The Failures Thus Far in 1870.

The statistics OF failures throughput
the United States, for the three months
ending with March, are furnished by
Messrs. r. G. Dunn & Co.'s Agency, The
figures show an increase in mercantile
casualties, which, though expected, is
larger than was anticipated. The mum.
Of failures is set down at 2,SO6, with liza
mlilies OF S64,OOO,0OO. Compared with
the same quarter in 1875, In which the
number was 1888, with liabilities OF $685.
OOU,0OO, the increase il very marked
amounting to 1913 in number, and $26,-
100000 in liabilities. But as compared
with the statistics for the previous quar-.
ter, or the last three months Of 1879, the
showing Is not so bad. In order to pre-.
sent the figures in more intelligent shape
Tor comparison, we group them rs fol-
lows:
First quarter In 1s16.".....-.."..2s 800 Sol O0t@
FuH quarter In ls76..."".."......l,ISi " WOS0V
LAST quarter In ls75"......,.......2,'@ "'o'"VoO
While, therefore, there is slight increase
in the last quarter over that just previ-
Gus to it in number, there is positive
decrease in liabilities. The quarterly
circular, from which the foregoing figures
are taken, remarks:
1.-THE business Of the country, in every
department, continues TO be restricted TO
the narrowest limits; without CORES.
ponding reduction in expenses, and In
the face OF declining prices OF all staples,
the possibilities Of profit have been slight
indeed. 1t Is, therefore not n matter OF
surprise, that 80 many have succumbed 10
the pressure OF the times; the wonder
rather is, that with all the discourage.
ments which in the past two or three years
have been experienced 80 many survive in
condition OF apparent stability. When
all the circumstances are considered 1t
should not create surprise that the statist'
les Of failures show marked increase in
seasons like the present. A condition ol e&-
pan.ion, such Us the large expenditures
Of the war induced, and which u vastly
increased currency caused to be perpet'
uated, could not take place without slim
Mating trade unduly, and causing such
large numbers TO enter commercial pur-
auIIs as 10 crowd all avenues. Of business
with more than an adequate number
even when trade was at Its best. But
now that there is but little business TO be
done beyond supplying the restricted
wants OF the people, the excessive mum
Der in trade must be lessened, and In the
STRUGGLE for existence the doctrine oil the
survival OF the 6tlest receives fresh IL
Illustration. II Is to DO deplored that the
large army OF traders, whose services are
no longer required, cannot retire from
the field, except through failure. Inc
voluntary Withdrawals from business arc "!
in far less proportion than they should oe'
in view OF the great reduction IN It's eS
tOnt."

WHICH SHALL I TAKE


This is oft o serious question with an
invalid. He finds the market flooded with
proprietary medicines, scores Of which are
recommended us certain cures for his Pc
cullar ailment. lie reads the papers, circu-
lars, and almanacs, and finds each sustain.
ed by plausible arguments setting forth It's
virtue and specific action. The recommend
atoms are as strong for one rs for another.
The cures claimed to have been wrought by
one are us wonderful rs those claimed TO
have been wrought by another. In his per.
plexity and doubt, the sufferer iss0metimes
led to reject ali. Butt should be borne IN
mind that this condition Of things is one
that cannot be remeiied. In land where
all are free, the gOod-the truly valuable
must come in competition With the vile and
worthless and must be brought into public
notice by the same instrumtntalily, which
Is ddrertiSing. In such u case, perhaps the
only absolute proof that aremety Is what
1t claims to be, Is TO try 1t. The test OF the
pudding is in the eating OF il" Prove all
things, hold fast that which is good, is tho
apostolic injunction. There may, however,
be stronger preSumptive evidence in favor
OF one remedy than there Is in favor Of an.
other, and this should be allowed its due
weight. a due regard for this may save q
vast amount OF experimenting and u useless
outlay OF money. AS preSlmptiye evidence
in favor OF Ur. Pierce's Family Medicines,
the Proprietor desires to say that they are
prepared by new and scientific process by
which the virtues OF tho crude plantSla
roots are extracted without the use OF par.
ticle Of alcohol. Not particle Of this de.
stroycr OF our race enters into the compoS-
ition Of either his Golden Medical Discoy.
cry or Fayorite Prescription. This consid.
Grafton alone ought certainly TO rank them
above the vile compounds saturated with
alcohol, Jamaica rum, sour beer, or vinegar,
which arc everywhere offered for sale.
Again, they are OF uniform strength, and
their virtues can never be impaired by age.
they are also made from fresh herbs aud
roots, gathered In their appropriate season,
when they are flushed with medical proper
ties. In support Of these claims the following
testimony Is offered:
