THE INDEPENDENTS LIST OF FAILURES

THE INDEPENDENTS LIST OF FAILURH6
To the Editor Of Tie n y Trissn@
Sir: II would doubtless be oae Of the best thiAgs
for the mercantile interests Of this country to have
uniform Bankrupt law, sharing the assets OF the
debtor equally among the creditors, and dischagns
honorably all who proved TO Be honest. IL might be
well in such cases TO have usmes OF bsnkTuP"
officially gazetted as is done in England. But, 1t Is
certainly monstrous injustice to publish the nance
Of portion only of those who fail, and that at the
discretion of private individual aided. as 1t is
supposed, by mercantile agency. Mr.. III. Z. Bowea
is reputed honorable, and probably does Is we'd ~
the Circumstances permit but the fact is. thar no
one man, or one Agency can do even-handed justice
in this matter.
Indeed soon after the commencement Of the list,
in an article defending its publication it was stated
that evidently FOR various reasons they could not IN
dertake to publish crers failure.
Now. Mr. b. did not and would not be very likely to
state one very important reason why all the failures
cannot be pubhshed-vz., because he does not kaor
OF them. Even il information was communicated 70
him hy all the agencies instead OF by only one, ne
would n be certain TO get all and the truth IS many
failures have occurred that have not been published
at all Others have not been announced until long after
their occurrence Others again have been piliored"
who never tailed at all
With, ut supposing that Mr.. Bowen or The Izdepen-
dent be directly bought il Is safe to say after their
own declaration that il is not 10 be expected that al
failures would be published, thar there Is no oougatou
on their part to do So that avotsm would sometimes
be exercised As il is a received maxim that il is bet
ter that nine guilty sh, ud escape rather than one
innocent man be punished ii seems clear that on the
Whole this private performance of what, II done
al al should be public function, Is wrong snd
nuisance that ought TO be abated.
So think not we. 1t would certainly be far bet
ter to have a perfect official list of bankruptcies
than an imperfect unofficial one; but it IS better 70
have this than nothing so that it be honestly made
up Prove to us that Mr.. Bowen, or whoever
complies The Independent lists, dssignsdty omits
failures that he knows to have occurred or gazettes
as bankrupt any who have not failed. and We
will denounce him as severely our constitutional
suayity will allow; but until facts are given, vague
insnustions suspicious that the published List Is
manipulated will go for nothing with us. OF course.
a rooster of peanuts may sometimes fail, owing to
damage sustained by bis stock, through the leaki
ness of his gsrret-roof without being considered
worth gazetting; but that the list is essentially
fair one We have seen no reason to doubt Ed.
