S in this pressure to liquidate, the weak j h go under and even the strong are dis-1 ir tressed. j p "You ask why this year the Jiquida-1 tions have been attended with so much ~( trouble. Well, in the first place, there j seems to be a general tendency in com- J =? ?>? - mercial affairs towards a condition j t wmcn precipitates panics at intervals : of about eight or tea years, the exact j 1' time being in each case determined by ! rr special causis. Last year we had it j ja close squeeze, and we should probably i in have escaped through this year if it; g< had not been for the speculation started j sc In the spring and kept alive through j u the summer by Congressional iegisla- w tion and the avowed policy of the treasury. The changes in the tariff tj, seemed'to afford a safe and legitimate ! U( basis for a speculative importation of j certain foreign goods, l iie silver pur- : ' ~ chase Act was intended to enlarge the | volume of currency, and was expected | in that way to raise all prices, but es- c" pccially the prices of agricultural pr^^-ducts. Hence inevitably that Act at tended to excite speculation in those is products, and in metallic silver. th ' Excessive imports 011 the one hand, of restricted exports on the other, pro-! th duced transfers of capital abroad, and 1by to that extent reduced the supply of i ioanaiue lunas in mis country, wua j which to liquidate the autumnal settle- ~ ment, while the volume of these settle- i1 inents was enlarged by the higher j securities from abroad with a corres- j ponding drain upon our loanable funds, j ,, and at a moment of great strain the failure of the Barings spread alarm cori among the merchants. Considering *01 the number and force of thedisturbinsr aS:l / .oneoe it mnct {\t> oviilnllf thsf. fhp I V.<tV*.OtO AC U1UOV VI.WW strain upon our people has been wonder fully well sustained, and that cool oili< courage has dom; much towards ward- *ur1 ing off actual panic. s|10 "The present situation has its reme- f-0* dy at hand. Speculative prices have ue been broken down. t;;e crops are com- m?j] ing forward, geld is being imported, 1 liquidations are progressing and the Mie pressure should now gradually pass away. There is nothing apparently c*ai that the Government or that Congress aPP can do to help the public now. Either ^ may very easily make matters worse nur by Ill-considered efforts. Unfortunate- . ^ ly the course of legislation has not been shaped in accordance with the UJ>' natural laws of governing- these mat- etlters. When the tariff was under dis- . cussion in Congress there appears to Prn have been no attention given to its j ca[j probable effect in aggravating the regu- j 11 lar "autumnal stringency in money. I otherwise other dates would have been I . fixed for its going into effect. Xo one, s!?! when the silver purchase law was be- ei?_ ing passed through the several stages ; ses-j of its enactment seemed to have at- imcj tempted a forecast of its effect in keeping back exports.

Last year the treasury was much more helpful mos because the" Secretary wisely resisted the early outcry lor money and made mor his disbursements just when they were ijan most effective. ou t "It is a dangerous thing", any way, for me uusmess ui tins gieut- cuiuai > tu ut; ^ ^ dependent upon the conduct oC Viie platj treasury.
