Mr.. ClarksOn on st. John.
DENoUNcIsG THE PROHIBITION CANDIDATE
ASA CORRUPTIONIsT.

Mr. Clarkson of Des Moines, member of
the republican national committee, recently
charged in his paper that there was abundant
proof of ST. Johns duplicity and attempted
double-1ealing in the late campaign, and that
he (Clarkson) could give the particulars if he
chose to do so. This brought out reply
from b. F. Wright, the Editor of the Charles
City Intelligencer and Secretary of the State
Temperance Alliance. Mr.. Wright declares
thot Mr.. Clarkson is either mistaken, or that
his political animosity toward St. John is
still hot. He closes with declaring his full
belief in st. Johns sincerity and honorable
conduct in the campaign. Mr.. Clarkson re-
turns to the charge by declaring his belief in
Mr.. Wright's own sincerity, but denying that
attribute to St. John. Mr.. Clarkson says
that he has the proofs of Governor st. Johns
two facedness, but that they are of conf
Dental nature, and he cannot divulge them
without express permission from ST. John.
If Mr. Wright Clarkson says, will secure
Governor St. Johns permissio g, the full de-
tails will be forthcoming.
Mr.. Clarkson in speaking of the matter,
says that no offer was made on the part of the
epublicans to induce St. john to abandon his
canvass, and concludes in the following lam
guage: at is time for this scoundrel, who
has so long made merchandise of the cause
of prohibition to his own personal gain, and
VINO cares no more for it, in fact, than the
highwayman cares for the moral law, to do
two things first, to stop lying about the re
publican party and its national committee.
and, second, to stop hiI pretence of being a
prohibitionist and temperance man. and
take his position straight with the democratic
party and the liquor interests, with whom he
has become in fact practically identified.
We give him this wise and affectionate ad
vice, knowing it to be for his own good, If
he keeps up his lying about the republican
party, the committee will be obliged to inform
the public of the overtures he made to it to
sell out his candidacy, and il he continues to
parade himself as prohibitionist, when he
is in fact the meanest traitor and most injuri-
Gus enemy it has ever had in the United
States other people who know the truth will
be compelled, in justice and fair dealing. to
tell it,

nearly every State is larger than the ma
jority in the said State for either political
party at the presidential elections. In
some of the States it is from forty to fifty
per cent. of the whole number of voters
hence the decision of the presidency is
always in the hands of those who cannot
read the ballots they cast. Through ig-
norance they either do not perform their
political duties at all. or do it imperfectly
and under thesdirection of some designing
leader. This is a constant menace to free
institutions. The productiveness of the
labor of the illiterates is from twenty-five
to fifty per cent. less than it would be il
they were educated to the extent of the
usual common school course; hence illit-
eracy is great hindrance to the growth
of national wealth. The ignorant in the
United States produce twenty-five times
their pro rata proportion Of paupers. and
ten times their pro rata proportion OF
criminals; hence. as a consequence oil
illiteracy, they impose heavy burden
upon the rest of the community. These
are strong arguments in favor of the pas
sage of the bill. which has already passed
the Senate and now awaits the action o.
the House.

A Bad Year for Business.
MORE FAILURES IN 1884 THAN BEFORE SING
1878.

1878.
The annual report of Bradstreets received
Dec. 81, shows that the year which has inst
closed has been a very disastrous one in
point of failures in business throughout the
country. As far the number of houses
that have collapsed, go. there has not
been any approach to the number that
failed last year sine 1873 when the
number reported was lO,47S with aggregate
liabilities of 1924 1888, 1872. In 1884 there
were 1868 failures, the liabilities in the ag
gregate being 1926, 343, i27. an increase of
numbers over those during the preceding year
of | ,lS4, or about 20 per cent. However, the
percentage. as compared with that betw cen
The years of 1882 and 1888, which was SO per
cent, is much less. The liabilities of the
past year amount to over S226, 900, as against
Sl72,S74 Up, in 1888, and compared with
1881, when the liabilities were only S9l 1861
922, this shows great advance. Of
the number of failures reported during
1884 the greatest number occurred
IN the Western States, where, out of 1861
business firms 1863 of them went by the
board, having aggregate liabilities of $751;
S72,9S3 Next in order come the Middle
States with 1852 failures out of 27S,093
business firms, with liabilities of SIP $685.
060, and then the Eastern States with ,375
failures-92, 3S1 frms-.with liabilities of
SI7, 223, S3l. The least failures occurred in
the Pacific States and Territories, where
thev numbered l,34l out of 54,48l firms,
with total liabilities of Sl3,071. 1876. New
York and Brooklyn had more failures than
any other cities in the Union, 7lS being
reported out of A, 500 firms doing business,
with liabilities of S77,S75,72l. This is an
increase in these cities over 1888 of l73 firms
and of S45, 665, 800 in liabilities The next
city is Chicago, where 3Z9 failures. with
S6,946, $50 liabilities, failed during the
year, being an increase in nmbers of so
The city most fortunate is St. Louis, where
only So failures occurred. with $5,S49, 456
liabilities, which. however, is an increase
over the previous year. The State in which
most failures occurred is New York, leading
with ,424 collapses against l, 100 during the
year before. while Delaware with q failures.
is the most fortunate. Wyoming had but
failures during the year and Idaho 8. Alaska
is fortunate without a single failure The
failures in the different cities. beside those
already mentioned, are as follows: Boston,
305, against 235 in 1888; Philadelphia, 225,
against ia in 1885, Cincinnati. ll2,
against 70 in 1888; San Francisco. 220,
against l4S in 1888. The average liabili-
ties for the past year are $50, 632. In the
Dominion of Canada there are reported 1927
failures during the year out of 60 1894 firms,
with aggregate liabilities of 9.l9l. 306. In
1888 there were 1854 failures and Sl5,949,
