by her niece, Miss Ellen Hatch.

What Caused the Hard Times.

The Lewiston Sun solemnly de-
clares that it was not the tariff but
currency that caused the hard times
Of 1893" The year 1893 was Pc
riod Of apprehension and consequent
depression among business men who
were not disposed to take chances
in the face of the declared intentions
of a new Democratic administration
controlling both branches of congress,
and outspoken in it's hostility to the
long established policy of protection
Panic conditions, however, and uni
versal hard times did not come until
the latter part of 1894, following the
passage of the Infamous free trade
Wilson bill, which closed our mills
and factories all over the land by put
ting them into competition with the
mills of Europe operated by cheap
labor. These hard times continued,
getting worse and worse until after
the passage of the Dingley law, since
when the country has enjoyed an era
of uninterrupted and unexampled
prosperity.-August Journal.

Seven Months of FOREIGN Trade.

Our purchases from foreign coun-
tries continue to increase in ratio
far greater than that Of our increases
of sales to foreign countries. For the
month Of July, 1907 our exports were
in value $12S,765,354, while our i'm
ports were 1924, 1854, 063, leaving an ex-
cess of exports of $4,O01,291. Here we
have the largest importation in any
July in the history of the country, to-
gether with the smallest monthly ex-
cess of exports in many years. At this
rate our trade balance of $47S,0O0, 900
would be reduced to $50,000,000 for
the year ending July, 1907.
For the seven months ending with
July the imports were $S76, 043,246, an
increase of $130,O91, 467, compared
with the corresponding period of 1906
Our exports for the seven months
were $1,069, 215,726, being an increase
over 1906 of $99,679,724, but a de-
crease in excess of exports amounting
to $36,411,7 43, as compared with the
first seven months of 1906.
These figures show that we are in
creasing our foreign trade rapidly,
but mostly in imports. They show a
steady decrease in our trade balance
that if continued would lecyc dis -.
debt to the rest of the world.
Whenever the excess of exports
falls below 100000, as it is GER
tain to do at the present ratio of pur
chases to sales, the actual money bal
ance will be against us.
Fully $400,000,000 is needed each
year to pay for carrying our outgoing
and incoming freights in foreign
ships; for interest and dividends on
foreign capital invested here; for
money spent abroad by American
travellers. and for money sent abroad
by our foreisn-born wage earners.
here; for money spent abroad by
American travellers, and for money
sent abroad by our foreign-born wage
earners.
Our national finances will, therefore,
cease to be on an easy basis when we
fail to sell at least 100000, 900 year
more than we buy.
For the first seven months of 1907
We are falling far below that figure.
If the same rate holds good for the
remaining five months of 1907 our
trade balance will have dropped to
about $330,O0O,OOO.
Yet the clamor for more foreign
trade" goes right on, and we have just
concluded trade agreements specifical-
ly designed to greatly increase our in
take of competitive goods from Ger
many, France and Great Britain. The
showing for seven months of 1907
locks as though we had best turn our
attention to restricting rather than en-
couraging the inflow of comparative
competitive commodities.

TARIFF AND WAGES
HOW THE VOLUME AND REWARDS
OF LABOR ARE AFFECTED.
Convincing Reasons Why the Man
Who Works for Wages Must Invarl-
ably Fare Better Under Protective
Tariff Than Under Free Trade Con-
ditions.

In the Labor World, August II, of
Newark and Jersey City, appears a
dignified, fair and truthful editorial,
entitled 1.-THE Reason Why" which
answers the question::
why should the man who works
for wages be in favor Of a protective
tariff"
1t Is an important question and one
we'll worthy of the attention given to
it by the Labor World. Printed in a
newspaper which so ably represents
the views and interests of many thou
sands of New Jersey wage earners,
the article should and doubtless will
have a wide reading. 1t Is healthy
wholesome sign when labor journals
of this class take up the question OF
the true relation of protective tariff
to work and wages. The Labor
Worlds exposition Is clear and con-
vincing. No fair-minded and intelli-
gent man can successfully confute it's
conclusion:
Low tariff always means low prices
for labor's products and low wages
for labor. A protective tariff always
means good prices for what labor pro-
duces and high wages for labor.
This is why the man who works for
wages should always be in favor OF
protective tariff"

Observation-Disclosures OF the Michigan
see reduction in the size of the gen.
eral conference of the denomination,
as was evidenced by the session at AL
bion. In the first place the present
membership, approximately 725, is not
in reality an unwieldly body, though
many do so claim. 1t is, in fact, little
bigger than the Presbyterian general
assembly. In the second place-and
this is the argument that generally
ranks first in the secret meditations OF
the parsons-a shrinkage in the size
of the supreme legislative body will
reduce the number of delegates from
the Michigan conference. This will
render it more difficult for the am
bilious minister or layman to struggle
upward into the eligible class. 1t les
sens each clergyman's chance for cleo
ton as general overseer, or bishop,
and every young parson has a secret
hope that he may some day preside
over annual conferences and hold the
fate of hundreds of fellow preachers
in his hand. The present delegation
of the Michigan conference consists OF
eight ministers and eight laymen. 1t
is further pointed out that the eight
or ten annual conferences that have
thus far gone on record have nearly
all turned the proposition down. These
are all small conferences which would
naturally favor the change from mo-
tives of self interest. Little interest
can be found in the proposition to
elect racial bishops" meaning negro
overseers, who shall preside over the
colored conferences of the denomina-
ton.

Quality Of Wheat Fair.

Wheat, according to the state crop
report, yielded IA bushels per acre on
an average in Michigan this year. The
quality was fair, the percentage being
81. Oats are estimated to yield Fl bush
els per acre, the quality being given at
80. Rye is estimated to yield IA BUSH
els. The condition of corn is reported
at rs per cent. beans at 80, potatoes
at II and cloverseed at &C. Beans and
potatoes lost nine points each in the
August crop report, as compared with
the July report. Dry, cold weather also
caused corn to fall two points. Corn
averages II in southern and central
counties. Beans average so in southern
counties and II in central. Potatoes
rate Is in southern counties, 70 in GEN.
trail; state, II. Live stock is reported
generally in good condition, except
that hog cholera is reported in few
localities.
