SCHOOLING.

AS a boy young William Mckinley went for
few years to the village school at Niles. Then
the family removed to Poland. in Mahonlns
the county between Trumbull and COumbiana.
in order that he and the other children might
enjoy the advantages of a high school in that
town In both institutions William showed him.
self a solid and thorough rather than snowy
student He already had leaning toward ar
gument and oratory and was prominent fis-
ure in all schoolboy debates At Poland there
was a literary society and debating club. and or
il he was for some time president. The story is
told that the boys and girls saved up their
spending money until they had enough to buy
carpet for the meeting room of the club. They
purchased at a neghboring carpet store what
they deemed an exceedingly handsome fabric.
It's groundwork was green and its ornamental
ton gorgeous golden wreaths. The society
unanimously decided that no boots should ever
profane that sacred carpet, and the girl mem
beers. therefore. volunteered to knit slippers for
all the members To wear. Unfortunately, the
slippers were not ready for the first meeting.
and so all the members who attended. and the
visitors too required 10 put off their shoes
from their feet. and listen TO the debate shod
only in stockings. the debaters themselves did
likewise and young Mckinley presided,over the
meeting in his stocking feet
At the Poland Academy Mckinley was pre-
pared TO enter college. and at the age of sixteen
he was matriculated at Allegheny College
Meadvie Penn. Scarcely was he well started
in his studies there, however. when he fell Ill
and was compelled To return home. When his
health was restored he found himself thrown
largely on his own resources. The hard times
of the Buchanan Administration had caused his
father some embarrassment in business, and
Justice to the rest of the family made 1T neces-
sary for William at least partially to support
himself He therefore took TO school teaching
in a district school near Poland. He got 80

BIG TRADE BALANCE.
THE PERMANENcE OF M'klNLEY
PROSPERITY is SHOWN.
Exports will Exceed the Imports by
$7OO,OOo,O0O, Being Ten Times the
Total for l%s96-some Great Ameri.
can Cargoes Go Out.

President McI[inley's reputation as
the advance agent of prosperity is not
likely to be dimmed by the trade re-
ports of this year. On the contrary,
the figures show that the United States
is driving ahead by leaps and bounds.
The balance of trade, after reaching
figures which astonisled the world,
stood still and then receded q little, but
now it has jumped enormously.
For this part of the fiscal year, with
three months yet to hear from, the bal
ance of trade in favor of the United
States is over $780, 600, 600, and at the
present rate the balance for the year
will be nearly, if not quite. $70O,O00,-
coo Oh the right side of Uncle SANS
ledger.
The figures up to March 81, just fin
ished, are so stupendOus as to stagger
one. For the first nine months of this
year the exports of merchandise from
the United States amounted to $1,14O,.
17O.72S, while the imports We're $500.
4S3.391 This means Il favorable bal.
ance of trade of $540,6S ,3337. This sum,
enormous as it is, measures the fact
that the United States has sold 10 for.
eign nations just that much more tnan
it has bought from them.
This balance is SIPS. 6T1 larger
than for the same period last year. The
exports have increased ~$S6,5I0,O32.
while the imports have decreased $42,-
292.639. Nations have generally meas
ured their prosperity by their foreign
trade, and hence President Mckinley is
delighted over the fact that while our
trade balance for the twelve months
ending on March 81 is $6773,3774,5G9, the
balance for the anne twelve months
ending in 1896. the year he was elect
ed, was only $5%S.G40,3a55. Thus it will
be seen that the trade balance is now
ten times what 1T was before his cleo
ton.
This startling gain in the balance of
trade is not due to the cutting off of
imports owing to the operations of the
high tariff. but comes from the wonder
full development of the export trade,
which jumped from $500. 731. 7O7 for
the year ending March 81, 1896, to ST.
4S1 .023.114 for the current twelve
months. a gain of $G1S,2 D1, 4O7.
When these figures are extended to
the year ending June 80. 1891.
they will be used by the President in
his next message to Congress to point
With pardonable pride TO the wonderful
record of the last fiscal year of his frs,
administration.
