When counties and dis tricts and states can be botreht and influx enced wVh monev.We ' have aimolv an aristocracy, and a government of the peonle and by the people, becomes a com plete isrce. We find that in two pears ending June dU. lBtfl. we sent abroad in merchandise atidcasn, $1,879 834.173, and received from abroad in merchandise and c&8b,$l ,- 7U4, 454,299; Oifference, $174,879, B74. S that in these past two years we have Bent abroad in merchandise and cash nearly $175,000,000 more than we have received back. And this thing has been going on for years. - We not only send to other nations more merchandise than we get from them, but pay them cash gold and bullion in addition. Since the 30th of last June, the date to which the above figures are brought, our exports have in creased enormously, but there has been no proportionate increase in the amount of goods we bare received, and no "flo of gold to this country. In December we sent to other nationa more than two dollars Worth -of merchandise for every dollar we received from them, and now are sending -Our cash after the mercban dise. And yet taking merchandise alone we find the following to be the case, that for the years '91 and . 93 that -we sent abroat . merchandise, $1,717 564,llt; re reived -from abroad merchandise. $1. 634,232.526; difference. - $83,341,585 .Which woulcrshow a balance hi favor of this country on merchandise of 183.841, 585, anif a. s,reat tnany. people would jump at the conclusion that aa . nation we were that much , richer, which does not. follow,,. t would ali depend whether we nad sold out produce and manufae tures for less or mote, than they bad coat us, and whether we hid been charged an exorbitant price for that which- we- bad purchased. .' The fact that a nation sells more than it buys noes not prove it to have been a profitable transaction,', one way or, the other. v . . .' If a farmersells $1,000 worth of bovs atid buys $500 worth of clothing and f itm m,l e nenta. etc., will any one claim that he is $500 better tiff financially than he was before be 'Bold his hogs? If he got five cents a pound for his hogs and they bad only cost him four cents to raise and fatten tbcm, of course 1 he! would be 2 per cent gainer in that transaction but supposing that he gained upon bis hogs, he . lost upon his purchases, he would jut-t be even, wouldn't he? But supposing corn is un.and his hogs have cost him five cent per pound and be sells them for 4, and. on account of import duties, his clothing and farm implements have cost him 40 per cent too much, how then would the matter stand? A farmer might ell 10 calves for $100 and then buy five sheep for $50 cash, and may or may not haye made a profit in Ibe trans action, but the fact that he Bells more than he buys, does not prove It either way. - This error of attempting to show the profits and losses of a nation by com paring Its imports with its exports., to say the least, is fallacious and deceptive. Considering that the wealthy men of Eu rope (principally in England) own and hold our railroad bonds,, and for .years been gobbling up oufi'landf, 'Manufactory ies, distilleries, breweries, etc.. almost in numerable, (Mr. "Scully of London, we are told, owns " 75.000 acres of land in one county in Kansas,' and 60,000 in Illinois which he rents at 32 25 vet acre), therefore the large output of gold and silver from this country, may i be ac counted for; : in part, that it is simply' aTJCtBUtesrpayiugrentft;' profits and dividends to the wealthy men of Europe.
