The Business Situation.

Here is a brief summary ii TIE business
situation of the country, Which The c liam
ity shriekers both OF the Farmers Alliance
and of the Tariff Reform Lelguc-twin
prophets of misfoltunt-would do We'll to
heed:
1.-The year 1891 closes like an autu nnal
day, when tie sky radiant in bright col
ors, gives promise OF Il golden to- morrow
Never We're the trade and commerce uI the
country SO large or more prosperous, nor
the harvest SO varied and phenomenally
abundant as in 1891. The last day OF the
year finds the foundation for year of un-
exceptional prosperity well laid. Over
taxed railways, overwhelmed barns, over
burdened elevators and warehouses, null
tipll ing industries, no cloud betokeniny
war, famine or pestilenc, confidence gen
Grad and money easy are conditions ali lee
ognized AS harbingers OF q golden New
Year.
This is no assertion of a '.preiudiced''
Republican newspaper, but it is the utter
ance of great Independent business jour
nal, the American Grocer, and it is faith
full summary of the spirit OF large num-
Der of interviews with m erchants, bankers
and manufacturers OF national reputation
One and all are of the opinion that 1892
opens with the brightest prospects foc
American industry, and with nothing but
encouragement and humiliation for It's

compulsory pilotage, or any other tax on
commerce? There is no letter or syllable
in that document that grants any such
right or authority. Every man interested
in shipping should do all in his power to
break up this system of compulsory pilot
age.
1t has been presented as an argument
against the abolition of compulsory pilot
age, that it would throw so many men
out of employment. Then we are to be
made the victims of this ungodly law for
the sympathy people have for these plum
derers. Could a more unjust argument
be presented than Understanding money
by an illegal process to maintain a monop-
oily because the members of that organic
alton will be obliged to seek other employ
ment when deprived of their license to
rob our shipping. How long would such
a law be tolerated were it applied to any
other business on the face of the universe?
If the shipping interests were in favor OF
this law, and wanted it continued, it
would be quite another thing; but nearly
every man interested in shipping is oppos-
ed to it, and if for nothing else on the
grounds of its compulsion, which alone
stamps its injustice and makes it obnox-
ious to the people. Any law that com
pellS me TO employ announcer person ser
vices against my WILL and to pay an eNor-
bitant price for such service, has no legal
right to exist. 1t is contrary to every sys-
tenn of Justice There is not. l venture
to say. twelve men in the whole of New
England who are interested in shipping
but that are utterly opposed to this com
pulsory pilotage law, which is kept in ex-
istence by powerful monopoly.

A Prosperous Year in South Dakota.

Mr.. c. G. Ferguson has handed us a re-
cent issue of the Daily Argus-L Leader, of
Sioux Falls, So. Dakota containing some
crop statistics which are certainly surpris-
ing. Says the Argus-Leader: ....
The year 1891 stands as an illustration of
what South Dakota is able to do for the
world. Briefly stated the agricultural out
put for the year was as follows: Wheat,
1000, 600 bushels, worth S4s, 900, 600;
corn, 30, 900, 600 bushels, worth SIP, O00,-
600; oats, 60, 600, 600, worth SIS, 900, 600;
flax, 6,O0O,OO worth $1,000, 900. This
gives a total of 1856, 600, 600 bushels of
grain, worth s7s, 600, 600. Adding the val
ue of barley, rye, potatoes, cattle, horses,
hogs, butter and eggs, etc, the total value
is between $780, 600, 600 and S110, 600, 600
This estimate is not intended to cover the
mining, cattle and agricultural output of
the Black Hills, but that portion of the
state which lies east of the Missouri river,
and which has population little less
than 300, 900 souls. An income from the
farms of from $500 to $3.50 for every man,
woman and child in the country is a most
gratifying result.
No wonder that the Argus Leader, in an
editorial under the caption of "a Great
Year." exclaims: ''South Dakota is hap

1t Is o point noted by managers that no other
actresses In the variety or comic opera busI-
ness have such lavishly abundant ward
robes as tho double-jointed theatrical stars.
Their glorious array OF tights surpass any
thing that the theatregoers could imagine.
The tights are all made Of silk OF tho best
kind, and the same pair is never worn twice In
succession. Miss Girard brought n dozen
pairs. no two alike in color. to the Casino.
Miss Julian says that she has half u hundred
pairs. and little Miss Clayton has so many that
tho property man says that It makes him dizzy
to keep track OF them all. This abundance OF
stunning apparel Is rendered Indispensable
because Of the wear and tear OF the special

tights than 1t Is on the young women.
