It is reported that the catch of
Norwegian cod has been the poorest
and, consequently, the least profit
able financially, this season, in 100
years, thousands of fishermen not
having money enough to pay their

In consequence of these conditions
it will necessarily follow that there
will be a smaller quantity of cod liver

The Kansas City Convention.

The democratic national conven-
ton at Kansas City last week was a
grand affair, The writer was an in
terested spectator, and rejoices that
the work Was so we'll done. The can
didste for president and the platform
are without doabt the strongest and
best ever put before the people. The
candidate for vice president is not
our personal choice. Mr.. Stevenson
was vice president under Mr.. Cleve-
land, but four years ago worked with
and fought for Mr.. Bryan. Many
democrats felt that as the peoples
and free silver republican party were
given the president and the platform,
they were entitled to Qna place at
least. From their standpoint no
doubt they are right. The next cam
palgn on national issues will be enc
of principles, not men, hence it mat
ters not who is the candidate Acr
president or vice president, just so
the doctrines they eapouee are right.

The Water Supply.

Mr.. Royce last week dlscourses at
length on the water question as it
effects Phillipsburg. His story is
partly true, though much of it Is
based upon q wrong idea of facts.
When the latest addition to the plant
was put in, like all work of this char
acter. some delays were encountered.
Timbers for the dam were delayed,
although every possible effort was
made to get them, letters and tele-
grams were sent urging speed, but
floods, break downs and delay IN get
ting cars held back the work. When
the material did arrive, local work
men were employed to do the work,
which for the main part was we'll
done, little annoying repairs and re-
buildings were necessary, and when
the work was finally done, the good
Lord failed to send rain. For the
first time in the history of this section
no amount of rain has fallen on the
water shed drained by Deer Greek.
Heavy rains fell west and east Of that
section, but none where Deer Greek
was affected. The section west OF us
has been dry; even the Prairie Dog
has stopped running. No human be-
ing is responsible for this condition,
and no one regrets it more than the
writer. Oar idea is that the people
of the city should stand together and
try to work a way out. Several plans
have been suggested, and we know OF
parties who are ready to subscribe
for tests in various localities
for water. The way to make our city
a good one is by united action. Ne
feel confident that if the people will
act together that, Notwithstanding
the present discoursgiDg prospect,
We can pull out all right. So, for the
good of all, let Us work as a unit.

Balance of Trade.

Balance OF Trade.
The InUestor in discussing the ''bsl.
ence of trade" in favor of the United
States, says that the excess of exports
over imports is in a large measure
the interest, rent, dividends. etc,
which the people of the United States
have sent abroad to European absen-
tee landlords, to European owners Of
American mines and factories, and to
European investors IN American Sc
curities. This wealth, the InUeStor
asserts, has left this country forever.
and no return of any kind will ever
come. Continuing, the InUestor says:
Years ago an English lord bought
a very large area of land in Illinois.
In whatever form wealth was sent
over to pay for them it would figure
in our imports, adding to the wealth
of the country. It is said that the
yearly rents from this land now ex-
ceed the original purchase price.
These rents figure in our exports.
They are part of the balance of ST.
400, 100000 which is called q balance
in our favor. Evidently the nation
was enriched by the wealth which
bought the estate, this is, by imports,
and it is impoverished by the rents
which are sent out as exports. The
bulk of this favorable balance of
trade" is made up of the similar pay
ments to foreign creditors, and to q
very large extent 1t consists of rents
sent out of the country to satisfy the
demands of foreign landlords. In
terest on stocks and bonds owned by
foreigners, rents paid to absentee
landlords in Europe, and exported
cargoes that are lost at sea, all help
to swell 'the balance of trade in our
favor"
This is a view that merits serious
consideration. It has been thought
that the large investment of foreign
capital was a good thing for couH-
try. But is it? Has it been q good
thing for India? While the charIts-
bly, inclined people of the whole civil
lied world are STRIVING to relieve the
millions of starving inhabitants OF
India, England, it Is said, is drawing
81, 100, 100000 annually from the pow
erty stricken-yes, famine stricken
country, for interest, rent and taxes.
Are the people of India any better
off are they as we'll of as they were
before weak and vain ruler of the
country was induced by English cap
ltalists to borrow five hundred mil
lions from them? And thus, while
enriching themselves. they drove the
entering wedge and created an en-
trance through which England en-
tered and eventually secured the as
cendancy in that country of teeming
millions. So long as we must send
hundreds of millions abroad annually
to pay interest and rent on foreign
capital invested IN this country the
larger the balance of trade in our IA
vor, the better it Is for us; but we
should seriously consider the adVisa-
bility Of encouraging more foreign
capital to come to this country for in
vestment.-St Louis Furniture News.
