Foreign affairs useil te be the lmwl important in the eyes of our xtatcsineii. It was a feeling that fprangupin the dajs of our youth and weakness, when we did net feel ourselves tn lie altogether the greatest nation in creation. "We have reached u ilif- erent era new- Our internal concerns have come te Ikj mere intciesting te ir than our external, and our ielltlcians propose te imitate the example or their EnuVi'li brethren and make the exchequer the chief cabinet pUce. At lea.st tliis Is the impression of Mr. Hayanl's position, and we judge that he is in sympathy with a growing tuntiment; Mnce vv knew of ether public men who .seemingly would prefer (e get into the treasury if thej should get into the cabinet. Mr Randall is one of them. He is new engaged in dirqussing finance and busi'iess in the Seuth and is wrestling K-verely with the balance of trade question which has nnhevsrctl h many political ecouemlsta. The trouble with tlte doctrine i3 flmt it does net j-eem te lmik the sanie way every time. Prier te our 1S"7 panic, for instance, we bad the balance of trade running heavily against us ; and Ja panic was ilue, according te the doctrine laid dowirferthe time.

A Well Managed TruM. The published report of the condition of the Glrard estate trust fund, m Philadel phia, is a very gratifying exhibit and con trasts most favorably with se much that is done in a shiftless and slip-shed manner in the execution of municipal trusts. Few estates have ever Ihsmi held se well togeth er, and few wills have ever liven se long and se jierfectly eairied out te the sitisfac sitisfac tien of the public and in accordance with the wishes of the testator. When Girard died, leaving three or four million dollars, te lie sure he was a lieli man, but bis fortune would net have lieen, in these days, of very unusual magnitude. Rut these millions by careful husbandry, have lieen swelled te nearly eleven millions, tlie value of the estate te-day. The college property alone is weith three millions and its munificent punese is being realized in the education of an average of from loeo te 1,2(10 pupils. The puqierl) is productive and con stantly increasing in value ; se that for centuries, from present preme-es, the eblect of Giranl'.s bounty will continue in increasing number te shave the blessings of hislienellcenrcand tlie wisdom of Ids well- drawn will. It is noticeable that tlie estate of Asa Packer, of which se much is also employed in the work of educating Pennsylvania's youth, likewise shows large increase in value since his death. The. value of lieth these estates tleieuds largely upon the certain wealth of the anthracite coal in tere.1t of Pennsjlvania; a circumstance which is net without encouragement te these who aie interested in th feitunes of the Philadelphia & Reading railroad company- .

Ilefere half the problems were given out It was evident te the school that the tolu-treublers had moie gum in them than they had ln-en given credit for. I'imdly the twenty-nine problems wcre given, and en eenuthig up the score it was found that the chew era of gum had correctly answered twenty-one, whilnthc gumless six had only eight."

The opinions of American manufacturers are net entirely adverse te the treaty. Neither are the iron and steel makers agreed, by any means, upon the tarilY question. 1 hear of one of the inet advanced of American protectionists, who owns a share In a steel mill and lie is very anxious te have the Spanish ores come in free.

There is a growing disposition among man ufacturers te inquire wlicthcr or net their labor Is mere expensive than foreign labor. The jicr ilictii wages are unquestionably greater, but some of the mere Intelligent of them insist that with longer hours improved machinery, and niore intense application, the American laborer produces mere results for the s.une money than foreign labor. Over at the Allentevviislll; mills, they want free raw materials ; they de net cneoiirage the production of raw silk here, the planting of mulberry tns?s, theeultureefilk worms, or the women's annual exhibition ; they say that as seen as the yearly American crop of silk amounts te CO pounds It will have te be "protected" and the duty en foreign raw silk will close the silk mills of Allentown and Patterson. Thus would the protection of ene small industry crush out many greater es tablishmcnts. tint when it comes te the man ufactured article, the silk spinner wants his ribbons and dres goods "protected" by a sizable ilntv uiwu Preach gmxl", made by "underpaid hand ialwr."
