Have Fears Despite Prosperity.

r. G. Dun & Co. $ weekly review Of
trade says.
Actual business is surprisingly large for
the season, and yet grave fears about the
future are entertained Congressional UNI
certainties cause the fears, but the pros
perity and needs of the people make bust
ness what it is Never before has the dis
tribution of products to consumers been
larger than it has been thus far this year
Hence industries are remarkably prosper
GUS The volume of trade measured by
clearings in January was nearly II per
cent larger than in any previous year and
the railway movement shows a great in
crease in the tonnage trans ported. Yet it
Is probably safe to say that rarely it ever.
except in time OF panic, has business
been more cautiously and conservatively
regulated Monetary uncertainties are
excused by the continued outgo of gold,
but the passage of the anti option bill by
the Senate has had no effect upon the mar

why Our Debts Are Increasing.

Here is statement OF how the
wealth Of this nation is absorbed.
Inasmuch as our estimated produc-
ton OF wealth is $2,900,000 per day
above all expences Of production and
maintenance of the workers, it will
be seen from this way our debts are
increasing in time of peace;
Average cost of United States gov
eminent per day, oyer $l,000,000; in-
terest Of public bonds per day, $780,
600; interest on railroad bonds per
day, 100000; interest on private
debts, &,400,000; dividends to absent
non-working holders of railroad,
bank and Industrial stock, 100000;
total, %,370,0O0; less daily net pro-
duction, $2,800,000
Excess Of outgo over income, GOV.
cred by increased mortgages and in
creasing interest account, and in-
creasing poverty, %,570,000 per day.
How much longer must this continue
before we take the production of
wealth into the hands OF producers
and discharge the interest takersl-
Twentieth Century.
These are stHrCling figures, and
will bear further elaboration. They
show that the people are paying in
national taxes Support Of govern
ment) interest on national, railroad
bond, private debts and dividends on
bank and railroad stocks, IAN amount
that exceeds the daily increase OF
wealth $1,570,000. Multiply this ex-
cess by 1855, the number Of days in a
year, and we have 1878, 050,000 repre-.
sentirg the yearly loss Of the nation.
Divide $673,O50000 by 65,0O0,000, the
number Of people in the nation, and
we find that 1881 is the average loss
of each man, woman aud child; about
$45 per annum for each voter.
That is, each person in the United
States lacks ION the average) 1881 of
producing enough wealth to live on
and pay the interest on the debt he
owes Every failure to meet interest
makes the principal larger and in
creases the burden Of the succeeding
year. How long can you stand il,
