without violent strain, be brought to nine

We have heard good deal during the last
few years about " the immense profits of
business" but everybody who is in bust
ness doesn't make money. Joseph q. Wal
ker, veteran business man of Worcester,
Massachusetts,, gave the other day some in
teresting facts which have come under his
ffty-six of the most prominent business
men in Worcester in 1916. Of these 20
per cent had failed or we're out of bust
ness in five years, 40 per cent. in ten
years and so per cent in fifteen years. OF
the manufacturers engaged in Worcester in
1910, fourteen failed and fourteen died or
retired with some property. Of the men en-
gagged in manufacturing in 1850, forty-one
failed and thirty died Or retired with prop
erty. Of the manufacturers Of 1860, forty
three failed and sixty died or retired with
property. Mr.. Walker carried his investiga
tions still further, and showed that of thirty
Worcester capitalists engaged in manufac-
lures in 1910 only three left sons who still
have property or who died leaving any. OF
seventy-fve manufacturers of 1850, the sons
of only six are now worth anything or died
leaving anything. Of the 107 manufacturers
of 1861 only eight OF the sons have property
now OF died leaving property. Of 176 men
engaged in 1878 in ten of the leading man-
ufacturing interests of the city only fifteen
were sons of manufacturers.

PROMISE AND PERFORMANCE.

Fre61denG CleVeland 1S going TO De renOm1-
mated, notwithstanding his virtuous and SEN
sibIe protest against second term. We
suppose that he will be voted for by some of
the mugwumps who voted for him before
In order, we suppose, to hold the mugwump
vote for him, the New York Evening Post is
publishing some of the utteranees made by
the President when he seemed to consider
the mugwump support worth having. They
are interesting nov, and somewhat funny too.
In his letter of acceptance, August 1S, 1884,
the President said that it was the duty of
those intrusted with the management of the
peoples affairs to see that the civil service
was efficient, and he added: "And the pub
lie departments will not be filed with those
who conceive it to be their first duty to aid
the party TO which they owe their places, in
stead of rendering patient and honest return
to the people" In his letter of December %,
1884, to the executive committee to the Ma
tional Civil Service Reform league he said;
s'While Democrats may expect all proper
consideration, selections for Office not en-
braced within the civil service rules will be
| based upon sufficient inquiry as to fitness, in
stituted by those charged with that duty,
| rather than upon persistent importantly or
sslf-solicited recommendations on behalf of
| candidates for appointment" His inaugural
| address contained the following gem: "Our
citizens have the right to protection from
| the incompeteney of public employees who
| hold their places eole1y as the reward of par
| tisan service, and from the corrupting in
| fuence of those who premise ,3and the vicious
methods of those who expect such rewards
And those who worthily seek public employ
| ment have the right to insist that merit and
| competency shall be recognized instead of
party subserviency or the surrender of honest
political belief" And his letter of July IA,
/ 1886, said: 'tThe influence of Federal Office
| holders should not be felt in the manipula-
| tion of political primary meetings and nomi-
| mating conventions. The use by these officials
| of their positions to compass their selection
as delegates to political conventions is in
decent and unfair, and proper regard for the
proprieties and requirements of official place
will also prevent their assuming the active
conduct of political campaigns"
1t is instructive to compare these high
toned remarks with the facts. The Presi-
dent who made them found out very soon
that he was no better than his party. There
| has been very "clean sweep" "Ofensive
partisans" are "perniciously active."' And
the President is going to accept another nom
ination, for the benefit, we suppose, of his
country and of civil service reform. There
are many bugs, and one of the most common
and interesting of them all is the humbug.

A writer in the New York Sun has been

ness is now done at loss and that most
of the New York companies could close bu-
siness, and, realizing on their assets, divide
up their property and pay to stockh olders

stock sells for in the market. He looks to
see such disselutions and the absorption by
the great companies of .the business that is

The London Statist presents some interest,"
ing and significant facts concerning the con-
sumption of tea. The amount of China tea
consumed last year was very slightly in ex-
cess of the quantity used in 1864, while the
consumption of Indian, Ceylon and Japan
teas has increased since that year from an
average per month of less than quarter of a
million pounds to over seven and three
quarter millions. Twenty four years ago 81
per cent. of all the teas drunk was Chinese,
but last year the amount of Chinese tea was
only 48115 per cent. This indicates steady
displacement of Chinese tea by the product
of Ceylon and India.
