It will bo seen TINT tho reduction Of tho
tax.lovy iH Tint Of the bounty debt, the canal
debt, canal awards, md deficiency, all Of
which debt requirements had boon provided
for aud paid oil by tho Republicans in the
levy for 1876. Tho tax of 1876, moreover,
produced surplus rovcnue, after paying off
these dobt charges, Of @i,100, 883. This
surplus WINS available for lilo Government
for tho tnx Of 1876. Whom tho tax for 1876
came to DO levietl, It was found that thcro
was less revenue needed than the ycar boforo
to tho following amount:
Tax for debt paid % by ,evy Of '71.".s5, 7o9 aso
1c,. ,'ts. L. 81 i; 5 S4
Reduction Of necessary .evcnuc $50, 100, $50
with this reduction Gov. T1pEN Inns about
as much to do as had Gov, BEvEn1DoE In
Illinois or Gov. HA7Es in Ohio. Tho 2
mill tax lowed annually under n permanent
law retired that bounty debt, just o. tho 2
mill tax in Illinois, Which, continued for 20
years, paid OF The State debt aud interest Of
illinois, When the debt in Illinois WINS paid,
the tax censcd when this bounty debt IN
New York was paid, the ta1 ceased As
well might Gov. BEvER1paE or Gov.
PA1a1E L, OF Illinois, claim to have reduced
tho taxation million dollars q year, by
the cessation Of tho 2-mill tax, as Gov.
T11psN to claim ho had reduced taxation be-
cnuso tho dobt-tax ceased when tho dnbt for
Which 1t was loviod lad been paid of by tho
means provided by Ills predecessors. It will
he seen TINT tho ontire reduction Of the tax
levy which T1IDEN clnims as ono of his
"markod and wonderful reforms" corrc-
spends exactly with tho amount Of tux used
to pay off tho debt and tho surplus
handed ovor to '11pEv. Illinois once
collected $so0,0o0 year for interest
on her public debt; tho debt being
paid, tho tax for interest WIS no longer
levied. Can any Of tho Governors of Illinois
claim to have reduced taxation because no
tar for interest ID now levicd2 .and yet that
is the whole story Of T1LpENs "marked and
wonderful reforms on which MIR. HEapn1cKs
mud Judge O11s stnted that III DEN had re.
duced tho taxes of tho State Of New York
$4,000, 900 in ono year! It is II eating A1r.
HEapn1oEs, who knows all these facts. with

Of this falsehood would bo disgaocful to n

Der OF failures within the Last year would
at the first glance appear very startling,
and as indicative of the condition OF trade
is 4 most important revelation. But the
circular before u urges some suggestions
on this point that should not BE- lost sight
Of. II says:
"As compared with the number of par
ties in business, the proportion OF failures
does not seem excessive, especially bear
ing in mind how long continued the de-
preston in all interests has been. The
number OF persons now reported in busi-
ness in the United States on the books OF
the Agency are $4,000. or this number ~
40, have failed during the year, indicating
a proportion OF one in every .eighty-two. IL
Is true this i a higher percentage than US
ual: but we question very much II II is
higher than prevails in other countries
under similar circumstances. In our pre-
vlous quarterly circulars we took occasion
to prove, by figures then addnced, the gem
eral correctness ofthis position, and We be-
lieve the statistics OF the failures in 9TH
or cOuntrieS-ior instance those Of Great
Britain or Germany-were accessible Tor
the past year, the number Of failures in
the Cuited states would be found not pro-
portiouately excessive. We are entitled
10 whatever comfort this reflection may
bring to us, especially TO meet the frequent
allegations that our misfortunes are the
r.st,1t of a monetary system differing from
that OF the rest ofthe world. The figures
in the above table from California, where
business is done on gold basis, indicate
one trader in every forty-two has failed;
while In Canada, with low tariff, most
admirable banking system, on gold
foundation and a light taxation, the fig
urcs are even more suggestive, the number
OF failures having been one in every TWEEN
ty-eight. This latter proportion Is very
extreme. aud is in a measure accounted
for by certain amendments 10 the local
Bankrupt Law. 10 avail themselves OF
which large number both in and out OF
business made application for relief before
the eX piration OF given period. Still 1t
Is undenisble that, allowing for this cir
cumstance, the failures in Canada are far
in excess in proportion to those in the
United states.

quency with which failures have been re-
ported. Both because there have been
more casualties to report, and because the
newspapers have given more than usual
prominence TO this class OF items, the pub
lie have been made more familiar than
ever before with these occurrences. The
consequence has been TO eIaggerate in
some degree the number in public estima-
ton, and TO create more apprehension
than the actual circumstances justified.
We are. therefore, glad to be able to pres
ent To our readers the exact figures from
most reliable source-the Mercantile
Agency Of Messrs. r. g. Dun & Co.-from
whose annual circular we gather some
important facts.
The number Of failures in all the United
States show large increase as compared
with those of previous years, while the
proportionate liability is somewhat less
than the average, The following are the
