The London Times, in its financial
summary for 1878, says industries have
been disorganized, credit shaken and
failures multiplied on every hand. Fail
ures will be immensely more than last
year. Not only have wages been reduc-
ed and many thousands of artisans
thrown out of employment, but many
thousands of those above the artisan
class are in either actual want or on the
confines of It. The increasing numbers
driven to grant bills Of sale on their
effects is one significant proof of what
is going IN in the ranks OF the lower
and middle classes.
