Generous Offer.

Editor Of The Times:
The generous act OF the electric car lines
in offering free rides to the little sick chill
dren, whose parents are unable to give
them even this comfort, has suggested the
idea that if the City Mission, to whom
these tickets will be sent will furnish a
list of those who are entitled to these
tickets, Lee Camp Auxiliary will undertake
to engineer an ..all-day' to Seven Pines Or
Forest Hill. if agreeable to the City Mis-
sion and Relief Association. Feeling as

TRADE BALANCES.

Some years ago when a cry went UP
from timorous Englismen that the prosper
ity of England was doomed because they
were obviously importing more than they
were exporting, and that, therefore, the
balance of trade must be against them,
Mr.. Bagehot, the celebrated statistician,
made a short answer that could not fail to
satisfy even the most fearful. His an
swer consisted in this: That there is no
the English people have money enough in
vested in foreign property, from which
they receive dividends, to balance the loss
that by the laws of trade they are making
every year, in that they import more than
they export, for their income tax IS stead
lily producing moro revenue And If
mans or nations income is yearly increas-
ing, there is no use in protesting that he is
growing poorer. Now, America is faced
with proposition that is also interesting,
only ours is the reverse of the English
proposition. The query with us is whether
we are getting rich by our foreign trade,
and if not, what is becoming Of the big
difference between our exports and our
imports each year? This balance that is
not accounted for amounts to some two or
three hundred million dollars a year. Its
non-payment is explained in many ways
One, that we are paying dividends in large
quantities to foreign holders Of american
securities, and that a large portion OF this
balance is used to iquidate the sales made
in America, of securities held abroad. Il
has, however, been pointed out in the last
year. Wall Street shows no great liquida-
ton of foreignJheld securities. A large
part of this sum is probably accounted for
by the carrying charges of Great Britain,
travellers. It will, however, be interesting
to see what the balance in our favor will
be this year, and how its non-payment will
be accounted for. The total foreign COM
merce OF the United States during the
fiscal year for 1900. says the New York
Evening Sun, will exceed by l6 2-S per cent.

greater than that of 1885, which, up to that
time, had been our record-breaking year
for foreign commerce. The imports for
1900 increased largely, but they were espe-
cially of the class known as articles in q
crude condition. which enter into the va
rlous processes of domestic manufacture.
This means that America is advancing rap
idly In the manufacturing field. and is i'm
porting the crude articles. which She later
exports as manufactured products. One

fartured exports alone over the record

SOME MEMORIES.

Yesterday was the anniversary OF the
arst battle of Manassas, which instituted
the greatest contest of arms that the
worll has ever known. Indeed, all other
wars dwarf into petty bar-room brawls s

idea and a principle. and marching up to
its duty in maintaining that idea
as no soldier ever stood IN line of
battle, and that accepted death with the
heroism AMI the cheerful surrender to it
chat the Confederate soldiers did. The
poetry of the struggle Is coming more and

OF these days a Macaulay shall write the
story of the sacrifices and heroism of the
4nen,s women and children OF the Con-
federacy, it will take its place among the
epics of the world
Fortunately the material for this story
has been folly ana carefully preserved.
The United States Government has pub
lished all of the records of both sides and
the entire history of the four years of the
war is thus authenticity preserved.
And it may be remarked here in pass
ag that the greatest tribu q that future s.
aoriar.s will find TO the glorious battles OF
the Confederate soldier and the genius of
the Confederate generals, will be taken

which took place at Atlanta on Thursday,
last, at the meeting of the Blue and the
Gray. We have never favored unions OF
this kind. and the unlucky contretemps

This Will always DE said at all meetings
OF Confederate soldiers. and 1t is of itself
a sufficient reason why there should be no
reunion of the Blue and the Gray. Let
the Federal soldiers have their reunions
and celebrate the memories of their dis
tisguished men as much as they please,
hut they must concede TO us the similar
privilege. and when they come to an Old

fortune to get an able faculty. and some
day finds itself with few alumni whose
public spirit makes them desire to help
along thar alma mater. These men found
chairs, and make donations that attract
more students. And the college grows In
geometric ratio. Such has certainly been
the case in the great Northern universities,
where every effort has been made to ac-
centuate and increase love of the alma
mater. and the desire to increase the power
and efficiency Of the college We do not be-
Neve that with the growth Of wealth in the
South, the University OF Virginia will ind

gifts and devises as it has bean heretofore.
Our correspondent must never forget the
poverty of the men who have constituted
almost the entire number Of students in the
University of Virginia, and who, since their
departure, have been unable. rather than
unwilling, to help along their alma mater.
Much has been left undone that could have
been done. Much has been attributed to
poverty that more properly belongs to sell
fishness and laziness, but from whatever
cause the University may have suffered
in the past, we believe that she is destined
to be the great university Of the South,
and in her will the aspirations of those
who love education be centralized, not by
the power of the State. but from the efforts
Of the individual.

GOLD SAMPL|Na ROOMS
Gders to Close Them Received
Yesterday.
A BLOW TO PRODUCERS
EDICT GOES INTO EFFECT ON
OCTOBER FIRST.

The gold sampling rooms of tba
American Smelling & Refining com
pany in this city viii be permanentlv
closed on the 1st day of October. Such
is the edict issued from HEADQUARTERS
at Argentine, Kan, and from it there
is no appeal. The official order came
in a communication to Manager Moore
yesterday and IVES issued by General
Manager H. r. S'pps of the chief
works at Argentine.
The reason given for closing tho SsaI+
Lake branch was that with the old
AercUP, Geyser-M Marion, Daisy and
other former shippers out of the list
and particularly the Mercur, the small
margins of profit would not warrant
the further maintenance of the esta h
lishment at this point. The manager
here was. therefore, instructed to no.
tify all patrons OF the action taken and
al the same time advise them that all
consignments sent in during September
would be received and settled for as
heretofore. but after that other ar
rangements would necessarily have 20
be made. Shippers will be notified dur
ing the next few days and. advised that
the company will be glad to serve them
from headquarters.
The order will not only leave the
force employed at the sampling rooms
here without employment, but il will
work a great inconvenience on the
producers of cyanides, who will here
after be compelled TO ship their prod
Uct to Argentine or some other distant
point but it will also result in their
having to wait longer for their returns
an item of serious moment to the
small operator.
Those Immediately concerned in the
order and who are regular shippers at
the present time are the following:
Northern Light. of Lion Hill; Sacra-
mentO and Chloride Point of Mercur:
the Dexter, Of TuscarOra. New; the
Chairman company, Ely. New: the
Lucky Boy, of Custer Ida; the Idaho
Reduction company and the Montana
& Denver Reduction company. In adj
dition to these is the Star of Pine can
yOn. Bingham. and one or two Cali
fOrnia and Nevada concerns which
send in COnSignmentS Occa SionaIIy
Prospective cyanide producers who will
be affected are the Overland company
of Marcur. soon to start up: the Horse
shoe company which has just put its
mill into commission at Deer Lodge
New: the Century Co ,pany, with its
mill at Park Valley. and several other
plants. either in course of construction
or being arranged, both in Utah and
Nevada.

to even guess UNDERSTANDING but il
would seem that one of two things
must haDpen-either a new concern
