DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.


New York, November 5.-R. G. Dun
d Co.'S weekly review of trade will
say tomorrow:
Stronger proof of the great change
IN the condition of business could not
be given than is found in the detailed
reports of failures by branches of bus
mess for the month of October.
The quiet following the great rush
OF orders and. purchases for over two
months is still increased in MANY
branches by unquestionably mile
weather, and yet the mills are Obliged
TO refuse many orders because they are
unable to finish previous engagements
soon enough. 1t is every way for
tunate for the industries and would
DE buyers, since speculative purchases
would otherwise advance prices so fast
as to make reaction probable. More
works have Joined the active list, in
Guiding some long idle, and the pro-
duction in iron manufacture is the
greatest ever known. The output OF
pig again exceeds the demand, which
naturally diminishes near the close of
the year, and prices yield slightly, but
the consumption is kept at the maxi
mum by pressure of orders which the
works are not able to fill fast enough.
The Illinois Steel Company shipping
5000 tons of finished product per day,
is behind. Eastern and western or
ders accumulate for railway materials,
for cars and bars, for ship plates and
structural forms.
Failures for the week ha been 270
in the United States, agai, 939 last
year; and 80 in Canada, against 90
last year.

posal of black braid on satin finished
cloth Of golden-b brown shade; the
braid is arranged in unique and pleas
ing lines and the effect is notably
stylish, the mode itself being original
and UP to date. The basque, although
severely plain, introduces the left side
closing that it now almost inevitable if
one would be quite in fashion, and its
adjustment shows the precision that
is necessary in plain waists, the point

For severe modes especially this ia

MUST FACE THE ISSUE.


1arin and international Monetary PIati-
tudes Will Not Fool the People-Republi-
cans Must Take the Gold End of the Ar
gument Square.
ne Pittsburg Chronicle-Te Telegraph,
uie most ardent of the Republican
organs of Pittsburg, says:
The Republican party has received
spanking which ought to do it good
1t-gets off rather more easily than
might have been expected, and it's left
with sufficient opportunities to re-
Srieve its position if it will make use
CT them. To do this it will need
leaders, and in that respect it is bad
of. These who now pose as its Lead
ers are really great followers, anxious
10 ascertain popular whims and follow
them. This sort of aimless wandering
has led the party into a quagmire,
and unless it makes at once for high,
solid ground it will be hopelessly
stuck in the mud.
What the people have been seeking
these twenty years past is a party
which will take up and settle the
financial issue. The Republican party
keeps trying to dodge that issue. 1t
was forced to confront it in the last
Presidential election and won a vic
tory on that issue Ever since then it
has been trying to get away from it
and substitute the tariff issue. 1t has
passed q tariff bill, in many respects
sitter than the Mckinley bill, which
produced such a disastrous overthrow
in 1890 and 1892. The only real war;
rant it had for putting the tariff first
upon its legislative programme was
the necessity of stopping the treas,
ury deficits, and so far the bill has
been failure in that respect. The
big harvests, coincident with a heavy
increase in the value of breadstuffs,
was piece of good luck that was pure
1y gratuitious, but the good times have
not prevented voters from expressing
their dissatisfaction with the party
policy. Even politicians ought to be
able to understand now that if the
party goes to the country in the next
Presidential election singing the same
old song of Keep the tariff all right
and the financial question will take
care of ITSELF il will receive a tremen-
dous licking.
"The time has passed for humbug
about international bimetallism. The
people cannot be fooled in that way
any longer. The issue is the gold
standard against the silver standard,
and the Republican party must toe the
mark. There is really nothing left
for them to do but to stand up for the
gold standard; the good will of the
silver sentiment all justly belongs to
Bryan. For the maintenance of the
gold standard a better currency sys-
tenn should be provided, and the Re-
publican party must undertake the job
which have paralyzed the financial
policy Of the administration must be
cast aside. The issue must be made
up and pressed upon Congress with all
the influence the administration can
exert. Otherwise the party goes to
certain defeat at the polls

CITY TOPICS.
THE, COLLECTORS OFFICE.

THE, COLLECTORS OFFICE.
The election OF Mr.. Max Sutor as
city collector made no change in the
affairs of this important branch of the
city government. Mr.. Sutor takes
great pride in the apple pie order in
which everything is done in his de-
Oartment. The introduction of the
new style of tax receipts under the
late administration upset the collec-
| tors Office for while but the collector
has supplemented at his own motion
the lacking records to make this re-
ceipt system work.
The old method was an alphabetical
tax rool made out by the assessor and
delivered to the collector from which
he made out his receipts. The pres
ent system is a series of tax receipts
filed out, bound in books ready for the
collector to use. This throws a great
er labor upon the assessor and relieves
the collector. 1t is doubtful if the new
sytem is any Improvement over the
old, or that it furnishes any check up
on the collector. A call at the col
lestOr's office, will convince ANY tax
payer that the collector is not an idle
man, but that the time is put in steadi-
ly keeping up the important records of
the office. When tax collections be-
gins in June, the collector will be too
busy to compile his records, so that
he must wait for lull in taX-paying
to do his most important work. The
back tax department, which was Great
ed by the past administration, remains
as an adjunct of the collectors Office
but is conducted entirely independent
of it. We find to the credit of the
back tax office. which is under the
management of the city attorney, $685.
600, collected up to the close of the last
fiscal year, while only about $4,000 APP
pears to it's credit for the present fis-
cal year that closes on the 31st of this
month. 1t would seem that this back
tax adjunct could be dispensed with
and the whole business placed under
the collector. Back taxes loom up. as
a serious problem to be dealt with. Mr..
Sutor estimates that $500, 900 are col
lectable from the tax rolls up to date.
If this money could be made available
during this year, or a larger portion of
it, the city could easily discharge it's
obligations. If we have to depend up
on the machinery of the courts to do
this work. instead of the voluntary ac-
ton of the delinquents, the prospect is
not bright. The new tax roofs will
carry the names of the old, prompt tax
payers and it is expected that good
sum will come in after the 18th of next
month, when the tax receipts are eX-
pected to be in the hands of the col
lectOr.
