The MONETARY CRIsIs-DIsTREss AT
THE NoRTH.-If the effects Of the present
crisis were confined to the demolition OF
insolvent railroad companies, rotten banks
and swindling stockholders throughout
the country, it might be regarded rather as
blessing than otherwise and, as it is, it
will be beneficial in some respects, for it
Will inaugurate proper system Of ecouo-
my, and render extravacsnce less fashion
able. But 1t has produced one serious
evil, which is, indeed, deplorable, and
which continues to spread with fearful
rapidity. By the cessation of work in the
Northern factories, and in almost all
branches of trade, thousands of persons
have been and are being thrown out of
employment, and starvation is already
staring them in the face Luxuries can
easily be dispensed with but when star
walton comes upon families then, indeed,
the trial is terrible. Ii Is estimated that
the number of persons who will be unem-
ployed during the present winter in the
Northern cities viii be 200, 900, and these
would probably represent 4 million Of
mouths that will be crying for breed.
Already ''huugcr meetings" are being
held IN New York and Philadelphia, and
troops have been called out to pr-Eerye or
