MORE PRICES RAISED.

Among the manufactured articles that
have been trying to hold to old prices
in spite of the MCKINLEY bill; is paint,
including color and varnish. NORTON
BROTHERS, of Chicago. on the first of
the year called in their price lists to ad-
vance prices. They state they had held
out at former figures, hoping for re-
action in tin plate, which causes the
higher prices, but it has not come. All
the manufacturers of articles sold in
tin cans have had more to paw for their
cans, and naturally push it on TO the
consumers. The house builder has to
stand the increased cost of paints, oils,
varnish, lumber and other articles used
in his structure. He will add to his
rents if he can. and divide with his ten
ants when he is able. The MCKINLEY
burdens are apt to reach those least able
to carry them.

knowing he was insolyent and could
not pay it back, and he should not re-
ceive any more consideration in this
court than any other thief" said Attor-
ney Charles Hughes in court this after
noon. Hughes represented one Roger,
a type of the numerous small depositorS
i'll Kean's insolvent bank. Wien the
lawyer spoke he turned and faced the
banker whose failure, with liabilities of
Sl,500,000 has caused so much comment.
Mr.. Kean sat amongst his friends on the
benches in the rear of the room, and
Hughes, dramatically shaking finger
at him, continued:
''But his lawyers say he is banker,
man of breeding, man who has been
held high in the estimation of the pub
lie, and hence should not be Inundated
like common criminal by being held to
the grand jury. What rights has he as
banker that any poor unfortunate fellow
has not who comes into this court
charged with a crime. | demand of
your honor to allow this matter to be in
veStigated by the grand jury. Whether
he is indicted or set free, then your duty
is performed and you cannot be blamed
for holding him."
Justice Hamburger, in deciding the
case. said that, however unpleasant the
duty, he believed that there was proba-
BILE cause for the supposition that s. A.
Kean knew he was lnSOlYent when he
received Rogers money, and he would
therefore be compelled to hold the
banker to the grand jury in the bonds
of $1,000 The testimony showed that
Roger made deposit about three hours
before the bank closed its doors for the
last time. Mr.. Kean's attorneys caused
a sensation by and for the de-
Tense the charge was so trivial.
They contended that the Grim
inal charge against Mr.. Kean was
solely to force him to settle with Roger.
Attorney Hughes read decision by the
appellate court showing, he said, that a
banker is in law assumed to know at all
times whether he is solvent or not.
Then came another scene. Referring
to the celebrated Peruvian eXtradition
case, the lawyer slowly said:
''Kean sent Ker, dishonest cashier,
to the penitentiary and spent $4,000 to
do it. Now he ought to go there him
self, for he has robbed the poor"
After the decision holding MIR. Kean
to the grand jury, the banker promptly
furnished the required bail and was re-
leased.

THE GOOD WANTED.

A casual analysis of the statistics
of immigration the past year shows
the need of more effective dis
criminative measures. Not counting
the Chinese who ooze in from Canada
and Mexico, it is apparent that in a
largely increasing ratio the accessions
are from the countries that send more
cheap contract labor than families to
become permanent and useful residents.
For the last fiscal year the British isles
sent 67,S1S males and 1896 females;
Germany, 50,92S males, andl 41.5O4
females; Sweden and Norway, 1918
males, and 1850 females. About three
fourths as many women as men means

JACKsON's DAY.

Jackson's day. as the Sth of January
is called. has not been of recent years
SO generally observed by the admirers
of old JACKSON as in the earlier times.
Those familiar with Gen. JACKSON, or
who voted for him, have been growing
fewer in number. The party questions
have changed materially since JACK
SONS time: but his most striking atti-
tude as a civilian was as the aggressive
opponent of great financial monopoly.
He has had no successor as demonstra-
as the rights of the people when in
jeopardy from chartered privileges or
monopolistic entertainments. To a
rarely equaled extent the COM
mon people looked to him as
their answering champion, and
the facetious legend that some
of the survivors of his era require his
name still at 1.-THE head of their tickets
is an evidence that he had a strong
mans grip upon his political support
ers. 1t is a good time to remember him,
in view of the suggestion afforded of
his devotion TO the great principles of
equality of privilege. in the recent
popular expression. Perhaps, too, spe-
cial pertinency in the celebration of
the Sth of January may be found in the
war cloud that hovers about the seals in
Behring's sea. 1t is the anniversary Of
the battle of New Orleans, the blacklist
eye an invader had ever received on the
continent. If any are in belllgerent
mood toward Great Britain, they can
find comfort in recalling the splendid
victory on the lower Mississippi sew
enty-six years ago to-day. 1t is true
that it was fought too late to affect the
duration of the war, and might not have
transpired had there been Geographic
connection between the war depart
ment and the. armies in the field. But
it was not a useless battle. 1t aided
materially to forget the disasters on the
Canadian border and in the East. The
capture of Washington and burning of
the capitol were notifying expert
ences, and would have ranked in the
memory of the people. aiding to dis
perse cenciliatory feeling, had not the
brilliant wnd-up at New Orleans have
come as palliative. 1t was terrible
punishment to the redcoats at almost
no expense to the victors. There have
been vastly greater conflicts in the later
fratracidal contests, but patriotism and
national pride had their fullest scope in
the punishment and dismay of the for
eign invader. 1t has helped to keep the
l1a two nj
since, and the pacific era it inaugu-
rated will hardly be broken up by Mr..
15LAINE and his seals.

families. This is the sort of immigra-
ton for which the gates are always
spread wide. There can not be too
much of 1T. But the incoming crowd
grows mainly in other quarters. In the
period Italy, Russia, and Austro-Hun-
gary sent about 1oa, 900 men and $4,000
females. This means that they are
very largely single men, or those who
leave their families to come over and
make money to take back to their homes.
They are often imported in spite of the
law, to take the place of American
citizens with families to support. and:
paid starvation wages. The need of
more effective measures to do the win
moving business is not often questioned.

GOOD OUTLOOK.

The disturbance in the financial cur
rents the last few months of 1890 may
be presumed to have left some impress
upon the record of the year. 1t added
materially, no doubt, to the list of bust
ness failures; yet the aggregate for the
year. as shown by r. G. Dun & Co., is
but the trifiing number of twenty-five
greater than the year previous. This is
really falling away as percentage of
the parties in business, as they increase
by thousands each year. There were
about 1000 failures, with an increase
of SAL 100000 in liabilities; but this was
mainly due to few big speculative
failures, not materially affecting sub
stantial interests. The record shows
that the stringency of the latter part of
the year had little permanent effect, and
that the financial conditions are favor
able for good year to come, in bust
ness way.
