Such was TIE CONDITION Of .hs country, as
to crops and specie baaaces,in 1897. Then,
by the natural coursc Of trade. specie was
going abroad; goiEg abroad, too, to settle
balances occssioned by commercial transac-
tions--to pay for the flood Of wheat that was
pouring in upon US. The suspension took
place in May.
Now look ut the state Of things to-day I;
here IN October, before he crops hare come to
market. These crops are enormous; they
will soon be available they must go forward !;
snd they are what the foreigner cannot do
without. We can stop feroisn impertatiops
at any moment, aud the indications are that
they are pretty effectually stopped for the
present; but the foreigners cannot stop bug
ing OF u.s. Cotton must go forward and this
article at this moment--croakers to the con-
trary otwithstanding-s just as good, il not
better, than so much specie. The grand sur
plus at the West is waiting 10 pay eastern
indebtedness and this will set the wheels Of
trade in motion.
Here are recuperative elements, all soon TO
be available, which bear no analogy whatever
with their condition in 1897, and which, too,
are beyond the reach of the furious bulls and
bears Of the stock board and even the rail-
roads, which have been a main cause Of the
present panic, are TO be most powerful in
strumentality to aid in the work Of recupera-
ti6n for along these highways are our varied
produsts destined to Gov TO their natural
markets, with celebrity unknown before.
Whoever brings these crops from the gra-
naries Of the West, to tha MARKETS of the
East will do public servicc 9apd when here,
they will come in aid Of the struggling mer-
camille community.
These are the cheering tidings in the busi-
ness horizon. They may not quite yet justify
the cry of LAND lIo! They are enough, how
ship can be kept afoat little longer she
will reach safe harbor.

from the Boston Post |
1887 and 1857.

Some still 20 back to the suspension of
1887, and say that the cases are, at bottom,
analogous, and that what then was unavoida-
ble is necessary now. We have remarked al
some length on the facts that prove them
not to be. Take an Illustration that comes
home to our present condition as TO specie
one drawn from the state Of the exchanges.
Nearly fortnight ago We remarked that in
place OF the millions of foreign indebtedness,
and OF the ruinous drain OF specie out of the
country IN 1887, the rate is such in 1857 that
il must bring specie from abroad. Look at
exchange to-day! 1t is at such rate ss TO
allow margin Of profit to import specie
from Europe OF between eight and nine per
cent; the trade is such that the specie mast
come; and 1t is safe to predict that heavy
Imports can begin within thirty days. while
our own product is pouring in constantly
from California. Need we point to the differ
ence between such IA state of things and the
state that existed at the date Of the 1887
suspension Then our exchanges were sgans st
us as to specie, and it was flowing out OF the
banks and out of the country.
But look at this alleged analogy in a point
of view IN which we have not considered il.
The suspension Of 1897 took place at time
when our crops ICsre all in had been all used
up. Indeed, all through the Sonth the plunt-
ers had even pledged the crops nat get sotcn-
MoSe Of lS3S-.tor means TO meet their engage
meHtS Let us recall fact or Two. Here is
quotation frem n. Orleans paper of 1887
just before the suspension: New Orleans,
April 5, 1887. Three hundred bales o! good
quality cotton were bought for remittance to
Liverpool, on Tuesday, for seven cents. In
llinds comfy, Mississippi, more than a thou
sand suits have been brought" TO show. the
state of the South We take the following from
the MissisSipidn, printed at Jackson, the seat
of Government Nearly three millions are
to he recovered in tho three counties OF
! Kinds, Madison and Yazoo aud proportion.
ally in other counties Of the State, by the
approaching terms of their respective courts"
And the West was as bad of as the South.
In fact, crops there had failed, and up to the
very day Of the 1887 suspension we we're in-
creasing our indebtedness to Europe by i'm
| porting wheat. A table of these importa-
lions is before us. down to April 10, few
days before the general suspension. This is
no less curious thanit is valuable:
