n. @. Dun h Co.'S weekly review OF trade
Gays:
Statements Of payrols from several thous-
and manufacturers for November this year
in 1898 and in 1899, show an increase in total
payments OF 1872 per cent. over las: year, but
decrease OF 1873 per cent. In comparison
with 1892. A statement OF hands employed
shows that in the same establishments 1912
per cent. more persons were employed than
year ago, but s.6 per cent less than In 1892.
The average OF earnings for over 250,0U0
hands is per cent. larger than In 1898, but
1874 per cent less than IN 1892.
lhe speculative market has advanced n
little though reasons are hard to find. Wheat
Is unchanged in price; corn is fraction
weaker. without any important change in
movement, and the heavy receipts Of cotton
have broken down the price to $40 cents,
the lowest point on record.
The iron output increased during the month
OF November, and. accordingly, prices have
been declining. The pittsburg mnrke, shows
most weakness. Besscmer pig being quoted nj
s1O15, grey forged offered ut 80. 30, and bar
iron selling at 80 cents. but Ia structural
forms the eastern demand is sufficiently large
TO cause a slight advance in leans. The
minor metals are stronger, though appar-
entity for speculative reasons only.
Failures for the past week have been $40 In
the United States. against 339 last year, and

can vote straight by simply pushing
the buttons of the color representing
his political party. It is estimated
that although New York City would
require 1000 of these machines at
$3.50 each, the city would save $780,
900 annually on the cost of elections
by using them. They would do

ANDREW CARNAGLE'S VIEWS

ANDREW CARNAGE believes that
no further change in financial legis.
lation should be made. 1t will only
disturb the peace of the country, he
says. He objects to Cleveland's
proposed reorganization of the
finances for the above reason, and
wants things to remain just as they
are. According to Carnage the re-
publicans will have earned glory
enough if they prevent simply the
accomplishment of Cleveland's f.
nancial theories. More money is
not needed according to Carnegie
but profound peace is needed to
preserve the amount of money al
ready in circulation, and get more
into the channels of business.
To the man like Carnage who has
millions, this is no doubt what is
earnestly desired; to the millions of
men without any money to be dis
turbed by financial theories, it is a
matter whose Importance lies in the
opposite direction. The question
arises which is of more consequences
in the nation, the welfare of a few
men with much money, or that of
many men and women with none.
There is but one answer in human
ity's scale, however shrewed and
skilful appear the arguments for
capital.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Cleveland gave his
message to Congress on the Sd. 1t
is as usual plain, mattcr-of-fact
document, setting forth the needs of
the government, and giving his best
thought to the proper methods. On
the tariff he is very brief saying
that the tariff on sugar should be
done away with. The message
shows decided dissatisfaction as to
financial methods and conditions,
but of course shows friendliness to
silver. In regard to national banks
the following appears:
The absolute enforcement of the
government from the business of
banking is the ideal relationship of
the government to the circulation of
the currency of the country. This
condition cannot be Immediately
reached, but as a step in that direc-
ton and as a means of securing a
more elastic currency and obviating
other objections to the present
arrangement of bank circulation, the
secretary of the treasury presents in
his report a scheme modifying pres
ent banking laws and providing for
the issue of circulating notes by state
banks free from a. taxation under
certain limitation.
