BUSINESS REVIEW.
RESUME OF THE BUSINESS OF
THE PAST YEAR.
Large Decrease in Failures, the Aver
age Being About Twelve in Every
Thousand Firms-Prices of All Conn
modities the Lowest Ever Known.

New YORK, Jan. 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade saws:
Failures for 1894 are fully reported
this week, being 1856 in the United
States and 1856 in the Dominion
of Canada. Liabilities in the United
States were S172, 992. $50, and in
Canada, SIT, Clio, 2l5. Neither the de-
crease of over half in this country nor
the increase of over forty per
cent in Canada is surprising, but the
statement shows that most of the
decrease in the United States was
in manufacturing liabilities, while
the entire increase in Canada is
in liabilities of trading concerns. A
few states including New York and
Pennsylvania, show more failures
than in 1893, and i'll a few Souther n
states the amount of liabilities is
larger, but IN the Central and West
ern states very much smaller. In
eleven of the last thirty eight years
reported liabilities have been larger
than in 1894, though for this year and
1898 the statement is confined to COM
mercial failures, as it was not in
former years. The failures have
been 1915 to every 1,O00 firms doing
business; the liabilities have averaged
Sl32. II to each firm in trade, and in
proportion to the volume of solvent
business represented by all clearing
house exchanges, $40 for every
81, ZOO.
The complete review of different
branches of business places in clear
light the fact that prices of COM
modities are at the lowest level ever
known. Eight years ago in July
prices averaged only 73. 90 per cent of
the prices for the same articles and
in the same markets January 1, 1860,
and this remained the lowest point
ever touched until August 10, 1898,
when the average fell to 70 T6, but
early this year prices dropped below
all previous records, and have never
recovered, the average decrease
of 26 being only 6S. 73 per cent of
the prices in 1860 The range was
very little higher at the end of the
year and about as low October %.
The fall since year ago has been
So per cent, but very unequal in diff
ferent branches. In iron and steel
products, II per cent: in wool. / 3. per
cent; in woolens and cottonS, about
Is per ceut. These changes contrast
sharply with the decline of wages
paid per hours work, which averag Z
only 1.2 per cent less than year ago
The year has been especially note
worthy for the lowest prices of wheat
and cotton on record. Both suffer
from wholly unprecedented accumu-
lation of stocks, the crops being
large. Outside this country wheat
production has not increased enough
to Justify a price of 60 cents at New
York, and the accumulation is L.rgely
due to false reports of yield intended
to frighten buyers and raise prices.
The same influence has been felt in
cotton, which is also affected by
worldwide depression in business
and decrease in consumption of goods.
In other produce markets the year
has been relatively less important.

Three Men Hanged and Their Bodies
Rfddled With Bullets.

WICHITA, Kan, Jan. 5.-News
reaches here from Kingfisher. Ok, of
a wholesale hanging of thieves in the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe country.
The settlers there have ever since
the opening been the victims of ma
rauding bands of horse and cattle
thieves, and finding the authorities
too slow in bringing the offenders to
justice, several vigilance committees
were organized in different
parts of the country to take
the law in their own hands.
The vigilants few days ago started
on the trail of one band. followed it
into the Panhandle of Texas, back
into the Cheyenne country, overtak-
ing it near Cantonment. Here bat
tie followed, resulting in the wound
ing of George Gaskell and .Simeon
Campbell, two of the vigilants, and
the capture of three of the thieves.
The latter were hanged without de.
lay. Their bodies were shot to
pieces and left hanging as warning
to their kind.

lie Tells st. Joseph Police How the
Jail Delivery was Worked.
ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, Jan. 4.-Joe Dusty,
under sentence of death for criminal
assault, who escaped from the county
Jail when the wholesale delivery oc-
Cured, was captured at 2:30 yester-
day morning in room above Charley
Phelps saloon. After he escaped
Dusty sought his sweetheart. and
the officers by her actions
were enabled to capture Dusty.
Dusty at first denied any
knowledge of how the delivery
was brought about, but latter made a
confessisn and told how the plans
were worked. Grove, the Burlington
train robber, was the leading spirit,
and planned the job. Grove had
been literally supplied with money
from the outside, and when he
escaped had s., 900 in cash and two
good revolvers. None of the others
who escaped have been recaptured,
but heavy reward offered to-day
will probably assist in their capture
A sensation of no small magnitude
will be sprung when the details of
who assisted the prisoners to escape
is made public.

The professional politicians are q
lousy lot at best.
Give the people a CHARGE to vote
directly upon all important questions,
thus taking temptation away from
dishonest officials and relieving honest
ones of great deal of worry as to
what their constituents would have
them do
Let the people themselves decide
what they want and give nobody a
chance to sell them out
AS it is now, representatives of the
people should work strictly upon the
platform on which they were elected.
And when they fail to do that they
are traitors and deserve punishment
such Fer instance, Grover Cleveland
should be so punished, because he has
IN no instance adhered TO the Chicago
platform
II a majority tf the people voted
for the demo ratio ticket with the un.
derstanding that the platform would
be carried out IL should have been
done espite lobbies and the indiyid-
ual opinions.
The people should have what they
vote for, whether visa or unw:se.
If shey make mistakes they can and
viii g=c:ity them.
