over the world in the great onward

front ranks ? There is no place on the

right where we stand. Are we ready
for the work?

aid, for we are marching under the

THE FINANCIAL CRASH OF
1879.


The crisis has come and gone, and
now that the fever Of excitement and
terror is over, men are in more fit
state Of mind to look into some of the
causes Of the trouble. .~. it,
1t has been frequently remarked dur
ing and since the panic by the
enemies Of the order of Patrons of Hus-
bandry, that the financial crisis has, to
a great extent, been produced by the
influence of Granges-that their hostil-
ity to railroads has greatly deprecated
the value of railroad bonds, and thus
precipitated the collapse
We desire to submit the following re-
marks upon this subject:
l. For at least three years last
past some of our ablest fnanciers and
best business men have been predicting
a collapse in railroad stock, and wide
spread financial panic resulting there
from.
2. These predictions were based
upon the fact that railroads were being
pushed away into unsettled regions,
which could give them no paying busi-
ness for many years after the roads
were built, if at all, the companies and
bond holders mainly relying upon their
enormous land grants. But the lands
have no market value except as the pro.
jected road gives them value by OPEN
ing up and settling the country. The
companies, therefore, have the. double
task Of building their roads, and settling
up the countries through which they
pass. But it was argued that there
were so many being built upon this
purely speculative basis, that it was i'm
possible they should all succeed, and
that collapse was inevitable.
3. Some time last summer European
capitalists sent a commission to this
country sto inquire into the standing,
condition, prospects and securities Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad Co., with
view to investing in the bonds of that
company. The commission came, and
undoubtedly gave the matter a most
thorough and comprehensive investiga-
ton. Upon their return their report,
whatever it was, was not Published; ;
but it has since transpired that they
The Grange advance., 1873-10-15
reported adversely to the road. This,

reported adversely to the road. This,
undoubtedly, seriously impaired the
Of American bond holders,
many of whom have. for some time past
been trying to get rid of their stock.
5. Jay Cooke & Co.; probably the
largest and best known bankers in the
United States, were the most heavily
interested in these stocks, and it was
matter Of immense Importance to them
that the credit of the Company and its
bonds should be maintained. In order,.
therefore, to restore and establish conf
dence, they ostentatiously bought in
the bonds of these timid holders, to
show capitalists they were not afraid Of
these stocks. But the more they
bought, the more they found for sale,
and the more of the bonds they got
upon their hands, the more essential it
was for them to keep up the value.
They had got into fearful current and
were no longer able to control them
selves. They could simply keep on
buying until their money was all gone,
and then in its place lay only heap of
Northern Pacific bonds, almost worth
less.
6. Others, who like them had been
buying up the stocks Of these specula-
tive roads, found themselves in simi-
lar current and were soon, with Cooke
& Co., hurled into the gulf of bankrupt
cy. In this way the panic was set in
motion. People were frightened be-
yond sense or reason. They rushed to
the banks to get out their money, and
in doing this they withdrew it from
circulation. The whole trouble now is
that so much money is lying in mems
pockets, or tucked in corners of bed
ticks for safe keeping, and there will
probably be more money lost in this
way than by the failure of banks
When the panic was once started,
such men as Jay Gould found it to
their interest to keep up the excitement
for they were making the largest por-
tion Of what others were losing.
We see then that this matter has
been brewing for years, and before the
Oranges became, to any extent, inAuen-
tial, and that the crisis was inevitable
if there had never been Grange in
existence.
But amid the difficulties of the hour
we have this consoling reflection. If
any Of these roads must fail, it is better
that it should occur now, than that they
should live on for years extorting from
the poor settlers along their roads every
dollar they can earn to support non-pay-
ing railroads.

New York has organized cheap
transportation association, and appointed
committees consisting Of some of the
most enterprising merchants Of the city
-Ihe London Times says with re-
gardstp the New York financial panic
that "in view of the extraordinary
prosperity of the United States, and
the high price Of its government bonds,
the present gust can but be remarked
as simply an effort of the financial sys-
tenn to get rid Of it's dishonest element ;"
and the statement is not very far from
the truth
"A strong effort is to oe made in
the next Congress to get an appropria-,
tion for the construction Of the St
Philip canal near the mouth Of the
Mississippi river. 1t is estimated to
cost about twelve million dollars and
when finished will, it is said, permit Of
sailing of the largest ocean vessels, as
far as Cairo for at least four months of
the year.
In his recent speech at Dayton:
Ohio Senator Morton, in speaking of
the. cheap transportation question,
made statement of considerable i'm
portance. He says that he has in his
possession proposal submitted by
Dutch capitalists to build a railroad
with four tracks from the West to the
seaboard, without any aid, either state
or national. All they ask is a charter
We trust this proposal will not be for
gotten when Congress meets, for it will
contrast very strangely with certain
other propositions which will be SUBJ
mitted to the authorities.
An exchange says England has
entered upon the experiment of reform
ing all railroad abuses and inaugurating
sort Of Utopia of steam locomotion by
means Of board of commissioners.
The functions of this board commenced
on the LIST inst. It consists of Sir
Francis Peel, son Of the great Robert
Peel; MIR Price. lumber merchant
and old railroad officer, and Mr. Me-
Namara, barrister. The duties of
the board are to adjudicate upon ques-
tions of amalgamation competition,
goods rates, passenger rates, and the
general protection of the public.
/ The Senatorial Committee on
Transportation was in session in New
York last week. Among the statements
made to the committee was one By Mr..
Walker. statistician of the Produce Ex-
change, who said that the most promis-
ing competing routes will be through
the Central of New York and through
the St. Lawrence route when the Ca
nails are enlarged. The state of New
York must be prepared to meet compe
tition by the St. Lawrence at a rate not
to exceed ten cents per bushel from
Chicago to Montreal. The remedy for
exorbitant rail-rates is the improvement
of water routes and increased facilities
by rail. Many lines are now doubling
their tracks, and they can do so scarce
ly fast enough. The canals since 1887
have transported over seven thousand
million dollars worth Of property, and
have produced revenue sufficient to
pay for themselves. The tonnage Of
the canals for twenty-three years has
been more than double the tonnage Of
all the vessels entering the port Of New
York The greatest capacity Of the ca
nails to, move property eastward is four
million tons. A lock should be able to
accommodate a boat of twenty-six hun,
dred tons. ~

CENTAUR LINIMENT.-Ihere Is no pain
which the Centaur Liniment will not relieve,
no swelling it will not subdue. and no lame
ness which it will not cure. This is strong
Language, but it is true. Where the parts
are not gone, its effects are marvellous. 1t
has produced more cures of rheumatism,
neuralgia, lock jaw, palsy. sprains, swell
ings, caked breasts, scalds, burns, salt
rheum, lear ache, &c, upon the human frame,
and of strains, SPAWN, gals, &C., upon ami
mails, in one year than have all other pre-
tended remedies since the world began. 1t
is counter -irrtant, an all-healing pain re-
lever. Crpples throw away their crutches,
the lame walk, poisonous bites are rendered
harmless and the wounded are healed with
out scar 1t is no humbug. The recipe
is published around each bottle. 1t is selling
as no article ever before sold, and it sells
because it does just what it pretends to do.
Those who suffer from rheumatism, pain
or swelling deserve to suffer if they will not
use Centaur Liniment More than 1000 GER
tifcates of cures, including chronic rheuma-
tsm, govt, running tumors, &C., have been
received. We will send circular containing
the recipe, gratis, to any one requiring it.
One bottle of Centaur Eminent is worth one
hundred dollars for spawned horses and
mules, or screw-worm in sheep. Stock
owners, this llnment is worth your attention.
