It appears that the troubles of the
Pntirunn Canal company monn a great
donl more for the American people than
Isnpptiront'on the surface. They ura
now directly nfToctmif the oominorcliil
interests of the United ijUitos , nnd they
involvu n furtlior reduction of the for
eign cnrrylnjj trade in American l > ot-
tbrns. The iifTnlrs of the I'nnnnm Canal
company nro now in the hands ot n
receiver appointed by the French gov
ernment ! and the power thus scoured is
to bo Used , It sootiisi , to dlserlinlnnlo in
lavrK of foreign steamship * ? against
American lines already established. An
effort is to be made , it Is said , to destroy
ono of the few lines of American steam
ships now engaged in fo"olgn trntlo.
Tlio netivlty of European countries in
thi'lr ulTorts to force American vessels
out of the foreign tritdo Is not general.
There Is npcrairtteplty iiggrosslvo war-
fa : o against Aineriu.in ships , HUstalncd
by liberal subshlio Mm tlio pint of for-
Ign govojntnonts. Kot many yours ago
vlr.tt was Icnown us the Clyde lloet ,

ho ntnnbor had been reduced to Ilvo.
The trade had boon sapped by British
mil other subsidized line ? .
England , by its subsidies , has drhcn
roiu the ocean the American line run-
ilng from Sin Francisco to Australia ,
arliulng thu same policy , the English
government H now helping1 its ship ow-
iers In their ctTurls to drive from the
roan the line running from San Fran-
jlsco ti > Japan and China. 'This is not

sh govortuncnt bus placed in : opposition
Inc upon thla roulo , aub-iidi'/.Ing it to
he extent of S1,5'JO ' u trip botwcun Now

s maintained today only by a subvcn-
lon received from Iho Mexican govern
ment. Tlio Aincriuiin lines ruining-
Brazil and Venezuela are having a hard
trugglo against the HU'rsidizcd lines of
jornmuy , Holland , France , Sp-.in and
: ithei'countrios/and a.-o in danger of
laving to succumb sooner or later if the
.inoqunl contest continue ? .
Tho'-e conditions , if allowed to remain ,
mist Inevitably drive every American
vessel out of the foreign trade and place
our manufacturers , merchants nnd
iroduuurs absolutely at the mcroyoDf
the foreign ship owners. Undoubtedly
no question could bo much more vifil to
American interests than the one sug-
cstcd by this state of affairs , and it is
important from a political as well as a
commercial point of view. It has been
suggested that it h high time for our
government to pay some attention to
the Monroe doctrine In connection with
the aggressive policy of commercial
conquest in this hemisphere by European
countries , but that doctrlno hardly ap
plies to the situation. At any rate it
night bo dangerous to attempt to give
it application. Obviously the wiser and
safer corn-so will bo to find u practicable
way of mcotinglthe subsidized foreign
cotnpotition and of giving propar en-
cour ; ) emo.ut to the construction ol
American steamship lines. This svlll
necessarily involve a liberal policy in
mail compensation by the government.
No plan Mint doe. < not embrace this can
be made olToctivu.
O.U.IIIA AS AJOnillXCJ CUXTER.
The Omaha manager of R. G. Dun &
Co.'d commercial agency , Mr. W. II.
1 voberson , takes u very hopeful view ol
the ftiluro of tlio wholesale business ia
this city. The logic of his argument ,
based upon the experience of other
cities that have become great commer
cial centers by reason of their situation
with respect to &ourcos of trade , is abso
lutely convincing. The jobbing trade
of Omaha was almost nothing fifteen
years ago , not because there was not
onterprlbo and energy behind it , but
because rival cities , with Chicago at
the head , wore pusning hard for the
business to which Omahu , Dy virtue ol
her locution , was clearly entitled. The
wholesale merchants of this city had tc
compote with t.lioso of Chicago , Kansas
City , St. Joseph , St. Louis and oihei
towns which had previously entered the
field , and the struggle for business was
a html ono in those days. Now the
Oniahtv jobber reigns supreme in the
territory naturally tributary to this
city. Ono of the largoat wholesale
houses In this city , which at that time
u-as glad to do a business * of 82-30,000 t
year , is now selling nearly $2,000,001
worth of goodH annually. There nro ub
liousos engaged in the groc-ery jobbhu
business in Omaha which claim to huvi
done $8,000,000 worth of business duriuj
IB'Jl. In ether jobbing lines there hai
nluo been great advancement and then
is promise of still moro rapid growth litho
the future.
It is Htuted by good authorities thu
notwithstanding the largo wholesale
trade of the merchants of this city thoj
do not do ouo-third of the bushier
transacted In that line in the st-Uo ol
Nebraska. Mr. Itobcrtion places tin
.jobbing sales oPOmana In this sttto iv
.i-tO,000OOU : for the present year and pre
dicts that In twelve your ) they wll
reach $70,003,000 without t'Uclng nnj
account of the development of the state
by which the figures in.\y ho doubled ,
It is not ( lilHciiU , therefore , ho says , ti
understand how the jobbing trade o
this oUyflf oonllnotl to Nebraska , ma ;
bo quadrupled In ton years. That it 1 :
not conllnod to this stnl-o is wull known

Railroad ofllcinls and grain dealer
deny positively that , a oar f.mil no oxlat :
inthisstito. They oalnt to the fac
that tiio railway yarJs in this olty ar
filled with empty cars and assort tha
the local donv.uid for cars is loss thin i
usual at this season pf the year.
In explanation of the allogol laqk c
cars It U slated that the railroads ar

era" and lu fiwor of the elevator men i

Into the hands of the lutto. % It i
easier to handle the trade of the olc
valors than that of the small buyers , an
the idea appears to bo thut if the laltc
cannot tecuro shipping facilities th
farmers will bo obliged to sell to Iho
olovntor proprietors , which would glvo
the eann amount nf bmlno's to the rait *
roadd with leaj trouble In loading the

"
present how mui-h jusilco" there is
in the charuo that the railroad
companies' are pursuing this policy ,
but the evidence goes to show that
the car shortage of which so much
complaint is made is duo to the unwil
lingness of the comptnies to' provide ,
c.ira for the small buyer ? . _
The statement of the grain" men that
the now crop of corn is not yet begin
ning to move is siirurlsing. A great
deal of corn has been shipped east
during the past month , and it htvi been
supposed that some ot it was this year's
crop. A great donl of the corn in tills
state was lit for shipmoat weeks rfgo.
If all that has been moving this fall is
only wlvit was loft ever from last you ; *
it is evident that u vast quantity of
woslorn corn will bo put upon the mar
ket this your.
This is , however , no justification for
the refusal or fAilure of the r.illrouds to
simply cars for shippers of grain with
out discrimination. Hillroads are com
mon carriers , and they Imvo no right to
favor o 10 olu-H of pttrons lathe detri
ment of any other chus. If there is ; u >
iibunilanco of curs for moving the grain
stored In olov.itoiM , there is no excuse
for .1 shortage of car ? for grain buyers
or irintn raisers.

The anxiety which the democrats
profess regarding the condition ot the
national treasury is quite unnecessary ,
according to Secretary Foster. The
democrats will hardly bo compelled to
issue now bonds to meet the obligations
of the government. They will find ,
remarked the secretary , that the litian-
rial end of the government has been
conducted in a straightforward , business
like mannor. mid while ho was not prepared -
pared to make public at that time the
amount of the surplus , ho stated that it
would bo sulHuienlly largo to disappoint
those who have continually accused the
secretary of the treasury of juggling
with the figures and concealing the
linunrlul statements.
llemarking upon the wonder of the
treasury critics as to where the money
was obtained to keep the mill moving.
Secretary Foster said they appear to
have forgotten that the revenues have
Inc'Oimod moro than $15,000,000. Then
there is the reserve fund in the national
banks in addition to the unexpended
balance in the custody of the various
disbursing olllcors throughout the pub
lic service. By providing that these
olllcors should draw only what they
actually necdeel the secretary of the
treasury was enabled to obtain moro
than § 20,000,000 to moot such demands
as might bo made'upon the treasury.
There are still ether small resources
which the practical head of'the treasury
know'how ' to use to the bast'advantage.
Secretary Foster did not think any now
bonds would bo issued , for the reason
that no party wants to take th-o respon
sibility of increasing the public elobt.
The statement of the secretary of the
treasury will bo reassuring to the
country. That the democrats will find ,
when they como into control of the gov
ernment , that the national treasury has
been conducted under iliis administra
tion in an absolutely straightforward and
signally businesslike manner-there ia
not-a shadow of doubt. President Hur-
rlson was fortunate in his selection ol
the heads of the financial department ol
the government. Secretary Windom
was ono of Iho ablest financiers the
country has had , , and Secretary Foster
has shown himself to be possessed of the
qualities necessary to a aufo and con
servative management of the affairs ol
the treasury , a task far more arduous
than most people havo"any conception
of. A democratic secretary ot the treas
ury may adopt sonao different method
from that in vogue to stale th'o condition
of the public accounts , but that is n
comparatively Irillincr mnltor , and wo dc
not anticipate that Mr. Cleveland will
lind anybody to administer the affairs ol
the national treasury who will do it
moro creditably in all respects than it
has been done under the present admin
istration.

The rapid growth of the military
power of Franco , which has nt no time

tN" order to bo consistent a democratic

practicable to do so , but it the American
people can bo induced to Inlulliircntly
consider what has boon tu'complishod
iindei1 reciprocal treaties they will not
readily assent to the abandonment of
that policy , According to official figures ,
while in 1691) ) the United States exported
to Austria-Hungary but 3943,000 of mer
chandise tlio exports to that country in
1892 reached 31,627,030 , oven while Iho
lutiablo Imports-from that country de
creased from 88,600,000 to $5,000,000. In
, he sumo way the exports to Germany
increased from $83,000 < 000 to $103,01)0- )
JOO , whllo Iho Imports decreased
from 81)3,000,03 ) ! ) to 832,000,000. In
1800 the exports lo all the countries now
embraced in the reciprocity system were
of a value of $129,00,000 : ) , while in 1892
Iho sales ot merchandise to these coun
tries amounted lo about Slo8,000,000.
Yet during the sumo period the dutiable
imports from these countries decreased
from $108,000,000 to $81,000,000. That Isle
lo s-iy , the reciprocity system , while
giving to American manufacturers anew
now home market for ever $83,000,000 of
homo products , has newly opened the
foreign market to nearly 829,003,000 of
\morican merchandise. Surely a policy
thai has produced fetich results is noillior
a sham nor a hV.hbug , and any parly
that proposes lo deprive the nation of
such advantages will taico a great risk
of losing populay ypport.

ana that the t'Onslnncrs should bo satisfied

Graver Cleveland from the oapltol to the
while houso.
Scarcely a day bas passed since it became
known that Cleveland nnd Stevenson wcro'
elected that some picturesque feature for the
inauguration has not been announced. The
200 horsemen from Yircmla beaded by
General Fitzhugh Lee , who marched
in the inuugural procession olgbt years ago ,
are to form' the nucleus of a grand band of
horsemen t from several southern states.
There will bo a regiment at the Texas
