THE HISJXJ'SS OUTLOOK,
Failure^ for the Year IS7(5 nn (omimred
wiij Those of 1875?Sonic Interesting
StHtialietu
During tlic your 1870 there were in
the United States, according to the re*
port just made by the mercantile agonov
of Dun, Barlow it Co., 030,009 persons
reported in business. Of these 0,092
failed with liabilities amounting to $191,117,780.
In 1875 there wore 7,740 failures
with $201,000,353 liabilities, showing
an increase of failures for the year of
1,350, as compared with 1875, which
year in turn showed an increase over
187-4 of nearly two thousand failure-..
The liabilities of the parties failing in.
1870 show a decrease over those of 1875.
hi Canada of 54,28*2 ] ersons doing business
during 1870, there failed 1,728
agirinst 1,908 in 1875. The liabilities
iu 1870 were ?25,517,991 against $2S,843,907
in 1875. For New York city the
number failures in 187G was 887 and
the average liabilities ot each $37,479.
It may be interesting, says Messrs. ;
Dun, Harlow Co., to discover in what
sections of the country the liuancnil
pressure has been the most severe, and
with that view the following table is
presented:

Ail examination of the above t..Me
confirms the impression, which lias
been very general, that trade in Hie 1
Western anil Southern States has been
less disastrous than that of the Eastern
ami Middle States. It is a siguilicant
circumstance, that the failures in the
Middle States are one in every titty-sown
names reported in business, while in the
Western States the proportion is one in :
every seventy-two; but the comparison
between the E.tst and the South is even
more significant, for in New England,
with all its wealth and solidity, one in
every fifty-nine has yielded to the pressure
of the times, while in the South,
with all its poverty, its political ami
other disabilities, the percentage of failures
is only one in every sixty-four.
Even in Canada, where there is a gold
basis, light taxation, freedom from politi*
eal complications, and all other favoring
conditions, t lie alcove showing is indicative
<if much greater pressure than in
the United States, the failures in the
Dominion being one in every thirty-two.
In England no very accurate figures are
obtainable, and none of course as vet for
the prist year, hut for 1ST") a return was
made of 1.700 failures among f?0,000
firms prominent in trade, indicating one .;
failure for even thirty-six firms reported
in business, with an average liability of
387,870. The figures for the United
States, showing a failure of one in every <
sixty-three, with nn average liability of j
$21,000, ind'eate that the pressure of the (
times has been either not so great in this |
country a-> elsewhere, or that it has been i
borne \> ith less disastrous results. '
Tt would be unfair to conclude that j1
the trade of the country is in an unprom- j
ising condition, because the failures
show such a marked increase. A wider j 1
view would inelude many circumstances I!
that would bring more comfort. For instance,
it is undeniable that the past year ,
has witnessed a marked improvement in
the values of many leading staph s, as i i
compared with the prices prevailing in '1
1875. It is equally true that in extent ,
of profitable trade there has been a perecptible
gain, and there i no den vim*
the fact Unit, lit many branches of busi- >
liess, u nmeh larger number have added J
tv> their available surplus during 1S7?5 t
than in 1875. Many art:Vi"s have reach- |
ed a par value, in illustration of which
the statement may he ventured that, as !
fur as further depreciation in prices was t
.concerned, specie payments might have i
be<u resumed in the early part of 187(5 f
without causing any material disturbance j
in values. Not only h;ul some prices |
reached par?and in some cases below it
?but itM^ns a settled conviction that the
stock of ^[ods i:i ail hands nearest t!ie *
consumer Md reached the lowest possi- j'
ble point. Production, warned by pre- %
vious loss-jMias been regulated to the >
extent of-positive wants; and the press- ;i
ure to sell, so apparent in 1875, was 1
largely diminished. Thus, barely the j1
first half of 1870 was reached, when all j,
the conditions of slock, supply, demand (
and price favored an improved condition
of business. That this improvement did 1
take place in September ami October ?
was everywhere evident; but the heated >
Presidential contest, and the miserable i
muddle as to the result of that contest ! '
which has since prevailed, has almost
completely paralyzed business. The !
last two months of the year, therefore, ?
were most disappointing, and from t
causes exceptional an I temporary in ?
character, ill-* promise of the early an- I
tumu of improvement in business was '1
not fillrilled. It is significant, however, '
that the failures in the last quarter of s
187t> are less by twenty per cent, in :t
number than for the last quarter in 1875,
while tin- total liabilities for the last
quarter of 187<> are not one-half of those
of the corresponding quarter of lS7o.
The, same favorable comparison also
holds poo I as t> the decreased number
of failures which occurred in the fourth
qu irter of 1 JS7??, as mipared with tin?
larger number in the third quarter. * *
It is true that the gloomy cloud of the
political contest objures these conditions
somewhat, and that a winter of extreme
severity, with difficulty of transportation
and other causes, reiar Is their
action to so.iu1 extent. Bui, that these
favoring c;u litiens not only exist, and
continue <o increase, none can doubt.
The year - just closed has been a ;no.->t >
prolific <>!!' in largely augmenting the 1
wealth of the country. Cotton, grain,
sugar, tobacco, gold and silver, petro- j
leum?and numerous other ivsonrces ??i* !
thi? gr-at continent, have been pro- >
duced in t jti ml it :<* -? suili vent to viei.l 1
nearly 1,00M millions cf d -iiars. While j
the producing power ?.f the nation has !
thus been exhibiting its"if, on tin* one t
hand, the economy of iis people has ;
been equ illy cfrariy demonstrated on the '
otlicr. The importations haw dwindled
to dimension* smaller than was at on 1 <
time thought possible, and the restricted I
purchases of domestic as wel' as foreign '
goods, in all sections of the country, '
afford tie: strongest possible indication,
that the foolish extravagance winch so :
universally prevailed in the first live ;
years of the decade, is being succeeded j
by lessen.- 1 living and business expenses,
and a safer b.isis generally Is thu< being
readied.

What Came in a Potato.
The Worcester (Mass.) Spy says : A
friend of ours received a day or two ago
through the post office, from Olyinpin,
Washington Territory, <i roundish, irrptnibir
naekace. which on examination
! proved to contain a large; potato. Furthur
investigation showed that the potato
had been cut in two and the inside
scooped ant, and in the cavity were
found flowers and leaves, which, as he
i learned by a note previously received,
had been picked in a garden iu the open
air on the twenty-sixth day of December.
The flowers, pansies, geraniums and
others were as fresh and bright as il'
they had been gathered within an hour,
hough their journey across the continent
had occupied fifteen days. Olympia
is in about the latitude of Quebec,
though its winter climate is not more svvere
than that of Memphis.
Still Ahead.
The only lirst-class hotel in New York where
the traveler can stop for ?2.50 and 53.00 a dnv
is the Grand Central, JJroadwav. Its location is
convenient to the principal stores and places of
amusement; its table and attendance such that
every one stopping there feels as though they
had got the worth of their money. .
The Prodigal.
Inheritors of vast wealth are proverbially
| spendthrifts. The golden ore is dug from the
1 mine, celined. and coined, by the labor of other
' hands and the sweat of other brows. Like
children playing with an expensive toy, they
can form no just estimate of its value. \Vlu-ii
tho donor weighed it lie cast into the balance so
many days of unremitting and fatiguing toil, no
many anxious and sleepless nights, so much
self-denial and so much care, lint the inheritor
into his balance throws only ?pleasure.
The one values it bv what it cost liini: the otln r
for what it will purchase. Like the prodigal in
tli" Scripture parable, lie thoughtlessly expends
it t<> gratify the caprice and cravings of bis na-'
ture. Then comes the last scene?the misery,
the remorse, and the long and wearisome journey
back to the home of frugal industry. lint
there are other prodigals. On her favorite*
our bounteous parent, nature, has lavished her
richest treasure?health, lint the prodigal
j values it lightly, for it cost him naught, and
1 recklessly squanders it in riotous living. Present
pleasure obscures future want. Soon the curtain
rises on the last scene". We see him helpless,
impoverished?the rich treasures of body
and mind all lost?in misery and despair. Kemorsefnl
conscience holds up to him the mirror
of memory. In his' own reckless folly he perceives
the cause of his present pain.* Heresolves
to return. fJ he journey is long and
tedious, but if )? perseveringly follows the
right road he will at length see* the haven of
his hopes in the distance, and nature, seeing
her invalid child afar off, will come out to meet
him, and receive him back with love and blessing.

suffering prodigal should read "The People's

iJidf Sir?Some three years since I was, after
a long solicitation, induced by your agent. Mr.
Davis to try a bottle of your Wistar's Dalham
of Wild Cherry, which required no little persuasion
on his part, as 1 had already tried almost
even- patent medicine on the whole list, within
the last ten years, but all to no avail. I have
for the past twenty years been troubled with
a consumptive cough, and had become so much
reduced as to be unable to sit up, and bud fully
given up ever finding anything to help me, as
my case was conceded by all to be a settled case
of consumption, and therefore deemed totally
incurable. In that situation I commenced the
use of the Wild Cherry, from which I soon
began to lind some relief, and persevered in
its use until I had taken some three or four
bottles, when my health was a'ino-t fully restored
: and for the past two years I have eninved
better health than I have before in
twenty years, and feci that I mil alone indebted
tn the Lalsam for my recovery : and I think I
hazard nothing in Having that I owe my present
existence to it, and that it is the best medicine
I have ever known forjeonsuinptive coughs and

effects in other eases than my own, 1 would
most cheerfully recommend ii-i use to all thus

WATCHMAKING IN AMERICA.
Testimony of tlie flnlM Comnilnsloncr?
American Superior to Foreign Wntehc*.
M. Edonard Favre Ferret, Swiss commissioner
to the Centennial Exhibition, and mem
btr of the international jury on watches, lias
; given the results of his observations on Ameri- ,
| can watchmaking in a public address at Chuux- j
de-Fonds. Loclu and Neuehatel. Being himself
a large watch manufacturer, his statements
made a profound impression in Switzerland, }
I and will be road with the liveliest interest in this j
country. After sketching the growth of watch- j
making in Besaneon, by which tho French ;
market for watches was lost to Switzerland, he I
spoke substantially as follows :
Frr a long time America has been the princi- j
pal market for our watches. To-day we must |
earnestly prepare to struggle with the Americans j
on the fields where hitherto wo have been the |
masters. Mr. Dennison, tho father of American j
watchmaking, traveled through the canton of |
Neuehatel. studying our mode of manufacturing.
seeking to inform himself of even-thing,
and carefully noting the weak points in our industry.
After his return to the United States,
in 1854, he founded a factory at Boston?"Tho
Boston Watch Company." The capital?scarcely
*100,000?was subscribed by capitalists more j
, than by practical business men. In the begin- j
ning. the company turned out only the rough j
skeleton movement ami attended to the finish- [
ing; all other parts, such as trains, balances, !
jewels, etc.. were imported from Switzerland. |
T itHr. Jiv little, however, the factory extended i
it? operations and produced other parts, lint
as the profits were small, the capitalists abandoned
it and it failed in 1850.
Another American, Mr. llohbins, scented a
good speculation, and bonght the factory and
tools for f75.000. A new company?" The
American Watch Company"?was formed, with
a capital of ><200.000. which was increased to J
?300,000 before the war, which put on foot a I
million of soldiers, and as every one wanted a
watch, there was great animation in the watch |
business. At this juncture, which might have I
been a lucky one for our industry, we failed to j
comprehend our real interests. Instead of sending
good watches to the Americans, flu; wor d
trn>;li was sent. The Americans, however, weilt
I to work on un entirely different plan. The |
company increased their plant and turned out a j
better ordinary wateh than the Swis." watch. At {
1 the end of several yearn the American watch en- I
joyed a good reputation, while ours were discredited
everywhere. In 18(55 the capital was
increased to 3750,000, and the operations of the
company grew to immense proportions. The I
Waltham Company gives employment to !ll)0
workmen, and make about 425 movements per
day. They have again increased their capital
till it amounts to >51,500,000, Ijesides ^"30u.i!(!fl
as a reserve fund. This watch factory is a real
power: Ihrrr is now like it in fiurfi/H-. We
nave seen it in all its details, and we have admired
its splendid organization.
Last May. on the eve of the Exhibition, we
stilt seemed masters of the situation. One
event, however, dealt us a mortal blow. The
Waltham Company announced a reduction of
from forty to fifty per cent, on prices already
lower thnii their rivals, the reduction to date
back to January 1, 187(1. It is unnecessary to
fell you, gentlemen, how very detrimental this
was io the Swiss watch. Still another and more
important reason explains the growing prosperity
of the American Company. Their took work
so regularly that all parts of the watch may be
interchanged bv a simple order on a postal card
without necessitating the forwarding of the adjoining
piece.
The question has often been asked, can the .
Americans sufficiently supply the demand of
their markets ? Yes, tbev can : we arc driven
out of the American market. In 18U0 the
American Companies produced only 15,000
watches. To-day. they produce 250,(>^p, which
can lie easily doubled. We sent to the United j
States, in 1872. 306,000 watches. In 1S70 we
shall barely send them 75,000 watches. The j
Americans have already begun to send their i
manufacture to Europe.* In England they sell
annually from 20,000 to 30.000 watches. The
American watch commcnccs to drive from the
English market the Swiss watch and even the
t English watch. The Americans begun by ere- !
t uting a demand for their goods in the indies
; and in Australia, and then?thanks to some j
> powerful importing houses?they invaded Eng- i
j land. At Moscow and St. Petersburg they j
have already established important branch j
offices. Their aim is to drive us first out of
their own rmintrv niul then to comnete with i
us ?ii our own soil. I sincerely confess tbnt I |
personally linve doubted that competition, lint I
now I have Keen?I have felt it?and I am j
I terrified by the danger to which our industry i < |
exposed. Besides. I am not the on'y one t > ,
i think so: the Hociete Intorcaiitoiulc have sent
' a delegate to make inquiries, and his rei>ort
; perfectly agrees with mine. Up to this very
; day we have believed America to be dependent
i upon Europe. We have been mista'en. The
Americans will send us their prodno, . since we
i cannot send them our own. Their importation
is not confined fo watches alone. Already
America has commenced to send cotton goods
to England which hitherto monopolized that !
article in the markets of the world.
Can the Americans maintain their prices ?
Yes, they can, for if they obtain a good profit
! on their superior quality goods, they can afford
to bo satisfied with a smaller profit on the lower
grades of watches. In America, everything is
1 made by machinery : here we make everything
by hand. In Switzerland about 40,000 work-'
men make, on an average, each forty watches
per annum. In the United States, tlie average
; is about 150 watches. Therefore the machinery
pro !uces three and a half to four times more
than the workmen
Had the Philadelphia Exhibition taken- place ,
live years later, we should have been totally
annihilated without knowing whence nor how
we received the terrible blow. We have believed i
ourselves masters of the situation, when we I
really have been on a volcano. And, to-day, i
we must actually struggle if we do not want to
encounter, in all the markets, that rival mam:- j
fi'.cture. For a long time we have hoped that |
the customs duties, amounting to zo per cent., i
might bo reduced. We oiiuiiot count upon it.
America needs all her resources, and whether
: Democrats or Bepublieans he in power, we c.111i
not hope for a reduction of import duties. We
must, therefore, make up our mind to lose the
American market. It. has been complacently
said that the Americans do not make the entire
watch, hut are dependent upon Switzerland
for several jwrts of the watch. This is a mistake.
The Waltiiam Company makes the entire
watch from the tirst screw t<? the case and dial.
It would even he difficult for them to use our
products, so grunt is the regularity, up minute
the precision with which their machines work.
They arrive at the regulation of the watches
?so to Hay?without having seen it. When the I
watch is given to the adjuster, the foreman de- t
livers to him the corresponding hair-spring, j
and the watch is regulated. [Sensation among '
1 the audience. 1 Here is what I have Keen, gen- i
tlemesi! I asked from the director of the j
Wnltham Company a watch of the fifth grade, i
i A large safe was opened before me ; at random '
I took a watch out of it and f i.-tcncd it to my j
chain. The director having asked me t;> let I
him have the watch for two or three days, so as j
to observe its motion, I answered: "On the I
coniiv.ry, 1 persist in wearing it just as it is to
l obtain an exact ide.\ of your manufacture." At
' Paris, I set my watch by a regulator on the
; Boulevard, and on the sixtli day I observed that
; it had varied 32 seconds ! And* this watch is of
the fifth American grade ; it cost 75 francs
(movement without case"). On my arrival at
Locle I showed the watch to one of our first
adjusters, who asked permission to take it
down?that is, to take it to pieces. I, however,
wished first to observe it, and here is the result
which I noted : Hanging, daily variation, one j
and one-h!4J seconds : variation 111 uitierent po- j
sitions from four to eight seconds ; in the heat- j
c(l rooms the variation was very slight. Ilav- j
iiij; thus observed it, I handed the watch over ,
to the adjuster, who took it down. After a few j
days lie came to me, a.id said, word for word : j
' / am computet </ overwhelmed; the result is in- i
rri'iliblf; one irttuhl mif find one such watch I
among fifty thousand of our manufacture \
This watch, gentlemen, 1 repeat to von, I took j
ut hazard?out of u heap, us we pay. You un- \
derstand from this exnmp'ojthat the American |
watch may be preferred to the Swiss. I have 1
finished, gent'emeu, and I have told you of
, things such as I hav<! seen them. It remains
for us to profit from this sad experience, and

A Party Comes to Grief.
The Albany Timet gives the following
interesting account of the untimely ending
of a party in that city: A family living
in Lancaster street went to New
York, leaving the servants in charge of
the house. Supposing that the visit wis
to be prolonged till after New Year's, the
"Belles of the Kitchen" determined to
improve their opportunity and give a
select party. Invitations were issued and
as jolly a crowd collected as was to be
found in the whole city. Tlio " spread "
was ample, the luxurious belongings
were well enjoyed, and all went merry as
a marriage bell. Suddenly a sharp ring
at the door startled those who heard it.
A telegram was handed in announcing
that "the family would arrive within an
hour!" All was consternation; the
" guests " were made aware of the situation,
and leaving the table but partly
cleared of its good things, donned their
outer garments and departed. The
" hostesses " begun the almost impossible
task of putting things to rights in
the short time allowed them; but did
their best, and at the expiration of the
hour something like order reigned onee
more. But the family came not, and
haven't come yet. Tho telegram was a
heartless forgery committed by some envious
creature who didn't get an invitation.
Dull Boys.
Don't be discourage J. Slow growth
is often sure growth. Some minds are
like Norwegian pines. They are slow
in growth, but they are striking their
roots deep. Some of the greatest men
have been dull boys. Dry den and Swift
were dull boys. So was Goldsmith. Ho
was Gibbon. So wns Sir Walter Scott.
Napoleon at school had so much diilicalty
in learning his Latin that the master
said it neMn'l gimlet to get a
word into his fii-atw. Douglas Jerrold
was so backward in Ins boyhood that at
nine he was scarcely able to read. Isaac
Barrow, one of the greatest divines the
English church has ever produced, was
so dull that his father more than once
said il' God took away one of his children
he hoped it would be Isaac, as he feared
he would never be fit for anything in
this world Yet that boy was the genius
of the family.
