If the foreign trade of the United States for a term of years be analj zed by coun- tries the first lact that strikes tbe eye is the enormous preponderance of our ex ports to the United Kingdom, whether e compare them with the exports to other countries or the Imports from the United JClngdom. The fo.lowlng tab,e shows our trade with the five European nations whh which our trade la largest, covering th- 20 years. 18S0 to 1S39. both Included, in r.Hniin nf tv nr f-aph.

In the 20 jears we have sold Eng land $260 worth of goods for ever (i worth we have bought from her. After England our exports to Germany are large than to any other country. For ihc last 10 years and the whole period they exceed the Imports. But from 18S0 to 1S83 the imports were the larger. The trade has fcten growing both wajs, but it has gro-nn faster on the export than on the import side, the exports having more than doubled. "We have bought more of France In each of the four periods than we have eold to her, but the trade was larger In the first than In any subsequent five years, and. in the last Ave years the two sides of the account nearly balance. I our exports to the "Low Countries" seem j very large In proportion to our Imports j from them, and In proportion to the r population. It Is to b remembered that Rotterdam and Amsterdam and Antwerp do a great deal of foreign trade for the Interior of Europe. We shall have marked evidence of this later In the cae; of Switzerland. The following table shows the course of our trade with another group of Euro pean nations, presenting some striking contrasts' in the predominance of import: , or exports: Italy. Spain. Imp. Exp.

The one-sided appear- 1 ance of our trade with the Alpine Repub lic Is explained by the fact that Switzer land exports to this country direct, whllf the Imports are made through Importing houses in German and other loreign ports. The unlform'ty of the amount of our im ports from Switzerland, largely known as St. Gall goods. Is a distinctive feature of this trade. Our trade with Au.str.a was twice as large on each side of the account In the last, as In the first five years.

Our trade with British North America shows a continuous de-. crease of imports and a nearly continuous, and In the last 10 years a very rapid. In- ' . ...- rt ... !. . , ' crease in exports. To the rest of the Continent our exports are Increasing fast, but are still exceeded by our Imports.

The third period shows a large increase of exports and a small In crease of Imports over the first period. The figures of the last period tell the Btory of the interruption of commerce by the insurrection and war. Our Imports ot sugar from the other Islands have de clined, but the British Islands have done something to substitute fruit for sugar. Our exports to them are pretty constant. Coffee an drubber account for large im ports from Brazil, our exports to which were very much greater In the last 10 years than in the flrrt 10 years. The rec' procity experiment was tried In the third five years, but our exports in the lost five 5 ears were Just as great as in the third five j ears. The large exports to Cuba In the third group of 3-enrs are due in good part to the large shipments ot flour from thl country during the recl procltj arrangement. In the case of Ar gentina the most noticeable fact Is that the Baring collapse was followed by de creased Imports Into that country, hut the loss was more than recovered In the last five years.

By a rope run through the conduit," was the rply "Yes. I understand, but what I want to know Is how the rope Is got through." "Oh, that is easy enough: a twine is but through and with It the rope is hauled through." j "But how is the twine got through?"

My attention has been called to sett.on IS of the Australian ballot act, where u says: . The Judcts of election shall, if requested in wrltlns.

And I was Informed that at the last election Senator Hascltlne. who was the riinirmnn of the ludKes In one of the ?'-j'-'".,'Xrv.s,r incB bC"l.

If the Judges and clerks preserve tht miard rail In the same position It was In during the receiving of the ballots, they should sit with their back Immediately against the guard rail, so that these agents and other persona authorized to be present may be able to see that the bauois where the guard rail was paced during the voting, then they should reconstruct and rearrange the guard rail so that the candidates and agents of the respective 1 parties o" agents of the candidates will be able tc supervise their work. An other construction of this provision of the law, or such a construction of U as it has been said ex-Senator Haseltlne put upon it, is too much like slicking to the letter and Ignoring the spirit and rea son and object of the law, to be to!er ated. I was associated with Judge L. It. Mc Arthur (now deceased). Judge John Cot lin and some others In drafting that bin, and I am sure the construction I put upon It Is the one we all intended. Our Intention wns by means of a "guaro rail" to keep the officials free from Inter ference or Jostling by other persons, who had a right to supervise the proceeding, and be satisfied that all the candidate were having "a fair ballot and an honest count." The law should be construed and carried out so as to protect the Judges and clerks from Intermeddling, and at the same time so as to unable the authorized bystanders to know, by seeing and hearing and over looking the buslners. that the Judges and clerks arc doing their work correctly. . The law clearly recognizes a right in each candidate, and each "party," to thus supervise the election, not only In receiv ing the ballots, but In the counting or them. Public interest in every respect requires th's construction. If the counting of the ballots Is so .conducted as to enable the candidates and their agents to so super vise the count as to satisfy them that It wan fairly and correctly conducted, subse quent "contests" and expen Ive "recounts' would be avoided. Nothing could .be more hurtful to a dominant political party. It accuis iu uic, man iu create a suspicion ff linfn1rilft !n ITiM mnTiao.mnf rt In j their influence in the management, of the f polls, either in the receiving of the ballots or In the counting of them. And nothing . could be farther from the Intent of the said law. I trust that the foregoing will appear so sound and reasonable, and meet with such general approval, as to control the course of the Judges in the nresent elee- i. tion. ED W. BINGHAM. COMING ATTRACTIONS. John Drew's polish, ease, versatility and distinguished grace as a comedian j.ever found more opportunities than as the tear-tyrannized novelist, Mr. Parbury, In "The Tyranny of Tears," which, under Charles Frohman's direction, will "be pre sented at the Marquara Grand tomorrow and Wednesday evenings. It is a dainty, even an exquisite comedy, delightful In Hs literature, admirable In Its story. In teresting In Its theme, and so well con structed that there is an ascending scale of excellence through tht progress of its four .acts, each being better than the preceding one. until the acme of play making, the fourth act, is best of all. That, at all events, is, according to the consensus of critical opinion. The play ran a season In London, for several months In New York, and has been welcomed with marked favor everywhere else It has been presented. Isabel Irving, Mr. Drew's leading lady, has a splendid role: Id Conquest has the opportunity of her life; Arthur Byron has a part that has ad vanced him many strides In his profes sion; Harry Harwood shows once more his good schooling as a character actor, and Frank E. Lamb, stage manager and good actor paints a perfect portrait of a perfect butler. Artistic generos"tj will be found evidenced in the stage settings. The curtain will rise promptly at 8 o'clock each evening. THE TRAVELING PJJBLIC. Passengers going East over the O.

GOT HIS HAIR BACK. "Wan Perfectly Bald, When He Start ed to "Uae Neirbro'a Herplclde. Frederick Manuell, Maryland b!o;k. Butte, Montana, bought a bottle of New bro's Herplclde, April 6, '99. and began to use It for entire baldness. In 20 days, he says, he had hair all over "his head, and on July 2 he writes, "and today my hair Is as thick and luxuriant as any one could wish." Newbro's Herploide works on an old principle and with a new discovery destroy the cause and you remove the effect. Herplclde destroys the germ that causes dandruff, falling hair, and finally baldness, so that with the cause pone the effect cannot remain. Stops falling hair at once ana starts tne new growth in a week.
