DIED IN ENGLAND,

Mrs. David Reyonlds, of $40 Thirteenth
street, has received the sad news of
the death of her brother Rev. Edward
j. Grifiths, which occurred recently at
Berkshire England. Rev. Griffiths was
one of the first students to enter the
Congregational college at Melbourne
Australia, when it was opened in the
year 1856.
After laboring there for many years
he returned to England in 1872. where
he served his church faithfully. De-
ceased was very well known in England
and has many friends here.

resentative yesterday afternoon, ex-
pressed the opinion that too much gcn-
erosity is displayed by housewives in
harboring tramps by feeding them and
encouraging them by giving them
clothing and in some cases money.
Scarcely a day passes but dozen
or more tramps are fed at backdoors,
and many of them become impudent
when refused. Where they are en-
couraged they sometimes call again,
and also send their companions to So
liclt food and clothing. BY so doing
many a house is surveyed by the
tramps and doubtless many robberies
have been the result of their visits.
Instead of being feed and encouraged,
they should be reported TO the police.

Blanche was engaged in drilling q hole
for blasting, when suddenly a large
slab of rock weighing several tons fell
from the roof and pinned him to the

Fortunately for him, the slab did not
catch him squarely or he would have
been killed instantly. AS it was he was
severely bruised and his injuries will
necessitate his staying in the house for
some time to come.

when the credit Of the country was inflated
roads then building were exchanged for iron
and other merchandise which we~now pro-
duce in abundance. The collapse followed
and the values of imports fell off to $437.
0C06o0 in 1878 and the values of exports
forged ahead. helping to make specie re-
sumption possible in 1879. Those who can
recall the periods Of depression in this coun-
by the excessive volume of imports year
or two previous and the corresponding large
balance of trade against this country In
1896 the value of imports was third more
than the average of preceding years and the
adverse balance of trade three times the
average. The panic of 1887 followed, specu-
lation and expansion of credit being the
causes The panic late in 1857 was preceded
by an enormous volume of imports of mer-
chandise.
While it appears that during the 100 years
the balance of trade in merchandise was
$S12. 24l. 49s in favor of the United States, this
change in our favor has occurred since 1874.
From 1870 TO 1sI4-a period of eighty-five
years-the balance of trade was in our
favor but fifteen years. Since 1873 the bal
ance OF trade has been adverse but four
times and then in only small amounts COM
pared with the immense balances in our
favor which have ruled since that date. This
large and growing trade balance has turned
the tide of gold in our favor the past two
years, while the increasing volume of our
exports of merchandise, now that the United
kets of the world as a competitor, makes
ii certain that we shall export more than
we import, thus retaining all the advan-
tages which the statistics of the past TWEEN
ty years indicate.

FOREIGN TRADE FIGURES.

The chief of the Bureau of Statistics of
the Treasury Department has just issued
sheet which gives the imports and exports
of merchandise and precious metals from
the establishment of the government until
the close of the fiscal year 1S9S, which con-
tains some interesting facts and affords the
basis of interesting conclusions regarding
TIE growth of the foreign trade of the coun-
try. Prior TO 1S21 the movements of mer-
chandise and specie were not separated, so
that IL is impossible to ascertain the real
measure OF the foreign trade in merchan-
disc The first feature which may be noted
is the growth OF the foreign trade of the
United States during 100 years as shown by
a comparison of the values of the two
periods In 1870 the value of imports was
S2S, 10000 and that OF exports S20,3O5, 156
while the value OF imports during the fiscal
year which ended June 30, 1855. was $685.
Oae. 654 and that of exports 81 231. 49, $50. The
value of the excess of our exports over our
imports last year was nearly as great as
that OF our entire exports during the first
fifteen years of national life 1t was
not until 1851 that our imports exceeded
500 COO coo and not until two years later
that our exports exceeded that figure. From
1851 until the beginning Of the war our i'm
ports were large because We had all the
gold that California produced TO send
abroad to pay for merchandise which we
are now able to export The years imrne-
diately following the war our imports OF
merchandise increased to So, 100000 in 1S7s.

A DISTRUSTED TRUST.

Have the silver-mine owners come to dis
trust the great Bryan silver trust that they
must proceed TO form another in ORDER to
push up the price of silver 10 per cent. and
sell out a lot of silver mines or alleged
silver mines? The first great trust to be
formed in this country after the Sugar
Trust was the silver-mine trust. The or
ganization was begun in 1926 by promoter
who is best known as Coin Harvey. He
flooded the country with prospectuses and
promised that 80 cents worth of silver bull
lion would make dollar which would make
every man in the country wealthy. AT the
same time lobby known as the Bimetalrc
League was at work In Washington creating
a panic which kept the endless chain
drawing the gold out of the treasury and
preparing public opinion as far as possible
for the formation of a national silver trust
The work was so well done that when the
converts. perverts, dupes and the real repre-
sentatives of the silver-mine monop-
olists met in Chicago in July, 1896,
trust was formed to force the price of silver
bullion from about So cents to S1.29 an ounce.
IL was wonderful scheme to water all
values IN silver bullion and mines so that
the country at large would pay twice their
worth for their product. 1t meant millions
to the slver-mine monopolists and the presi-
dency of the trust for Mr.. Bryan.
That the silver-mine trust scheme failed in
1896 is a matter of history. But the same
may be said of many other attempts to
enrich limited number of persons at the
expense of the people at large. But the
promoters Of the silver-mine trust, led by
Mr.. Bryan. did not abandon the scheme;
they are yet at work 10 pour enough water
into 43 cents worth of silver bullion to make
ii pass for a dollar. Mr.. Bryan has just
had a dispute and exchanged caustic words
with Mr. Belmont because the latter will not
join the silver-mine trust. Mr.. Bryan is
now travelling over the country as the chief
promoter of the greatest trust ever con-
ceived But his efforts seem not to be ap-
preciated by the owners Of the silver mines
Probably they distrust Mr. Bryan's capacity
10 pour 30 per cent. of water into their sill
yer properties and so have united in a COM
bination 10 advance the price of bulloH/1 10
per cent. by controlling the production and
manipulating the market. Have they lost
faith in Mr.. Bryan and his three-hour
speeches?
