and :'reforded' hims=lr as a candidate for the
positiohor !stass senator, To which the Hon.
Edward Bates vas lately elected. The dusEy

judge from the mystic word ''refordtng," already
possesses the senatorial faculty Of hiding his
meaning under majestic words Of the most am

nominated by the people ofJohn's Island andhas
a fair prospect OF running very near the head of

In the above comparison 1t must be
borne in mind that the number Of
traders now reported has been rapid
ly increasing, and that in 1870, we had
On,OUr books 800, 600 reports as against
perhaps $50, ,OOO in 1860. The portion
of failures therefore is not as great as
appears at first glance, the ratio now
being about one failure to every one
hundred and forty persons in busi-
ness.
Taking a general view of the COndi-
ton Of the country, there is much to
encourage the legitimate and cOnserv-
ative trader. The consumes, as a
class, are in a condition of prosperity,
and a large volume Of business must
necessarily be transacted safely, if pru-
dence and economy and a wise dis
pensatiOn in granting credits are con-
sidered. No one need despair in a
country such as ours; WOndrOus fer
tility s0f soil, wide diversity Of eli
mate, vast mineral wealth, ease of
communication, facility of transpOrta-
ton, increasing importance Of manu-
factures, and free political Institutions
are all assurances Of eventual success,
no matter under what Disadvantages
the trade for the time being may labor.

to the steady progress of the country;
but viewing the mercantile cOmmu-
nifty as a class, il is much to be
doubted whether they are any safer to
sell on credit than they were a wear
ago. The reduction Of expenses and
the decrease in cost OF living have
not kept pace with the decline
In profits, or with the in
creased risks of business. If these
conclusions are correct, it is OBJ
viOus that until some amendment
takes place in the business of the eOun-
try the prOphesy that each decade will
witness a crisis may have a fulfil
ment. JIG must be admitted that the
capital employed i'm business is in
larger proportion to its volume than
at any previous year unaffected by
the war or IFS results; that the inter
nal commerce Of the country is greatly
facilitated by a popular, uniform
and abundant currency, while the
means Of communication and trans
pOTtatiOn and the development Of
numerous resources all point TO an
improved condition in which to trade.
But it is impossible to deny that not.
withst8nding all these advantages
there are two or three elements which
need a close scrutiny. a disposition
to over trade, before referred to, is
everywhere apparent. In almost
every section Of the country the num-
ber of persons engaged in selling goods
is in excessive proportion to the num-
Der buying them, and the profits in
every department Of commerce are
shaved down to the lowest possible
point, while expenses everywhere and
for everything are excessive. The
general habit of the community is
still that of extravaganza, one of
the worst heritages of the war; while
a dangerous expansion of credits is
not improbable unless closely guarded
against. These elements, insidiOus,
and in the end disastrous, If allowed
to influence the trade of the country
in the same growing proportion as
they have been allowed to manifest
themselves in the last two Yeas, will
soon be apparent in the increased
of failures; and, at the risk
of unfavOrable criticism, we venture
to call the attention Of our subscribers I
to their importance.
The following comparative state
ment Cf failures is incomplete owing
to the war of 1S62-j, but the figures
for the Northern States and for the
whole Union before and subsequent |
10 these years are interesting:
