Jan. 5, 1899. THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. t THE TEADE BALANCE. ! V EXPLANATION OF THE CLAIM THAT IT IS AGAINST US. " Tn Peculiar Kind of Bookkeeplna Employed In th United State Treaaar- Department Mr. Vaa Vor fcl luwtri lorn Qaeatlone. . I have received from different local! tiei a number of letteri making inquir iei and snggeatlona conoerning the table published in The Nonoonformiat of Not. 94. I have answered most of tbein briefly with tbe promise that I would answer more folly tbrongb yonr col umns. Professional eogagementa bave canied a longer delay in doing ao than I bad anticipated, t I am not snrprlaed that tba table of exporta and importa of merohandiaoand money metali, in tbe face of tbe exult ant claima that bare beun made by tbe gold atandard prera, haa been read with tome astonishment if not incre dulity, particularly by thoie wbo tbna bad their attention oalled to the matter for tba flrat time. It baa been to gener ally the claim that our foreign trade re lationa abow a balance in our favor tbut when attention ia oalled to the truth, that In SO yeara ending June 80, 1808, there bave been btf'two yeara duriug which tbe balanc, hi lint againat nit, that trntb ao surprn, 4 muny people that it aeema to tbem unbelievable. It ia dlflloult to understand how it haa come about tbat the American peo ple bave for ao long been 10 minted iu regard to tbe bookkeeping of oar foreign trade tbat tbey bave mistaken the losu column for tbe gain and tbe gain col nmn for tbe loss. Tbey are astonished when told tbat the bookkeeping of the treasury department in 25 years really abowa an aggregate Uw of f.'), 0.2, 100, C04 of the wealth produced by thia country within tbat tiimi, It baa been tbo almost universal cus tora to consider only the Merchandise we bave aold and exported aa indicating a balance of truriu in our favor. The inquiry baa rarely been inudu, "What did we got fur it?" It la impossible tbut a man in business cim in ouy way or (or any purpose purt with more tbun be receivca and have a giiin. It cannot bu less Impossible for a tuition to do ao. It ia perfectly cleur (but in tbe book leaping of the treasury department in the summary tbe column tbat ahowa 'exceaa of exporta over import" ia the ,oia column, and tbe column that abowa "exceaa of importa over exporta" ia the lain column. In order to determine whether in oor foreign trade there ia n balance in onr favor or against na we swat find tbe auin of all commodities txported and also tbe aura of all com moditiea imported. Tbe difference be tween tbem will indicate the loaaor tbe gain daring any given time. It rauat be remembered tbat in our foreign trade bookkeeping no ancb thing aa money ia or can be proporly includ ed, for money cannot be either exported or imported. In foreign trado gold and tilver are aa much commoditiea aa are wheat and corn. In the treasury department are tbreo tablet one covering all "merchan dise," one covering "gold ore bullion and coin" and one covering "ailver ore bullion and coin." These three tablea include all exporta and importa. Wbcn they are consolidated," tbe result must abow whether there hai been a balance in our favor or against on. If the table abowa an excesaof exporta over imports, it ia a balance against ua and clearly a losa of our wealth. If the table ahowa an excess of importa over exports, tbeir balance la iu our favor, and clearly a gain in onr aggregato wealth. Iu tbe tablea which you publish in your num ber of Nov. 21 tbo balance is shown to be largely against us. This balance shows a large aggregate loss during tbe last 28 yeara to tbe peoploof thia coun try. I quote from one of tbe letters I bave received: "I think that if tbe United Statea treasury la a complete measure of the entire results of exporta and imports of inarebanriise and precious metals, you are correct, liut ia it a complete tneus ore?" In what way can tbese three tables, merchandise, gold and ailver, fail to in clude all exports and all imports? There are no commodities exoept gold and sil ver not included under tbe term "mer chandise," and thesa three tables in clude all commodities that it is poind bio to export or to import. The only way that tba treasury reports can fail to be a "complete measure" is tht gold r ailver or aoma article of merchandise should escape the atteutiou of the tie partmmt in getting in or oat of th roaulry and thus (ail Iu be included In ailhtr of tba tables, 1'udar the statute, rubra aud regulallotia of tba treasury derarluitot It is intended that every sport and tea pot 1 shall pais under the observation of the rtlcli and tbat an accoanl will t taken of it.

Thia question, and otbera of similar oharaoter received, indicate, I think, tbat many persons fail to remember tbat money ia a pnrely national creation and tbat it ia impossible tbat money oao appear aa an export or import, be cause it is impossible to either export or import it. Tbe moment an American ooln passes tbe limit of our territory It ceasea to be money. It ia nothing but metal. There ia nothing tbat can be tbe aubjoot of foreign trade exoept commod itiea, The metala, ores, bullion and ooin are no more money in foreign trade becanae tbey are estimated In dollara (onr money of account) than merchan dise ia money because it ia estimated in dollara. Exported merchandise sold In a for eign country ia often paid for by billa of exchange, aent home possibly in the mail. The treasury department of conrse takea no account of thia, because a bill of exchange adda nothing to the wealth of a country. It brings nothing into tbe country. It ia aimply an order from somebody outside for aomebody iuaideto transfer property that is already in tbe country. It ia an order for some bank tbat ia here to pay tbe exporter for bis prodnota sunt abroad. If the drawer of the order haa nothing bere with which to pay, he will bave to aend it. He must send it in either merchandise, gold or ailver. It will then appear as an import upon tbo booka of the treas ury department. Thia aame writer aska another ques tion: "80 far aa money reports of the treas ury go, do tbey not refer only to the money belonging to the treasury?" Most certainly not. Aa stated, tbe ao called "money reporta of the treasury" are tbe reporta of exporta and importa of gold and ailver not as money, but ua commodities. Aside from thi.i, however, it is not the property of tbe government any more tbun tbe merchandise export ed and imported is government property. Tbe tremendous force of the awful showing made by tbe figures of tbe treasury reportj ia fully appreciated by tbe part of the gold atandard advocates wbo really know anything about tbe aubjnet. Tbey know full well that it ia the direct result of the falling prioea of merchandise and tbe increas ed purchasing power of dollara tbat baa brought tbia condition of tbinga about. In tbeir complete inability to make an answer they coin a lie to meet it. Tbtty know tbat tbe bal ance abown by tbe tablea aa an ex ceaa of exporta over Imports represents an exportation of our wealth for which we bave received nothing. Tbey bave lately aet np the claim that tbia greut aum atanda to onr credit in foreign oonntriea and pretend to believe that it ia a balance in our favor, from which we can draw when we desire. Tbia lie, manufactured for tbe purpose of decep tion, ia the foundation for tbe claim tbat we are now a creditor nation, a claim which no man that ia not either a knave or a fool will make. I am glad to have received ancb com ments and iuqeiriea. Tbey are suggest ive and instructive. If in anything Iain mistaken in either my facta or my con clusions, I certainly desire to be cor rected, and I will thank anybody wbo will correct me. No right thinking man can possibly bate any Interest in being deceived or in deceiving himself. What we all desire or ought to desire is to know what are tbe exact facta aud then to be able to draw correct conclu sion from them. Fluvius J. Van Vorhia in Omaha Nonconformist.

BALTJTED THE SPANISH SHELLS. The Son ( Veteran Wlnalac nia Spare Nescroea, Led by m Boy-, Tear Down Barhed Wire Keacee Siron Lin of BattloOld Boldlere a( the front. Copyright, 1898. by the Author.) MIL OOD'S brigade was led on the march from El Poao down to the bloody crossing on Jnly 1 by the rough riders. a i a i ai . iwncu me into was lormea lor tbe charge, tbe rough ridera were at tbe front, a fuot that waa oritioiaed by some of the ofli- I .1 u . ucr vi tun regu lar regiments in tbe brigade. Tbey held tbat it waa done aimply to give its loader tbe post of honor, General Bomuer auid tbat such waa not the cuse, but tbat it waa the turn of the rough ridera to be at the front tbat day, . Home time after Bumner'a brigade, under Colonel Carroll, including the Third, Hixlh uud Ninth (colored), fal lowed by the rough riders, as the rd vaitco of Wood's brigude, had pusrad on beyond Climes' position ut El Poso, the two remaining regiments of Wood, the First United Htates and Tenth (col ored), sturted forward. By the time these two regiments reached the dunger point iu tbe roud tho Spanish fire bad somewhat ubutcd. Iu fuct, but for the balloon the col until would have escaped casualties until it reached the Han Juan fords. The balloon moved just ahead of the Tenth cavalry, which was first in the column. It waa high enough to draw fire, and one of tbe ollicers auid at Camp Wikolf, " What the balloon didn't get hit ns." The firing at tho balloon also caused some casualties from shrap nel and bullets in tbe ranka of the First cavalry. - Fiually the balloon waa pulled down, tbo observers got out, and it waa tied to a tree, where it flouted above tree tops aud still drew fire until the Hpauiurda destroyed it. One of Kent's infuntry regiments had a similar experience with the bulloou, for it waa passing down a trail to the left of a roud where the cavalry his marching and just abreast of it. At Hell's Crossing tbe Tenth cavalry lost half a dozen men. As tbe shells at that point passed overhead with tbeir peculiarly startling shriek, the negroea straightened np at attention and aaluted tbem. Tbe two regiments lay half or three-quarters of an hour in the river bed, which was dry at the time, except at the deepest part, where the river cur rent runs. In order to escape tbe fire they then moved out, changing direc tion twice and passing iu frout of Car roll's brigade to cover under a bigb bank, and lay there another half hour. From this point, looking through the treea in front, as described iu the story of Carroll's cavalry brigade, tbe Span ish position could be seen. It waa well kuown to tbe ollicers what was expect ed of the lino, aud finding in front of them a barbed wire feuoo of six strands, all bauds went to work to clear away tbo obstruction. Tbe men pulled out the posts aud twisted and broke tbe wire, ail tbe time under fire. A boy hero waa developed at tbia time in tbe son of the colonel of the Tenth, Theodore N. Uuldwin, Jr. Yonug Baldwin waa a civilian, wbo went along to see tbe fun. He was 19 yeara old. He bad picked up a carbine, intending to tight along with the rest aud waa foremost iu tearing down the fences. Afterward be charged op tbe bill with tbe line, aud President Mo Klnley Commissioned him for bia gal lautry. After the fence bad beeu level ed the line of Wood'a brigade waa formed, with the rough ridera in frout. Much had bee u said about this, tbat aud tbo other one having iuitinted the charge on iSuu Juan hill. It is evident from what baa been told of the situa tion in Carroll'e brigude that tba liuo oil U vie aud louu Were not li ft to tbeir owu devices at thia crii.

The First waa in tbe third line of tbe brigade. Colonel Viele'a caution about firing waa timely, for there were many ob ataclea to be passed which would break the line, and besides Kent'a infantry on tbe left of tha cavalry waa already working toward the blockhouse. The two oolumna were to converge slightly before reaching their separate goala and might in tbe excitement of battle mis take each other for tba enemy. Tho gallant Hawkins, leader of Kent'a ad vance brigade, Impatient to dash at Ban Joan blockhouse, which be declared that he could take in tbe flank, passed np the road to the front, while tbe cav alry was baited in tbe bod of the creek. Said a oavulry officer, "Hawkins was the fluent soldier there, and tbe cavalry knew him well." All the older regular oflloers are known to all the other ofTl oera and to tho long service privates aa well, because promotion takes thorn from one regiment to another. Hence, although Shaffer's waa a new army, it waa by no meana an army of atraugera. It waa about noon when the line of the cavalrf division was actually formed for attack on the ridge in its front, tbe ground having been reoonnoitered aud points for attack shown to leaders of regiments and squadrons. As usual in such cases, tbe exact time waa not noted down, and porhnpe tbe term noon may be used to cover tbe time between 13 and I o'clock. An officer of the First cavalry auid it took three boura to pasa down tbe roud from El Poso to "Hell'a Crossing, " and that the march began at 8:130. About 1 boura aeeni to have been passed in the bed of the creek by some of the cavalry, perhaps by all. It should be remembered that tbia waa midday,' and tropical midday at that. The soldiers, when inactive, could barely keep their feet. They wore In a valley without a breath of air. They were wet, aoma to the kneca and soma to the waist, from wading in tbe atreams. For more than an hour they bad aeen tho dead and wounded brought into the angle, victims of the Hpanlsh marksmen in frout of tbem on tho crest of the ridgo. It waa thia time, if at all, that tho general impulse to charge tbe hill ewopt down tbe line. Regiments, battalioua and companies hud boon formed to attack. Full directions bad been given with tbe exception of the word "go. " It Is said that just then a volunteer field oflloer, wbo all tho morn ing had been rather beard than aeen outside of his own regiment, oalled ont with a theutrical wave of tbe hand: "Tbia bill must be taken I If there are three men here wbo will go with mo, we will take it 1" Already parta of tbe line were in motion, and ahortly tbe entire column surged forward, carrying tbe excited volunteer along with it, or perhaps swallowing him np, for be was not aeen by the regulara again until they had planted their atandarda on the flrat hill. Obstructions were encountered every fw roda. At the ontset there wore two wlgPN LIK0TKNANT TIIKOIXJKR W. BALDWIN, JR. (One of the Ban Joan herons.
