DUN'S WEEKLY.
 TRADE REVIEW
The Business of the New Year
 Begins We'll
COTTON MOVES SLOWLY
There is Manifest Lack of Buying Power at This Season. and Com mission Houses Are Some
 what Idle and Indifferent

New York, January 12.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade will say to- morrow: The business of the new year be- gins well, though there is still much of the usual hesitation. Monetary conditions have grown easier with the return of 4,O00.- 900 from the interior during the week. and further deposits by the treasury, and more liquidation in some speculative stocks has also helped.
 The furnaces in blast January were pro- ducing weekly 294,1S6 tons of pig iron, against 296,959 December 1, but several had stopped only for the holidays and oth- CTS have started, the output now is proba- bly larger than before. Prices change scarcely any, nor is new business signifi- cant. The minor metals are strong in tone, but as yet, without much change in prices.
 Textile manufactures are more fully em- ployed than for long time, though searci- ty of water has troubled some cotton mills. Trading is embarrassed by uncertainty about prices. Wool is not active, nor are sueculators manufacturers in haste to buy at current prices. The effect upon the seasons sales cannot yet be learned. Cot ton goods have been quiet and no longer ad- vance in prices, as the market for the ma terial is of uncertain tone.
 The boot and shoe manufacture has similar difficulty, for while shipments are heavier than ever before, at this season. yet dealers are slow to order more in the fear that prices will not hold. Manufactur- CTS insist that still further advances are needed to cover the cost of leather The Chicago market for hides is weaker with vember 15.
 Cotton moves so slowly that relief in very short crop is constantly strengthened, but foreign demands are much reduced On January 5, only 6,0OO031 bales had come in- to sight, against S,O0O1 ,916 last year, but ex- ropean stocks were far below last years For the present foreigners are using up old stocks instead of buying more, and the price hesitates.
 Wheat has been slow to move also, Att lantic exports in two weeks having been only 4,S76,5l4 bushels, flour included. against 9,452,106 last year, and Pacific exports, l. 312,993, against 1,5A,O51 last year. The prices close a fraction higher.
 Corn receipts have also fallen below last year, though the exports in two weeks have been 7,931,9SS bushels, against 7,199, ,913. Prices advanced about half a cent. Failures for the week have been 274 in the United States, against SIS last year, and 25 in Canada, against "A last year.

IN LAWS
Against Wives and Mothers That Dis
KrAos Statuta Hooks

In thirty-seven of these United
States a married mother has no legal
right to her children. In sixteen states
a wife has no legal right to her own
earnings outside Of the home. In
eight states a woman has 40 right TO
her " property after marriage. In
seven states there is no law compelling
a man to support his W family. TAX
ing these things to heart, prominent
women Of New York have formed the
National Legislative league for the
purpose Of doing away with them. 1t
seems a strange fact that the remark
able Legislators who passed this law
IN thirty-seven states were once babies
themselves. Perhaps the curriculum
Of an incubator would have made them
think and act differently. And why
should not a wife have a right to her
own earnings? What justice Is there
in that law which prevails In sixteen
states which allows a recreant and
drunken husband to despoil his wife
Of the money she has earned? Who
gave the small atom shaped after the
fashion Of Adam the right to Cypress
and bulldoze the smaller atom shaped
after the fashion of Eve? Taken az a
whole, the women of the National Leg
isTative league have a mighty good
basis Of fact to work on.

lme Of business had decreased Al per
cent. The Gorman-Wilson tariff law
was passed and in ten months impor-
OF foreign goods, largely in
competition with our own products, in
creased from $85 ,205, 7S0 to $169, 1885,
1871. Factories We're closed and ten
of thousands OF workmen searched in
vain for employment. 1t is a matter
Of record that under that abortive and
chaotic democratic tariff the farmers
lost more than 1000, 900, 900 and the
government was compelled to borrow
enormous sums of money in a time of
peace in order to meet expenses.
Republican success in 1896 changed
all that. In its industrial census of
1899 the American Economist showed,
as compared with 1895, an increase of
1896 per cent in the number Of hands
employed and of 54.09 per cent in
wages. The business of the New York
clearing house advanced from s2,5S9.-
34S, S32 in January. 1897. to $5,747.7 IFS
IN January, 1899. These hgures serve
as an example Of the many presented
and all teaching the same lessons,
When the democratic party was in
complete authority it muddled every
thing it touched, changed the laws to
the great disadvantage Of the people
and brought upon the country a period
of universal loss and suffering. Little
is heard now of "a tariff for revenue
only" The one tested made a fright.

to debase the currency has run against
a solid republican barrier. Prosperity

STAND UP FOR LARAMIE

God made the country but the towns
are made by man. Without loyalty TO
home institutions and to one another
the people Of communities such as ar
annie can accomplish nothing and
sooner or later go backward instead
of forward. The man who sends away
for everything he wears or eats and
at the same time makes a living here
is not a citizen. He pays tribute to
other cities and to business men who do
nothing for Laramie; to men who pay
no taxes here and have no interest
whatever in our institutions. A few
emit may be saved in this way at
times, but it is more than lost in 9TH
or ways.
Brigham Young was the greatest or
ganizer and philosopher in this par.icu-
lar line the world ever knew. He
made the people of the Salt Lake val
ley believe it was little less than a
crime to purchase articles elsewhere
that could be had at any price at hCme.
He encouraged all sorts Of home manu-
features and exerted all the power of
the church to see that they were pat
ronized and made to thrive. In this
way he built up a colony that was at
once the wonder and admiration of
the world. And he did this upon soil
which was considered a desert waste
prior to the advent of the Mormons.
1t was not religious zeal that built up
Utah, but the single idea that all must
work for the common good of the peo-
pie and the state. A dollar spent in
the Salt Lake valley for products of
the valley remained at home and cir
culated among the people, but a dollar
sent away for products was lost to them
eyerlastingly. That is the policy that
builds up cities, states and nations.
Every enterprising community is
striving to keep its money at home and
employ its people to the greatest pos
sible extent. In every case where home
labor can be employed i'm any way it
should be done. Just now there is a
large market for the products Of the
TdLCH anu TduSe anu Tie result Is III
evidence upon every hand. Hay brings
a high price, butter and eggs find ready
market and the products of the soil
such as potatoes and garden produce
are sold for high prices. Plenty OF
money is consequently in constant cir
culated.
Laramie should have a strong bust
ess mems organization to assist in
perpetuating this healthy condition.
Our interests are mutual as against the
people OF the rest of the world. and
much good can be accomplished by an
exchange OF ideas and concerted ac-
ton. We are now in a position to or
ganize a board of trade of active bust
ness men, men who are alert, capable
and earnest, and steps should be taken
to that end.

THE NATIVE IN NATAL.
Restrictions Under Which He Lives
PolyEamy Recognized.

1t Is a mistake to suppose, as many
do, that the South African native en-
joys the same rights and privileges as
the European, says the Scotsman. To
give him such equal rights, at present
at all events, would be unwise and
probably disastrous. There have been
many laws enacted that are only ap-
plicable to the native. For instance,
there is a law that they must all be
evening. A bell is rung at the various
police stations at this hour, and on no
account are they allowed to be abroad
after the bell ceases ringing, unless
furnished with a pass from their EN-
ployer, on which is stated the extra
time they are permitted to be absent
from their homes, Another law which
places the native at an advs utage, or
disadvantage, whichever way it may
be considered, is that he is not allowed
on any account to be supplied with
intoxicating drink, and any one found
guilty Of so supplying is liable to a
heavy fine. They are permitted, how
ever, to drink utyala, or Kaffir beer,
a drink made from mealies INDIAN
corn) and soul milk. This is not very
intoxicating. Polygamy is still recog-
nized in Natal-of course, among the
native races only. Some people have
expressed wonder to me that an en-
lightened country like Great Britain
could allow such a state Of affairs to
exist in a country governed by it. The
only answer to these people is to point
out that Rome was not built IN a
day." and 1t will necessarily and OBJ
viously take a long time of civilizing
and Outstanding before the native
can be educated to our way of think
ing in this respect. If we attempted
suddenly to put a stop to polygamy
by radical laws we would doubtless
find that the cure would be worse than
The disease.

STORY OF TWO ADMINISTRATIONS

Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire, made a statistical speech a few
days ago which will be n Of the i'm
portant documents Of the campaign.
1t contrasts, from a business point, the
situation under Mckinley with that
which preceded it under Cleveland, and
covers the ground with full data from
official sources. The showing on one
side is that Of high prosperity and eff
fective legislation; on the other a sum-
mary of general industrial distress and
of laws that, conceived in incompetent
cy, rapidly tended to make bad condi-
tons worse. The success of Cleveland
in 1892 led to national adversely; that
OF Mckinley in 1896 to good times and
the most favorable business prospects
aver known. Senator Gallinger proves
the proposition with actual figures.
There has been no democratic response
to the senator's speech. Its facts are
a werable. Democratic orators
dare not touch it. But the comparisons
are of great value to the people and
serve to make still clearer their po-
litical duty in the present year. The
roads by which prosperity was lost
and regained are indicated so plainly
that to mistake the way again is i'm
possible.
