The last financial epidemic is "the
oil fever, or more emphatically, "Pc-
troleum on the Brain" Those who
are not content with moderate gains
are exposed to severe attacks of this
malady. 1t spares no age and no con
dition in life A few constitutions are
hardy enough to survive the worst at
tacks of the disease; but to the great
majority the results of the infection
are to greater or less extent disas-
trous.
1t is difficult for persons over-anxi-
Gus to get gain to learn wisdom from
experience. There was the morus
multicaulis excitement which victim
lied many venturesome SPECTATOR.
There was the California Gold Fever
which made many man bankrupt in
property and happiness. And the
lesson was time and again forced
home upon every thoughtful man that
the same amount of persevering dill
gence, bestowed IN the leeitiinaat g ellt tn
nels of business, or the same amount
of self-denial, would have placed them
above pecuniary difficulty
Ali these considerations have no
effect. The warnings of past bitter
experience are disregarded and the
same disease which ragged heretofore
in the excitements referred to, has
broken out anew in q more oleaginous
form. The new fever for speculation
seems destined to become as wide
spread as any other previous fnaucia
contagion.
The discovery of oil wells in Goa
regions has started into existence thu
last gigantic speculation excitement
Every man is on the alert to "strik,
lie" Companies are formed III almost
every city, and agents are scattered
throughout the country. Many o
them are gross swindling concerns
perhaps two thirds of them are in tn
hands of roguish and designing men
This specializing business is alread
over-done. There are hundre
blanks to one prize in this mammot
lottery; and many persons invest i
the hope that they can gain the priz'
Inasmuch as it may be proper
give advice in such matter, we woul
say without hesitation that it woul
be better to shun this Oil Fever spec
ulation as one would avoid the yello
fever or the deadly plague. Thos
who have surplus funds on han
would do well to turn deaf ear I
speculation of all sorts and invel
them in great national loans.
