FALLACIoUS PROFITS.
The Singular Mistake of Bookkeep-
er In "a Yearly Balance
sheet.

1T is doubtful if any modern pro-
moter has hit upon simpler scheme
to swell the assets on his balance
sheet than that which was employed
By humble bookkeeper of this city
while the century was young, says the
New York Mail and Express.
The year 1901 had been a very pros
porous one for the merchants of New
York, and all looked forward with i'm
terest to the first month of the new
year, when they would be able to
ascertain how much better off they
were then than at the same time IL
months before. Notwithstanding his
high expectations, it was with a feel
ing of grateful surprise that the
frugal Scotch bachelor, John MacIn-
tosh, received the news from his book
keeper that he was $4,000 richer by
the transactions of the year. That
was a large sum in those days, and
Macintosh thought the increase in his
income warranted change in his
mode of living. Accordingly he EN-
gagged more commodious lodgings and
invested in many long-desired lux
uries
Still he could not make out how he
had succeeded In accommodating such
large surplus. He ran over the fig
ures again and again to convince him
selfthat they must be right, and every
time checked his bookkeeper's totals.
Yet the doubt haunted him with a
persisteney as truly Scotch as him
self.
He was about to retire one night in
early March, when he took out the
balance sheet, which he kept handy,
and once more endeavored to convince
himself of his good fortune. Without
waiting to put on his hat, with bal
ance sheet in hand, he hurried to the
lodgings of his bookkeeper.
In those days all the good folk of
the town retired at the stroke of
nine. But MacIntosh's pounding sue
ceeded in awakening the blissfully I'M
conscious clerk, who threw up the
window and demanded:
who's there?"
"Who's here, you dunderskuIl?"
exclaimed the irate merchant. do

FAILURESARE FEWER
Less Business Wreckage Under Nc
Kinley Than in IS Years.
Calamity HowIers struck Dumb by
General Prosperity's Remarkable
Exhibit - Disastrous Eject of
Democracy and Free Trade.

The real prosperity of country is
always judged by the number of fail
ures among its business men, 1t is
an astonishing tribute to the second
state of our finances and prosperous
commercial condition when Brad
streets mercantile agency reports for
the first six months of the calendar
year, 1900, the smallest number of fail
ures noted for is years past. This is a
showing for Mckinley prosperity that
must strike the calamity howlers
dumb.
Therecords of the mercantile agency
show that for the first six months of
1892 the business failures OIL the coun-
try were 1851, with liabilities of $780,
535,521 In November of that year the
democratic party was voted into pow
er and in March, 1898, took charge of
the eountry's finances. The first six
months of that year showed failures
of 6,239 in number. with liabilities of
over $4,000, 900. All through the
democratic free trade Wilson bill
administration the number of all
ures steadily increased, until the
first six months of 1896, when
they reached the high water mark,
viz, 1902, with liabilities of $105,-
$780, 1886. In November of that year
Mckinley prosperity was voted in,
and the number of failures stead
lily declined, until the first six months
OF 1900 show only $50 failures, with
liabilities of $60,064,2 POS. the smallest
number reported for IS years.
In the following tables we compare
the first six months of 1926 the last
year of the last democratic admins
tration. with the first six months of
1900, the last year of President McKin-
ley's present administration. This ev-
identity is fair, as it shows the results
of nearly four years of both policies on
the business affairs of the country.
These tables are worthy of the careful
consideration of the free traders and
free silver calamity howlers, as well as
of those who believe in the prosperity
