TWO STALWART LIES.
Whenever a Mississippi man tells a lie it!
is generally robust and healthy and can
walk ; but the moment a Georgian hears it,!
so great is the rivalry between the two
States, he girds up his loins and unloads a j
"whopper" that is so strong it has ribs and i
a backbone and breathes. Not long ago a J
man living near Ellsville, Miss., said that i
the cold wave in January swept over that
State so quickly that the ponds in the
swamps were frozen stiff before the snakes
living in them could duck their heads under
the water. He further remarked that he
amused himself for a whole clay by walking |
on the ponds and kicking otF the heads of
the snakes which stuck up out of the ice.
This story traveled from one place to another
until it reached Georgia, where for a time
it?to use the language of the prize ring?
knocked out everything it met; but finally
a noble Georgian invented a muscular lie
that climbed on the collar of the Mississippi
prodigy and literally pulverized and mashed
it into the earth.
The Georgian said that while chasing a fox
across an abandoned cotton field his horse
and himself fell into an old well about 70 feet
deep. The fall killed the horse instantly,
but he escaped without injury, and at once
commenced looking around for a way to
reach the surface of the ground. To his dismay
he discovered that it was impossible for
him to get out by climbing the steep walls of
earth that shut him in, and he commenced
howling for help at the top of his voice, but
none came. On the morning of the second
day the stench from the carcass of his horse
was stifling, and he made up his mind to
suffer a horrible death, when he noticed a
number of buzzards hovering about the top
of the well. Finally the birds alighted in
the well, and a bright idea flashed through
his braiu, and he determined to make the
buzzards bear him up to the ground above.
As they settled on the carcass of the horse
he seized them by the legs until he had three
of the buzzards firmly grasped in each hand,
when he gave them a violent "shew," and
they flew up, carrying him with them ; but
they did not stop when they got out of the
well, but continued to soar upward until he
was horrified to find that he was fifty yards
above the surface of the earth. Suddenly,
however, it occurred to him to release one
buzzard from each hand. This he did, and
to his great joy his weight dragged the remaining
buzzards slowly down until ho was
safely landed on terra firma, when he at once
dropped on his hands and knees and returned
thanks in prayer.
When the story of the Georgia fox hunter
reached the ears of the Mississippi man who
launched the cold weather lie, it made him
feel so utterly mean and worthless that he
sold out and went to Texas.
How Pat Converted his Fellow-Convicts.?Yesterday
it was the good fortune
of a reporter of this paper to meet a priest
who is freouentlv called to the charity hos
pital, and who has accomplished much good
in reforming the unfortunate people so often
found in that institution. During the conversation
the reverend father told numerous
amusing anecdotes of his personal experiences,
and a funny story about a priest in
Ireland who was laboring to get a number
of convicts to join the Catholic church. It
seems that seven men were sentenced to be
transported, and among them was an Irishman
convicted of counterfeiting. According
to the custom of the country, the convicts
were allowed to choose any religion
they desired to adopt, and the Irishman
made up his mind that they should all become
Catholics. Accordingly, when they
assembled in the prison yard the subject of
religion was brought up by the Irishman,
who said: "Boys, we have all been bad
together, we have made lots of money and
spent it, and now since we all have to join
the church there is no reason why we should
be separated. I now propose that we
toss a ha'penny and shape our course on the
result. If a harp comes up we will be Catholics,
and if a queen shows on top we will
be Protestants."
"Agreed," said the convicts, and Pat tossed
the ha'penny and the harp won.
Accordingly, they all became Catholics,
and just before their departure the parish
priest approached Pat and asked him how
he managed to convert his fellow convicts.
"Oh, easy enough," replied Pat, and then
he told the story of the ha'penny.
"Did vou risk vour immortal soul on the
turning of a penny ?" exclaimed the priest
in holy horror.
"Indeed I did not," replied Pat; "that
ha'penny had a harp on both sides. I made
it myself."?New Orleans Times-Democrat.
A Reflection.?"What's become of Parson
Jenks, who came out here to preach ?"
asked a friend of a Dakota man.
"Well, you see, he made a sort of a bad
break and we just firmly passed him along to
some other community. We didn't like his
style somehow."
"Why, I'm surprised at that; he was considered
a very able aud earnest worker
down in our country."
"Don't know anything about that, but we
found it necessary to help him out #of the
neighborhood on a rail."
"I am astonished ! You did a great injustice
to a worthy man, I am certain.
What were the charges against him ?"
"Why, in his sermon, one Sunday, he got
to goin' on about the Holy Land, and said
they could raise bigger wheat over there
than we could in Dakota, and then went on
to quote something that I don't believe was
ever in the Bible, about the seed falling in
some particular kind of soil, and increasing
a hundred fold. Just as soon as he said it I
and Deacon Penny rose right up and went
out and got a rail, and Deacon Jones and the
members of the choir brought the reverend
gentleman and set him on. I tell you no
man can preach to us who goes to reflecting
on Dakoto's wheat raising."?Estelline Bell.
How the Doctor Laid for Him.?The
late Dr. C., of Ashtabula, used in the early
days to take long rides through the wilds of
Ohio. One day he stopped at an old-fashioned
tavern and called for dinner.
Among the homespun dainties was a glass
of whisky beside his plate which he did not
trouble. After dinner, when paying his bill,
the landlord said :
"Twenty-five cents for whisky."
"Which I did not touch, and never do,"
said the Doctor.
"Well, it was there, and you could have
had it," replied the landlord.
The doctor said no more, paid his bill and
left.
Calling again not long after, it was noticed
that the doctor,- upon sitting down to
to dine, placed his medicine case upon the
table. However, nothing was said at the
time.
When he went to pay his bill he brought
in $1 for medicine and advice.
"But I have had no medicine," said mine
host.
"Very well," replied the doctor, "it was on
the table, and you could have had it; and I
also gave you good advice all the while I
was at the table."
The nonplused host squared accounts.
Effective Irish Wit.?A few weeks
since, an Irishman, direct from the old country,
called upon a well-known Bostonian,
presenting letters of introduction from mutual
friends in England.
The Bostonian received him very cordially
and proffered a glass of brandy, which
the Irishman drank with a relish.
After some further conversation, the for
eigner said :
"Well, Misther X., Oi'm very much pleased
wid the new couuthry. Its a foine place.
When I go hack I'll tell ine friends what a
foine land it is, and what foine gintlemen ye
have in it. I'll tell them how foinely ye have
treated inc; how you gave me two glasses
of foine old brandy?"
"But," broke in the amused host, "I have
not given you but one."
"O, well, you wouldn't make a liar of me
to me friends. That Oi know."
Another glass was forthcoming a once.
Painfully Ixuorkkct.?"I sec a mistake

until the fumes have disappeared.
SAVING MANURE.
Manure lies at the bottom of successful
farming in all the older States. Large crops
require heavy manuring. Every farmer
must make all the manure possible and keep
it in good condition until it can be applied to
the land. See that the stock have plenty of
bedding and that the stalls are cleaned as often
as necessary and never throw it into a pile
in the corner of the fence to be leached
away by the rain. If it is necessary to stow
away the manure for future use, place it under
a shed. But the best plan, where it can
j be practiced, is to take the manure directly
from the stable to the field. No farmer can
allbrd to buy fertilizers until he has made
use of all he has made at home. So take
care of your manure, for if you expect the
land to feed you, the land must be well fed
first.
SILO AM) SILAGE.
The silo is simply an air-tight, water-tight
box for preserving green food for winter use.
It must not only protect against air, but also
against frost.
The pits and stone silos that were first
used have disappeared, and the wooden silo
has taken their places. With the wooden
silo it is not necessary to place it underground.
It can be placed in the barnyard
if there is room for it. In selecting a place
for your silo, remember that silage is heavy
to handle and feeding is done twice a day,
so place it as near your stock as possible.
There is no objection to a silo as small as
ten feet square, provided it issixtecn or eighteen
feet deep, so as to overcome the friction
of the sides, which is as great in a small
silo as a large one. The deeper the silo, the
better the silage will settle, and the better :t
will keep. The damp silage will soon rot
the lining unless it is well painted with gas
tar. Put a good roof on and board up the
gables, leaving a window with shutter for ventilation.
This should be closed in very cold
weather and opeued on pleasant days, or the
steam from the silage will decay the roof.
At first it was thought that drilled corn
was better for silage than hilled corn, but as
drilled corn does not mature many ears, it
does not make as good silage as hilled corn,
j The crop should be cut when most of the
; ears are glazed, run through an ensilage or
J hay cutter, and tramped into the.silo. Have a
good man in the silo to do the packing, for
I if this is half done the silage will damage
1 around the walls. It is only necessary to
tramp a space about four feet around the
sides, as the middle will settle of its own
weight. Beyond question corn is the most
profitable crop for silage. It is a very sure
crop. It grows very rapidly and we get a
large yield per acre. From twelve to thirty
tons have been grown on an acre. Clover
makes the best silage, but the land of this
section is too poor to give a heavy crop, and
some years it is a complete failure. As
peas are a very sure crop and give a large
yield per acre, they would be a good substitute
for clover. Corn is a carbonaceous
food and peas are nitrogenous, so the two
combined in the silo would form a balanced
I ration and be better than either corn or
I peas alone. To feed silage successfully we
; must have a good warm stable, for it is a
green succulent food and will not give success
if fed in the open lot. Neither should it
be fed without some dry fodder, but if there
is plenty of ears in the silage do not feed
corn meal, but give some cotton seed or
cotton seed meal. Cows fed upon this ration,
j will look as sleek and fast as if on June pasture.

liy experiments it has been found that the
I stalk contains as much food as the leaves
and ear. If this is so, look what an cnor!
mous (pianitity of food has been wasted
; for so many years on almost all Southern
, j farms; but until the discovery of the silo
[ these stalks could not be used for feed, for
j when dry they are so hard that stock will
; not eat them. This is where the silo comes
j in and saves this enormous waste and enables
you to feed more stock and do it better,
i Any farmer handy with tools can construct
his silo himself, and it will not cost
i him over 130 cents per ton capacity. Silage is
'; no experiment. It is in general use throughout
the North and West, and where it has
been tried intelligently in the South, it has
pl*oved successful.
Planning Aiihad.?The man who suc1;
ceeds in any business is one who carefully
| exercises forethought in regard to future
I operations, lie looks ahead as far as may
be determined beforehand, sees the result
I likely to be attained by a certain course of
action. This is true of all business success!
fully carried on. Wise calculators count up
; the cost of operations about to be entered
upon and shape their course accordingly,
i taking in all the bearing and probable future
j effects of contingencies which may affect the
r: main results.
The business of farming calls for as much
forethought and planning as any in which
. man can he engaged. The farmer who has
risen to forehandedness in tilling his acres is
one who counted the cost and made close
. calculations on all matters that appertain to
L i the farm.
, ; No man will meet with satisfying success
. on the farm who does not think beforehand
what is the best way to do it. More failures
, occur?failures because indifferent success is
.; attained where nothing hut the grossest
: blundering could make a failure?from this
,' cause of miscalculation or no calculation, as
, regards future results of present operations,
! | than from any other.

to luck and the operations of nature in
, | giving good or poor seasons. Working with"*

without knowledge as to the cost, and stock

location and market and its requirements in
summer pastures and winter feeding, are at

to require hut little reflection on the part of
those pursuing such a course to enable
them to see it.

IS 111, 1837, 1857, 187.1 IJJ
The Many DcNlruUioiis AVIiicli Followed i ii
in Their Wake. c;
Many financial crises have occurred in 1 e
the United States during the century and j K
a few years over its existence. Four of I c
them?those of 1819, 1S37, 18">7 and 1873?jc
will be mentioned in detail here, and their i11
causes as well as their consequences set
forth. These were the most extensive and e
disastrous industrial commercial convulsions ,
which the country has known, the ill-effects f
in each case being felt for several years. The
gold bubble of "Black Friday," in 1S<!9, will
..lort hn tmwlin.l nnnn mid the reasons for it 11
"1?I ?
and the effects which sprung from it noted. I
In the popular mind the eight years (1817- s
25) of Monroe in the presidency are memorable
merely for the "era of good feeling,"
the passage of the Missouri compromise and ^
the promulgation of the so-called Monroe ,
doctrine. It was notable also for another
event, the occurrence of the most extensive C(
and serious business disturbance which the
country had known along to that time. As P
the Missouri compromise of 1820 was the c.
first of the scries of great slavery dickers
and deals which ended with the concessions &
of 1850, so the panic of 1S10 may be consid- ll.
ercd the first of the series of extended financial
convulsions, the latest of which began P
in 1873. Wild and extended speculation
was one of the immediate causes of the business
disaster which set in in 1819, and an-!
other was the heavy merchandise importa- 0
tions from Europe, and especially from Eng- 0
land, which the close of the war of 1812-15 0
precipitated on the country. The specula- ^
tion starte.fl with the reorganization of the ^
United States Bank in 1817, which materi- ^
ally improved the facilities for business cred- ^
its. Mismanagement on the part of some
of the high officials of this second United i*
States Bank, and the favors which it granted J
to unscrupulous borrowers, gave an impetus I '
to speculation such as had never been known
before, brought the bank into trouble early 1
in its career, and obliged it to curtail its )
credits and call in many of its loans. The 1
sneenlators who had been "working" the s
institution in their own interests were thus ^
brought up with a "short turn," and ageneral
collapse in the fictitious values which
their wild operations had caused was pre- .
cipitatcd. The bank in this way saved itself, '
and ultimately put the business of the country
on a solid basis again, but for two or ^
three years the trade prostration was serious ^
and widespread and great distress was oc- ^
casioned. I
The tarifTs connection with the panic of *
1819 came around in this way: About the
time of the outbreak of the war with Eng- ^
land in 1812, congress, as a war measure, .
doubled the rates of all existing duties. This ;
law remained in operation about four years, j
Imports practically ceased under this law |
and the risks which the war caused to com- j
merce, and the capital of the country turned j
at once to manufacturing, as its best avenue j
for profit. The shipping interest was crip- j1
pled by the war and the legislation hamper-1
ing foreign commerce, and a large part of
the money invested in this interest was di-1 ?
verted to other channels, but chiefly to j ?
manufacturing. The close of the war, and i
the expiration a little later of the war tariff, j j
found the country with a larger number of! j
factories than it could have gained in three | ,
or four times that period in any other con-1 ^
dition, and the factories were able to go r
a long way toward fully supplying the j ^
country with commodities in their line. I
When the restraints against foreign com- j
merce were removed the country was flood- j
ed with cheaper, and, doubtless better goods, j
from England, and the domestic manufac- j
turer found a competition he could not j
cope with on existing terms. Factories began
to close at once, and eventually this, *
produced the condition of uncertainty and I
[ depression which the collapse of speculation '
i before mentioned intensified into panic and
transformed into prolonged financial and
industrial prostration. j
Business men of all kinds adjusted themselves
to the new conditions, however, as (
well as they could, and the wise action of the ,
United States bank, already alluded to, at :
length restored confidence, while the tariffi
j of 1842 afforded the manufacturers reasona- ^
ble protection in the directions in which I
1 they needed it.

"I leave this great country prosperous j j
: and happy," said Jackson in a farewell ad-11
! dress about the time he left the presidency j
j in the early part of 1837. Appearances
were delusive, however. Scarcely had Jack-; j
'son's successor, Van Buren, entered the .
White House, when one of the most wide- j
] spread and disastrous financial convulsions ,
which the United States has ever known ,
set in. f
The panic of 1837 was more extensive | (
and serious than that of 1819. The country j
was considerable more populous, and itsj^
business interest were far more diverse and 1 <
important. About 9,900,000 inhabitants \ j
were in the country when the crush of 1819 t
set in, and 18,000,000 were here when the {
convulsion of 1887 look place. The differ- j
euce in the volume of business between the j (
two-dates cannot be so readily figured out,! (
but it was enormous. | ]
About the time that Van Buren entered J j
upon his duties, a large business house in ! t
j New Orleans failed. This was the begin- L
| ning of the panic of 1837. The financial ,
storm which had been gathering during the j |
whole of the Jackson administration now .
burst forth with terrible fury. Loans wcio j i.
called in by the banks, bank circulation was i
contracted, and business men of the highest i
standing in the community, being denied',
accommodation by the financial institutions, ,
! were unable to meet their debts. Banks too, s
! went down in the tempest. Business houses ,
which had successfully weathered many ,
financial gales were wrecked. All sorts of I (
j property immediately and immensely tic- j v
clined in values. Suddenly everybody | (
seemed to be insolvent. Confidence vanish- j
cd. Nobody would trust anybody. Un- j t
reasoning terror seized almost the entire L
community. Business came to a standstill, i,
!l
In New York city alone in March and 1
April, 1837, the failures reached the enor- j \
mous sum of $100,009,990. In New Orleans (
in the same time they aggregated $1)0,000,000. \
Other business centers suffered severelv also, t
i All the hunks in New York suspended specie i c
payments, and the legislature of that State r
authorized the suspension to continue for one t
year. Hanks in other cities followed the ex- t
'ample of those in new York, and specie vir- i
: tually disappeared from circulation. F.ven ' >i
! the I'nited States government had the great- <
lest ditlieulty to obtain gold and silver, and j a
it was compelled to pay the army and navy
| in paper money, which, though worth its
face at the time of payment, might he im- jt
' mensely reduced in value tomorrow. Facto- t
| ries and business enterprises of most sorts'*
stopped altogethc r or were run on quarter or [
half time, and great numbers of employees t
were thrown out of work. t
A deputation of merchants and bankers ij
from New York called on President Vaii!t
Huren in May, *18:57, two months after liejr
gained ollice, and appealed to him to sum- i i
moil an extra session of congress to provide ; t
means of relief from the prevailing distress. (
; Congress was called to assemble on Septemer 1
1 S, but beyond the passage of a bill authorizing >
the issue of $10,000,000 in treasury notes it
(lid very little of what (he people demanded ]
J or what Van Huron desired. In the regular ]
session, however, congress passed an inde-1 (
pendent treasury bill, which Van Huron f
| recommended, providing a special receptacle |
for the money of the government, which had j t
previously been deposited in a few banks .
called, by the government's foes, '-pet I
I banks." Out of this law developed the ' (
treasury and sub-treasuries, the latter of H
which arc situated in the chief cities. In !
Tyler's presidency the independent treasury ]
i scheme was repealed, but under Polk it was'.
' re-enacted. r

"Without a dollar ot national debt," said j
i ex-President John Quincy Adams, then iii|(
the early part of his long and illustrious ser-11
vice in the house of reprentatives, "we are <
in the midst of national bankruptcy." This i
was the actual situation in 1SIJ7. All the !t
| governments obligations had been met, and j 1
a large surplus had been accumulated, t
Part of this had been distributed among the j
States in proportion to their number of representatives
in the house. This was deemed t
e the best way of getting rid of the surplus,
hii'h nobody supposed at the time that the
overnmeiit would ever need again.
These are the chief causes of the panic of
S:t7 : 1. Congress, during Jackson's adminitration,
refused to renew the charter of
lie I'niled States bank, and this called into
xistcncc a large number of wild-eat banks
nd put hundreds of millions of dollars in
ice value of irredeemable currency in cirulation.
2. This "cheap" money encourged
speculation, which took the form of
lvcstment in wild lands, and which was
arried on to an extraordinary and insane
xtent. 3. The government called in the
old and silver which it had deposited in
ertain Slate hanks (the "pet" banks), which
rippled these institutions. 4. The governlent
also refused to sell any more public
mds except for specie. The order to this
fleet was sent by the so-called specie circuir
to the various government land agents,
'hese circumstances created the crisis. The
ank notes went into disuse at once when
lie government refused to take them ; busiess
men could neither collect debts nor
ay them; speculation stopped, and the
mash came.
In 1857 the third of the great financial
rises occurred. This was a stormy period,
'he passage, of the Kansas-Nebraska bills
liree years earlier had repealed the Missouri
ompromise, and thrown the territories open
3 slavery; the sections were beginning to
repare themselves for the desperate politial
struggle which was to occur at the polls
liree years later, and the shadow of the
reater and fiercer struggle lying beyond was
1 ready looming up. But the financial situalon
drew men's thoughts away from coming
olitical combats and concentrated them on
he immediate danger.
The panic of 1857 was ushered in by the
lilure of the Ohio Life and Trust company,
f Cincinnati, which occurred on August 24
f that year. This was in the first year
f the Buchanan administration, as the heinning
of the panic of 1.837 had been in
he first year of the administration of
'an Buren. The liabilities of the Ohio
iifc and Trust company were over $7,000,00.
It was an institution whose credit
nd prestige stood especially high. When
t fell it brought hanks and business
louses in different parts of the country
lown with it. Several banks in Philadclthia
succumbed soon to the storm, runs
I'cre made on hanks in the principal cities
11 the various States, and suspensions of
pccie payments became general, though not
[iiite universal. Factories and other large
usincss enterprises stopped work, and imnense
numbers of people were thrown out
if employment. A wide-spread prostration
n business set in. For a year or I hereabouts
he scenes of 1837 were repeated. The rally
ccurred quicker, however, than it did from
he panic of 1837, for most of the strong
tanks resumed specie payments within six
nonths after the crash set in, hut it was
8G0 before all the traces of the financial
creek were removed.
The principal causes of the financial con ulsion
of 1857 were: 1. Wild speculation
n lands. 2. Excessive building of railroads.
I. Overproduction in most lines of manufacurcd
goods. 4. Inflated prices on the genial
articles of necessity anil on many articles
>f luxury. These were the immediate
:auses. The ultimate cause was the discoviry
of gold in California.
The finding of the California gold fields
vas one of the great events of the first half
?f the Nineteenth century. It stimulated
rade not only in the United States, hut in
:very civilized land, and exerted an influiiice
on the commerce, industry and social
ife of the world, which is felt to this day.
ts first effect, however, in this country was
ar from beneficent. It started an insane
peculation, and led to the general trade exesses
pointed out in the preceding paragraph,
vhich, in the reaction that was inevitable,
esulted in disaster in 1857 and 1S58.
Everybody supposed lie was going to get
icli in n hurry, and consequently ne put
lighly exaggerated prices on everything he
lad to sell, and the same hopeful feeling led
urn to pay without si murmur excessive
sriccs for the things he had to buy. Lands
vere bought with the expectation of being
sold next day at a large increase. Railroads
vere constructed on the assumption that the
rcinemlous expansion in population and
vealth hoped for would enable them to pay
mmensc dividends sit once, while in reality
nany of these roads were beyond the needs
>f the country for the next dozen years.
The same buoyant spirit led to the overproluetion
in all kinds of goods. Everybody
vas going to be wealthy anyhow, and thereore
everything which was made would find
eady purchasers at high prices. The awakining
from this dream wsis rude, but it was
isilutary, and business as well as men's
dans and expectations eventually adjusted
Jiemselvcs to the normal conditions.
"Black Friday," which came came in 1SG1),
s the next on the list of monetary disturbtnccs.
This affair, however, was a mere
lurry, and, though immense sums of money
vere made and lost by it, and Wall street
vas demoralized for several days, yet its ef
eels on general business were only irunsiciu
:onipared with those of 18H7 and 1873.
"Jim Fi.sk,who was killed two or tliree
rears later by Edward S. Stokes, and Jay
Jould were the big figures which organized
lie "Black Friday" deal. Their object was
o corner the gold market and force gold up
.0 180. Gold was then a commodity, and was
>ought and sold like ordinary merchandise
>r like stocks. It was at a premium in our
mrrency, and remained so until January 1,
1ST!), when specie payments were resumed
jylhe government. The conspirators con.rolled,
or imagined they controlled, nearly
ill the gold held in private hands, and got it
it about 131. By manipulation they at
englh sent it up to loO. This was the price
it which it stood on the morning of Friday,
September 24, 180!)?"Black Friday."
Everybody felt that the corner could not
)e broken unless the government sold gold,
vhile the clique boasted that the governnent
was on its side. The prices which
itarted at lot) on this memorable Friday,
vere slowly but steadily forced up to 102,
vhile bulletins posted in every city in the
iountry showed the advances. Such excite
ncnt was never seen in me country at any
>tlicr time as was shown on that day.
Hut the culminating point was reached when
he quotation touched 102. Unknown to the
ouspirators, the treasury had come to the
eseue. At the I(?2 hid, SI,000,000 was sold
o the clique, and the prices went down to
(51. At that rate and at 100, other sums
vcrc sold and all by the same individual.
Consternation seized the clique, and they, as
veil as the onlookers began to realize that
his individual, who stood calm in the midst
?f this convulsion, must have measureless
esources at his hack. Suddenly his identiy
was divined. Mike lightning word went
hrough the exchange, "The treasury is sellug
!" Scorces of operators rushed to sell,
md in a few minutes the quotation had
Iropped to 1 The gold bubble had burst,
md "Black Friday" passed into history.
Next on the list of the country's financial
lonvulsions, and the latest of all of them
bus far, was that of 1873. Marly in that
'ear a general feeling of insecurity began to
?e felt in business circles. Banks curtailed
heir loans and exercised greater discriminaion
in bestowing their favors. Shrewd busncss
men, too, shortened their periods of
rcdit. The knowing ones on all sides hetan
to prepare for the financial tornado which
hey felt to be impending. And yet when
he storm did come, it may be said to have
aken the country by surprise.
In September the crash came. On the
!th (lay of that month tiie -New 1 oik r*ecumy
mil Warehouse company sank under its
oad of Missouri, Kansas and Texas ; on the
13th, Daniel Drew's linn went down with
,'anada Southern, and on the 17th, the fateill
17th of September, the great hanking
louse of Jay Cooke it Co. was buried under
he weight of Northern Pacific, and the
?anic of 1S73 was "on." Then banking and
nisiness concerns on all sides collapsed, and
he New York Stock Exchange put up its
butters for the time being.
In the remainder of 1873 the scenes ol calamity
witnessed in 1S37 and 1857 were relented.
Hanks suspended payments tempoarily
throughout the greater part of the
ountry, and many of them were wrecked
lermanently. Factories suspended or reiuccd
the hours of labor, large numbers of
itnployes were thrown out of work, and the
listress was widespread and serious. The
'fleets of the panic lasted until about the
niddle of 1S77, or about a year and a half
icfore the resumption by the government of
lie specie payments, which had been susicndcd
in the early part of the civil war.
The principal causes for the panic of 1S73
nay be broadly summarized thus: 1. The
inflated and fluctuating currency. 2. Large
exports of gold. 8. Excessive railway lniild!
ing. 4. Heavy speculation in real estate and
, other directions.
j lu 187:5. and along to the heginningof 18714,
gold was merchandise, and was bought and
Isold like other merchandise or property dealt
I in on the commercial exchanges, and was
1 subject to rapid fluctuations in value. For
: many years too, the exports of'gold largely exI
ceeded the imports, in response to an adverse
balance of trade and other causes. Railway
building in the West during that era had
gone beyond the demands of business for
half a do/en or half a score of years to
come. Over $1,000,000,000 was sunk in
1871, 1872 and the first half of 1878 in railj
way building which, for the time being, was
j almost a dead loss, this immense sum of
| money being withdrawn for years from the
[ channels of commerce, to the great injury
j of all branches of business. The chief rail
road projected at the time was the Northern
Pacific, which wrecked Jay Cooke. The
speculation in houses and lands was not as exj
tensive as was the railway building, but it
I helped to expend the bubble of fictitious|
values whose eallapse spread demoralization
[ and ruin on sides.
