FOREIGN TRADE INFLUENCES
Comparisons, U'ith Conn
ment on Relation to PdnicS.

The foreign trade of the United
States has Increased five fold during
the period for which we have statis-
ties available; the first year being
1856 and the last 1907, or in other
words 1t has increased from 5000
100000 TO $4,000, 100000 in round
figures. The record shows that for
the period from 1856 to 1873 we
imported more than we exported in
every year but two, 1858 and 1862,
while the excess OF exports in those
years was trifling, only $S,672, 900
in 1858 and $l.313,S00 in 1862.
The war of the rebellion had every
thing to do with this condition. The
first very large balance of imports
was in 1864 and from then until
and including 1873 we had heavy
balances against us, the largest be-
ing In 1872. The exports of cotton
We're cut off during the war so far
as the country as a whole was con-
cerned. and the proceeds wasted in
the war expenses OF the confederacy.
while for many years after the close
of the war, the south was unable
10 produce a full crop. The yield
as late as 1869 was but 3.011 600
bales as against 5,3S7,000 in 1853.
The figures for foreign trade do not
include either gold or silver and
refer To merchandise only. The
period from 1864 TO 1873 inclusive
WAS also one in which we exported
more gold than We received without
a single exception.
II Is not strange that after such
state of affairs and taking into
consideration the enormous loss of
property incidental to the war, that
the period ended in violent panic.
high premium for gold and the
suspension of specie payments. We
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-05-04

finally resumed specie payments and
started on forward movement
which gave us the greatest and most
rapid development known in the his
tory of nations. The period from
1874 20 1892 was the reverse of
what had gone before and only in
three of those years did we import
more than We exported. The year
1893 showed an excess of imports
over exports, and the panic started
in that year, but ii could not he laid
to an excess of imports over exports
for the amount was not large in
1893, and we had long succession
of favorable foreign trade balances.
The panic was the aftermath of the
period of imitation of credit and dis
honest financing of railways, as well
as an honest but i'll advised build
ing based too much on credit. The
attack on the integrity of our
currency than came into play and
prolon ged the period of depression.
The end of the depression like in
the 1873 period came with the
restoration of confidence in our
currency and the absolute knowledge
that We were determined to main
tain the gold standard. We then
commenced another movement for
ward which brought the greatest
prosperity ever known. We have
not had balance of imports over
exports since 1893, and during this
this time have exported merchandise
having value of $3.50, COS, 0S7 in
excess of what we have imported.
We have also in the same period
imported s314,02S,60S gold more
than we have exported. We give
the figures of excess imports or ex-
ports for the past fifteen years in
the following table:
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-05-04

Ii will be seen that the largest
balance was in 1901, when we had
the boom which ended with the IA
nous Northern Pacific panic and
when We imported on balance only
an Insignificant amount of precious
metal. The probabilities are that we
shall exceed this amount in the fiscal
year ending with next June. The
first nine months, as will be seen,
give us a balance of $97 ,557,SS6 less
than in 1901. but the excess OF ex-
ports in March was $52 .2S3,74S and
il would only take an average of
about 100000 for April, May
and June to make the 1908 fiscal
year show the largest trade balance
in our favor We have ever had. Yet
after this record we are in the midst
of depression as severe almost as
during the 1893 to 1896 period II
expansion of credits prior to 1898
there was over expantion of credits
prior to 1907, but there has not
been fear of our currency as there
was in 1873 and again in 1898 We
have had, however, attacks on some
of the greatest industries of the
country in place of that on our
just as the attacks on our currency
did. The end Will come with the
restoration of confidence in our
currency after the 1873 and 1898
panics.

steel industry that ultimately this
must come. 1t has already been
forced In many cases and almost ev-
cry day one reads of reductions here
and there. II may not be correct to
say that this readjustment has as yet
been completed any more than it is
safe to assume that the liquidation
of commodities has been completed
until steel prices are lowered, but IL
is certain that We are passing through
the final stages.
IL is obvious that If labor is to ac-
eept smaller wage that the cost of
living must also come down, and 1t
would be one of the greatest and
most beneficial achievements If
through lower cost of materials, la
Dor and all the necessaries of life.
we could get on n solid rock founda-
ton, Tariff changes are evidently to
come as the sentiment all over the
country is running very strong in
that direction. The people are tired
of paying more for goods in this
country than can be purchased at
abroad, feeling that the tariff in
products where this is the case, must
give the manufacturer an unreason-
able profit on what he sells at home
which the American consumer must
pay The iron and steel trade is a
case in point and certainly no manu-
facturer could ask for a greater adj
vantage than is possessed by our own
plants in the low cost of raw mate
rial and proximity to the best mar
ket for the products there is on the
earth. These considerations must all
come in when the question of wages
is under discussion and we believe
all our people now agree that the
tariff as 1t stands has many consist
encies and practically grants special
privileges. 1t will be best in the long
run for the reimbursement to go all
along the line and rid us of fictitious
prices in all Boston

NEW YORK. May 2.-Bradstreet's
says today:
Weather conditions have been un-
favorable TO distributive trade this
week, and rather quiet trade is re-
ported the country over. Jobbing
trade has remained quiet, with bust
ness confined to small filling in or
ders. Fall business has shown no
particular increase in activity and
orders are still scarce. The DISPOSE
ton seems 10 be to let the jobber
carry the goods, and manufacturers
are likewise disinclined to make up
stocks ahead of orders. Collections
are still slow, and extensions asked
for or granted are still feature.
Thus far the Industrial output shows
little or no disposition to expand.
Curtaiment is still the feature in
textile lines. and some leading cen
tiers reported production 40 per cent
off the normal. Foreign trade is
quiet as a whole. but some improve
ment is reported in export demand
for cereals after the smallest week s
shipments i'm two years.
The best points in the situation
are the more cheerful feeling as to

REIMBURSEMENT NEARLY COM
PIETED.

The decline in the price OF cotton
is reminder that we are passing
through the last stage of the depres-
sion. The first liquidation always
takes place In securities. then in bus
mess, then commodities and finally
labor. The liquidation in the FIRST
was SO spectacular and thorough that
all from personal experience or OBJ
seryation will remember IL for long
time The liquidation in business
has been gradual but none the less
effective and thorough. The state
ment issued by the clearing house OF
New York was instructive and proba-
bly, that of similar nature for other
money eenters would show the same
conditions. II appears that 1928 per
cent of the securities deposited with
the clearing house to secure the issue
of certificates or $500, 100000, was
commercial paper leaving only 2S.OS
per cent of stocks and bonds or wat
may be termed Wall street securi-
ties. Ii is fair to infer from this that
the relief required by the commercial
communities was in like proportion.
1t Is evident that the speculative sit
ed before the panic took place.
II Is hoped that the country at
large will study these figures for they
will open the eyes of the average
man to the real importance and use
fulness of our great financial center,
and show that after all speculation
is only one of many factors in the
real Wall street The liquidation in
general business has proceeded or
DERBY but persistently since the panic
and the record of bank clearings.
railway traffic and bank reserves
shows that it too, has been thorough.
The liquidation in commodities has
also been progressing and Just as the
drastic decline in the price of copper
marked the beginning of the move
ment IL is quite fair to assume that
the current break in cotton Will mark
the end The planter in the south
as well az some merchants has now
found that his glee over the troubles
brought on Wall street by radical ut
terances and legislation were not so
funny after all, and that he too, must
stand his share of the loss which al
ways follows destruction of conf
dence. The steel industry is trying
the plan of maintaining prices but
ultimately 1t will fall in line with the
general readjustment.
II is certainly strange that the few
concerns which have proved their
ability to so control this industry that
prices can be held in face of the pre-
vailing depression, are absolutely
free from criticism from Washington.
The liquidation in labor has been go
ing on Notwithstanding that it too
has been fighting natural readjust-
ment to the new conditions. Ii has
been the policy of large employers of
labor to reduce the number of men
and the number of working days and
hours rather than wages wherever
possible. The railways in particular
have followed this rule and by doing
so have escaped strikes, II seems to
be inevitable, however, just as in the
