I Included in all things: initial ll nothing. 6 The-Gazette‘has the largest cir- culation of any paper in Norwalk. and furnishes the lowest advertisinz rates- History Repeats itself. “Twenty years ago the times were hard in this country and many business concerns came to grief. But after looking up the statistics the New York Journal of Commerce asserts that in some respects and in some parts of the country, these‘present hard times are harder than the hard times of 1873. The total number of American busi- ness firms in that year was about 600,- 000; now according to Dunn & Co., the total is about 1,100,000. The number of failures in that year was 5,183 ; ag- gregate liabilities, $228,000,000. The number of failures in the first six months of the present year was 6,239; aggregate liabilities, nearly $171,000,- 000. The number of failures reported , in the past six weeks is 2,667; aggre- gate liabilities (estimated) over $80,- 000,000. That is to say, 1893 has al: ready beaten the bad record of 1873, with four months still to be heard from. Of the failures of twenty years ago,- 1,188 occurred in the state of New York, and 644 in the city of New York; ~the aggregate, liabilities in the. city were about $92,000,000; in .the rest of the state, nearly» $14,000,000. During the first half of the present year only 351 New York City firms failed; aggro-r gate liabilities about $18,000,000. The total number of failures in the state was 749, representing about $34,000,000 of liability. The figures from Pennsyl- vania in 1873 were : Failures 576, lia- bilities $31,000,000. The number of Pennsylvania firms going to smash in the first half of the present year was. 479, representing abOut $16,000,000. Clearly New York and Pennsylvania are net taking the brunt of the hard. times this year as they did in 1873. To find the worst of the present mischief you have to go to the younger states, stretching. away across the continent to thePacific. ' It is’a fact worth noting that the per”- centage of these Western failures di- rectly traceable to theprostration of the, silver mining industry is compar- atively small. .; The temporary paralysis of the iron induBti‘y—‘m’inirig and many ufacture—counts for a great deal more in the chapter of disaster.” ‘ A Depiorable' Condition. “It isimpossible to conceive of'a rich nation finding itself in a more deplor- able condition than this country is in tO-day, remarks the Washington Post. The wheels of industry are standing still. Thousands of men are idle, and women and'childreh are without food. Mills and factories are closing, railroad earnings are» falling away, and. every day adds other thousands to the ranks of the unemployed. How long is this state of things to last, while Senators and Representatives in Congress do- hate and wrangle about the cause 3 Whatever the cause may be, the country looks to Congress for a remedy, and as the Democratic party is in con-' trol the‘country‘ must and will hold that party responsible for the delay. The country wants relief, 'and if, it can» not have it because the Democrats can- not agree among themselves it will know where to lay the blame. Why should the House of Repre- sentatives keep the country waiting . another week ? Business is in a condi- tion of nervous prostratz'bn, and every day of delay adds to the national n'er' vousness. . The situation is intolerable. But it is here, and no amount of talk- ing about the cause of it will do any good. The general, belief is that we can get relief by stopping the purchase of silver, and that belief alone is rea- son enough to stop. If, in addition, Congress will authorize the sale of gold bonds to make our national treasury solvent beyond question, we ’shall get immediate and substantial relief. Every day of delay makes things worse. Con- gress has power to apply a remedy. The Democratic party controls Con- gress.” - ' ‘ . “ Responsibility of the party in power for all legislation is one of the cardinal and controlling principles of the’Dem- ocratic party.” adds the N. Y. Sun with emphasis, and further announces that "the Convention which nominated Mr. ~ Tilden for Governor, and helped to res- tore the shattered lines of party or- ganization, declared without evasion this,;to be a veritable tenet of Dem- ocracy; ' - . , '. ' ‘ “.".1‘he..psrty in cover is responsible. for all legislation while—in-power."v" l! The Democratic party ,is now, con-- tinues theSun,” in full possession of all branches of the Federal Govern- ment. It has the President. It has in‘the Senate a good working majority. 1ts majority» in the House of Repre- sentatives is so large as to release it “from the necessity Of seeking. help from party opponents. ” = “The principles of thefiparty were, with singular explicitness, defined by ' the last National Convention. Under these circumstances all that seems necessary to be done is fer the Dem- ocrats to carry out what they have agreed to 1 perform, and loyally keep faith with the people whose votes in- trusted them with the power to legis- late. The party in power is responsible for legislation while in power." ~09. TERSE TALES OF THE TIMES.
