: AN evil which confronts the republic
Is the tendency to wink at, and in
somo cases, to facilitate, the use of
moro than one language-to tolerate
the use of any but the English Ian
guage in this country. Language
means the distinctive ideas, customs,
feelings and aims of the people who
speak it. The English language, at
least the American form of it, means
American thoughts, America customs,
American feelings and purposes. The
German and Scandinavian and. Russian
and Italian languages are the vehicles
of things entirely different from, and,
In their inevitable character, hostile
to the best type of Americanism.
These latter are the languages of mon
arches; the former is the language of
a republic.

II. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review OF
Trade for week ending Aug. s, says:
Depression In some great industries contin-
ues aud is real, but may be traced to caus-
es obviously not permanent. Thus the iron
mani acture is much set back by the inabil-
ity of railroads to make purchases, because
they fail to negotiate securities. Cotton
manufacture, retarded by the extraodin-
airy fall In the price of cotton and conse-
Quent losses on goods made fIom material
purchased early in the past year. still finds
a fairly large demand, and at some reduc-
ton In prices most goods are moving freely.
The wool manufacterer is distinctly improv-
ing. In mems wear goods there is more
encouragement and many western buyers
now here have from home advices that
goods are selling more freely. Spring orders
are still snort OF the usual amount, and
last year clothiers bought too much OF
cheap low grade goods. In dress goods a
fair commission tnsiness is seen, domestic
products largely taking the place of
foreign. Prices OF commodities are going
down, and for the first time this year the
general level Is lower than a year ago,
having declined y per cent the past week.
Wheat has fallen three quarters of cent
in spite of experts greatly exceeding last
years, and the enormous western receipts
make constantly repeated assertions that
the alliance can hold back wheat appear
ridiculous. Western estimates, not usually
extreme, now allow from $4,000 900 bushels
upward for the crop, while even more mod
crate eastern estimates make 1000 600
bushels for export Corn is IL C lower;
pork products fraction lower; coffee an
eighth and oil one cent lower. The busi-
ness failures occurring throughout the coun-
try during the last seven days number 23t
as compared with total OF 247 last week.
