The President has reason 10 claim that he Is
succeeding. if he desires to bring severe pres
sure 10 bear upon business men. Whether the
effect will be to render them more favorable
10 hi, policy is not yet 50 clear. But there IS
no lack of pressure, and the West ana SCUM
begin TO ask what has become oil all the money.
The failures in two weeks hay" been oOl III
the nitcd States, against 3l9 last year. The
liabilitie, are known in only few cases. and yet
il is easy to see that the list includes Liabilities
Of more than $50. 100000. There were lOi
failure, of firms rated by the Mercantile Agency
at over -. 900 capital each. and the aggre-
gate rating is from IS, 100000 upward. some
of these failures involve widely scattered list
Of creditors.
Mr. Cleyclands argument is that there is
something wrong and he is right. But the
West and South do not accept his idea of the
cause Of trouble. They complain that money
is scarce, and yet the amount in circulation is
remarkably large Their own outcries for
cheaper and poorer money have created an
apprehension which ha, locked up several hun
drcd millions of the money now IN nsc and
curtalcd by thousands Of millions the volume
Of credits by which more than nnc-icnths of
all payments are made. Yet they refuse to
see this and insist that the conduct Of the
President in opposing a free silver coinage bill
is the cause OF all their woes. How i, this
error Of opinion to be remcdied? is il at all
certain that it will be removed before the
President has to confront Il Congress, most Of
whose members were elected under express
pledges TO vote for free coinage?
Neither do business men Of the last alto
gether agree with the Presidents idea. They
see that free coinage would be disastrous, but
they also SEQ that it is disastrous to wait
whole year, with free coinage threatened and
without any other definite remedy proposed
by the party in power. MIR. Cleveland, it is
true, has advocated repeal of the Sherman law,
but no one imagines that this alone would an
swcr as remedy, or that it can be obtained
without other important changes The Presi-
dent and those who agree with him do not tell
the country what they think a remedy, or what
he would consent to, or what they are hoping
to get. IL is not strange that many business
men, when financial stress comes heavily upon
Them censure the Administration sharply for
its lack of financial policy.
The proposed remedies are inadequate. he
cause men shut their eyes to the real nature
of the trouble Mr.. Cleveland thinks it is the
Sherman act but the country was never more
prosperous thar under that same act just be-
fore his election. Western and Southern
Democrats think it is the refusal to coin silver,
but the year ending with October, 1892, with
bullion purchased but no silver coined was
the most prosperous ever known Until men
are willing to face the real causes of disturb
ance. they can hit upon . right remedy only

THE LOOMS AND THE HOMES.

A non-partisan trade journal, explaining the
scanty demand for wool, remarks: Many OF
the looms have been stopped" There are
MANY people in this prosperous and happy coun-
try who do not realize what that simple state
ment means. The loom is dispassonate and
unsuifering machine. 1t does not love nor
sorrow. and it has not the visible responsibility
of father or mother for human lives, and for
the education and future happiness OF human
beings Yet the silent loom means misery ana
possibly something worse.
Several hundred looms were stopped IN one
Eastern establishment last week. Kind heart
I'd employers made the announcement with deep
regret. for they knew, as many readers DO nor,
what il meant. There were three hundred
families for whom those flying looms had pro-
yided bread and meat. clothing shelter ana
the comforts Of home. When the looms stopped
want and suffering walked in at each OF three
hundred doors. Loving fathers began to dread
distress for those who were dearer than lie To
them. Tender hearted mothers dreaded the day
when the children should cry for bread in vain
No one can tell how much Of Anxiety and OF
suffering was wrapped up in the statement mat
the mill was closed Where were these people
to look for employment and means Oh h'e''-
hood? Not in their accustomed occupatioI' Tor
many other mills were closing at the same tihic
and thousands of competent hands were com

manufacturing works, for if they possessed the
required skill and knowledge, as many did not
those other employments also were Ill trouble.
In those u well many works had been "bllg'd
to close and wait. and thousands of hands were
looking in vain fer wOrk-jhai j., for shelter

ones Does ANYBODY think OF the distress ana

MORE TOTES THAN VOTERS.

Far from being pleased with the concession
Of that universal suffrage for which they have
been clamoring so loudly and so long, the So
cIalist leaders in Belgium seem to be deeply
aggreved by the fact that the Government and
the Legislature have given them more even
than they demanded They asked for one vote
for each male adult, and King Leopold, with
that cynical and somewhat sardonic humOr for
which he is noted has appended his signature
10 law whereby men under certain conditions
become entitled, not to one. but to two and
even three votes. Indeed, at the present mo-
ment Belgium presents the strange anomaly of
possessing a parliamentary electorate endowed
with more votes than voters
Until few weeks ago the Belgian franchise
was Of a most restricted characteristic entire
electorate being less than $50, 200, composed
almost exclusively Of landowners, wholesale and
retail merchants and manufacturers, the masses
being entirely without legislative representation,
although called upon to contribute toward the
support Of the Government in the shape Of
taxes. The new law that has just received the
sanction of the King creates an electorate of
1900, 900, that being the number of men in
the kingdom over the age Of twenty five years
WnO nave HoJ Dccn ueprlVcu OF thelf cltlN'n-
ship rights either on account Of infracton of
the laws or Of mental affection. While the
electorate, however, numbers 1000, 900, the
votes which they are entitled TO cast amount
to 1,9OO,O 900. This result is arrived at thus
Six hundred and fifty thousand men each
have single vote, while $4,000
will each possess two and even three votes,
the total number of votes belonging to the
plural and privileged electors being 1850,
900. The dual vote is conferred upon every
man who is over thirty-ive or who is married.
Between the ages of twenty five and thirty five
the married man in Belgium is given twice the
electoral power of the bachelor, on the ground
that the latter merely represents himself, while
the benedict represents his wife and children.
1t is assumed that after thrty-tive the un-
married man will either be about to enter the
state of matrimony or else have acquired such
fixed and settled habits as to rank him among
the conservative forces of the country. OF the
whole electorate $4,000 are entitled to the
