If we examine these figures we shall find
that the course OF bankruptcy and of tariff
legislation have no necessary connection.
The crisis of 1857 under the free trade regime
was the occasion OF 4,932 failures involving
liabilities to tie amount of S29l 10000. The
crisis of 1873 during the protection period
was marked by 5, 1873 failures with liabilities
to the extent of S22S. .499 900. In other words
the failures of the great free trade panic,
though less in number, involved a greater
liability to creditors by 500, $50, 100 than the
panic of 1878, Notwithstanding the fact that
the tariff had been lowered 10 per cent in
1872, the preceding year.
The number of business failures in 1857
was, as stated, 1889. 1t decreased slowly
until the out break OF the war, when it
jumped to G, ,993 A further decrease ensued
for a few years, followed by steady in
creases. The number first reached the 10, OCO
mark in 1878; IL then fuctuated for five
years and again touched 600 In 1884, since
which time it has, with the exception OF the
years 1856 and 1887, remained above that
figure 1t has not ouly increased. but has
also decreased under the protective tariff.
IL has not only decreased, hut has increased
during the free TRACE period from 1886 to
1851.
Theincrease in the number Of failures with
in the past twenty-five years is no proof of Il
shrinkage in wealth or decline of pros
perity. 1t Is perfectly natural that the num-
Der Of failures should keep pace with the
expansion of commerce ana population. The
volume of business in 1892 is more than
three times greater than IL was In the decade
ending with 1860
Looked at geographically within the
Uniteu States, the statistics prove r-
refutably that protection has not been the
cause of business failures The great num-
ber OF bankruptcies occur, not in the DIS
tricts whore the tariff has operated most but
rather in those localities which are desti-
Luto OF manufacturing interests. For the
year 1891 the number OF business failures
compared TO the number of parties in bust
| ness, was in tho southern states, / to SO; IN
the Pacific states and territories, l to 49,.
These states are chiefly mining and agri-
cultural. AT the same time, the sim
liar figures for the eastern states
| were l to 81; for the middle states,
to 100; for the western states, l TO l20-all
increasing in prosperity under the tariff
legislation.
IL protection causes business failures, free
trade ought TO secure immunity from such
disasters. But this is not so. The Dominion
| of Canada has a tariffsuch as is demanded
by the democratic party but still it has been
afflicted with oankruptcS4 The figures are:
1885, 1855; 1887, l,25.; 1888, 1871; 1889,
1,777; 1899, 1,si7; lSgfl l,sS9 or IN every
As OF those In business. II Mr.. Springer's
argument be sound, then Great Britain ought
| to be the vory paradise Of business men-its
cases Of bankruptcy ought to be an insignif-
| cant minimum. Whatlar the factsi Ac

proportions. To trace any correction be-
tween these causes OF business failures aud
the policy OF protection would require a per
son OF more than human intelligence. Tho
great majority Of tho failures in this country
or elsewhere arise among enter
prises with less than 5000 capital.
Their projectors either begin business
without sufficient capital or attempt to do
too much business for the capital employed.
The tendency to concentration of enterprise
is not at work In the United States alone.
1t is just as marked in free trade England
and the various countries OF continental
Europe. 1t is the concomitant of the indus
trial age PROGRESS involves change. 1t
means the advance of some and the retro
gresson OF others. II means success for tho
capable and failure for the incompetent and
unfortunate. This failure Ia in business
termed bankruptcy and increasing bank
ruptcy is to be found in every country OF the
civilized world, protective as well as non
protective. VIC RosEwATER.

In spite OF the strong attempts that are
made by the Manawa management to keep
everything Objectionable out of sight Of their
patrons, once In awhile some overloaded in
dividual comes to tue front and raises enough
OF disturb ince to remind people Of what
might be. Yesterday there was a case OF this
Kin on tho motor that reached the city about
o'clock. A gang oil toughs boarded the train
ana tried TO ride to the city for
nothing. When the conductor came around
for the fare they refused to pay. ard when
he wanted to put them off they refused az ain,
SO that the gang and the conductor were at
loggerheads almost throughout tho trip. Of
ticer Ballou of Mannwa happened TO be on

a frisky horse came near causing seriou
accident yesterday afternoon to o couple OF
equally frisKy girls VINO were driving him
on South First street. Near the switch AT
the intersection Of Madison street and
Graham avenue the track runs very close 10
the east sidewalk and the space between
them is only about live feet Ia spite
of the narrowncss, however, the girls
decided to pass motor at that
particular spot The horse became fright
ened and in some way got the rear wheel of
the buggy tangled up with the front platform
OF the car while no dragged the front part
of the buggy across the track. The motor
man succeeded in bringing his car almost 10
u standstill before the collision came, SO
that the buggy was showed sideways only
about four feet. Had the motorman been u
few seconds later in reversing the buggy
would undoubtedly have been capsized and

The New York "world's' Opinion of Our
Former Townsman.
The other representative of the World
wao went especially TO Hamburg for the
New York World is brilliant type of the
newspaper reporter who tells the average
American everything that he knows,
and is frequently abused by the average
American in return. If there is any news
in Hamburg or in that neighborhood Mr..
Thomas Fielders will get it into the com
posing room of the Sunday World just
about as soon as it happens over there.
Half dozen stories could be told to prove
that in the person of Mr.. Fielders The
Worlds staff of reporters is brilliantly
represented in Hamburg, One will do. A
good many reporters on certain occasion
boarded ship in the lower bay to get news
of wreck. When the young men in the
discharge of their duty had prepared their
accounts of the event which they were to
describe, it pleased some little whipper-
snapper in blue to order their tugboat
away and to forbid the reporters to leave
the ship until the papers should have gone
to press. Mr.. Thomas Fielders, now in
Hamburg for the World, made polite bow
to Mr.. Whippersnapper, buttoned up his
manuscript IN his inside pocket and dived
head first off the rail of the steamer. 1t
happened to be winter and pretty cold,
but Mr., Fieders article got into the COM
posing room all right and was printed on
the following day. If there is any news
in Hamburg Mr., Fielders will get it, and
the mere fact that he will get the cholera
or break his neck in the undertaking will
not worry him at all.
