TRADE AND THE SENATE.

Stagnation Of business continues. 1t is
reflected by an increasing accumulation of
ideal capital and rates of interest lower than
they have ever prevailed in this country for
SO long time. The one removable cause
that vet remains is the uncertainty about
the tariff BILL An examination or the pres
eht situation of leading industries, as given
below. demonstrates that the delay of
proper legislation is chief cause OF the de-
pression:-
Iron and steel-In 1898 there were "a an
thracite furnaces in blast producing 34 773
tons weekly; and IN 1894 there are but 32
furnaces in blast, producing 16,019 tons
weekly.
Cotton and cottons.--A year ago the
middling staple sold at So cents per h.,
against Z "a cents per lb. today. Print cloth
was worth "a cents per yard or 26 IA cents
per lb. last year. and is worth 1916 cents
per yard or 10 1-2 cents per lb. now. Cotton
goods for export have declined about ID per
cent The reduction in prices of better cot,
tons is insignificant; the average production
of all kinds has been curtailed fully 25 per
cent.
Wool and woollens.-Only 25 per cent of
our looms are running, and they on half
time, and Of the usual quantity of woollen
goods about one-tenth is now produced.
This NAV explain why bhe average decline OF
prices does not exceed Is per cent.
The Democrats have been defeated at the
recent elections, not because reform is con-
sidered undesirable, but because people are
losing confidence that the ruling party can
dispose Of the question. 1t will be agitated
as much after the fall election as it has been
and is now. il it should not be decided pre-
viously The failure to act now would be a
disaster to the country. for the depression

around and look carefully at the back of his

man whose neck bulges ever so little over his
collar. If you want a successful man, see
that he hasa neat foot; he will move quicker,
get over obstacles faster than man who

the recent strain has been removed from the
situation in the mining district, the business
question is quite as serious as it was on Feb

of blocking the resumption of work thre gh-

Nevertheless compromise is possible at %
