advocates OF reciprocity treaties than
any arguments have been able to
produce" The story quoted is that OF
a merchant In a small New England
town who kept little store whose
chief patrons were children. The
shopkeeper wishing to stimulate bust
ness and to establish reciprocal rela-
tons with his little customers, pro-
ceeded to distribute gratuitously
among them one hundred pennies.
The result was a marked increase in
business activity. He distributed an
other dollar in the same way. Result,
more briskness. When, however, he
came to take stock and count the
money in his till, he found that the
money had not increased percepibly
while his stock of candy and trinkets
had materially diminished. AS he
glanced at his depleted shelves and
thoughtfully rubbed his head, he re-
marked: Gee whiz! There wasn't
much profit in it; but there amt no
denying that it made trade mighty
brisk while 1t lasted" That little an
ecdote might furnish food for thought
on the part OF those who so strenuous
ly advocate the employment Of artfi-
cial means for the extension of for
eign trade.

THE PUZZLE OF ECONOMISTS
Free Traders Would Reduce Trade Bal

ances by Importations.
The newest puzzle for those who are
called economists is the outcome of
the Republican policy which, in three
years. has enabled us to sell the rest
of the world s1,S19, S25,S19 more than
we purchased during the three years
which ended June 80, 1900. to which
must be added 10000, 900 for the ifs
cal year which will end with next
June. After they have accounted for
all of this cash debt which the rest
of the world owes or has owed us,
they find that large portion of 1t has
not been paid, but has been loaned
abroad Economists, as they are
called, often arrive at peculiar con-
illusions, but thus far no one of them
has expressed the opinion that Amer
leans are giving foreigners the world
over hundreds of millions of dollars
annually. The puzzle is, how is Eu-
rope to liquidate the indeterminate
amount of money standing to our
credit? One of them, who is Free
the volume of our exports can be
maintained is to so adjust our Tariff
that Europe can liquidate much
larger portion of the favorable trade
balance by selling us merchandise
which we are now manufacturing at
home in sufficient quantities to abund-
antly supply the home market. This
means that we must close our rae
tories of certain lines of merchandise
and turn their employees to idleness
and their families to want in order to
enable foreign nations to pay the
trade balance in merchandise. That
would be economics with vengeance.
There is reason to believe that there
is no present cause for fear about the
inability of Europe to pay us what 1t
owes During nearly hundred years
the trade balance of the world was
against the United States. 1t was not
large amount each year, but 1t was
from $15,000,000 to $5O,OOO,OOO an
nually-enough to drain all the bull
lion the country produced and much

upon the contribution of this country
to the worlds stock of precious metals
made money scarce and the rates of
interest much higher than those of
Europe. For years we purchased most
of our iron, woolens, glass, crockery,
etc., in Europe, and paid them out OF
the money. stock and materials that
should have been kept at home. Now
the situation has changed. Under the
Republican policy the country came
to produce in abundance the articles
we used to make an adverse balance
of trade by buying. For years we
paid high rates of interest on this
amount. of our Indebtedness for goods
purchased abroad over the value of
those we sold. Then we were debt
or nation and paid the penalty OF such
disadvantage, and would be paying it
now if the ,self-styled economists
could have their way. Now we have
become the worlds creditor nation.
If our debtors cannot pay at once let
them pay interest. as did the United
States indianapolis Journal.

The most unfortunate thing in the

whether or not the plague exists keeps
officials in other states in doubt and
is very unfortunate thing. The Uni
