THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

This balance of trade is a forbiddlng thing to write about. We believe the most vulnerable point in the policy of the Republican Party Is the tariff and in saying this we are willing to confess that the men who secured control of the Democratic Party in 1896 and dedicated the organization to the cause of debas- ed currency have so consistently pounded their idea into the heads of Democratic voters. that though these voters have been disillusioned on this point, to speak to them about the taxing system under which they are despoiled and robbed is to utter matter of

HILLS PLAN FOR PARKER.
He Makes a Denial Which Amuses Tammany Legislators.

Albany Special to Tribune.
 The general impression exists here that ex-Senator David B. Hill Is planning to force the hand of the State Committee, which assemblies next Saturday, by dic- ing Chief Judge Alton B. Parker for President. As soon as ex-Senator Hill heard that this story was afloat he issued manifesto denying 1t, and declaring that the State Committee would do noth- ing but fix the time and place of the State convention.
 EN-Senator Hills denial created con- siderable amusement among Tammany legislators, who professed to have had previous experiences with similar deniaIs. It is generally believed here that the State convention will meet in the same week with the Republican convention. that is, on or about April F.

"Old unhappy. far-off things, And battles long ago."

We have recently had in the Senate an illustration of the distance mems minds have travelled away from what was burning question during MT. Clevelands s last administration. Two of the best debaters in the Senate, one a Democrat and the other a Republican, engaged in a discussion of the reasons for the pros perity of this country, one contending that protection had made us rich and the other that free trade within the Union among an enormously energetic and en- terprising people had sent the country forward by leaps and bounds. They touched on imports and exports and then naturally upon the balance of trade. Both with child-like simplicity agreed that the sure test of sound international trade was that the exports far exceeded the imports. No fallacy has been more thoroughly exploded than this. That it is a fallacy was known and shown in every general tariff debate we have had since the constitution was adopted. We all knew the fallacy when the Wilson bill was debated and even so late as the enactment of the Dingley bill into law. These Senators knew then, too, that every ship load of our foods sent abroad in excess of the shiploads we got in return did not mean so much gain for us. The right notions have gone out of their minds because they have been absorbed in other and quite different problems. On the face of 1t, 1t would seem that the moro shipIoads of goods we received and the fewer we sent abroad the better off we should be. This is not so, either We must know the amount of our indebtedness to other countries, their indebtedness to us; the amount of
