enthusiastic and continued cheering by
Democrats. Republicans and POiyulists

Some Trade Figures.

Our trade with the rest of the
world is getting very lopsided, as
the following tiguras show:
Total exports for ten months end
ed April 80, 1898, $I,oa5,4oo,oSI
total imports for ten months ended
April 80, 1898, $5II,ISI, 1856; excess
of exports, $5I4,a45,405.
With our tariffs and our war en-
terprises we are killing our COM
mercc. Advantageous trade consists
of an exchange of products IN which
both buyers and sellers are protited.
Trade in which there is either eX-
cessivc buying or selling indicates
abnormal and unhealthiul condi-
lions, after which come rcctitying
changes that put a check upon the
prosperity of the nation. -Philadel'
