ed. With every increase of quantity, the value
of the money diminishes, and the price Of pro.
ducts relatively increases. In no long period
of time, it is perceived, as we have already ex-
planned, that money will buy more abroad than
at home. Then follows the export of specie,
and, as a consequence, the calling in of their
loans by the banks, and refusal to loan any
more. The result of such crisis we now be-
hold and lament.
Having thus demonstrated the evils Of the
present banking system, we naturally ask if
they are without remedy. In measure we
think they may be corrected. But this can
only be done by making the proportion of
specie to the whole liabilities of each bank so
great, that it will check improvident loans, by
prohibiting the issue of small notes, and re,
curing at short periods publication of the
condition of the banks, so that the public and
themselves may, at all times, know the basis
upon which they stand. If the system is to be
pursued at all, it must be upon principles that
will insure the public security.

THE NATIONAL ERA: WASHINGTON D. c, OCTOBER 49, 1857

There is yet time and opportunity to shun
the worst evils of 1887. Prudence, nerve, and
conduct, are necessary and such degree of
selfcontrol among business men, as will avoid
the worst evils of panic. An insane disposition
to realize every dollar in specie, at time when
the attainment of specie is almost impossible,
and the wanton and wilful discrediting of the
issues of really safe and solvent banks, are
measures which are calculated to aggravate,
rather than to alleviate, the present condition
of things. There is no great, universal, spe-
ci6c remedy, for existing evils but there is a
means for their alienation, to be found in econ
omy, prudence, sefcontrol, and good courage

DROWNED INA SINGULAR MANNER
At St. Jhhn, N. B., on Friday night, it
being very dark, man named Archibald
Brown walked off one of the wharves when
the tide was out. He groped his way
along in the mud, but instead of taking a
course that would extrica.e himself from
his unpleasant perdicaament, WANDERED
up among the spiles beneath the wharf,
where, of course, he became more bewilder-
ed than ever. The rising tide made him
conscious of his danger, and by shouts and
noise he was enabled to attract the notice
of persons passing in the vicinity, but too
late for succor. As the tide rose, be climb
ed to the top of the spiles, and through a
small aperature in the wharf sufficient to
admit one of his arms, he was enabled to
inform them of his situation. His position
and feelings can lie imagined when the wa
ter was every moment rising around him,
and he could not be extricated. He shook
hands with his friends, passed through the
hole all the money and valuables he had
about his person, and just as the water was
closing over him, after giving some direc-
tions concerning his family, he bid his
friends good bye, and the gurgling water
beneath announced that all was over. His
body was recovered when the tide receed-
ed. Mr.. Brown was highly respected
He leaves family and many friends.

DELEGArEs-We have no provisions at
present, and what are we to do? Many
will be almost starved to death before Mon
day if there is nothing done towards relief
by that time. Matters will be worse than
they were in 1887, for the people will be
perishing; and we cannot say whether the
people can refrain from open violence lon
ger than that time.
MAYoR-I wish you all to be quiet, for
otherwise there may be nothing done.
DELEGATEs-We will exert ourselves to
keep the people quiet.
MAYoR--I feel very glad to hear you
say that you will exert yourselves to keep
the people quiet, and I will feel very much
obliged by your keeping that promise.
