Low Waxes, Duliness and the Largest List of Bankruptcies in ten Years. It is now little more than one year since the MoKinley tariff went into effect We may respectfully inquire what its effect has been. The organ of the manufacturers’ club of Philadelphia finds that, although the outward conditionsof trade, and especially those relating to the food crops and the foreign demand, are extremely flattering, yet business is | not good. “Itmay fairly be doubt- ed,” it says, “if at any time in any | country conditions have existed Adore favorably than those that now present themeelves in the United ates for the doing of a great and prosperous business.” Then, inthe | next ensuing paragraph it says: “And yet it is an incontestable fact that, while the volume of busi- ness is large and increasing, and while many new enterprises are be- | ginving, there are in important | branches of industry inactivity, tim-{ idity and inability to realize fair prof- it from carefully directed effort.” All the trade journals agree with the manufacturing in describing cee the trade which makes goods for condition of general business as un- satisfactory. It appears, Sere dition for years, if not in all time.” that the McKinley tariff, whatever else may be said of it, has not; brought in 8 period of prosperity. It appears that this measure, aided by external conditions of the most favorable kind—conditions that have rover been surpassed in any age o€ country—has still somehow failed , to“materiatize’ in the shape that SS uaaten Wakenrnnkak tn | n NeKinley and his battalions prom- iset, When they met the enemy atl ine ae ae the pulls last fall and received such ' an awfus threshing they said with one accor® “Wait .a year and see how prospetous the country will be then. TheVcKinley tariff will | ‘vindicate itself.” Well, we have waited Providence ; has smiled on us. Yothing that a bountiful sky could givweus has bees withheld. We have had phenot nal crops of creals and Wey good prices. We have everythingexcept what MeKivley promised us.

St. Louis Republic, “Is this the place where the gov- ernment loans money?” queried a countryfied looking chap yesterday, who addressed the deputy fourth auditor of the treasury department The surprised official answered that he knew of no such place and asked his visitor to explain himself more fully: “Where am I to get a loan from the government?” The depu- ty auditor replied that while the gov- ernment sometimes borrowed money it was never a lender, and he asked the farmer if he was uot thinking of the farmers’ alliance. The granger answered that he was. He inform- ed the deputy auditor that he had $18 in his poeket; and he wanted to borrow all the money that this sum. would represent at 2 per cent and jhe added that he hada good farm ‘up in Maryland that he could mor tgage for security. When he was told that he had been wrongly in- formed he bounced out of the vftice swearing vengeance on the man who had sent him on his wild goose chase.
