The Cold Weather FIFTY Years Ago.

ne SoIo weather fnty years Ago
Macomb Journal: In cur compil
ings OF Fifty Years Ago. from the
Inter Ocean, and published today, II
will be noted that considera BILE atten-
ton is paid to the extreme cold
weather. and how 1t penetrated far
south in January. 1864. IN an article
in the Journal recently. giving ac-
count OF the re-enlistment CT a regi
ment and its journey north the cold
weather was more or less referre1 to-
though not being the important theme
OF the article.
II was time memorable for wide.
spread and extreme cold. and deem
snow all over the middle west. The
writer of this well remembers the
time and many circumstances cen.
nected with the extreme cold during
January, 1854. as he came north with
his regiment and spent thirty-days
furlough in the nipping but bracing
temp srature.
When the command left Chatta-
nooga Jan 1st, 1t was freezing hard
something rare there Il must have
been well down toward zero there.
The same day at Macomb the mark
ing was "a below. There was no
snow at Chattanooga on the 1st As
the train passed over to the north
side Of the Cumberland mountains ii
ran into snow, which al Nashville was
four to SIX inches deep. At Louis.
vile and New Albany It had increased
to eight or ten inches. and when the
boys" OF Companies A, B. and C got
to Macomb. about the 18th OF the
month, the snow was 1ull fifteen
inches deep and the sleighing splsn-
did. boys" who lived in the country
were met by their folks" with wag-
onboxes half full Of straw, quilts and
robes, on bobsleds, and enjoyed ride
home royal enough for a king. All
during the furlough vacation. as ne
remember, sleighing was excellent and
certainly was enjoyed and worked
full time By the furloughed veterans
and their friends, and, let us wtis.
per, sweathearts also.
II was remarkably different from
January. 1914, fifty years later. in
which up to the 18th OF the month.
TIE ground has been almost bare OF
snow blowing in the fields has been
done, and there have been more days
above than below freezing.

OUTLOOK PROMISING.

Many of the leading financiers are
quite well satisfied with the way
things are at the opening of the new
year. Henry Clews, who is not only
one of the closest students Of condi
lions, bur an J,taority whose views
are generally accepted by other lead
ers in the financial world, in a recent
letter says that the new year opens
with good reasons for hopefulness
! Comm arcial and financial cond tons
in the United States are much m re
satisfactory than a year ago. For
over year ali business Transactions
have been conducted upon rigidly
conservative basis. There has been
no ovarproduction by our mills. and
no overhuying by our merchants.
Conservatism has dominated every
where. Liquidation has eliminated
weak spots, and financial conditions
have been Strengthened by steady
contraction and a closer safeguard
ing of credit operations. The steel
industry has been unduly repressed
not by oyerproduction. but by lack Of
orders due TO grave uncertainties,
which promise to gradually disappear.
Thase uncertainties relate chiefly to
the inability of the railroads to I'm
ance new requirements and to the
reaction in real estate, which is the
only branch OF business in which there
was serious overexps nsion In 1913.
The contraction in steel is altogether
too severe to last. The textile trades
are in bettsr condition than antici-
pated.
Mr.. Clews further says that the
new tariff has not as yet proved a
serious check, although its full eff
feets are not to be seen. Nevarthe-
less, American manuf acturers have
shown energetic readiness in meeting
new conditions, and thus far the ar
rivals of foreign cottons and woolens
have not been such as to seriously
threaten American manufacturers
The failures this week in retail dry
goods circles wera not significant.
The retail trade as whole, though
not quite as active as year ago. is
in very sound condition-the failures
to having been due to special
causes-and the best authorities lcok
forward to a large business during
1914. In the west there has bsen
soma slowing down of general trade /
during the closing weeks of the year.
owing to the fact this is always a
period of dull business and partly be-
cause the wave OF depression which |
began in New York has in less ar de-
gree extended itself through the west. /
No serious reaction, however, is an
ticipated, and among the best judges
there is tone of pronounced conf
dence. In the northwest the winter
wheat IS reported In fine condition.
At the south conditions arr generally
satisfactory, the cotton crop, ike the
cereal crops, having turned out bet
.er than expected.

frenzied transportation fnanciers have
been no more aggravatingf than by
promoters of productive enterprises.
The power to control the one branch
of activity p%resupposes the authority
t. dominate the other, and equal need
for it by each justly urges hat they
be treated alike, says the Herald-Re-
publican.
Even a casual observer of Ameri.
can finance regards the railroads as
more conservative in fiscal matters
number of the lambs shorn by manip-
~ulators of transportation securities is
few and insignificant as compared
with them who have lost their wool
to eloquent vendors of other stocks.
Since the great American public is to
be saved from itself, willy-nilly, why
not give a finished performance
This new school of political thought
should not be satisfied with halfway
measures. 1t assumes the people have
no intelligence or judgment on GER
tain subjects; it may as justly eonsid-
er them ignorant and foolish on all
others. Government insurance against
death, against sickness and injury,
against old age, against installing
the artificial for the real, against in
vesting in watered grape juice and
wormy peanuts, may properly be a
part of the new program. A funda-
mental principle that cannot be accu-
rately applied to all conditions of the
same character is fallacious and un-
worthy of thought.
Anthropologists assure us that the
man of s few centuries hence will be
born without appendix and tonsils be
cause of present day surgical eager
ness in Kidding us of them. 1t is
equally as logical to suppose he will
be p~ropagated also without brains
since an organism unused through
several succeeding generations ulti-
mately disappears. Mr.. Wilson and
his counsellors would relieve us of the
necessity of thinking in order, per
haps, that they may think for us.
From that to "the aristoeracy of
brains the president was wont to de-
scribe with enthusiasm in his college
days, is but a step.

ADVICE OF GREAT VALUE TO

If a man does not provide for his
children, if he does not provide for all
those dependent upon him, and if he
has not that vision of conditions to
come, and that care for the days that
have not yet dawned, which we sum
up in the whole idea of thrift and saw

to any adequate conception of human
life. We are j.. this world to provide
not for ourselves, but for others, and
that is the basis of economy.

THE PINCH OF HARDENING
TIMES

Following sharp downward tariff re-
vision come, always, varying explana-
tions of the pinch OF hardening times.
In the 90s the explanation was "fres
silver and consequent want of con
fidence. The great industrial depres-
sion in the third decade of the nine
teenth Gentry, Immediately follow.
ing downward revision, was attribut-
ed by free traders to other causes.
And now, when the fac of decreasing
exchanges can be neither denied nor
concealed, sophistry is again the re.
course of such as feel themselves in
any way responsible for the new tar
if law.
Admitting the fact, it is ascrided
by the theorists to many different
causes. Admission of the fact, how
ever, does not prevent them from try
ing to blink it in many ways. The
fact being that by far the larger part
OF the men now being thrown out of
employment have been working in
industrial pursuits directly or in
directly affected by tariff legislation,
the claim is being made that reduc-
ton in railway working forces ex-
plains the bulk of dismissals. 1t is a
safe assumption that railway lines
have not reduced, and will not re-
duce, their working forces below the
point needed for the handling of
traffic. That they must reduce to the
lowest working minimum at which
traffic car be handled, unless rates are
advanced, IS a plain business PROPOSE
ton in many cases. But railway
managers will not go to the minimum
until hope of higher freight rates is
abandoned. The fact is that their
contribution to the swelling crowd of
idle men is small as yet by compare
son with those of the industrial lines.
The claim itself is not only mis-
leading, but reacting against those
making it with intention to deceive.
For how can itsbe demonstrated that
railway corporations should not be ex-
pected to maintain working forces at
full strength under reduced rates,
when that very thing is expected and
demanded of manufacturers and the
producers of much of their raw ma
terials? Findlng the market narrow
ing through force of new competition,
reduction in working forces cannot
be avoided. 1t is noticeable in the
dispatches that many more concerns
are reducing forces hal are wholly
~suspending operations. Mercantile in
telligence, like traffic intelligence,
will not reduce below the point at
which operation car be continued
without loss. The sad fact is that
forces must be, and are being, re-
duced. Hot air, unfortunately, is Of
ten followed by cold. History re-
peats itself in the effort to conceal
truth and to challenge the laws of
cause and effect.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.
