U. S. Position Suffers.
1.-THE position of the United States in
Italy's import trade has suffered dur
ing the past year. In terms of values
We sold Italy almost so per cent less
goods during the first nine months of
1881 as compared with 1880. A good
part of the loss may be written off to
the decline in prices. Nevertheless, our
relative position in the trade has been
reduced In 1880 we still occupied first
place as a purveyor of goods to Italy
with 1872 per cent Of the total i'm
ports, followed by Germany with II
per cent. During the first nine months
of 1881 Germany stepped up to first
place with 1212 per cent, while We took
losses are to be attributed largely to re-
duced imports of wheat, cotton and
lumber"
In conclusion Miss Humes offers the
following ray of hope. Italians like
Americans and like doing business with
them" she says. Both our products
and our straight forward business meth
DDS are appreciated in Italy. The
country Is pro-American and it would,
indeed. be unfortunate if the positions
gained by our trade should be aban-
doned. There is still business to be
had in Italy"

VIRGINIA BILLBOARD
BILL FAILS TO PASS.
Delegates Vote Down Reid
Measure to Put Tax on
Road Signs.
BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, March 5.-Despite
its engrossment yesterday by vote Of
40 to 80, Delegate Hugh Reid's billboard
bill was defeated in the House of Dele
gates this afternoon by vote of AZ to
"a, with "a members registered as not
voting. Measures designed to regulate
and tax outdoor advertising signs have
met with like treatment at the last
several sessions of the General As
sembly.
When the matter came up today
Delegate Reid asked that it be passed
by until Monday, claiming that it was
unfair to vote on the bill with so many
members absent, due to the Saturday
session. Opponents objected.
Supported by Moffett.
The bill was supported by Delegate
w. Stuart Moffett of Staunton, who
heretofore has been opposed to bill
board legislation. In a speech before
the House he declared that the Reid
bill was the most reasonable regulatory
measure ever introduced on the subject.
TheSe signs have glutted our high
ways, many of them being placed with
out the permission of property owners, -
he said.
Delegate Wilson w. Vellines of Nor
folk, billboard operator, and Delegate
Daniel Coleman, also Of Norfolk, led the
opposition. Vellines declared that the
measure Disseminated against the small
operator in that it would have practi-
cally abolished the small metal signs
that are tackled up along the roads.
The garden clubs, he said, mean well,
but do not give enough thought to the
people who make their business from
the manufacture and operation Of such
signs.
Moffett replied that If Vellines con-
tinues to oppose all measures designed
for the regulation or taxation of bill
boards that he will eventually find him.
self run out of business altogether.
Required 81 Votes.
Reid stated this afternoon that il
would have been impossible to have the
measure passed with "a members not
voting because the bill carried a tas
provision and therefore required 81
votes to pass.
Delegates Reid and E. H. Allen, the
latter representing Fairfax County
were the only Northern Virginia mem,

PARTY HARMONY IS
| SOUGHT BY FARLEY
IN JERSEY SPEECH
Democratic Chairman Says G.
o. P. Disappointed by Soil
darity of Opponents

Spring Lake, N. j., July 21.-P)-
James A. Farley, chairman Of the
Democratic national committee. in his
first speech of the 1882 presidential
campaign Thursday, asked for party
harmony and attacked the Republican
platform as an instrument of mean
ingless platitudes and jughandled
paragraphs.
Addressing the New Jersey Demo-
cratic state committee, Farley men
toned the fight of Alfred E. Smith
against the candidacy Of Franklin D.
Roosevelt and added that the one
hope of the opposition was that our
sturdy warriors would nurse
their disappointment and sulk in their
tents during the campaign"
"You know and I know" he said
"the futility of any such expectation
One by one, without exception, the
chiefs of the forces that fought
franklin D. Roosevelt's nomination
have come forward and saluted the
victor and pledged themselves to his
support"
The chairman said the Roosevelt
forces had been prepared to support
the party nomination in the event
they lost.
He denied that any political trades
were made at the convention, sale
nobody had been promised cabine
places, ambassadorships or anything
else.
Other excerpts of Mr.. Farley's adj
dress:
mo small part of the revulsiol
against the Hoover administration i
due to the feeling of the people tina
they have been tricked, bamboozle
and led astray by declarations frame
so that every school of thought coul
interpret them according to their ow
desires. To this day the country doe
not know where President Hoove
stands on prohibition, on the tariff
or on any other controversial ques
ton.
Perhaps it is unfair to say that tn
Hoover administration produced tn
economic catastrophe, but 1t certain
is no more unfair than was the re
. iteration in every campaign up to tn
J present one that the nation pros

Frustrated under Democratic rule
