PRosPEcTs OF TRADE.-As TO trade, there
never opened upon the country better promise
Of prosperous season. The country has been
restricted in trade by the financial calamity Of
1857; by the fear Of coming events; by the
shortness Of the crops Of 1853; and by the gen.
eral disposition to pay debts and to economic
expenses. The debts of the country have been
diminished; the imports have been reduced; the
business Of railroads has been curtaied; and
oil this has produced most salutary effect.
| The aggregate debt of Ohio does not, at the
| present moment, exceed twenty per cent. Of its
property, Gncluding all classes of debit and
surely one;ffh of the entire property, in the
| form of debt, is but a comparatively small
| amount. The property Of Ohio is more than
! thousand millions; and its entire debt does not
| much, If any, exceed two hundred millions.
| II Is true, that most of the Central and West
| ern States are not nearly we'll of as this;
but, at the present moment, there are probably |
not halfa dozen out of thirty-two Stntes, which |
are so seriously in debt, as to cause any rea-
sonable anxiety. In truth, whatever may be |
said about debt, extravaganza, speculations, |
etc., ETC., the American people, in 1859, are |
probably the froest from debt and speculation |
of any nation whatever. Extravaganza we
must plead guilty to; simply for the reason, |
that we have had extravagant means. Besides,
with the most extraordinary commercial pros
|
avoiding extravagant schemes, expenses, and
ideas. But, the increase was greater than the
expense, and while the moral effect may be
lamented, it is entirely blameess as to trade
and finance.
The time has now come, when trade reviv-
ing from its lethargy, will be rapidly and pow
erfully extended-partly from foreign imports,
partly from domestic manufactures and chiefly
from the general revival Of industry and COM
merce The prospects of Trade, in 1859, are,
therefore, most fattering.-RaiIrOdd Record.
