Don't forget

reckoning 81, 400, 900, 900 as the sum of
foreign investments in this country,
were to be accepted, fully one-half of
this amount would be offset by the
merchandise export balance of the last
three years
OF foreign gold, the country has in
deed drawn from abroad an unparal-
leleG sum this year, its net import to
date being no less than S134 000,0 900. But
to this means of settlement, too, there
is is a normal limit, first, because the
stock of specie in the United States is
already ample for the countrys needs
and, second, because the drain on for
eign markets has become somewhat
embarrassing. We do not at all en-
dorse the theory that this money
squeeze" abroad results from made
quacy in the worlds supply of gold.
European gold has flowed in quantity
to America, simply and solely because
er quantities from foreign communities
to our own. as a result of our trade de-
velopments. 1t is the loss Of available
capital which pinches the foreign mar
kets, and of this their loss of gold is
merely an incident. But this hardly
alters the nature of the situation. Eu-
rope is forced to regain control of some
of this capital in order to retain its
gold. Neither sales of merchandise
nor sales Of securities have sufficed:
hence the unusual phenomenon, now
witnessed of Europe borrowing capital
directly and in enormous quantities in
our markets.

THE FOREIGN TRADE RIDDLE.

The New York Evening Post is puz-
zled by "the steady accumulation of the
apparent merchandise export balance
in favor of the United States. the con-
tinued increase in the shipments OF
other than agricultural products, and
the growth of our total monthly exports
to figures quite unapproached in our
previous history" Present trade con-
dtions must indeed be rather bewilder-
ing to those who have long entertained
the belief that the application Of what
was once known as the Mckinley idea
would inevitably tend to the restriction
Of our foreign commerce, and would, in
fact make the position of this country
one of comparative isolation. That this
belief was not well founded, is shown
by trade statistics.
During the past year we have sold to
other nations more Of our products than
ever before, the gain in the twelve
months being more than $3.50 600 600. and
the gain over 1895 being $405, OOO, 600. No
nation has equalled the United States
| in respect to sales to other countries
our exports exceeding those of Great
Britain by more than s6O,00OO 900. When
we consider that we are buying less in
foreign markets than ever before it
will be seen that our position is very
satisfactory, though of course it must
be puzzling to those who thought that
the repeal Of the Wilson tariff law
marked the beginning of a period Of
trade restriction and commercial isola-
ton.
There is a good prospect that our
foreign trade will continue to grow. In
his speech at Savannah, Saturday
evening, President Mckinley said: "Our
financial and revenue policies cannot be
changed for at least four years, and
whatever legislation may be had affect
ing them during that period will be TO
improve and strengthen not destroy
them" The quality Of permanence in
laws affecting commercial and manu-
featuring interests is of great value.
and there has been no time in the re-
cent history Of this country when this
quality seemed to be so well assured as
it is at present.
