Chicago inter Ocean: Last wear
showed very considerable improvement
over 1898. and it is reasonable to expect
1885 to show still more improvement
over 1Sl4. provided only tinkering with
the currency be prevented.
The country cannot expect a return
of the urosperitv which followed the
tariff of 1891 until near the close of the
decade. 1t is probable that the dawn
of 1877 Will be red with the rising sun,
but it will take about another year to
restore tile industrial thrift which fol-
lowed, as effect follows cause, the pass
age OF the Mckinley bill. 1t Is a great
thing. however, 10 know that there Is
10 be no more legislation by Congress
in favor OF foreign nations and against
our own people. That assurance can
not fail to be a powerful factor OF better
times. The presidential term now on
will soon be off. In the light of the
popular verdict Of the votes of the
North rendered in November, business
confidently calculates that the days Of
free-trade paralysis are numbered, and
the end is near at hand. Such a a base
of calculation, denied 1891, Is the chief
advantage the new year has over the
old.
1t Is probable that the indebtedness
OF the American people Is greater today
than II was last New ear day Inc

and considerable. 1t does not pay to
push debtor into the gutter o! bank
ruptcy unless there is grounds to sus-
pe"t fraud or the debtor has shown
himself TO be incompetent. In times
like these patience is good policy, and
creditors have learned to wait, proyid
ed only debtors show a dispositioe to
work.

Wages in 1892. 1898, and 1891.

run's Review winds up the year with
q comparison Of the number of men
employed, the number Of hours Of work
afforded to each man, ard the amount
of wages in a given number Of work
shops and factories during the years
1892, 1895, and 1891. We are not told
bow many firms and corporations are
represented, but we are assured that
the number and character of those re-
spending to Dun's inquiries relative to
men, hours, and wages are fairly repre-
sentative of the country at large.
The number Of hands employed by
the firms and corporations included IN
Dun's report was 1856 in 1892, the
wear Of Mckinley and protection and
prosperity. 1t fell to l25,093 in 1883,
the wear of the Gorman-W ilson tariff
hill agitation. 1t has risen TO l3+,112 IN
1894, since the apparent inpossibIlity
of future movements toward rec trade.
The wages paid by these firms and cor
Iorations amounted 10 5,310,010 in 1892
fell to s. $40, rs in 1898, and rose to
81 POI 30 in 1904 The hours Of work
for all the hands employed stood at 81
81 ,62l in 1892, at 2GIly,5J9 III 1888, and
at 81 $40 81 in 1894
20 that during this year S.:53 per cent.
Of an increase in the number Of persons
employed in labor for wares is notice
able over the phenomenaily disastrous
year of 1893 but the number still Is
~, 1913 lower than in 1892 In 1893 there
was Il reduction Of i2.37 per cent in the
amount of wages pdid a. compared with
1872 This means a reduction OF the
wage fund of the country by very near
" onc-third. We have done better III
1894, though the amount of wages re-
ported by buns Review Is less by 2l.I1
per cent than that dishur5rd in lS92
il may be long before we return to the
prosperity o! the great year Of recipro-
city and protection, but a gradual in
crease Of the wage fund may he eX-
pcctcd 50 long as further progress to
ward free trade is delayed
TO resume. it is reasonable to infer
that at the present time about 100000
more hands are employed than in 1888,
hut about 5G5. 900 less tEan in 1852, and
the amount Of wares distributed during
1924 was greater by $I52, 500, 900 than III
1873, but less by over 5000, 600, 600 than
III 1892, and the output OF labor is ofless

To W ak Properly.

Lipninco;t's Magazine says: Stride
out to your full measure, but don't try
TO 90 beyond it; and try not to fall short
OF it rs You 90 on. Keep the knees as
straight as YOU can conveniently, and
this will obIi2e YOU to rise on the ball of
the foot behind AT each step. The calf
of the leg is a valuable element in walk
ing, and yet many walkers, by throw
ing their weight upon their knees and
the muscles of the front Of the upper
leg, lose the push End spring of the calf
altogether. Such men habitualIy stand
with knees bent, like ''sprunk" horse,
and only straighten the knees by an
effort. The arms should swing freely,
tie head should lie up and the chest
expanded; breathe deeply and breathe
slowly. Few people walk right; vet it
is an easy thing to leaIn, and when it il
learned you can walk farther, faster
and more enjoyingIy than if you DO it
wrong.

the Rock Island bridge arc the prin-
cipals in little incident occurring
the other night on the triangle,
when all the merry skaters had de-
parted with the exception OF these
| two. who fingered in the moonlight to
have little tete tetc. Although quite
mDarrassing to them. the laugh was
on the guard. II was abont I1:3O

viaduct abode and started along the
bridge TO enjoy the refreshing atmos-

glistening surface below. Fully con-

skaters had left some time since. he
could not understand dark obiect
which he observed on n log a consid-

very much the appearance Of some
clothes. Could it he that some one
had forgotten an overcoat or Jacket?
There would be no harm in investigat-

warded with n nice ulster or a seal
skin. He meandcred back to the
guard house, descended the steps
