realize that America wants no territory,

London Times Calls Attention to
Great Excess of EngInnd's Inn
ports Over Her Exports.

ports over Her Exports.
London, Jan. 3O--The Times, in an edi-
torial dealing with an imp rtant and per-
picking question of the true significance,
the excess in value regularly exhibited by
Engiand's imports over her exports, es-
pecial.y looking to the fact that during
the last three and ha.f years The United
States have exported f4OO, 900 more mer-
chandise, gold and silver than they inn
ported, says:
ut Is not easy, yet it is matter OF
the utmost moment TO ascertain whether
as "A nation we are still saving and living
within our income, or whether we are
beginning to live on the accumulated saw
ngs of former times. II the latter is cor
rect, the outlook is distinctly disquieting,
for the country's commercial future. Con-
s'dering that some three-fourths of the
American excess exports have come to
this country, II is very desirable 10 get ac-
curate and definite statistics as to our
invisible exports
"Mr. Gage has thrown out this idea OF
ascertaining the movements of securities
between the two countries. II is all the
more important for England, and tho
suggestions of fnancier of Mr.. Cages
experience should not be lightly set aside
as impracticable.'
