The Whisky Trust is without Govern

Americans must take what they can
get and pay fancy prices for that. We
not only must pay our money to for
eigners for our ocean carriage, but we
have to pay them more than the car
riage is worth. If American enterprise
were only given a chance, it would soon
abolish this condition Of things. 1t
would supply an extent Of available
tonnage sufficient for our needs and
would put tonnage rates down to the
proper figure. In addition to this we
would have the satisfaction of knowing
that the freight money was going into
American pockets to be invested in
other American enterprises and to be
spent for the products of American Ia
Dor. A system of discriminating du-
ties would give to American shipping
the chance needed-the same chance
that a protective tariff has given to
other industries.

A financial writer on one of the lead

ket for the week ended Oct. %, draws
attention to the fact that America is
now commanding force in the
worlds money markets. Proof of this
is cited in the fact that while complex

Europe's commercial and financial CEN
tiers, while war clouds hung heavily
over all the Old World markets, while
enterprise was checked and the values
of even the strongest of foreign securi-
ties gave way under the strain, the
bonds of the United States, issued to
defray the cost Of the war with Spain,
scored new high record, and all the

WHAT BISMARCK BELIEVED.
Faith in Living God and Love for
Truth and sincerity.

Faith in "a Living God and Love for
Truth and sincerity.
Bismarck may or may not have been
a man without q scruple; he certainly
was not a man without very living
faith in a living God. He took as little
stock in streams of tendency" as Mr..
Gladstone himself Oliver Cromwell in
deed, was not more firmly convinced Of
the reality of a Divine Providence than
this intellectual giant of the skeptical
nineteenth century.
This was in him a lifelong character
istc. When he was a boy Bismarck's
parents made a great point of inculcat-
ing truth on his youthful mind. When
young Otto was Is it was Schleiermach-
er who prepared him for confirmation.
Old Bismarck wrote to the famous
preacher and professor, begging him in
his Instructions to lay special stress on
the virtues of sincerity and truth.
Schleiermacher confirmed Bismarck,
and gave him as his motto for the
guidance of his future life an altered
version Of Ephesians vi, Z: What thou
Goest do as to the Lord and not to
men,"
When he was in the heyday of his
fame, in 1887, he talked much to Sir

Nor was he in the least disposed to
shrink from processing his faith before
men. When Mr.. Gladstone died, Lord
Salisbury described him in his eulo-
GUM in the house Of lords as a most
eminent Christian.' Followers of the
meek and lowly NaZarene would pos
sibly be slow to recognize the man of
blood and iron as a disciple OF the
Christ who was crucitied. But Bis
marck himself had no misgivings as to
his place among the believers. Nor
was his a deathbed repentance. lie
did not postpone his avowal of faith i'll

coming dimly visible through the mists
of death. In the supreme moment OF
his career, on the eve of the war which
gave Prussia the headship of Germany,
in the midst of the war that made Ger
many the master of Europe, he avowed
with proud humility that to him all
that was vital in this life sprang from
his faith in the life to come.-Review

cried.
Il cannot deny that she was a good

not make scald cream? Then she bore me
a daughter. and the witchery was not off

The States of Indiana, Michigan, Wis

These States have done we'll The plu-
ralty in Iowa is only 5000 less than in

Gratis made great efforts to carry, only
5000: while that in Michigan is greater
by 1000 votes than in 1896. 1t looks as
if the gold Democrats there who voted for
Palmer two years ago had cast Republi-
can votes this year. or-it is more likely
as if all the boiling silver Republicans
have come back to the fold.
Wisconsin did not make quite as good
a showing, for the Republican plurality
two years ago was 100000. That was alb
normally large, however, and the Republi-
cans Of the State deserve credit for hav-
ing been able to hold their own so well in

sent here to learn how she was. Then a
month later, they sent again. but though
she was better I would not let her so.
After that we heard no more of the play
ers. SO she remained at Morwell."
He claspcd his hands on his knees, and
went on with bent head: 'But the play
actors returned and were in Taystocll
last week. and one of them came up here
to see her, not openly, but in secret. This
place is solitary and sad, and Eve of a
lively nature She tired of being here.
She wearied of me"
Babb laughed bitterly. "And now she
is flown away with play-actor. AS she
deserted her father. she deserts her hus-
band and child, and the house that housed
her. See YOU" he put out his hand and
crashed the cradle: Here lies vanity of

the fact remains that our unparalleled
merchandise balance of over $615,OOO,-
OOO for the fiscal year ended June 30,

With the establishment of adequately

longer possible to settle her enormous
balances in merchandise. The Dingley

that all hope of any advantage to be gain

Wanted, American ships.

Shippers report scarcity of available
tonnage, and as the inevitable result OF
the scarcity, the elevation of tonnage
rates. AS the ocean shipping for the
fall and winter has but just begun, and
large amounts Of grain and cotton are
to be exported later, the rates are likely
to advance further. 1t is reported that
many houses are postponing their ship
ments until later in the hope of getting
lower rates.

Working Out Splendid Re-u1t
Considering the total exports, the fig
ureS relating to the United States are
extremely gratifying when compared
with those of the leading countries
which are looked upon as our rivals in
the commercial world. The total do
nestle exports of the United Kingdom
are given in 1886 at 213,000,000 pounds
sterling, and in 1896 at 240,000,000
pounds sterling, a gain Of about 10 per
cent Those Of France in 1886 are Civ
en- at 3,24S, 100000 francs, and in 1896
at 3, 400,900,000 francs, gain of only
) per cent. Those of Germany in 1886
are given at 2,9S5,60 10000 marks and in
1896 at 1926, 100000, gain Of about Is
per cent; while the domestic exports
from the United States in 1886 were
$500, 964, $40, and in 1896 1868, 200, 4S7,
an increase of nearly 80 per cent. When

Doing Very Well.

The theory advanced by advocates of
the protective policy that imports
would respond to the improved condi-
tons of business in the country is be-
ing realized. There was an increase of
S9000,00O on imports of foreign mer-
chandise for August, 1898, over the i'm
ports for the August OF the preceding
year. Our exports We're but 100000
larger in August this year than i'll the
same month of last year. This was an
element in the calculation upon which
the efficiency of the Dingley tariff as
revenue measure was based. The first
effect of an increase in duties was to
check importations, but the greater
prosperity resulting from a revival of
business enables the people to become
more liberal purchasers of both home
and foreign goods \ feature of the
trade report for August was the gain in
the exports of manufactured goods.
There was n falling off in the exports
of grain, but the increase i'll the eX-
ports of manufactured goods made up
this loss and placed 100000 to the
credit of the trade balance. The re-
ceipts of the New York custom house
were $11, 900, 900 for August, against
5000, 900 for August, 1897. The credit
balance for the eight months of the
present year is $250,000,000 greater
than for the corresponding period in
