Balance Of Trade

Tlie question is often asked, what will be the result of thia inversión of the balance of trade, now against the United States? We are paying out money for European goods and as the interest on bonds and stocks of the United States held in Europe. Instead of this withdrawal of specie, if the products of the ■west had free access to the world's markets, we would be paying out wheat and corn, and the eurrant of gold would still fiow steadily in this direction. Of the 400,000,000 bushels of wheat produced annually in the valleys of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, only 100,000,000 can be transferred to Europe. Bailway rates will not suffer farmers to sell in the east, and congress has adopted no measure designed to open a way to the sea. Jay Gould has the barges tied to the shore ; none but little ships of 2,500 tons burden can enter the Mississippi; wheat andcotton, sugar, rice, and corn cannot go out in bulk; and each farmer in the weet loses from 18 to 20 cents on every bushei of wheat he produces, simplybecause the congress or the United States is manipulated by rings and grand commissions, organized in the interest of railway owners and tariff mongers, who do not intend that the Mississippi shall ever compete with the railways and regúlate freight rates between the east and west. The hostility of great railway owners to Beagan's inter-state commerce bill is not half so violent as that confessed when it is really and honestly proposed to make the Mississippi an arm of the sea. But enough of American superabundant crops will soon force their way out, paying farmers almost nothing and railways everything, to reverse the order of events and gold again will flow in this direction. Wheat in the west and cotton in the south will break through barriers set about by railway and congressional subordination to commissions, and in spite of untoward or negative legislation, soon bring Europe in debt to us on each month's commercial transactions. Blackmail is it? The Democrat started out with the intention of accomplishing certain things, and we are pleased to know that our eflbrts are successful. The Toledo road has been brought to time. The attorney, James Ashley, Jr., thought to buldoze the editor of this paper, but he has evidently come to the conclusión that there is no use of fighting against the pricks. We have had our say, and if the managers of the road don't like it( well and good. Certain reforms have been inaugurated by these self-styled managers. They were compelled to issue certain orders to their employees, and unless said orders are obeyed to the very T there will be fun all along the line, from State street to Miller avenue. Perhaps the man with the iron jaw will feel relieved when he is informed that the residents of the west side care no more for him than the veriest toad that crawls. The Adrián Press speaks out in meeting. It says: Hon. J. K. Boies, of Hudson, is right hot in the field for the congressional nomination. He thinks, now that Bynd is positively off the track, that he can get a united Lenawee delegation. His friends say that if Lenawee goes in solid, Boies can walk off with the cake. We see no reason why Boies cannot get a united Lenawae delegation, since Bynd bucked himself off the track by fighting for the postoffice. Probably the Hudson banker and merchant will after all seat himself in a congressional chair, while the stalwart ex-regent busies himself fighting the rules of the Adrián public schools. This week we think Boies has got it certain. The republicans of Virginia are supporting for congressman-at-large, the late rebel Capt. John S. Wise, son of exgovernor Henry A. Wise, who hanged the republican annointed body of "Old John Brown." Were he the democratie candidate, a howl would go up from the entire republican press of the north - it would be so terribly shocked at so gross an outrage on the loyalty of the people, and Virginia would be filled with bloodyshirt orators to defeat him.- [Barry Co. Democrat. "Wages," says Professor W. Q. Summer, "cannot depend on anything but the supply and the demand of labor. As a workingman well expressed it a few years ago at a labor investigation in this country- he covered the whole ground, and no economist can improve what he said: 'I know when two bosses are running after one man wages are high; when there are two men running after the one boss wages are low.' That embraces the science, theory and practice of the whole subject." THElaboring men of the entire country are active in their efforts to ameliorate their condition. If they would unitedly use their power at the ballot-box they could easily accomplish all needed relief. Hercules helps those who help themselveB. If the workmen of the country desire to escape the practical bondage of the rings and monopolista they must themselves unite in opposition to their oppressor.- [Journal, Lansing.
