when these change materially the tar

Free Trade BIunderfnq.

Edward j. Shriver, in the Free
Trade Broadside,'' makes the blunder
of asserting that within the past
eight or ten years we have exported
as much as 5,000,000,000 more than we
have imported, and that for a period
of so years there has been d sub.
stantial favorable balance on our for
eign trade" His error consists in fail
ing to note wha. some of his school
OF thinkers haY. agreed to designate
as invisible imports and exports, be-
cause they do not appear in custom
house reports of foreign trade.
When these are taken into considera-
tion the assumed balance of trade
shrinks very materially; still il has
been large enough during recent
years to put us in better shape to
draw upon foreigners than we were
during the years of Cleveland's last
administration Mr. Shriver evidently
does not believe that this is the case.
He thinks that the United States

manage to, share in. this p~rodigality,
and bit by bit he finds out. They tell
him funny stories of transactions
which, reduced to a proper financial

simple, or, at best, plain gambling.
Everyone does it, they say, its
