OVR FOREIGN TRADE.
The September returns of our for
eign commerce were remarkable.
The total merchandise exports for
the month were valued at $101,691,
000, compared with $85,131,000 the
same period last year. Our imports
in September amounted to only $42,
4 10,000 against $50,855,000 a year
ago. These figures meant a favora
ble trade balance for the month of
$62,281,000, or nearly double that
of 1806, when the excess of mer
chandise exports amounted to $34,
276,000. This is a phenomenal ex
hibit. How long it will continue, or
whether it has reached its height or
not, is impossible to determine. Our
exports have been swelled by short
crops elsewhere and the consequent
foreign demand for our grain and
other food products, the higher
prices for wheat also being an im
portant factor in the increase.
As the outward movement of grain
is likely to continue heavy for some
time to come and cotton must soon
move outward more freely, the out
look is for continued large merchan
dise expoits, especially as our ex
ports of manufactures show no signs
prove ment here. Imports were of
course much reduced by the antici
patory arrivals preceding the tariff.
As these are worked off and as
home trade improves, our purchases
of foreign goods are likely to revive.
Just at present, however, we are
chiefly concerned regarding the effect
of such an unusually unfavorable
balance upon the foreign exchanges.
The situation warrants large gold
imports, much larger than a year ago
when Europe was practically a bor
rower in the United States. The
Bank of England's stock of gold has,
however, been so much reduced that
efforts will undoubtedly be made to
prevent any large flow in this direc
tion ; so that Europe will again be
obliged to defer settlements for a
period and be an even larger bor
rower of us than last year. The im
ports and exports of merchandise,
silver and gold for the last three
months were as follows:
Erports $279,028,000 $252,183,000
Imports 155,028,000 199,639,000
Excess Expts. $124,000,000 $ 52,549,000
NAVAL HEROES.
Anniversaries of the battle of Traf
algar and the launching of the filgate
Constitution, one in England, the
other in the great nation which
sprang from her liberated colonies.
recall deeds of valor on the seas
which have had no equal for pictur
esqueness in the last few decades,
Lord Nelson, who commanded at the
battle of Trafalgar, ranked as an ad
miral in the same class as "Wellington
and Washington as generals. He
wa? aggressive to the uttermost, but
cautious when occasion required
His forte lay in the direction of i
fleet.
The Constitution was an examph
of the career of a single ship. It ii
said that. "Old Ironsides" was the
foundation of the American navy
She was a solid rock of strength
The nerves of a patriotic American
thrill with delight when he reads of
the escape of the Constitution from
the entire British squadron off Sandy
Hook, the defeat of the crack British
frigate Guerriere off Halifax and the
conquest of the British frigate Java
off the coast of Brazil.
Inventive genius of man has well
nigh destroyed ' the romance of the
naval engagement and the sea rover.
The novelist and historian will find
his occupation gone . in a few years.
The youth whose ambition it is to
run away to sea and sail the Spanish
main on a pirate bold wilt turn his
attention to the construction of a fly
ing: machine, but the deeds of
such ships as the Constitution will
always stir him and prove an object
lesson for bravery and patriotism.
t 'The new currency law of Japan
went into effect the first of October,
and the consul of that country in
New York has received advices from
his government as follows: "In the
week following October 1st the ap
plications for gold currency in
change for silver yen amounted to
only $950,000, equal to about the
same amount in United States dol
lars. The money market in the cap
ital is quiet. An imperial decree
has been issued prohibiting the cir
culation of silver yen after April,
1898. The adoption of the gold
standard in Japan has caused an un
easiness to the general situation and
shows that Japan refuses to be
classed among those nations who
seek an unstable currency system.
Food, undigested, Is poison. Digested,
it is life and strength. Millions of us
suffer Irom indigestion, bat we often
don't know it. We think it is some
thing else. Even doctors often mistake
the symptoms.
Pale, thin people, who are overworked,
who need strength, who seem in want of
proper food, should take Shaker Digest
ive Cordial. It is astonishing what food
will do, when properly digested.
It will make you strong, revive you,
refresh yon, soetain you, make you fat,
restore your color, make mnecie, brain
fibre, courage, endurance, energy ; in
crease your power to throw off disease
and keep you healthy and happy.
Indigestion does just the opposite, but
indigestion can be cured and prevented
with Shaker Digestive Cordial. .

Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist of
Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's
New Discovery is the only thing that
cures my cough, and it is the best seller
I have." J. F. Campbell, merchant of
Safford, Ariz., writes: "Dr. King's New
Discovery is all that is claimed for it ; it
never fails, and is a sure cure for Con
sumption, Coughs, and Colds. I cannot
say enough for its merits." Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds is not an experiment.
It has been tried for a quarter of a cen
tury, and today stands at the bead. It

. A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with a very severe cold that caused him
to be in a most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerons be took
immediate steps to 'bring about a speedy
cure. From the advertisement of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfac
tory in its results, is putting ' it very
mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and
the result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recom
mending this excellent Cough Remedy
