ed, Notwithstanding it did not receive a
majority of all the votes cast. Itwas suf-
ficient that the amendment received ma

DIstastefuI Prosperity.

The prospect that as the result of
the excess of exports over imports our
balance of trade will continue to in
crease, and will require still larger Ok
ports of gold from Europe to the
United States, is recognized with dis
may by the London "Statist" of Octo-
Der, as follows:
With large cotton shipments in Oc-
tober, November and December, n
with the high price of wheat. the mer-
chandise balance for the six months
ended December will be larger than
ever previously. In October. 1896. the
favorable balance reached $63 DOC, 900,
in November it was $50. O00, 900, and In
December SIS, 900 900. while even in
January it was $40, 000, 900. Should any
thing like these figures be witnessed In
the present year. n should trade in
the United States continue to revive,
II cannot be doubted that further con-
siderable sums of gold must be taken.
Eminent free trade authority is the
"Statist." and it's candid recognition
Of the remarkable increase in our
sales to foreign countries under the
system of protection cannot but bring
pain to the many misguided theorists
who have all along insisted that it
could not be; that We must buy as
much as we sold, and that for this rea-
son a protective tariff would cut us
off from any demand for our surplus
products. Prosperity at such q price
Is extremely distasteful. Better that
the times should continue distressing
ly hard than that a favorite free trade
dogma should be e~ternally smashed. 1t
is such a type of Americanism that Is
bred by the free trade propaganda.
