During the past three weeks, outside of New York, the ad- vantage hasbeen largely with Boston, thls port Having cleared several steamers per day, the arrivals of grain from the West In thy neat time haying been unprecedented, Boston's import trade has also inereased more than per cont sinee the first of tho new year, and its speeuiatton in mining stocks lis) nw bdevome a strong feature. THE TURN IN THE “NATANCE.” The statement comes from Washington that the balance of trade for the first two months of 1880 will show “a balauce: on the wrong side”; that we have been bnylne more than we have beew selling during that period, ‘This is only the natural result of speculation, by whielt priees have been run up so high that it is ¢ rito import thaw to purchase home-made goods Ft khub Aan Investiaation of the subject on this polntwill show that, In the articles of wheat and other grains, cotton, coffee, sugar, lard, and pork leading prodictions—there Is a fotat value almost twice as large as at this time a year aco, due, in part, to Iarmer stocks and to For KK) higher pri Instanee, bushels of whent, In 1880 ara worth $37,000,- 000, against 20,000,000 bus CHT WO.

The stocks of all these articles, too, are larger than they were a year ago, Other con- parisons will show ch A MANKED CIANGK Inour trade returns, showing the revival In ‘our imports. ‘The Imports have grown from $35,000,000 to $60,000,000 per month during the past thirteen months. For the Inst three months the average has been $58,000,000, nizalnst $28,000,000 for the first three months. . These figures develop an wnfavorable feature in the export trade, and gn iinportant. factor jn this retrograde movement 1s tho falllng off In manufaetured goods, on account of the Iigher values ruling fn that department of trade, notably In metals. As New York re- ecives almoést two-thirds of nll the foreign imports of the country, aud ships about onehatt the exports to foreign, ports, the drift of trade fs plainly evinced by the commercial move- ments at that port. “In Janungy the imports Were $52,409,029, ngalnst $25,057,000 for the same month in 1879, ‘The imports at New ‘York Ist nonth were larger than for any carresponding month since 1850, the only in- stance approaching tho figures being in tho infintion year of 1873, when they were $37,- 803,691. At Boston the value of the imports since Jan. 11s $7,700,000, ngalnst $3,011,555 for tho saine time In 1879. ‘The exports have increased during the sume time, but nowhera near the same ratio us the Jmports, notwith- standing the comparably large grain move- ment here. In connection with the change inthe “ balance of trade,” considerable at- tention is now being paid to the relation of the money market to foreign trade. ‘The friends of gold complain that, while the pile of silver In the Treusury vaults Is constantly: {nereasing, the gold reserve is dhutnishing, now havjug fallen to $140,000,000 or there abouts, silver Increasing faster than gold, A MONEY STRINGENCY is threatened, according to some who make the subject a study, in ease the speeniative spirlt which has prevailed for a year past continues throughout the year. No doubt, too, the imports will Indue’ a marked drain from the country a few months t there nre others who contend that the exeess of exports of lust year fs so large that the imports might continue for years without turing the scale apainst the country. Jt is hardly possible, thinks an- other authority, that, in view af the heayy hnports during the first part of the year, the Jast part of the year will witness any such ins flow of foreign goods, the entire volume not exceeding that of 1879. 1t would be ioglent for gold to go abroad as Jong as the mere chandise balance remalns in otr favor, and especially since forelizn gotd enn earn atleast per cent more In this country than It possl- bly can at home, In view of ‘the new era of prosperity, we think a consiteration of some of tho pluses of indebtedness will bo read swith Interest.

St. Louis Republiean, AChiengo dispatch says the paper-mant- facturers In the Northwest are ninking vigor- ous efforts to dissuade Congress from repent+ ing the duty on the materials used in making paper, ‘This isn most extraordinary move- ment. . If it were sald that the papermakers are asking Congress to repeal these duties ant allow thent to tinport their raw material free, we could understand i; but when they are represented as oppose a repent that would cheapen the cost of the material they use, the thing looks incomprehensible, haps the explanation is that the objective polut of the papermakers is to prevent Con- kress from repealing or reducing the duty on paper ttself, and they think the best of effecting this Is to direct thelr efforts against the repeal of the duty on the raw materials used in the mnanufactire of it. They say ong thing, but they mean another, THE CORNER IN PAPAT. San Franetsco Chrontete, "Tho unjust and irrational character of the existing tarlif rates on paper and articles of necessary use in fits manufacture is now universally admitted, No ono in Congress ovout of it pretends to: justify n heavy ad- valorem duty on foreign panel, nileged to be for the protection of tho American manu: facturer, while at the same time a stimilar duty {3 Imposed upon the materials ana chemicals which he is compelled to import from abrond to use in his manufacture, Even tho most, rabld and uncompromising protectionist organs freely admit the sub- stantial injustice of this volicy. One of these organs says: “The truth Is, the pa- per-manufacturing business does not need protection,” Even without the free importa- tion of materials, our abundant water-power and unequaled niachinery alford ample pro- tection. ‘This being so, what possible objec- tlon ean be urged against the repeal of the duty on foreign paper, espeelnily if that measure be aecompaniad by “the re- movil of the duty on eride , paper stock and bleaching — chemicals? ‘The only answer vouchsnfed to this question by the protection organ, which acknowledges that the paper-manufacturers of tho United States do not need protection aguinst their foreign competitors, ts that tt objects “npot principle to all taritt tinkering,” ‘That fs, it objects to correcting o confessed abpse, lest the necessary change to secure such correc- tion should open the door for the correetion of other shuilar abuses, How Is this extraor- dhunry argument likely to impress the mind of intelligent Congressinen? It tells them that they must not remove on unnecessary and oppressive tux, which no one attempts to defend or justify, because if they do so they many nt some future tune be tempted to re- move some other tax, which there is no goo reason for removing.

THE IRISIL PUZZLE, Which Storrs Could tng Asal it Solve—Work= 2 Interests and Sinteit Whemnolvens Dubuyie ‘Tinea, Mr. Emery A. Storrs, of Chieago, de- livered a tecture the other evening In- that elty before the Irlsh-Anoriean Republican Club on tho question: “ Why on Enrth’Are Irishmen Democrats” We are sorry to say that this puzzling conundrum was not solyed by Mr. Storrs, 1 was merely presented in different shapes, but it was not solved. Mr, Storrs referred to that curleuy phenomenon in our politics, “the solid Irish vote.’ and to the singular fact that 16 has always heen given tothe Democratic party, We agreo with Mr. Storrs, that without that vote the Demoeratic party would Jong Fince have consed to “cumber the ground.’ It ave to that party the vote of the City and State of New: York; it give it the control of several other cities and Congressional districts, and thus, with the Solld South, enabled the Democratic party to control the country. Without the Irish vote the Demucratie party must have disbanded long ngo. Mr. Storrs merely states tho ease, but does not explnin ft when he presents this paradox: “ Our Irish fellow-eltizens comlng to these shores froma land blighted by Oppression, they have solidly neted with the party of Op- presston.” “Coming here fired with the idea of Liberty, they have at once allied ther with the party of Slavery,” All thts a torrs confesses presents to hin “an ne consistency absolutely Inexpleable? Tt cane not be explained. ‘The astonishing fret re- mains that tha Democvratle party, In all its wieked assaults upon Human “Liberty and upon the rights. and dignity of Labor, has been assisted by the Irish vote, But the anomaly which amazes Mr. Storrs continues. yet; even at this very monient, notwithstanding the lessons of the ast, rane while the Irish nation Is seek line rellef from the poverty and want praduged oy aun uneitst Jand system, our [rsh felluw-eltizens will vote solid with the Democratic purty in its attempt te compel the farm-laborers of the South to submit to the same fdentleal sys- fen, Denounelag tho unjust land law whieh In. Treland gives the work to the laborer and the erop to the lord, they will vote solid ta establish the same injustice inthe Southern States of Amerien, ‘Che Irish are an ngri- cultural people, and they emigrated to this eountry by hundreds of thousands after the Famine year, seeking for independence in the ownership of Jaud. At that Wine the Re- publlean. party proposed to throw open for thei free ownership all the max uificent lands of iowa, Nebraska, aud Kansas, fixing toeach ono of them 100 neres for nothing, ‘The Democratic party op- posed the Inw, and yet the Irish vote was thrown solid forthe Demoeratie party, When the Republicans obtained power the Home- stend law was passed, and under its opera tlon we offer to every emigrant from Ireland, 160 neres of goud land free, if the Deme> oeratic party should propose to repeal the Tomestend law to-morrow, it would have the support of tha *soild Irish yote?? Mr. Storrs asks this question: “Can tt bo supposed for a moment—ean any Lrishman suppose,—that had Curran, and Grattan, and. Emmet, ‘and Plunkett, and Shieh and Burke risen from thelr graves, and conkt they have been here, adopted citizens of this country: sineo 1856, that they would havencted with the.

To which wa muiswer, we don't know; there never wns in Jreland a more fervent advocate of Freedom than Join Mitchel, and yet he scarcely set foot won the shores of New York when he declared himself an adyoente of Slavery, Surely no two men ever tad greater Inilu- ence over Irishmen than Daniel O'Connell and Father Mathaw, ‘They were both Abo- Iitlontsts, and they sent a written appeal to their fellow-countrymen In America not to support the party of Slavery. ‘Their appeal had no intluence whatever, and the Irish voto went solid for Shuvery, Auother curl- ous nonin R is: In freland the peaple were all Aballtlonists, but xs soon as they crosged the Atinntie they voted with the par- ty of Stuvery, is Is there miy explanation to auch Inconsist- ency ns this? Mr, Storrs fs unable to find any, but there must be wn explanation some- where, ‘Tho two striking features of the conundrum are these: 1. “Phe “ soll” chur acter of the Irish vat & ‘That it showhl be always east for the Democratic party. ‘The explanation of the Irish vote $s get eraltyas- eribed ta the claimishness of the peoples but there must be a reason for this clanuishiesy, and to tind It we must refer buck to the elr- ctunstances of tho Irish people at home, | For centuries they have heen compelled to band together for mutual protection against op- pressive liws, and this de of mnton has been religlous as well as ‘politienl, In fuet their polities and religion were blend. ed together, ‘The Catholics were on ono side; the Government, the Inws, the power, tha anny, and the Protestants were on the other, Tt beenme a hablt to bani together, and this hablt, continues evan hereSn America. [tls not at all strange that the Irish have not yet learned to woparaty religion Gom polities, It is the opinion of the Irlsh people herethat the Demoerntic party is more friendly to the Catholle Churel than Is the Republican party. Fidse this opinion may be, but It ts certaln that the Tish entertain it, and, when thelr habit of banding tugether in the old country is cone sidered, thelr practleal unanimity ino this country Is necounted for.
