Is CYRUS A FIXTURE?

what The Advocate has held all along
as being fit and proper.

more equitable basis. In both Ken

OUR ENORMOUS ANNUAL
BALANCE OF TRADE

Washington. D. c., Nov. 22-George
Paish, editor of the London Statist, in
a monograph written for the National
monetary commission, says:
In the fiscal year .190S-9 the mer-
chandise exports of the United States
exceeded the merchandise imports by
1851, 600. 600. The exports of gold and
silver exceeded the imports by $780,
600, 900. making total excess of SAIL,
100000. This excess the author ac-
counts for on the basis of the follow
ing estimates: Interest, $3.50, 900. 900;
tourist expenses, s17OO0O0OO; remit
tances TO friends. s15O.OOO,O0O; freight.
s25, 100000; a total of 1896, 900, 900. One
hundred and eighty-fOur million dol
lars. the sum by which the remittances
exceed the merchandise balance. was
Settled, the author states. by per-
manent or temporary investments of
capital in the United States. The
United States therefore requires an
annual excess of exports over imports
of nearly $500 600. 900 in order to set
tie her trade balance.

EXTRA FORCE FOR THE
POSTOFFICE CHRISTMAS RUSH.

Uncle Sam will be mighty busy at
the Ell Paso postoffice with the Christ
mas mail and therefore about p extra
clerks will be employed At present
there are 10 men on the eligible list
and another dozen will undoubtedly be
allowed, as there were % extra clerks
employed last year. These clerks are
given employment for about five days
during the heavy rush Of Christmas
mail This will entail an extra expense
Of about $1,000.
Old records which have been kept in
the basement of the federal building
since 1903 are to be destroyed next
week. it being the custom to destroy
old mail matter once each year. Moth
ing bearing a date later than 1903 will
be burned however, as the government
keeps records as long as there is any
possibility Of their being needed.
