uses least money of all kinds, in proportion to
uopulatiOn or number of firms in business, 1s
also the section in which the ratio of failures
is smallest The lunatics who are clamorlng
for more money" are not able to explain the
fact, AID do not dare to meet 1t,
The true cause of the alarming increase in
proportion of disasters is that prolonged un-
certainty which the clamor Of infatiomsts and
repudators produces. EOt unnaturaliy, this
uncertainty falls mos heavily upon those Sec
tions aud cities in which the business trans
acted is most largely dependent upon commercial
confidence. Failures in Rhode Island average
more than 2 per cent, in Connecticut more
than 2la per cent, III New-Y York City, Cincln-
natl and San Francisco over per cent; and
in most of the commercial and manufacturing
States a-d cities approach . per cent. But IN
tho agricultural regions they are relatively
less numerous, in several SOuthern States fall
ing below 1 per cent, and in mono approach
ing per cent ; in Ohio outside of Cincinnati,
in Iowa, in Missouri outside of st. Louis, and
in Kansas, falling below 1 per cent, and In
other Western States little exceeding that ratio
All these facts prove that it is tho commercial
and manufacturing classes which suier most.
The farmer can live on his land. The mer-
chant or manufacturer cannot live il CONNER
cial credit is destroyed.
OF necessity. the farmer has to bear his full
share of losses, before all is done. He, like
the mechanic and operative of the East, cam
not strike down commercial credit without
losing at least as much as the capitalist at
whom his blow is aimed. Lower prices for
products, lower wages for labor, and higher
rates Of interest, inevitably bring homo the
suffering to voter whose blind antagonism TO
investors causes mischief. The investor sui
fcrs first but can afford to suffer longer than
the labOrcr and can protect himself against III
ture loss better than the farmer lie can
move his money; the farmer cannot move MS
farm. He can exist though business here is
Sta:nant; the labOrcr must find work OF
s;arvc. Thus the worst suffering, whenever
the foundations of commercial confidence are
shaken, always falls upon the men who ap-
pear to be lcaet dependent upon commercial
credit Very often thcy strike the blow, and
others feel il first, rs the records OF failures
show. But the fumcr and laboror feel It

Senator MOrtOn'S poSthumOus report on tn
Chinese question, given elsewhere, exhibits, in
more striking way than yesterdays culogicS
in the Senate, the peculiar qualities of his
mind 1t is practical, positive and earnest; /;
cntertains no doubts and urges all It's con
clusions with the strength that comes oi
sincerity. The Senator made what is at least
m able argument for the Chinese. He de-
uounced the proposal to keep the Chinese
away from our shores as simply the revival on
this side of the Pacific OF the cid policy of cX
c,usion. l,hch China and Japan have themselves
recently discarded lie declared that this was,
after all. only another prejudice against color,
and believed "thcir difference in color. drc,-.
"mapners aud religion to have more 10 do with
"thi, hostility than their alleged vices or any
"actual injury to the white people, Instead oi
finding that the presence of Chinese labor had
undermined t. c Caucasian race, the senator
came TO the conclusion that white labor was
more constantly employed and better paid than
elsewhere in the United States, and was
strengthened in his views by ,hc testimony of
business men that many great ENTERPRISES
could not have been carried on without
the Chinese. Locking t. the past, - latOr
Morton lclicyed that their presence had
been a great benefit to California. and
not an injury Looking to the future,
he declared that the Chinese would never be
plopcrly protected, until they were mad" citi-
zens. In fact, the Senator regarded the Chinese
problem from the first as he used 20 regard
the problem of Southern slavery, ana it may
be that ne did not make sufficient allowance
for the points of difference. It must also be
remembered that his report was the fruit Of
brief and necessarily somewhat hasty cxami
nation of the subject. But, at the same time.

lir. Richard VI. Hunt is 80 be congratulated on u
verdict IN the stevens building case, valuable
enough pccuniaIily, but much more valuable
from professional point of view. The building i'll
question is one of the most conspicuous structures
in the yicmity of Madison-square, and its north
front is undoubtedly the noblest specimen Of ornate
architecture in brick to be seen in the city. For
certain defects Of construction in this building, and
particularly for the settlement OF the foundations at
one corner and which 81 time looked as fi would
ioppe the whole lofty structure into fifth-aye.,

the mislap had been used rs far as possible, to ms

Recognition comes slowly enough sometimes,
to those that need it most. The commander
who, more than seventeen years ago, saved the
passengers and crew OF the COnnaught from
death, and who would have been well rewarded
then If the war had not prevented it, has
at last received, i'll his blindness and poverty,
the recognition of the Life Saving Benevolent
Association. 1t is creditable to the AssC-
citation that it should have now supplied the
omission Of others.
The debate on the Address, in the British
Parliament, adds little to the information at
the command Of the British public. 1t
renders it certain, however, that the
Government has not committed the nation to
wtrlikc measures, that it viii defend only
British interests ~ and that comparative
harmony exists in the Cabinet. IL fol-
lows that until the Government can
show that what it calls British inter
ests are impeIilled, it will be bound to
pursue neutral course. The vigilance of The
Liberals will, however, be needed 10 keen i in
the right path.

Later dispatches throw no now light on the

fact both the Railroad Commissioners and the
