and bear the burden we have more easily. The
present contraction in the money market will have
GOOD enect, BY preventing the formation Of new
projects caiculated to compete with many now in
course Of completion. In the event of any let up in
the present strilgency, there will be danger of
another expansion Greater than that we have had,
and the result will not be so beneficial It will be
as fatal as relapses usually are. There is nothing so
favorable to the preservation of healthy state of
financial and commercial affairs as occasional checks
and contmctons and we are at times disposed to do
all in our power to bring about this purifying purg
ing process. II is the principle of prevention, in
stead Of the science Of cure. There is very little
danger in the first while the last may fail in times
of the greatest need. If nanciers spectators, and
the mercantile classes generally would keep in mind
the sure progress from certain causes to certain ef
fects, they would not be subjected to the periodical
revusions which heretofore have been so disastrous
if they would bear in mind the plain fact, that long
period Of extravaganza and speculation, no matter
upon what basis it may be conducted is sure to lead
to reaction, which usually ends in convulsion
