Paul telegeaph A RE A most UTATION IN FIGURES. remarkable feature of the campaigns in those states where na- tional issues predominate is the per- sistent effort of the democrats to make it appear, in the fuce of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that the country isnot prosperous, and things are going from bad to worse. This has heen talked by the leading champion of freo trade, Mr. Roger Q. Mills, in Towa and Ohio, and the domocratic candidates in those- statos have adopted and echoed his views. These gentle- men, just now the most prominent e ponents of democratic sentiment, are telling the people that the farmers are impoverished, that the agricultural lands are depreciating in value, that labor is suffering, and that the com- merce of the country is declining. It is most extraordinary that party leaders will go on making statements of this kind with the evidence on ev, hand to refute them, and 1t can be explaived only upon the hypothesis that they have u very poor opinion of the intelligence of their constituents, With regard to the commerce of the country. which the democrats insist upon suying has declined since the pres- ent tariff law wont into effect, an offi- cial statement has just been made by the chief of the Bureau of Statistics to the socretar, of the treasury covering the eleven months from Octol 1, 1890, to August 31, 1891, It is o complete refutation in indisputable figures of the claim that there has been a decline in the cem- merce of the countey. It shows that as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year our foreign com- merce, imports and exports of mor- chandise combined, increased over $74,- 000,000, which was nearly double the avornge unnual inerease ef our foreign during the twenty years to 1801 The. truth the statistics plainly show, we bought more goods in Europe during months thun we ever bought before in an equal period, and largely because of the iucreased list of articles that cannot be produced in the United States which the now Jaw lets come in free. What is still better, wo sold more American products to Europe during this period that ever before in an equal time, the incrente in our exports { of mocchandise over the ing months of the previous being $40,000,000, nearly two and one-half times greater than the annual avernge inerease of exports of merchundise during the twenty | yours prior to 1891, Tt is important to bear in mind that while our imports were considerably inereased in value they were exceeded by the exports to the amount of $77,000,000, thus creating a large balance In our favor, which is being steadily increased. The simple truth is that during the comn from is, ce 1871 as these eleven correspond- year ay over year in which the present tariff law has 1 boen in oporation the foreign commerce | | were lust, by tl | them it has no wa THE OMAHA DAII of the United States, imports and ex- ports combined, has that of any other year in the history of the gov- ernment, and a policy cannot’ be wholly bad under which such n result is possi- o. The democrats prophesied a totally different state of affairs, and ite the fact that their predictions have utterly failed they have deter- mined not to abandon their position as the propagandists of ealamity and des- pair. But the thoughtful and discrimi- nating people of the country—the voters who go to the facts for their guidance— will not be deceived this year, as they s sort of doetrine. Their tion issufficient to show wnt, aud beyond this the ovidenco is most abundant that re- futes it. There should be anywhere for the success of the party that proaches the gospel of dissatisfac- tion, discontent and despair. excoeded des personal obser no chance INTERSTATE COMMISSION VA( Lastern newspapers are suggesting to the president that he should appoint to the vacancies the Interstate Com- merce commission practical men rather than lawyer It is held ti the legzal profession has been from the first abun- witly represented in this body, and while this may have been necessary at first now that the law has been fully in- terpreted it 18 no longer important that the commission he composed entively of lawyers, It is urged that the president wonld do well to select as one member of the commission a practical business 1 of extensive exverience, who it s ntended would be more useful on the commission, at this stage of its opera- than all the law who could be connes with president is ¢ ad- vise one man of extens practical acquaintance with railroad management, for the reason that in all the con »s between different rail- roads, and in all the controversies be- tween railronds and pevsons claiming to represent the public, the knowledge of such a man would be of incalculable value. There can be no question that there is force in these suggestions, but of far ater importance an the ap- pointment of practical men of the classes designated is the fair representation of every section of the country on the commission. As THE BEk has heretofore pointed out, the great region west of the Missouri has re- coived no recognition in appointments to the Interstate Commeree commission, and its claims should no longer be ig- nored. The transportation interests of that section are greater than those of any other, so far as the extent of milenge is concerned, and they are steadily growing. The railroad mileage in the northwestern, south- western and Pacific states aggregate 60,830 miles, or nearly two-fifths of tho railrond mileage of the country, and this region has never been represented in the geographical distribution of members of the Interstate Commerce commission. Apart from the question of milage, the interests of this groat vegion dependent upon railroad trans- portation are greater than those of any other section, or at any rate arve of such vast and growing importance as to give them the strongest possible claim to be represented on the commission. The proposition that there ought to be practical men on the commission is doubtless sound, but in view of the ro- tirement of so able a lawyer as Judge Cooley it is porhaps desirable that he shall be replaced by a man of first-cl legal attainments, else the commission may lose in popular confidence. Except its chairman, the legul wisdom of tho body is not of the highest standard. But in any event the country west of the Missouri should supply & man for one of the vacancies on the commission, and whatever Presidont Harrison muy de- termine to do with regard to appointing practical men or lawyers, he will recog- nizo a just demand in selecting o west- ern man for one of the vacancies.
