ACCORDING to Bradstreet's report there
is an Increase Of over IL per cent in the
total number of failures for 1884 as
against 1888, probable gain of Al per
cent, in assets and 81 per cent in liabili-
ties. The totals for 1884 Furthermore
promise to exceed any previously record
ed annual total. the largest heretofore
having been given at 10000 failures in
1878, with $234,OOOO0O liabilities. If
comparison may be instituted between
1884 and 1878 with these totals we find
that the current year is likely to have
LOO more failures than that in which
the greatest commercial depression was
experienced prior to the revival of trade
in 1879 and that the liabilities of falling
traders in 1884 promise to be about &c.
100000 greater.

IT IS said that President Arthur is
fairly in the field as candidate for u.
8. Senator from New York. His expert
ence in public affairs and general knOwl-

the position, and should he secure the
position would represent the great state
of Nav York with credit to the state and

In order to determine the feasibility
of opening new route for exporting
the products of Manitoba, the Dominion
government at cost of 100000 has es-
tablished on the shores of HudsOn's
strait and bay seven stations Of Observa-
ton with four men at each. The point
to be settled is whether the climate will
admit of the navigation of the bay and
its outlet for sufficient time in each
year to a route so far north worth con-
sidering. The officers of the Hudson bay
company, and whalers who are familiar
with these waters, assert that naviga-
tiOn is possible there at least three to
three and half months in every sum-
mer. Churchill harbor, ON the west
shore of the bay did not freeze over till
November, and from that point it is
only about FIVE hundred miles to Winnie
peg, and the intervening country is said
to be adapted to an inexpensive building
of O railroad.
A SPECIAL to the Detroit Free Press
from Washington says that plan is be-
ing prepared to reduce the number Of
collection districts Tor customs from 142,
the number now, to 66. IL appears from
the latest official data that in thirty
eight of the 142 districts the cost Of col
lection exceeds the revenue collected !;
that in fifteen of the other districts it
costs between fifty cents and one dollar
to collect each dollar OF receipts; that In
only thirty-six Of the 142 districts does
the cost of collecting fall below fifty
cents; that in only twenty-five of the 142
districts does the cost of collecting one
dollar fall below ten cents, and that in
only eight of the 142 does the cost of col
Letting one dollar fall below Eve cents.
Such q consolidation of the districts
would be hard on the faithful, who for
the past twenty.fOur years have cast
onging eyes toward the green pastures,
and now, when the election Of Cleveland
opens the bars to let them in, to have 30
many good sits done away with would
be little rough on them. We don't be-
lieve 1t will be done, the crowd is too
hungry.

DEMOCRATS have run Ohio absut two
years and nearly every leading city in
the state is wellnigh bankrupt, and the
farmers of various counties have seen
their taxes steadily increasing under
the rule of the promised ''reformers."
This year the taxes are about One-third
larger, and the state has not yet begun
to pay back the $2,C00yC00 to The saloons
which was promised thom for their sup
port of the Democratic ticket in 1884.

GULF BILITY

The wild phantoms and shrieking cries of
worthless humbug can make money by i'm
dosing upon the credulty and ignorance of
an honest public, and the supply of this
species of work seems more than adequate
to the demand.
The enunciation of facts-facts that have
stood crucial tests-facts proven by brain
force and tangible evidence, should satisfy
all laudable enterprises; but the execrable
habit of teaching false ideas and doctrines
for self aggrandizement is truly reprehensi
BILE, and should be scorned by all classes.
When we tell the public that B. B. b., the
great Blood Poison Remedy, contains Iodide
of Potash as one of its Ingredients and when
we, as old members of the medical plOfes-
sion, say that Iodide of Potash is not poi
son, we think it very presumptive for men
outside of the profession to asser that it is a
poison The facts do not warrant such a
eoncl usion, and if those who make the as
sertion that Potash is poison do not know
better, they are set of unenviable igno-
ramuses
| As solid foundation of heavy masonry
has been-built for B. B. B., upon which it is
now proudly perched-the broken arches
and fallen columns of Drazen humbugs will
soon be in search of fresh "cock and bull"
stories and more printers'ink, but merit can
not be downed. Although B, B. B. is only
a year old, yet its effect-its magical and
peerless power over all blood, skin and
kidney diseases, has been indelibly en- stamp-
ed upon the tablets of the money of thou

Compared to other remedies, B B. b. is

McMinnville, Apr. 3, 1885.
Since last week there has been no
material change in the price of wheat.
Corn has advanced in the West, and
also at Nashville, and the indications
are that it will soon advance in this
market.
Eggs have materially declined in all
the markets. On account of the large
home supply, and importation of for
eign eggs, they are very low in the
Eastern markets. Southern eggs are
down to 12c in New York. If the
importation Of eggs is to continue, our
good wives, engaged in the poultry
business, will have to call on the next
Congress for tariff on foreign impor-
tation of eggs.
