SOME MORE SOUND MONEY MEN Chas Green & Co., Boston, clothiers, Boston, Mass., have assigned. And this was a Boston "sound money" firm, too Liabilities $65,000 Herzberg Bros., who have been doing a large wholesale furnishing goods business in Philadelphia for thirty years, assigned last week. L'abilities $60,000 (sound). Roadmaster A. G. Conier, of the Bennington and Rutland Railroad, in Vermont, is a "sound money" man, siad to be worth one hundred thousand sound dollars. He has confessed that he has stolen over $20,000 from the company he was employed by. @ Capt. E. W. Lyles, a well to do far mer and citizen in Mecklenburg county, made an assignment last week. We hope he will, if he has not, join with those who are trying to prevent such things. We understand that Captain Lyles is favorable to silver, but don't want it unless it comes through the Democratic party. One of the meanest "sound money" papers in the country is the Topeka, Kan., Daily Capital. It has been howling "returning prosperity" with a vim, and slandering silver men daily. Claims for $34,000 have been brought against the Capital, partly covered by mortgage, and the paper is in the hands of a receiver. But people continue to be misled by such & heets. The First National Bank of La Grange, Texas, Ct lebrated the "return of prosperity" by closing its doors last Tuesday. The Ashley Phosphate Company, Charleston, S. C., has been doing busi ness many years. Two years of Cleveland's prosperity was all that it could stand, and it assigned last week. A. Sparger, a sound money cotton mill man at Bristol, Tenn., owes 35,000 sound dollars, they being good in Europe and scarce in America, he did just what thousands of others are do ing-assigned. The Fayette-Shaw Tanning Com pany, located in Wisconsin, with headquarters at Boston, have closed down after running for 55 years without in terruption. Dull trade is the cause. L A. Shakman & Co., clothing, Milwaukee, Wis, have failed owing 88,000 sound dollars to one bank. J. W. Bowles, merchant, Little Rock, Ark, has failed owing 30,000 sound dollars. Haff & Newbourer, dry goods, Houston, Texas, believe in sound dollars. They owe just 225,000 of them and have not got enough of them to pay. Frank Bros, dealers in agricultural implements, Portland, Oregon, have failed. We thought the farmers were getting so rich that they would not let a dealer in implements assign.

A REVIVAL (8) OF BUSINESS. With the Facts Before Us, it is Difficult to See Where the Revival Comes In. EDITOR ADVOCATE:-The revival of business 80 loudly proclaimed by speculators and boards of trade in order to raise the wind, and by politicians whose existence depends on a recuperation of the industries of the country, is only a very partial restoration of the former scale of activity at best-amere recovery from the absolute prostration produced by the financial collapse of 1873, and the wages raised are only those cut down during the panic that followed. If anything was necessary to show how illusory and deceptive all such pretentions are, the daily reports of the public press are abundantly sufficient. They abound in failures of old established firms and the collapse of banks-all from an inability to make collections-to an extent that forbids the idea of any great prosperity in the country or a solid and well-founded recuperation of trade and business. One would suppose the ruin would abat9 after the collapse of 200 banks and 250,000 mercantile firms in the country. But the destruction goes on, as the following from a single weekly paper of November 8 now before me shows: The Litchfield (Ill.) Car and Machine Company went into the hands of 8 receiver with liabilities of $168,000. Halff & Newbourer Bros., wholesale dry goods dealers and cotton buyers at Houston, Tex., failed for $225,000. L. A. Shakman & Co., one of the largest firms dealing in clothing in Milwaukee in the wholesale trade, failed for $100,000. After having been in business in Philadelphia for more than a quarter of 8 century Herzberg Bros., wholesale furnishing dealers, failed for $100,000. The United States Leather Company of New York shut down for sixty days the 100 tanneries under its control, throwing 15,000 persons out of work. J.S. Shultzback, a dealer in clothing in Philadelphia, failed for $200,000. Bamburger, Bloom & Co., the largest dry goods firm of Louisville, Ky., has assigned with liabilities of over $1,000,000. The State bank, of Guthenburg, Neb., clcsed its doors, due to slowness of collections. The First National bank, of Lagrange, Tex., has failed with liabilities of $66,850. The summer packing season closed in the West October 31, with near 1,000,000 less hogs slaughtered in past eight months than for the season of 1894. There were 299 business failures in the United States in the seven days ended on the 1st, against 231 the week previous and 259 in the corresponding time in 1894. And these in addition to several suicides mentioned in the same paper occasioned by blasted financial hopes and prospects. Such is the business prosperity that abounds in the country, according to the speculators and politicians and the newspapers employed to promote their booms. No, there can be no actual, perma-
