TRUE
Temperance
Is not signing a pledge
or taking a solemn oath that
cannot be kept, because of
the non-removal of tiic cause
liquor. The way to make
a man temperate is to kill
the desire for those dreadful
artificial stimulants that car
ry so many bright intellects
to premature graves, and
desolation, strife and uu
happincss into so many
families.

more to promote temperance,
in the strictest tense then

"Yes."
"And how long will they last?"
"That depends on tho into at which

The reason, as given recently by one
Of Hcuroturv Foliror's friends, for tho
(coolncra existing between Conklhig on
tho onjhund and Eplccr and Arthur
on tho other, is Mibstantlully this:
When Arthur became president,
Conkllug was asked to accept tho poit
Uollo of state. This ho declined, on
the ground that lie was out of politic,
and ambitious to mako money, or
which he stood badly in need. What
did ho want? was asked in a tone that
indicated a ready compliance "J
havo but one request to make," Jald
he slowly and with emphasis: "1
want that fellow Jlobortann kicked
out of tho oustoii-hotiec.n In vain
Arthur and Folgor reasoned with
him. It would bo impolitic, they
rinld, considering Arthur's manner of
succession, to remove Hobertson with
out cause. Already there existed a
strong prejudice against the adminis
tration, and It needed but a single
fulsp stop of this sort to array solidly
against them all tho opposition of the
bulf-bn-eds. When Hobertson'a term
cxpiiod Mr, Colliding shoulb name his
successor.
In this strain they argued for over
an hour. Conkllng listened jMitlcntly,
with a sneer on his haughty luce, lie
never interrupted them for a moment.
When they finished he willed his hat
and left the room, He has never grtne
near thorn since.
Kneel of Tai'ItT Dlst't.'sslons.
There promises ouo good result to
eomooutof tho taiiii'dlscussion. It is
estimated by thoso In favorablo posN
tlons for observation that there will be
a reduction of Imports In this country
during tho current year. This will
hayo thb double cllect of curtailing ex
penditure by tho people and reducing
the icvonucsof the government. He
ducllou of tho revenues Ih but u form
of reduction of taxation, as tarllls an
now levied. Curtailment of Imports
Is not a self-evident advantage whou
eontompluiedfrom an economical stand
point, Whether Imports udd to or
diminish u people's Jwtmtlh u
i-ends. of course, upon what they bring
In. The Importation of industrtftl
materials or goods which add to the
productive power of the people nfofo
than they Mini, Is at once the sign and
the cause- of prosperity, what Ih
styled tho "balance of trade" may ho
against any country to Its advantage,
but, rarely, pcrjuinu, is so. Uut when
tho balance of trade against a country
is tho result o( purchases of articles of
luxury, whloh perish In tho using, (he
fact shows that such country is spend
ing its nroflts or going into dchtiin
prodtieUvcly. The imports lhv tint
past year into (ho Uultett fcStulca show
that our people have boon lurgely en
gaged In tho economical folly of Im
porting luxuries, and have thus turned
the balance ngainut us. For example,
in tho ten months which ended Octo
ber 81, the Imports of silk goods
amounted to $71, W8,W1, against $10.
08L808 for tho wuno period In 1881.
This ts but one Item out of it large
number by which the aggregate In
crease of imports for tho year 1882 ex
ceeded those of 1881 by about $100,000,
000, Tho balance of trade, which war.
In 1881 In otir favor by $J03, 880,070,
was at tho end of ten months of the
present year hi ,101,sa against us. Ac
this balance was so lurgely for luxuries
It Is pleasant to think It will not con
tinue. It would be pJcasauler, how
ever, if the cbamro wcic tho result of
