1.-THE only thing we could do imme-
diately is to promote our industries
and expand our foreign trade, so
that we might divert some of our
farming population to the factories.
But here again we encounter obstacles
and barriers in the form Of prohi-
bitive tariffs and various restrictive
laws adopted by other nations, in
spite of the undisputed fact that our
goods are welcomed and eagerly sought
by the peoples of the countries to
which they are exported. This is
especially true in the case of the
colonies governed by the Western
powers.
However, we must exercise patience
and keep on negotiating in a friendly
spirit. We are confident that in the
end we shall have a better hearing.
The fact that in America and England
there are not few forward looking
men, who recognize the injustice in
the present distribution of resources
among the nations, encourages us in
taking this sanguine view"

per cent, of total of $53,526,00O.
Delaware Leads States.
Delaware led all States in the pro-
portion of relief cost, paying 40.6 per
cent of the total Of $5.194000, while
local areas provided for 1879 per cent
Of the relief burden.

calities bore more than 25 per cent of
the total expenditure. Vermont fol-
lowed Connecticut, and then in order

compared with 81 ,065, ,0O4,451 In 1884

the delay in getting the program under
way, $685., ,930,O85 was spent to taper

varied from 100000 in Delaware to
$685., 100000 in New York. In all

more Of the total, but the cost of relief
in those States was less because of the
