondage TO Europe, and her people
will be the burden bearers of the world
instead OF, as they should be, the most
independent people on earth.

OUR BOYS IN ALASKA.

Probably no place on the Pacific coast
of over thousand people is without its
personal interest in the Klondyke excite
ment. 1t is here and now as it was in
New England and the Southern states
just fifty years ago, with this difference
The gold seekers who crossed the plains
in '49 to go to California, encountered
many more dangers and privations in
their travels than do our Klondyke adj
venturers. A round dozen of Yakima
men have already started north in steam
ers, and some are already in the gold
fields, and there's not one of them but
has not the hopes and best wishes OF
every body here at home. Imagine the
same condition of things all over the
country and throughout Canada, and it
is easy to understand that there is a wide
field Of sentiment in favor OF the greatest
effort for roads, way-stations and proyis
ions against danger. In fact, money and
the presence of thousands upon thous-
ands of hardy men can smooth the
rough places into a ruggeder country
than Alaska, and the money and men
are getting there as fast as steamers can
carry them.
There are doubters and croakers who
make one with friends gone that way
feel somewhat detected, but there is
this to say about them they cannot
ohn hn 81 hat,
the rest of us do, to start with and,
further, it is noticeable fact that the
men who lie in wait to make investments
have made more careful inquiries than
anybody else, and they are building ex.
pensive steamers and getting there as
fast as they can. So who shall say that
the doubter and the croaker is one to be
much considered in these matters. There
are dangers everywhere-in the dinner
pot, the mushroom and the cucumber,
yet We brave them, being a hardy race,
and there are plenty of US alive and
hearty, considering the means at hand
And who OF US would not have his name
go down to history as having frozen to
death with a five gallon oil can full of
gold in each hand, as cheerfully as he
would have it told of him that he choked
to death with a chicken bone.
How little recks it how man dies.
SO he dies noblest, best"
But, really, there is no occasion to talk
about dying in connection with this jour
ney for gold, which is the noblest and best
thing man can do who has himself and
family to support, especially when he is
doing nothing at home. In fact it is a
very healthy place up there on the rim OF
of the Arctic circle, and the only man We
have heard OF dying on the Yukon this
year was Matthews Of Tacoma, who acct
dentally shot himself while cleaning a
gun.
So good luck to the boys and don't
worry about them. Write them cheerful
letters and keep the garden watered till
they come back rich. They are the
Quickest and best of all--not hunting
gold for themselves alone, either.

Washington Post: II heard the late
Judge John K. Grace, of the court OF
appeals of Kentucky, set aside the verdict
of a jury once under circumstances that
to my mind did him infinite credit, ;"
said Representative John S. Rhea of that
state.
ut seems that poor woman, who " as
on the verge of starvation, and who was
the sole support of four little children,
went into neighbours smokehonse and
purloined piece of bacon. The proof
WAS positive, and the jury reluctantly
returned verdict of guilty. When the
finding of the jury was read Judge Grace
who at that time presided over the Four
teenth judicial district, rising to his feet,
said in the most emphatic tones;
The court orders that the verdict in
this case be set aside and | want to de.
clare here that in all cases where an IN.
fortunate woman is on trial for stealing
food, taken to keep her otf'prings from
starving, 1t will require thirteen men Ia
convict her OF the crime 10 this court
The defendant is discharged from Gus
toby
THE announcement has greeted with
applause from the spectators, and the
general sentiment was that Judge Grace
had acted not only as befitted a chival-
rous man, but that his ruling was right.
Theft to keep innocent babes from per-
i.hing OF hunger can scarcely be called
crime"
