The clearing house statistics published s few weeks since and prior to the re- ports of the commercial agencies, re- veal ; the fact that tie businessfor 1880 was the heaviest everdone in the United States, and from the report of failures thst it was also the most successful, From the statement of Messrs. Dan, Wiman & Co. we learn that the total failures during the year were $4,735 as compared with 6,658 in and 10,478 in 1878, the smonnts involved being £65,752,000 in 1880 28 compared with $98,140,000 in 1879 81d $234,383,000 in 1878. In other words the failures of 1880 were only two-thir e as numerous as in 1879 and less than half as numerous as in 187, The western states lead the remait - der of the country in the small pun- bsr of failur: amount of busi report shows 1a the west unable ‘o maet its enga; ments, while in the middle statcs ose business in 161 has been uneuc- ooasfal, and in the south one in 131. The Pacific zosst has suffered heavily, one concern in eyery 72 having failed to fulfill its business obligations. Thess yearly reports reflect witk admirable accuracy the commercial condition of the country. They indi- catenot only the increase of general prosperity, but also that sounder bus iness methods are being porsued by our merchanta. plenty and goods are being bought more and more largely for cish and less for credit. The speculative crazs is confining steelf the eastorn states, whilc western business men are restricting themseles to legitimate commerciel transactions. The volume of cur- is estimated to bo fully one- third greater than it was at this eca- son two years ago. This is a great aid to a cah basis of business trave- actions.

In the circumstances, this sort of dissent was logitimate enough, {and the public began to distrust it only when they found it 8o mach as sociated with st ictions abou I the distribution of uflices in the north. When Mr. Hayes refused to placo the official patrcnage of certain northern siates at the disposal of thy principal republican congressman of those atat-s, 1t was found that a great deal of indignation about these offices closked itself in the garb of dissent from the presidert’s sovthern policy. Personal logalty o such leaders Messrs. Bu Conkling, Cameron and Loza he readiness to wear their collars and run their errands— dubbed itse'f, to the public amuss- ment, stalwartism. And the funia mental docirine of the stalwartism of these gentlem sn was t 3 cau party was so far exalt Ten Commandments that, king,” it could “‘do no wron diffirence of opinion Hayes' southern policy as & wholo & solemn and its | resoiution a ing the general con- duct of the present administration.

They now depict Mr. Garfield as moarning the misrep- Tesen‘ations which are current of his personal relations to Mr. Conkling, aod quote him as saying that ouly mischief makers have sought to cro- atoa coldness between him and the #enator, who, at the opening of the ::.“,;.‘:grt.i refased to call on him, al ‘were stoppls hm:y Pping at the mmndnlm{m 2 ered for poblicappromal, O These stalwart fictions appesr and | ing transporta agreement to whistle all together to keep stalwart courage up. This pro- ceeding is necessary, for in Mr. Gar- field's hacds lies the power to break up these associaticns inside the and every in his past record indicates his readiness to use the power. They are alresdy weaker than they were four years. For four years Mr. Hayes has been sending offices in the other direction. There is already a great body of republicans, with the advant- age of official experience, have either nover worn the = Sena- torial collar, or who have put it off forever. Tuis policy of preter- ring indeperdents and proscriviog stalwarts we believe not to embody tho highest wisdom. It was, indeed, Grentism under another guise, for it repoated Mr. Grant's fundamentul blunder of taking a faction of the party and not the whole party into considera But it did some good in making the scnatorisl triumirate feel the weight of the oppressive max- ims they had scted on in the previo eight yeara, in weakening (* personal followlng. Our belief is ‘hat Mr. Garfield will parsus neither Mr. Grant's policy nor that of Mr. Hages in this matter. We 1ok to sce him ignoro all lines within the party, as neither of these two gentlemen have done. It is indiffe- rence, not hostility, that will give factions the coup de grace.

Even the statements of General Grant, strong as they are in favor of extend ing our railroad system into Mexico, have created little more then a past-. ing interest. Ho ctudied the sut ject lon the ground, and has cortainly epoken within reasonalle bounds. So great, however, is the ignorance of our people regard- ng Mexico and its capabilities for den of the sd- s we shall derive by railroad ction has been arrived at. We do not hesitate tosey that, when the rosds we have mentioned aro comple- ed, we ahall ot only find st once a apital market for our manufactures, but one zuscep'ible of enormous devel- opment. We assert, with equal cer- tainty, that no other country in tre d, no excepting our own, will then offer such rare advantages for the enterprise of our citizons and the emuloyment of our eurplus capital. These two assertions appear extrava- t. They are not co, but are fdlly ined by the facts. Gobernacton, 1879,” the p Mesxico is said to be 9,636,777, more than half of these are Indians, among whom, as yet, no idea of im- their condition exists, The n requires but little more than a few yards of cottoa cloth for His Foass is of the most pri snd needs diate surcoundings do not furni: His food, principslly dried meat snd ru-meal, 1s obtsined with littlo exer- | and Tass cash, and, it may be | sid. he is almost ignorant of the | roducts of other countries. Even this ignorancs did not exist, the | exorbitant prices at which imported | articles are now sold place them bo. yond his resch. It wculd be difficult | th say juel what proportion of the | Mexican people are purchasers of | foregn merchandise. The estimate bas been made by those best | qualified to judge that at least two- thirds make no use of foreign articles, ' and yet the average anoual importa. | tion of Mexico is in the neighberhood | of $30,000,000. Undoubredy the | completion of the roads in question | must, year by year, largely increase | this amount.

The probabillty is al- most a certainty that but a few years will elapse after these roads are built before the entire Indian population can be counted on to the extent of their meaus s consumers of foreign reappear in 80 many independent yuarters, as to indicate .l:inenl‘ products. If we except the growth of suger and e, not to represent any | tobaoco, Mexico can never become our rival in any branch of trade. She broduces a large amount of raw material of various kinds, but she has noither the coal nor water-power to permit her manufactoring them. In those tnings constituting the main elements of our wealth she can in no sense compete with us. Her soil is of incaloulable fertility, but her climate is auch that grain can only be raised to any extent by irrigation. The precious metals constitute much the larger part of her export trade, and the deposits, especially of silver, sro perhaps as rich as any in the world; but she has neither the capital, nor skilled labor, nor enterprise, mnor mining intalligewce eufficient to develop them. Iron ore of ex- collent quality is abundant, but, in the absence of fuel, can only be worked to a limited extent. In fact, we have mo causo to fear lexican rivalry in ang of our leading izdus- tries, except, a3 we have stated, in the production of sugar and tobacco. | The district of country suitable fi the growth of the former is more ex- tended than ours The climate also beter, and it is probablo that when Mexico i more fully developed ax her labor system better organized, her sugst crop will be largely in excess of our own productz. In the quantity of tobaceo which Mexico will be able to produce, it is believed she can never equal us. Her tobacco, how- ever, is far superior to ours in flavor. It cquals that of Caba. As yet tobacco Is raised in comparatively small quantity. The lauds suttavie for its growth, howover, are muct larger tn extent than those now culti- vated, and its prodaction is, there- fore, ‘suscsptible of considerable fn- crease. Tiat, besides its importance as market for our products, Mexico & fords us another advantage of incalcu- lable value. It offers at our very doors, and of the best quality, many of the most important articles used in com- merce and trade, and which we are now compellod to seek from all parts the world. No country equals her the grest va o and none $o capable of growing them of such generally useful quality. Be: sides theas, she produces many others of importance waich can scarecly bo found elsswhere. Her connection with us by rail will placo all these va- Tious products at our disposal, and we shall be ablo to obtain themn at grestly prices, Their production it is yet in ite infancy. It will bo for our industry and capital to de- velop and control it. Railroad com- nication oncs established, no other country can for a momsnt compefe with us in getting po session of this trade. Although Mesico produces so larze an amount of gold and aiiver, she s still greatly in want of capit Her gold and silverare sent abroad to pay for her imports. Mexicans who suc- coed in accumulating wealth aro nsu aliy forced to live in other countries or the other of the political factions. Searcely such a_thing as a banking system exists. Little is known or understood of commercial credit. Lusiness of every kind is conducted on small capital and in the most prim- itive manner. Muck of this has been due to the instability of the gov ment and to the turbulence of poli cal aad military leaders. Yhe gov- erument, however, du'ing the past few years has become more perma nent and secure. Evidence is afforded by the recent paaceable and quiet in- auguration of President Gonzales that pronunciamentos in the fature will scarcely bo possible, and that security for the investment of our capital mey Tenaunably be expected. Tho commerce of Mexico has here- tofore been principally with the United States, England, France and Germany. °OF late years, we have succeeded in obiaining about two- thirds of it. Our success bas been in spito of many disadvantages, not the least of which was the antagonism aud dialike felt for us by the Mexican pecple. This fecling, however, has almost disappeared. Mexicans now understand that the interests of both les imperatively demand warm sympathy and closer business connec- tions betwoen them. We cannot doubt the wisdom of this concession on their part. It is enormously to 1 still more 8o to aid in cstablish- these rolations by every meaus in power. Having this object in ew, we rogard the completion of a railroad from the United States to tt.o City of Mexico as second in im- portance only to that of the Union Pacific. INDUSTRIAL NOTES. The new rolling mill at Sc. Paul Minn., is completed. Several flouring mills in Sherman, Texas, and vicinity, have been chang: ed to cotton mills. The Edgar Thompson steel works of Pennsylvania have recently re- ceived orders for over 80,000 tons of steel rails, principally for new rail- roads. Four manufacturing corporations in Lewiston, M., representing $4,000,- 000 of capital, have declared divi- dends this month aggregating 8180, 000. The new Pavonia elsvator in Jersey City rests on_6000 piles driven into the water and soft earth. Tho elev: tor occupies an areas, superficially. of 60 by 300 feet, and fs 155 feet in height. A cotton factory,to cost about 8350, 000, is projected at Jacksonville, Fla. The locaticn has been chosen, and the capitalists interested are at the north, selecting machinery and making ar- rangements to begin work. The business men of Keokak, Io have formed a stock company fo start a vegetable and fruit cauning factory in that city. At a meeting, December 23, to organize, §5,200 was subscribed towsrda the enterprise. Tho capital stock cf the concern is to be $10,000. The Marsh Harvester manufactory et Plano, Til, is being removed to Chicago, whera a large building has been crected for the purpose. This will take 300 hands with their fami- lies from the former place. At Chi. cazo they will employ 1000 hands. The Iodianapelis rolling mill, in the present year of the com nding November 30, turned ou tons of rails, which is 3840 tons more than were ever turned out of the mifl in | any oas year before. The Portsmouth steel and works turned ou* a ateel vlate recent ly measuring 156570 inches threo. | eighths of an inch thick.

The Erie company are abous to in- | crease the capacity Salamanca. Considerable new ma. chinery is belog added, side track: are being pat in, and other improve- | ments are being made. The working | force is to be increased by the addition of 100 hands.
