The Half Years Failures.

New YORK, July 1.-The business
failures for the first six months of the
present year are reported by Il. Il.
Dun & Co., to number 6,074; as against
5,3s5 during the same period in 1890
The increase of $50 failures is unusually
large. The extent of the liabilities is
also excessive. The amount owing by
the parties who have failed in 1891 foot
ing up to S92, ,OO0,O 900, while for the
same period in 1890, they were only
$685. 900, 0GO, indicating an increase in
liabilities of S27, 10000
Notwithstanding the extreme extent
of these casualties snd other adverse
circumstances, the reports from all por-
tions of the country furnished for the
semi-nnnunl business outlook, indicate
fairly healthy condition of trade, and
excellent prospects in view of the large
increase of wealth from growing crops,
and active industrial enterprises.

GREAT, BUT DEFEN6ELE6S.
The Coast of the United States at the
Mercy of Other Nations.

NtftN VI obhNE NalitllHs
CINCINNATI, March 13.-The Times
Star publishes the following from its
Washington correspondent:
1t is odd that some men Of intelligence
are heard expressing sorrow that this
nation is acquiring means OF defense
They are panied, so they say, at the cir
cumstanCe. One person VINO lately oc-
cupiad a seat in the United States senate
denounces the expenditure of money for
warships as wasteful, and gives three
reasons, viz. That some time improve
ments will be made that will lessen the
formidableness of fghting vessels of to-
dav: that land batteries are better for
defense than floating ones and that any
how there is no need Of navy because
the me @ numbers of able-bodjed citi-
zens will deter other nations from at
tacking us.
These arguments are sophistical. The
age of progression which was inau gurat-
ed by Adam when he donned his hg leaf
will continue as long as time continues,
and no one but an ass would refuse to
partake of the feast set by genius to-day
because it viii set a better on the NOR
row. It is our daily bread that sustains
us. AS to land batteries, they are nee"
essay, but the experience OF many wars
has proven that they are 70 be regarded
but as auxiharies of the navy, a sort Of
lat resort in case of the defeat of the
ships sent ont to meet the enemy. Who
needs t. be convinced that it were bet
ter to have a battle fought at sea than
in the vicinity of = city into which
shells would he thrown during the COM
bat.
The late Admiral Porter wrote: For
the full protection of the coast there
should be three lines Of defense. First,
the outer line, combining the heaviest
iron clads, guns and torpedo boats; sec
ond. Notifications on which the vessels
can fall back in case OF reverse; third, an
army to meet the enemy in case he at
tcnlpts a landing But it may be re-
marked that without the first line the
second line and the third line viii be Of
very little use.
To-day the United States has not a
sing'e vessel that would have any
chance of success in an engagement
with first-class battle ship. Even
1espised China could easily annihilate
our navy and every coast city, ana It
Daily tobacco leaf-chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1890-1895, 1891-03-14

will be at least four years before al the
armored vessels of the new navy are
ready to go into commission and afford
some. degree of protection. These vesse $,
and especially the three coast-line
battle ships known as the Boutelle ships
will embody the latests improvements
in naval architecture, and viii carry
guns able to punch holes in anv
other war vessel afloat. They will
be the most powerful fighters in
the water, will be fine examples of the
superior inventiyeness that Americans
have on occasions demonstrated the pos
session of and will be in all respects
better than the best ships of any other
navy. They will have a coal endurance
of 5000 knots, will carry an armor 1S
inches thick, will be 34S feet long AMI
SO feet wide, their mean draught will be
"a feet and their displacement will be
10000 tons. They will carry main
battery of four thirteenth h, eight
eight-inch and four six-inch breach-
loading rifles, and the secondary battery
will consist of sixteen six-pound,
and four one-pound rapid-fring
guns and four Gatling guns.
They will be as nearly invincible
as a vessel can be, and every citizen of
the United States should rejoice at their
completion. Only fourteen armorel yes
sells, such as We're meant by Admiral
Porter when he wrote of the first outer
,ine of defense, having been authorized
by congress, In addition to the three
coast line battle ships mentioned there
are being constructed three iron and one
steel low fIee-bOard barbette turret
coast-defense ships, two iron doube-tur-
ret ships, two armCred steel cruisers,
one armored steel bate ship,
IN armored steel cruising moni-
tor and one steel harbor-defen
ram. Five of these ships were begun
over sixteen years ago, but We're not
completed because of the refusal of con-
gress to make required appropriations.
Various changes have been made in
them from time to time, so that they are
not of an obsolete and useless type. and
can be depended upon for the perform
ance of trying duties in case they are re-
quired. One great characteristic of
these ships is that they are designed
for service at home, They are essen
TALLY cOast-defense vessels. Not one of
them has coal endurance of over 5000
knots, while many of Fnglands IRON
clads carry enough coal to enable them
to steam 10000 knots. and they are Just
as formidable as the large ships, whose
greater size is to admit of the carrying
of more coal. The new navy is not
being built for conquest, but purely for
defense and no one can with pronriety
complain.

Kitchen Daily.


WASHINGTON, March 14.-Although
the bill to construct a'home for the pres
ident beside the White House came to
the very verge of becoming a law,
Chairman Milliken, of the house COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds,
who had it in charge, says it cannot be
successful under such a rule as congress
is about to enter upon.
1t looks as though the home of the
president would continue to be public
place for many years yet, and strangers
will continue to demand admission and
receive it at all times of the day and
night, in the interest of common curios-
ity, About forty persons ask to be
shown through the kitchen and led
chambers every day, and if they are re-
minded that portion of the executive
mansion is a private household, they
turn away with threat to vote the
other ticket next time.
