WRITTEN BY THE PEOPLE.

In Atlanta day or two ago the
Hon. William B. Hornblower, who is
now on visit to that city, and who
was follower OF Mr.. Clevsland's Pc
culiar idea, declared that Mr.. Croker
is no leaderfo himself. TIE eonstitu-
tion would amend the declaration OF
Mr. Hornblower by declaring that there
are great many other men who have
found out that there can be no leader
without constituency. In this coun.
, try the people are the leaders, and the
men who grab at the losves and fishss
are put the accidents Of election. The
people msy be deceived occasionally,
bat as in the case Of Mr.. Cleveland and /
thosewho stood about him, they can
show how terrible is their revsngsI

FRUIT IN VIRGINIA.

The Commissioner Of Agriculture,
Mr.. Koiner, is greatly interested in
virginia's possibilities, but upon no
phase Of this subject does he dwell with
more emphasis than upon what is
possible forthe farmers of The State to

which he says there is an erroneous
idea that fruit cannot be grown in

TRADE BALANCES MISLEAD.

The mere statement that there is an
enormous trade balance in oar favor
standing by itself, so far from givin us
eorIecl flea of the situation, is worse
than no statement at all, for while
conveying the belief that we are riding
the bounding waves of unparale ed
prosperity, an examination ct all tn
facts may prove that we are travelling
the road to ruin. Whether we ART
doing 30 or not it can easily be dem n
rated that trade conditions, taken in
their. sntirety,sre not favorable; that
we are being subjected to "a rmoas
and unjust, injuryand that il ruin d rs
not speedily come it is merely besu e,
our resources are 80 great that it y a
take long time to bleed te death. In
round numbers in 1898 we have sold
$1,000, 600, 900 worth of commodities
and bought $6OO,OOO,OOO, leaving a
balance OF $500, 900. 900, which. accord
ing 10 usual business methods and GUS
toms, should have been paid in cash.
Has it beeni By no means. The total
net imports OF gold were only about
s1O4,OOO,OOO leaving $500, OOO. 600
worth Of merchandise wholly unpaid
for 80 far as the official record dscloses
In other words We have apparently
given away merchandise to the value Of
$500, 100000. If we include silver the
showing is still worse, for the exports
exceed The imports $24,00o,o0o, aa-
ding that amount to our dead loss as It |
appears to be. Now comes the ques-
ton: How is il that We sold $780,. |
00O,0 more stufftha We have bought
and have only received 500, 00e. 900 or
less on the balance. There are two Of
plantations offered. The first is that
the money has been left to our credit
IL Europe, either for Investment, or
Tor us to draw against a. We need 1t.
Common sense forces the rejection OF
this explanation at once. 1t is alb
solutely unreasonable to believe, that
American money is seeking investment
n Europe. II left there for that pur-
pose it is still seeking" If it had
been actually invested Europe would
today present ascene Of almost unpar-
allied commercial and industrial actiy- |
ity. But SO far from this being true, /
every nation in Europe is complaining |
Of "hard times" or, at the best, Of dull |
business. There is no country in tn |
world that presents as many oppor-
tunities for development assths United
States, and if we could have command
cd that mouey We may be sure that il
would have been brought home. The
idea that it is left there lying idle, to
be "drawn against" is too absurd for
serious Consideration. The natural
thing. would be to bring it home, where
it can be drawn against more conven-
iently, aad invested il possibly. The
'ecoud explanation is that the money
has been ret of against inherent and
,thsr payments which we have to make
N Europe. This is undoubtedly true
nd when intellgsntly considered it'll
