NERVOUS PROSPERITY.

Doctor Tariff Reform —You are a very sick man. You ought to go straight to bed and take my medicine. Uncle Sam —No, I think not. With'exports for 1900 of $1,743,163,1512; with Imports of $1,226,015,379; with a favorable trade balance of $517,148,233; with business booming; with all labor employed at the highest wages ever known, I don’t seem to need any tariff reform medicine just now.
