Adjustment of Trade.

The volume Of a country's trade quick
~ adjusts itself to the needs of that
country, and the effect of a sudden dis
turbing influence to trade, the author
states. can be got over by financial ope
ratiors In the great International money
markets without any excessive drain on
the precious metals. Movements of gold
and silver are brought about not SO much
by trade balances as by the currency
and banking needs of the various coun-
tries. II country needs gold. Mr.. Parish
maintains. il has no difficulty in buying
II, provided that its credit is good.
The lending country will receive pay
ment for the goods IL exports and also
for the interest upon the capital which
il has in former years invested in other
countries. Another factor which goes to
make up the trade balance of country
are the services given by countries pos
sessing great fleets of mercantile ships
to those countries which possess little or
no shipping. Great Britain's fleet renders
very valuable service to the whole world,
and a substantial part of the imports of
goods into the United Kingdom is re-
ceived in payment of the services thus
rendered The amounts expended by tour
lists must likewise be paid for by the ex-
portation of goods from the home coun-
try.

The Credit Of Nations by Francis
w. Hirst. is the title OF a volume just
published by the national monetary COM
mission to show the comparison of the
national debt of the United States with
the national debts of Germany, France
and Great Britain.
The same volume contains an article
by George Paish. editor OF the Statist,
reviewing the trade balance of the United
States
Tracing the national debt of the United
States from the time when 1t began by
reckless issues of paper money by the
colonies. Mr.. Hirst finds much to COM
mend and some things to condemn. In
the reduction of the civil war loans be-
tween 1880 and 1890 and the saving in in
terest of about $50. 100000 thereby the
author sees reflected the high credit Of
the United States. but in the financing of
1900. after the Spanish war, the author
criticises the Treasury for extending the
maturing bonds thirty years, which, he
says. put nearly $3.50 ZOO. 900 of the pub
lie debt beyond the chance of extinction
for nearly a quarter of a century except
by purchase in the open market. He
quotes one authority to the effect that
the loss to the government by that trans
action was enormous.
Review of Municipal Debts.
Reviewing the municipal debt. Mr..
Hirst declaref New York has suffered
much for its extravaganza. He says
there are few cases where any city of
standing in the United States has repu-
dated it's obligations.
After a review of the finances of Kan
sas City, Philadelphia. Boston, Chicago
and Richmond, the author declares the
high price of American municipal Sc
curities is due partly to the restrictions
on borrowing which the states impose.
In the article entitled THE trade bal
ance Of the United States" an explanation
of the factors which go to make UP a
countrys balance of trade prepares the
way for an analysis of the trade balance
of the United States. Mr.. Paish also re-
views the country's gold imports and ex-
ports. In his opinion the monetary strin-
gency at the time Of harvest could be
much relieved by the establishment Of
central institution of the nature of the
Bank of England.
The term trade balance" the author
explains, is generally used to Indicate the
excess value of a countrys exports of
merchandise over the value of it's inn
PORTS of merchandise or the excess value
of a country's imports of merchandise
over the value Of its exports of merchan-
disc.

WASHINGTON. June 2l.-The present
congress has appropriated $1,000, 900, 600,
OF which $40, 600 900 has been distributed
among IA southern states. This is only
one-fifteth of the total, and serves to
emphasize the manner in which the

ture of public money. The localities
comprised by these states contain one
fourth of the area of the entire country
The rivers and harbors bill, carrying
S55,c0O,OO0 for the improvement of rivers
and harbors gives only 81, 100000 to the
south, although the south has 1855 miles
of coast, which is twice as much as any
other section of the country.
AGRICULTURAL BILL. g.. e..
The agricultural appropriation bill dis
eliminates against the south to the ex-
tent of giving it only one-third the
amount Appropriated for the whole. The
public buildings bill is the only one in
which the south receives anything like
a just proportion of it's dues OF the 49,
100000 the bill carries. S,5OO.O0O go to
southern states.
Although congress has been lavish in
Its expenditures, II has sadly neglected
the public highways, in which the south
is particularly interested. Only S114,O
is appropriated for good roads, and this
to defray the expenses of an insignifi-
cant bureau In Washington. The re-
public of France expends annually $780,
100000 on public highways.
