business paralysis, or whatever it may
rightfully be called, has been frequent-
ly but inconsiderately compared With
that of 1873, but statistics show that
within six months of the past year
more disastrous results were produced
in our most important industries, than
were caused by the panic of 1873 at any
time during the Si: succeeding years.
In cotton the decline in consumption
in 1874 was less than 8 per cent , while
in nine months of 1893 over two million
spindles stopped in New England alone.
The decrease in production of the great
industries by the middle of August had
gone beyond the decrease realized at
any time after the panic of 1873. Of
cottOn mills 23 per cent were closed, of
woolen mills 43 per cent were closed, of
knit goods 53 per cent were closed.
Collections were in consequence slow,
bank deposits declined, loans were cur-
tailed even on good security,merchants
were unable to realize on their securi-
ties, and failures resulted. The fail-
ures for the first nine months of the
year numbered 11,174.
Adarker record still is but just is-
'sued by Bradstreet’s great commercial
agency in an enumeration of the depend-
ent and unemployed, at the end of the
year, and here are the apalling figures:
New England, 65,200 unemployed;
154,400 dependent.
New York and New Jersey, 223,250
unemployed; 563,750 dependent.
Pennsylvania, 151,500 unemployed;
449,200 dependent.
Central Western,227,340 unemployed;
443,310 dependent.
NorthWestern,
175,800 depeulent.
Pacific Coast, 25.800 unemployed;
47,000 dependent.
Southern, 43,065 unemployed; 122,650
dependent. . ' ‘
Totals, 801,855 unemployed; 1,956,110
dependent.
Public men and statesmen, in and out
of Congress, agree with a practical
unanimity, that this distressful condi-
tion Of the country, rich as it is in food
and every essential element of wealth,
was causeless and ought never to have
occurred. Yet our ablest and best men
will not with the same unanimity agree
upon the cause or causes which pro-
duced such hard conditions. It is'but.
truth to state, that the preponderance
of the most intelligent and patriotic
sentiment of the country, assigns asa
chief cause of this disastrous record,an
utter lack of confidence, among busi-
ness men of all parties, in the adminis—
trative ability of the party in power to
conduct and conserve the great finan-
cial interests of either the government
or the people of these United Sthtes.
Such judgement may be just or unjust,
but that it Widely prevails, no intelli-
gent citizen' can deny. But these are
not the reflections calculated to inspire
brighter hopes and to helpmake this a
happy new year. True the year now
closed has been one of hardship, and
while the present outlook is not as en-
couragingly bright as we could wish,
yet may we not reasonably hope that
present shadows are but the darkness
that precedes the sunlit dawn? 'Here
and there are glimpses of better times
at hand. In Pennsylvania, the Key-
stone State of protection, with the Wil-
son tarifl' bill looming in ominous pro-
portions above its horiZOn, the Cam-
bria Iron Company, of Johnstown, is
vigorously pushing the erection of a
steel rail mill, intended to be the model
Plant of the world, and to cost not less
than $1,000, 000. This means the estab-
lishment of a great industry, the em-
ployment of many men, tariff or no
tariff. Conditions cannot be wholly
bad nor wholly incapable of remedy
which permit 'of 'such a ; ventujte.
It is also reported that the Gautier
Steel Works, at J ohnstown, are work-
ing more than 1,000 men: overtime,
many of them making fifteen hours‘p
day, with the works fully two months

Most Rev. John Hughes, archbishop of

the special envoy of PreSIdent Lincoln
to the French empire to conciliate the
French, that they might not throw their
influence in the balance in favor of the
Confederacy. This mission together
with that of the late Henry Ward
Beecher, the envoy to the Court of St.
James, were most effective in restrain-
ing the French and English in Withhold-
ing their aid to the Confederacy. Too
much praise cannot be given these
divines. Their mission, (as was Lin-
coln’s) was providential. and the Amer-
ican people can never too fully honor
those divines for what they did in be-
half of the preservation of the Ameri-
can republic.‘ ‘ " ‘3‘ * ’-" _

The Situation in Danbury.
The industrial situation in Danbury,
save the N ewrr, for the year 1894 opens
up with an interrogation mark. The
first day of Januarv finds both sides in
the laborstruggle as determined as
when the f‘nxpianatory Circular” was
given out. It is true that the labor
unions won the first round in the bat-
tle last week, but the feeling is that the
partial victory does not indicate how
the struggle will end. It is a fact that
the feelings and attitude of both sides
are more pronounced than when the
lockout was first declared. The batters
are more determined, and are united
closer now than ever before.

number. Far the cOnvenience of the
administration of the city affairs, it has
been div1ded into six departments, viz:
Finance, Highways, Lights, Police,
Fire and Sewers; and to the especial
care of each department is assigned a
particular committee.
It is for the Finance Committee to
look after the general financialwelfare
of the city; to see that there is money
available at all times to meet the pay-
ments due, and that such money when
borrowed, shall be obtained at the best
possible advantage for the city.
The Highway Committee has charge
of the roads and sidewalks, and to.
department has always been open [in ..
great deal of criticism; sometimes just.
iv, and at other times unjustly. We
should and must have good roads, and
good sidewalks, as our people (lemano‘
them. It is a department where you
can be as economical as possible, am
still there has to be a great deal oi
money spent each year. I think, how
ever, if our people could only see: and
reel, that for every dollar spent on om
highways we received an equal amount
of benefit, they would be satisfied.
The Police Committee should see that
our police do their full duty at all times,.
without fear or favor of'any one. It
will go a long way toward maintaining
peace and good order in every part of
our city, to know that this plan will be
strictly enforced. Certain laws are
made, and it is for us to see that they
are carried into efi'ect.
The Fire Committee has charge of
our fire department. and I am sure no
city has any better volunteer service
than we have, and so long as the men
give their time and labor without pay,
the city should see that they have all
needful supplies; and it is good econo-
my so to do, as our citizens like to
know that they are well protected
against fires.
The Light Committee has charge of'
s reet lighting. It is a great conven-
ience to the public as well as protection
to property, to have our streets well
lighted, and very many think that the
lights should be kept burning untila
later hour. That can be a matter for
your future consideration.
The Sewer Committee has charge of ,
our sewers, and probablv ,no city is
better situated in this respect than our
own. I am'sure that our committee
will see to it that they are kept in the
best possible condition, for plenty of
good water and good sewerage mean
good health.
There is one public improvement to
which I would call your special atten-
tion, and that is the widening of Wall
street. I believe that there “is no one
improvement that can be'made, that
will so greatly benefit our city as this.
Look at the eastern part of our town,
the most growing part at the present
time, and from its natural location
destined to be more and more so in the
future. We want the people from that
section to come to our city, and in
order to have them do so, we‘ must give
them a better entrance than we now
have. This street should'be widened
from the corner of Water street to the
top of Mill Hill, and on a fair assess-
ment of benefits and damages. The
cost to any one piece of property will
not be much, and for every dol or so
paid the property will be benefited
more than double; and would it not
also be well to try and get a completion
of the street improvement on East
avenue. _ _
It may be said that I am advocating
these improvements because I am inter-
ested in the street railways, and it will
be a benefit to them. Very true, (but
of how much greater benefit' to. the
public and to property,) and if it is
right and fair that they should pay anv
proportion of this improvement, have
them dose. ’
May —we not hope to have in the near
future, a city building which shall ac-
commodate the various city depart-
ments, and city-jail; with one clerk
who shall do both the city work and
also that of the Water Commissioners,
and a General Superintendent of Pub-
lic Works; with our police force en-
tirely free from political changes, all of
which will be in the line of progress,
and should be a saving in cost tothe
cit .
1y would recommend to the head of .
the various departments, that wherever
labor is employed the same be divided
around wherever it is practicable to .do
so, “thus-giving: as many as possible an
opportunity! . to: receive some benefit
from the money paid out by the city."_
And now gentlemen, in conclusion‘it
is my: earnest hope that we may all
work'together‘ harmoniously d rang the
ensuing year, (as I am sure we shall)
for the common good of all. -
