in spite of the fact that when the

to man to know that his

Whatever a mans income, be 1t

WHAT AMERICAN TOURISTS
SPEND ABROAD.

In connection with the Seeing
America First movement it is pro-
per to examine certain new items
bearing on the by no means fresh
subject of American expenditures in
Europe. The question is discussed
every season." but this summer the
interest in it seems unusually keen.
Mr.. Hepburn, former comptroller
of the treasury and president of an
important New York bank. has made
the startling statement that Ameri-
can tourist expenditures abroad now
reach the. enormous sum of 100000
900 year" He assures us that sew
eral gentlemen who have special IA
cilities for obtaining trustworthy in;
formation on the subject agree with
him in this estimate, the most con-
sentative of them placing the total
at s4O0,0O0,00O.
But these estimates are vigorously
challenged by agents of tourist COM
panies and steamship lines. Tables
that practically cover all tourist trav-
el-as distinguished from emigration
and migration-between the Unit
ed States and the old world have re-
Gently been published in New York.
They show that in 1905 1900 "sa-
loon passengers and 100000 second
cabin passengers sailed from our ports
for points in the eastern hemisphere.
This year, 1.-The biggest year of Eur
opean travel" about 100000 saloon
passengers will Gross" the ocean
eastward, and the total, second-cabin
passengers added. may reach 100000.
To spend even the conservatives"
estimated sum, $400,000,000, each Of
these tourists would have to pay out,
torious, argue the agents, that tens
of thousands of Americans-teach-
ers, instructors, professional men OF
small means, business men of the
corresponding class, do not spend
nearly that amount There are men
and women who "go to Europe" for
few weeks on $500 or even less.
However, say that the amount
spent by American tourists abroad Ia
between $25o,OO0,OOO and 5000, O0O. 900,
as some of the steamship agents be-
lieve, what Gift" even that amount
means to Europe! Over half of our
huge favorable" trade balance is at
once accounted for by these expendi-
lures.
Now, travel abroad is highly edu-
cational and enjoyable. Delightful
essays have been written on its
pleasures and benefits. But travel in
ones own country. when it embraces
whole continent and includes every
kind of climate, many types of civil
ization and every sort of natural
beauty and grandeur, is Just as edu-
cational and pleasurable. At least a
part of the amount that goes into
European pockets might probably be
spent at home in travel.-Record-

REPUBLICAN SURPLUS SING &
1896,

Since the Republicans resumed na'
tional control in March, 1897, a little
more than nine years have been COW
red in the annual fiscal reports OF
the United States. The period en-
braces the time of the war with
spain and Panama canal expendi-
TIRES from cash on hand of about $7b,-
100000. The net surplus for the III
wears ended with last month Is $117.-
0s3.s63. Five of the years showed
surplus and five deficit, but the bal
anee when struck is emphatically
on the right side. The surplus Tor
the fiscal year just closed was w.
900. 1000, so the showing present aud
prospective, is highly favorable. In
the four years of the last Cleveland
administration, which was free from
wars and not marked by any costly
undertaking like the isthmian canal,
the net treasury deficit was $780,
470,O56. The contrast is striking,
Good politics pays. The people Will
have another huge account on the
wrong side If they carelessly DRIFT
into reactionary government.
Mr.. Bryan has not said what his
proposed certain reforms" are to be,
but he mas always been free trader,
and unless his views have changed
radically he will try to sweep away
every vestige of protection. He has
always opposed the protective prin'
ciple in any tariff schedule for any
purpose whatever. Fills most noted
speech in congress was against pro
lection, and he was identified with
the Democratic control of congress
that led up to the passage of the vii
SON German tariff slaw. This tarin
is a part of the history of the foul
Democratic years when there was 9
treasury deficit of $135,000,000. The
Republicans took hold, carried through
| a war costing hundreds of millions o.
dollars, made a general start with the
Panama canal, and yet can show {
treasury surplus for tLe Dingley Law
period of $117,00O,000. The figures
carry conviction. Good enough. Lee

Russell Sage was so old that myth
began to play tricks with his person
ality long before he or anybody else
ever realized that he would be called
upon to pay the common debt of NOR
tails. Parties, administrations, great
financial magnates, rose, fell and
were forgotten during the days OF his
activity. He was elected to congress
by the Wings several terms, but for
more than half a century the daisies
have been growing over the Wing
party's grave. He was in business
during the panic of 1897. back in the
days Of Martin Van Buren,. The ad-
vent of Fisk and his partner, Gould,
seems almost as remote as Jason and
the argonauts. Sage was In Wall
street long before Gould wrecked
Erie, and he was veteran operator
at the time that Fisk and Gould or
ganized the Black Friday gold bubble
which Grant burst. AT the darkest
hour OF the rebellion, when 1t took
$2.85 Of greenbacks to buy 81 in gold
