Demooralio editors and speak
ers, banking on the ephimersl
ness of the people's memories,
are making, a, great .ad gleeful
cackle over the number of. com
mercial failures In 1903 evident j
ly hopeiog that their readers and
hearers w:ll conclude that bank-j
ruptcy and ruin stalks abroad
in tbe land as never before and
that the prosperity the Republi
cans talk abont is but "the guild
ed halo of decay." . ' ' . 1
Let us examine - the s records
and see bow.thins vhave been in
years gone by when Cleveland
was president and congress was
Democratic; During the four ,
years 01 ClevelauHs second term
there were 57,412 commercial
failures in the United States with
an agg8egate ' of 1 liabilities a
mounting to $919,060,439, the
greatest number of failures was
during the first year of Cleve
land's term with 16,242 failures
with liabilities at $346,779,889.
During the four year- of Re
publican rule, from 1903 back,
here were 45.460 commercial
failures with liabilities aggregate
ing 624,508,003. ,..(,
By comparing the commercial
failures that ocoured . in Cleve
land's second ' administration
with the failures tlist ocoured
during the four yars cf Repub.
lioau rule ending June 30 1903,
the last year1of,wbi,ch,the Obser
ver has tho official record, it will
be seen that the - record shows
ihat in Cleveland's second ad
miuistration there were 11,952
more failures than. In. ?the four
years of Republican 1 rule, and'
that the liabilities of the failing
debtors in Cleveland's - second,
administration exceeded ' those'
in the said four years of Repub
Ucan rule by $369,552,436." '
The people remember more
about ; file velaod?q - second ad j
ministration, the first time since
1860 than the Democratic leaders
suppose they do.
The steamship Arabia now ql
Portland willjesve in a few day a
with 5000 boxes f apples for the
Orient., TThis is developing into
a,good market which will grow
larger each year.
Not a few horses have been re
jected by' the purchasers .of
hqrpea'nqw.here;buying'j(Qr the
Atlas stage line, for the reanon
of barb, isrirjf bears on the legs.'
Experience there has proved
that in that country it is difficult
to keep the legs free fiom irrita
tion where the iair refuses to
grow out over the scars. It is
surprising to know bow many of
our horses in the valley show the
jtffeet ofsuoh injuries. , "
