THE YEAR'S BUSINESS
The year which hna just drawn to a
close lui furtiisliPil n ronmrka'ilo com
mentary on the elasticity of American
trndo and industry nnd the stability
of the basis of our prosperity. In the
face of n partial failure of crops , en
tailing A loui of $ 100,000,000 in the
value of our yearly product * , n remark-
siblo axtonsion of our railroads , which
taxed severely the financial resources
of the country nnd a disastrous war
of rated , which greatly drained the
dividend paying powers of our rail
roads , the general condition of trade
nnd industry l as satisfactory n it
has been for many years , and the
prosperity of the nation remains ap
parently unimpaired.
Thu ( lanrsora which threatened the
commercial interests of the country
during the past year hnvo been
great and numerous. The terrible
winter prolonged late into the spring ,
blockaded nil roads , and seriously
crippled a large number of hading
trunk lines. Trade and transporta
tion woo greatly interrupted , the
movement of the crops was impeded ,
much grain was winter killed , and the
loss in cattle on many of the ranges
was enormous. The snow had hardly
mulled before n soamm of
destructive tloods caino which
did enormous damage and retarded
planting , nnd these wore quickly fol
lowed by the longest nntl severest
drought which the country has over
known and which extended over the
greatest area recorded in the history
of the country. Hay and crops wore
burnt , animals wore starved or killed
to escape the loss of feeding , and man
ufacturers woru arrested nt many
points by lack of water. The Now
York Public attributes the railroad
war to this extraordinary succession
of unfavorable weather. For the ex
traordinary weather led railroad man
agers to expect a greater loss of crop :
than actually resulted. They sole
their stocks'early in the year , ant
have boon waging a great war of rntei
for six months in order to get back UK
same stocks at lower prices.
Strictly speaking , the actual IOHI
of crops did less hitrm , connidorubli
as it was , than the exaggerated oxpoc
ttttion of Ions of crops. Early in tin
summer it was very generally beliovnt
that there would not ho half a crop o
wheat. The whole world was care
fully advised that this country vroulc
not have wheat enough for its owi
consumption , and that the bad plantin ;
season would make the corn crop i
failure also. Even with the terribli
drouth which followed , the yield o
all grains proved greater than was an
ticipntcd in May or Juno. But tin
expectation of great disaster set 01
foot gigantic speculations , not enl ;
in railroad stocks , but in wheat , corn
oats land cotton. Prices were sooi
rushed up to the point at which , it i
now evident , they cannot bo main
tainod. High prices here caused foreign
oign consumers to supply their need :
as largely nnd quickly as possible f ron
other sources , and thus deprivoi
us of markets for , our surplus
The enormous speculations nb
sorbod nn immeiiso capital , am
caused monetary prosauro. The act
ual decrease in yield , now suppose !
to bo over 1)0,000,000 ) , bushels c
wheat and 440,000,000 bushels u
corn , was largely neutralizodbystocki
loft over from lost year , so that ther
ia now little reason to expect tlin
markets can bo found for the surplu
actually uit hand. Thus , while th
real decrease in yield , nt last year' '
prices , would involve a loss of ovu
$300,000,000 in wheat and corn , an
a very largo sum in other grains , hay
vegetables , fruit , animal food , an
cotton , the loss was greatly incrcasei
by speculation based upon oxpoctn
tion of much heavier loss.
To add to the disturbance caused b ;
speculation enmo the assassination o
President Garfiiild which created dii
trust , disturbed values , and for n tint
retarded business and checked untei
BO. Still Iho wonderful confidoiic
of the country never deserted it. Di
spite of these most extraordiimr
events commerce , trade and imlustr
have advanced with great strides. Th
usgreguto tonnage moved on rail
roads and caimla ia reported
iiimch larger than during an
preceding ye.ir. The exchanges wor
groalor by over 26 per cent than i
1880 , indicating a remurkablo increos
in the general business , and eve
when the npeculatiro clement is elin
inated at loiwt 20 per cent , more trad
has been transacted in this countr
than during the preceding twoli
months , which is indeed a romarkabl
showing ,
The country now enters upon tl
new year with every proapect of 001
tinuod proporlty. The only cause f <
alarm is ur the speculative man
which hu ao often threatened vali
and created distrust , If this recoiv

THE ICAUIAN COMMUNITY.
Three or four miles east of Corn-
iiit ; is u peculiar institution , or asso
ciation , thpt. is aaid to have branched
otf from Nauvoo , and nettled here
thirty years years auo. They speak
tlio pure French , maintain thu family ,
but eat at one common fable , manage
their business through a central com
mittee , diess in the primitive and
prescribed fashion , are somewhat
clanish in their dealings with others ,
are usually industrious , and vote tin
republican ticket , They hare until
within a short time , lived in loj.
houses , gegorally , but tlio society hai
been divided , the younger cl.iss beinj
desirous to adopt the costume of othui
people ubout them and build tfoot
iiiodfrn houxoB , and this they are nov
doing , and they form a community bi
themselves. The two form u settle
nent of about one hundred persons
with a good mill , shops and tradini

Amons { the leading business house
we notice the mammoth store of
TW1N1NO lIKOTHKKh.
Hardly anywhere in western low

{ etic men , and th y carry a laiv
itork of drill's , holiday goods , booki

located in ono of the best situations i
the plitco and do very largo businei
by selling the best goods at the lowei
figures.
Aa soon u we mounted the hill t
the court-house and looked over tl
trading houses , it struck us tin
some one was being sold out heie t
the ihorifT and we hurried along wil
the people on the street to see tl
fun. The room was full , and Chria
mas close at hand , the windows ft
of goods , and the sidewalk crovrde
A wagon going up the street was ca
ryinir away a iitio organ , and anoth
was being loaded in a dray , backed i
by the sidewalk , und a luughiug no
tlcmaii , without a hat , was securii
the packing and givinu orders quit
ly , and wo at once nuked who wus d
ing all this , and Iho cloik turned in
an astonished way to inquire if
wo had been long in the United
States , nnd wo went away , asking
John Oarvin to explain , nnd ho whis
pered that everybody know those
boys were brothers of Mrs. Santa
Clans , nnd that the old man had set
them up in business , aud at the close
of the year ho keeps them looking up
the dividends while ho takes an in
ventory ; and ho sends the man who
.tunes orgins and pians out the house
becaUBO ho is very sensitive and can
not bear the noise , although ho is n
good man in that business , and they
don't want to lese him , for by his
help they aiu selling instruments at
the rate of 85,000 or $10,000 worth a
year. They road THK IKK.
The banking house of Oco. W ,
Frank it Dorrow have large , beautiful
rooms for their business , and do a
heavy business. Ono of the curiosi
ties wo saw while eyeing their papers
was an original and very comprehen
sive form of a check on the bank ,
given to a farmer for some corn , and is
us follows :
Goo. W. Frank t Darrow , bankers ,
pay to Thomas Goodonough , or order ,
twenty-five dollars , in full ( advanci-d )
for 2 loads , each 25 bushels , of his
best , select , corn , no poor earn

quiet and gentlemanly proprietor , and
his pleasant and accomplished wife ,
know how to "keep a hotel , " and
they have plenty to do , for the travel

when in Corning.
There is ono other attraction just
now here , Col. W. W. Patterson , of
Kearney , Neb , who built the first
house in Creston , and laid out Kear
ney , and who has boon identified with
many of its improvements , and who
was v'ith Col , Thorp in Omaha and
Lincoln , four years ago , and who has
been engaged in various parts of the
United States for yeaw in the manu
facture of artificial stone , has just secured -
cured a patent on a new process for
manufacturing stone , much cheaper
and of greater utility than anything
heretofore known.
Tito principal features of this new
invention and wonder are a finish
with which ho coa s the stone where
a polish or tine surface is needed , as
fine and moro durable than marble ,
and in any color imaginable.
The uniting of thu stone into ono
solid stone , so that a house can bo
made of ono solid stone , as though
chiseled from the solid rock , collar ,
foundation , floor , walls and roof , and
the coating of inside and outside ,
finished with the same material , in
all the stylus fancy may oiliest , and
the same m.iy bo applied to the brick
walls of buildings , making them like
marble , and that will stand tire and
water , The colonel proposes to send
some inon into Nebraska to put
up houses , lay sidewalks , make hog
pens and grain houses , bank vaults ,
chimneys , stoves and stove linings ,
tiro-walls wherever they are needed ,
' mill-dams , collars in low ground or in
1 the water , churches and dwellings ,
and control the waters of the Miss
souri and keep them within bounds ,
and do it at a very low figure , just
what the sand cost. The colonel hat
made plenty of money foi
ether people , and some of tin
first business men of the nation an
taking hold of this and recognizinj
that it is really a gn-nt invention , am
us soon as the colonel has put hu
house in order hero ho will rot urn t <
Kearny to stay while ho livoa , aiu
already ho is constantly receiving up
plications for tenitory , which In
always refuses , paying hu will mnnagi
the business himself. Think of tire
proof , marble walls that don't cost an ;
moro than common plastering , am
then ask , "what next ? "
