Business men traded extensively on credit,
and in many cases gave up honest indus
try for wild speculation. This unhealthy
state Of things was necessarily followed
be revulsion, which took place shortly
after Mr.. Van Buten became President, in
1887. The banks of New York and New
Orleans suspended specie payments; that
is, refused to redeem their notes with
gold and silver, and their example was
followed throughout the country. Several
hundred mercantile houses Immediately
stopped payment, aud in New Orleans
alone failures to the amount of twenty
seven million dollars took place within
two days. II appears that an order known
as the ''specie circular" had been issued
by Jackson, requiring all payments 70 the
government 70 be made in gold and sill
yer. and, it was claimed, large quantities
Of specie we're thus kept out Of circula-
ton. A committee Of New York Mer-
chants petitioned President Van Buren,
TO yescind the circular. He refused,
but called an extra session Of Congress.
That body took measures to protect the
government from embarrassment, but
could do little 70 relieve she prevalent
distress. Now. here was crisis in COM
mercial and monetary affairs chat
was Brought on by causes similar
to those which produced the presen. one,
and that, too. under Democratic admin.
istration and system o! banking that is
now asked for by the opponents of cus
present system. IN the crisis Of 1897 the I
whole country was convuised, and
nothing but the foresight and honesty OF |
jackson prevented the national treasury
from being drained at that time AL
classes OF people then suffered because of !
the depreciation Of bank notes, and the !
country was long time recovering from !
the consequent stagnstion Of business
The Independent treasury system Of that
day was certainly an improvement over
that which prevailed when jackson We
toed the bill rechartering the United
States Bank. This We freely concede il il
will afford the Herald any satisfaction.
But we will remind i at the same time
that We now have an independent treasu-
ry combined with a banking system that
gives protection TO the government and
people, who are one and the same, against
the money sharks who are constantly
laying their snares to entrap both

COMING FOR INFORMATION.

x dispatch ffom Warrington few days
ago informedsus that the Senate ommit'
tee on Transportation Senator Window,
of Minnesota, chairman, intended to visit
New Orleans some time between the first
and fifth Of November, ''for the purpose
of. examining points affecting the Gems
| MERGE of New Orleans, the mouth Of the
Mississippi river, the proposed Fort St.
Philip canal, the climatic difficulties, etc. "
About the same time the chairman of
! the committee requested General West,
our Senator, to commit the various points
of this subject to persons here especially
we'll informed in them, who may have
ample time to prepare themselves to fur
| nish the committee all needful informa-
/ ton.
It will be observed that only short
time remains in which to complete the
preliminary work of preparing to meet the
committee Not that there is much to be
said which has not before been well said
on this same subject. The condition Of
the river at the mouth is perfectly we'll
known to our leading men; the want Of
sufficient depth Of water there has been a
cause Of complaint for more than twenty
Eve years, and the present means of over
coming the difficulty (dredging) is a
continuous labor, and insufficient in times
OF very high water .. -
While the Fort st. Philip canal viii, if
eve, completed, prove TO be great bless
ing to New Orleans, and advance it's rank
in The scale OK commercial cities, the
greater benefits to be derived from il will
certainly be felt elsewhere. N will imme-
diately open a good market foy grain in
districts Of country now practically mac
cessible to the great lateral railroad and
lake lines OF transportation to the Attain
tic seaboa-d. Kansas Missouri, Iowa,
Minnesota, Western Wisconsin and South
ern and Western Illinois and all the coun.
try south Of these States, as well as large
sections dependent upon the Ohio river,
are our real allies in the work Of improve
ment. To them We must look for aid in |
securing the completion of the work
As tor climatic difficulties, which the
suggest as point of inquiry,
we are satisfied that investigation will |
demonstrate there are none worth men
tioning During all our acquaintance
with the grain trade Of New Orleans we |
have never heard complaint on this sub
ect of climatic disability that did not
originate in some rival city like Montreal
Or New York. I
Fortunately for the success Of the bust
hess in hand, Senator West is in the city,
md will doubtless act as most useful
Mediator between the Senate committee
md the business men who may be charged
With presenting the matter to them in its
most favorable light. We hope to hear Of
immediate action on the part Of the
lhambey OF Commerce, before which body
he subject is under consideration.
Too much importance can not be at.
ached to q favorable report from the
Committee on Transportation, and it
houid be borne in mind that they in
urn are dependent upoo Us tor the data
