And yet no mana ger in the land has had the wit to remove these torments in the simple manner adopted by the functionary of a French provincial theatre, i He made no boister ous observations; he gave no stern orders; not he. He merely printed in large let ters this master piece of genius : "The manager requests that all good-looking young ladies will remove their hats for the accomodation of the rest of the audi ence The aged, the bald and the plain are not expected to comply with this request."

TTTTiT rVVNTYrTTfYV fYP TlTTftTVF.SSt 1 " : 5 Thongh people have Been for two years now prophesying and anticipating the im4 prorement of baginesS) yet trade still continues unsatisfactory. 1 be situation; is not alarming, nor is the prospect very gloomy. But there are many failures! and merchants find that they must con 4 tent themselves with a smaller per centJ age of gain than that to which they have grown accustomed, and with reference to which they had fixed their scale of txs penses at home and in the warehouse. This condition of things is likely to bqj permanent. Even though the volume oi basiness increases, as it suiely will, thel merchant must be prepared to accept much reduced rate of profit as compared. with that ot tho ten years previous to 1872. It will therefore require greater skill, more prudence, wiser execution, to successfully conduct a large business than in those golden years when even the careless, extravagant, reckless, and. rash could not escape making money so lone as they had anything: to sell. It U keeping ot money, the wise disposition o it, that indicates business capacity, rath er than the mere faculty of makine it! when the opportunities are abundant. I one tenth part of .he men who made for-; tunes between 1861 and 1871 had had real business pruueuce, sound, practica beads, coolness, and self coutrol, the' number of our prosperous citizens would; be mauy times what it now is. They lacked those necessary qualities, so far as' the keeping of money is concerned, andi tne result is mat tney now must pay; tribute to those who had them and used! them iu preserving rather than in haz arding. A correspondent of the Nation present1) facts and figures to show that business is not impieviug. The iron business, one of the greatest industries of the country, has not been profitable during the year ; fur naces and foundries are closed iu Urge numbers, and only those; run which are favorably situated for cheap production. In lumber the manufacturer had actually lost, iu 1875. In woolen and cotton manufactures prices have declined seri ously, amounting in the case of cotton goods from ten to twenty per cent. Mills are closed in many places. The circulars of the large dry goods manil facturers show that very near all their ttock is (or sale now at lower prifces tbaA . tTe .1 K r . c 1 ii y cr ngo. kji me i,ao-i failures will liabilities of S 131,172,503, 1,771 with lil i abilities of 854,32S,227 occurred in the! third three months of toe year an ex cess of about 200 failures knd $20,000,000 liabilities over the secoud three mouths. The uumber of failures has steadily in creased ; 3,050 in 1872, 3,887 in 1873, 4,371 in 1874, and 5,334 in 1875, takiug nine mouths of the year. ; These facts are certainly significant, bat they indicate rather the economy of the people' than an actually unhealthy condition of trade. The number of fail ures shows only bow far the shrinkage in valties has affected houses which were doing more business than their capital justified. - Though the private calamity is great in such cases, : yet the public really gains by the disaster which atr tends such weakness. The bouses that stand are strengthened, and a premium is put on conservative basiness manage ment. The weeding out process will do good, and decrease the hazards which always accompany extended credit. This salutary effect will continue until busi ness again gets into speculative channels, when the failures will again increase, and more weeding oat will have to be done. The most serious outlook is in manu facturing. The condition of our manu factures as. a whole is not encouraging, although they" are much nearer -bard pan than they liave been fat years. They cannot long remaiuia4their present stagnant situation, and the greater econ omy which tiow goverus the management of the factories enables them to produce fabricks al nearly as low a rate as they did before the war, and yet save a fair margin of profit. What the people of the country, whu are themselves so closely -economizing, demand of the Government, is that a like rigid economy shall coutrol its expendit ure. Expenses municipal, State, and national mutt everywhere be brongbt down to the lowest attainable figDre. The party that does this will get the suffrages of the people, in spite of ; Grant's Anli Gathplic third-term movement and all his other schemes for his own re-election. Reduce 'the expenses, reduce (he taxes, stop the stealing ; these are the demands. -N.Y.Sun. THE PRINTING PLUNDER.
