FOREIGN COMMERCE.
America the Only Country with a
Mig Trade balance.

From the board Of trade returns and
other statistical information contained
I'm the December issue Of the London
Chamber of Commerce Journal, il APP
pears that for the first IL months Of the
year just closed there was an increase
Of British imports amounting TO $751;
100,575, as compared with 1896, and a
decrease OF exports amounting TO S2i,-
oil eco. The leading increases were in
the export OF yarns and textile fabrics,
which were sac, 463. 005 less than during
1896; machinery and mill work, 81 ,65o,-
sl5 less; apparel and articles Of person
al use. S2.3i7o3o less; other articles,
manufactured wholly or in part, S2,024,-
Cos less.
Austria-Ilungary' exports OF manu-
featured articles for the ten months
ending October were 7,7l2.s70 forms
less than the corresponding period OF
1896.
For the same ten months Germany
exports show an increase OF l0,504,6l5
quntals in weight. Among the articles
the exports OF which show a decrease
as compared with 1896 are cotton and
cotton goods, wool and wooden goods,
pottery ware, stone and stoneware, glass
and glassware, iron and iron ware, and
articles Of clothing. During the same
ten months German imports increased
3s.s52,si2 qulntals as compared with
1896.
The fact will not escape observation
that in neither Of the countries named
are the general trade conditions so sat

is the only one Of the great commercial
nations that can boast Of so big trade

Evidently there is a cog loose in Mr..
Bryan's logic again. Instead Of having,
thanks TO the free coinage of silver a
greater amount OF money per capita
than the United States, Mexico has
only about one-third as much money
per capita as this country possesses.
Besides, every dollar of United States
money, under the gold standard, is
worth twice as much MS a Mexican dol
lar. So that, II we take purchasing
power into consideration, we find that
our $2i.o3 per capita is worth $500 in
Mexican money, as against an $s.41
per capita i'm Mexico.
If il is n good thing to have a large
circulation, then free silver, as shown
by the experience OF Mexico, does not
supply that benefit, nor does the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver in Mex
leo add one penny OF value TO the sill
yer when il is coined. After that metal
Is minted IL is worth no more or less,
under free and unlimited coinage In
Mexico, than il was worth as bullion.
The free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer never did make so cents worth of
silver worth 100 cents, and never will,
Mr.. Bryan TO the contrary notwith-
standing.
While Mr.. Bryan is sounding the
praises Of Mexicos financial system
that country is striving TO abandon II,
and i'm few years we will see our
southern neighbor take its rightful
place among the progressive gold
tandard nations of the world.--Cin-
cinnati Commercial Tribune.

KENOSHA TEAM DEFEATED.
Racine Kickers Play Horse With the Ke-
nosha Football Team

The Kenosha football team was de
feated by the Racine team on Saturday
afternoon by a score of % toe. A
friend of the Kenosha team writes of
the game as follows:
The Kenosha boys played against
great odds, the Racine boys being
much heavier, and lew of them being
High school boys. The Kenosha boys
did not get all their men out, but those
who did show up were there for bust
ness. 1t was one-sided game, but
interesting, and the boys were dis
heartened.
Jones, who played left end, would
not give up, and was as cool headed all
through the game as he was at the
beginning. He showed the 1853 pound
man that weight wasn't in it when you
could use your feet to get around on.
He made some of the finest tackles OF
the season. On the kick off he was
down the field like the wind and had
the man as soon as he got the ball, and
if the ball was fumbled he was sure to
be on it.
The Racine captain speaking of the
game said that Jones gave them more
trouble than all the rest of the team.
Ferry made some fine plays, broke
the interference and made some fine
tackles. Vinegar at center.played a
good game: He got through the line
and made two very fine tackles. Blair
was not left GUS making some good
plays. Holderness was called back
and made two very fine punts down
the field.
The lovers of athletic sport ought to
turn out next Saturday and cheer the
boys on.
The line up was as follows; Ferry
and Jones, end; Vinegar, center; Blair,
quarter; Robinson, right guard; Hol-
derness, right tackle; Lehman, full
back; Goodenow, right half; left guard
tackle and left half back were filled out
with men picked out Of the crowd.

ROBBED A CHICKEN HOUSE.
John Citizen Pleads Guilty to Stealing
Chris Christianson Fowls.

John Citizen Pleads Guilty to Stealing
Chris Christianson's Fowls.
John Citizen was arrested Sunday
morning on a charge of burglary, the
specific charge being that of stealing
eighteen good fat fowls from a farmer
named Chris Christianson, living on
the Balm farm, west of the city. For
some time the farmer had been noticing
that the rumber of his chickens was
diminishing rapidly and one Saturday
night eleven of them strayed away.
Last Saturday night eighteen more
followed, but they made too much
noise in leaving and the farmer and his
neighbors were awakened. A chase
resulted and the man was followed to
the limits of the city, where he evaded
his pursuers and hastily disposed of the
chickens by giving them to friend.
Later Citizen was arrested by officer
Barber and had a preliminary hearing
before Justice Slater this morning,
when he plead guilty to charge OF
burglary at night and was bound over
TO the Circuit Court.
