Pouring It In.

Uncle Sam is now annually
pouring money into the lap OF the
rest of the world. In other words,
the flow is no longer in the direc-
ton of the United States, from
abroad. 1t is in the direction of
the rest of the world, from the
United States. The balance of
trade on the face of things is still
in favor of the United States.
That is, the statistics of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
show that we are exporting more
than we are importing. Figures
recently given out by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor
showed the excess of exports over
imports was S1S7, Iii, 349. This,
however, is an extremely small
excess, the lowest in recent years.
But the small balance of trade
in our favor, as shown by the
figures, is much more than count
erbalanced by the fact that large
sums of money go out annually
from America which are not in
cluded in the term of exports.
These sums go mainly to Europe.
They consist OF the following:
money expended by American
tourists travelling abroad; money
sent abroad to pay interest on
American securities held there;
money sent abroad by persons of
foreign birth living in the United
States who contribute to relatives;
money paid to foreigners for
transportation.
Estimates as to the totals of
these items vary widely. But it
is said from good authority that
from $500, 200, 900 to $3.50, 100000 is
carried abroad and left there by
American tourists; about as much
more is sent abroad for interest,
and perhaps $500, 1000, 900 is sent
by those of foreign birth in this
country who give to relatives and
friends abroad.

amendment, and find it all right,
and if the people ratify it, which
no doubt they will do, the effect
will be to levy one.fifth additional

most unfortunate indeed if
through a mere clerical error the
voters of this State had baen pre-
vented from providing the funds
so urgently needed for the relief
of the survivors of the Confeder-
ate army.

Probably the greatest disap-
pointment over the result of the
census enumeration of 1910, so
far as announced, fall to the lot
OF Adams County, Ill. 1t appears
that the Illinois Legislature
enacted a law to the effect that if
Adams County could show a pop
ulation of 10000 under the Thir-
teenth Census it would be entitled
to p.oceed and elect a county
Judge. Adams County was glee-
ful, cock-sure and we'll satisfied
with the provisions. There was
probate-judgeship timber in
abundance and the job-printers
of the county reaped q rich har.
vest printing publicity stuff of the
various candidates who announce
ed themselves. The Twelfth Gen.
sus officially gave Adams County
a population of $4,000 in round
numbers and itappeared to every
one having an eye on the judge
ship. that it was q "cinch" the
enumeration of the county in 1910
would show at least a gain of 5000
# rot very much more. But it
did not and Oh cruel, cruel world,
officials of the Census Bureau an
nounce that according to their
figures only 64,588 people reside
ia Adams County in this year of
Our Lord 1910. Therefore no pro-
bate Judge for Adams County and
the Adams countyites are stunned.
Its up to them now to follow the
Biblical instruction to Ego forth
and multiply" if they hope to win
out on the judgeship proposition.
