market from the pressure Of constant
demand for money for the railroads.
On the other hand, when we come
to look at the real interest of the coun
try, our agriculture, corn and cotton
our great manufacturers Of the East
and Middle States-our shipping inter
ests, our foreign trade-we find moth
ing save temporary cause Of embar
rassment. A few weeks ago every
one was talking of the splendid pros
poets Of the country. The harvests
would be immense farmers would
close the year with well-filled purses
the merchants would realized unpre
cedented profits; railroads would be
largely enhanced in value and the
country, filled with wealth, would start
forward with accelerated pace on its
grand career of irresistible enterprise
and unexampled power. But, presto, a
change comes over the spirit of the
public dream. A faithlessly managed
company, which has extended its finan-
cial transactions beyond it's financial
means, suspends the payment Of it's
obligations. The whole financial world
is panic-stricken. Men run about ask
ing "what is coming next?" One or
two specializing brokers, in whom no.
body aught ever to have had conf
dence, announces that they too are
crushed, and the financial world mag
inc that a terrible disaster has occur
red.
If men would cultivate the habit of
thinking for Observation-Disclosures
ing for themselves, and acting on their
own judgment with calm sclfpos-
session, many grave disasters would
be avoided in the financial world, as
well as in the material. A.B.F.H.

The stock gamblers in Wall street,
taking advantage of the bankruptcy
of few bogus concerns, have been
using their best indeavors to create a
panic in the financial world. News.
papers and letter-writers take up the
cry and straightway all the world is
going to ruin. Now what are the facts!
The stocks of several railway com.
panies--to wit, the Illinois Central,
which has just practiced perfect snap
game with its stockholders; the Eric
and Michigan Southern the Cleveland
and Toledo; the New York Central,
which is in better position only mas
much as it has lighter debt and
more stock in proportion the Read
ing, which has been paying heavy
dividends and borrowing money every
year, and several other stocks of a like
character and value, have declined
from ten to twenty per cent within the
past month or so. One specializing
bank-the Ohio Life and Trust Com
pany--about whose affairs there hangs
a singular degree of mystery, and an
other bank, the Mechanics Banking
Association, which has been blunder-
ingly mismanaged for years, together
with few rotten concerns throughout
the country, have suspended payment.
What the Ohio concern may pay we
know not; but the others will proba-
bly, cause their creditors no loss. FL
nally, few merchants, whose liabili-
ties are probably Of ancient date, one
or two other trades, one manufacturer
Of railway supplies, whose pockets are
full of railway paper, and perhaps here
and there another-have failed. We
do not speak Of the stockholders who
have failed, because their solvency and
insolvency are really matters Of so
much uncertainty and so little inter-
est both to tho public and themselves
that it is not worth while dwelling on
them.
This, then, is the full catalogue of
our calamities. 1t appears to be told
in a single sentencc--thc breakage Of
a few of the leading railway monopo-
lies, and Of persons connected with
them. But this is neither an unexpect-
ed event nor one to be deeply lament
ed. 1t will hurt no one but the few
persons who arc stockholders, and who,
we trust have in most instances secur-
ed themselves from loss by early pur-
chases of land which the construction
of the road has Occupied in value.
And it will be an unmixed benefit to
the roads, to the borrowing public, to
travellers, and to consumers Of west
ern produce. 1t will cheaper provis-
ions and bread. 1t will, by reducing
