Doubtedly be predicated upon the commercial and industrial condition of our country, which we all know is that of depression, discouragement, and even dismay. During the past four years the catalogue of bankruptcy has been drawn out in long lines of disaster. The industries of the country were never, in the mem ory of this generation, so smitten with paralysis. Our iron and coal trades are at the last gasp, as regards profitable employment to the labor and capital invested in them. Railway defaults have multiplied beyond all precedent, and the stockholders of these corporations have been pinched as they never were before. Our lake and river and coastwise carrying trades are in no better plight.
