THE NEWS IN THE TRIBUNE.

THE TRIBUNE on Saturday morning con-
tanned, beyond all comparison, the clearest
and most complete account of the financial
storm of the day before which was published
in New-York. In fullness of details and in
systematic arrangement of matter the report
which appeared in these columns has never
been exceled in newspaper annals. But
although the great event of the day thus
received its fitting prominence, no other mat
tiers of interest were neglected. THE TRIBUNE
printed tho only full report by cable from
Dundee of the rescue of the survivors of the
Polaris, and the only account yet published
in America of their adventures after parting
company with the Tyson party. In addition
to these Important features, we printed page
of fresh and timely European correspondence,
and another of recent scientific Investigations
of the greatest interest to all intelligent
readers. Two days before, we had printed,
also exclusively, the story of the enormous
bond robbery in the Brooklyn Trust Company,
every particular of which is now confirmed by
dispatches from Connecticut
These are the triumphs of the past week
which fifty supplement the similar recent sue
cesses of The TRIBUNE, in its efforts to give
all the news earlier and more fully than any
other journal. We have the right to congrat-
ulate our readers upon having the first and
fullest intelligence. We try to deal honestly
by them. We print nothing for padding. We
do not aim to dazzle our readers or waste our
space by staring head lines or prOfuse lead
ing. We do not quarrel with our neighbors
VINO prefer wrangling to gathering the news.
We devote all the space thus saved to inter
esting and important reading matter, and the
result is that THE TRIBUNE prints every day

THE SITUdTION

The panic might have been ended on
Saturday. Most sagaciOus men indeed thought
it was over. That it ragged more viO-
lently than ever that day, that yester-
day it pervaded the whole city, reaching
even sound bankers and merchants, and that
to-day opens with gloomy prospects, d.. is
Immediately due to the failure of Com
modore Vanderbilt, the President of the Lake
Shore Railroad to pay, when called upon, a call
loan for 81 100000, negotiated with the Union
Trust Company, whereof his son-in-law, the
late Horace +. Clark, was President Other
large borrowers were likewise delinquent, and
notably the special partner of Mr.. Clark, for
over half million more, which is doubtless also
legitimately debt of the Vanderbilts but the
Union Trust Company suspended on Saturday,
the panic was renewed in more alarming and
disastrous form, and ruin was carried to
thousands of homes where widows and
orphans are dependent on funds swallowed
up in the Trust COmpany's fall, because
Commodore Vanderbilt, q man worth seventy
millions, would not pay the million and three
quarters unwisely borrowed, last August,
from his son-in-law's Company, to pay an
unearned dividend on his own railroad. 1t
can of course be pleaded that the Commodore
is not personally responsible for the debts of the
Company, and doubtless there is no law that
could have forced him to see that this loan
was met But we could wish, for the fame of
an old man, identified with great enterprises,
that he had paid his debt, and prevented the
ruin of Saturday.
We believe large part of Sundays alarm
a mere wild, senseless stampede, but it cannot
be denied that the situation, this
morning, is very grave. The Government
agrees to buy its bonds to any amount, but
the bonds which the straitened dealers gener-
ally have to realize on are not Governments,
and the relief therefore is not complete.
There is much alarmed talk of a run
ON the Savings Banks, though the most dill
gent search by our reporters reveal few premOn-
itorysymptOms of it. One or two banks are GER
tainly shaky, but the great majority of them are
strong enough, with decently cool manage
ment, to weather the crisis. The one symptom
more ominous than all the rest, was the
unreasoning panic among all stock operators,
brokers and speculative bankers, which ragged
throughout Sunday and Sunday night, aud was

REMOTE CAUSES OF THE PANIC.

Before we apply desperate remedlesw we Shouiu
understand the nature of the disease. we
have maintained and still insist that an IN
fation of the legal-tender circulation Is
no cure for the malady which allllcts
us. This will appear if we go back
and examine into the remote causes
not so very remote, after all-which have pro-
duced the present state of things. we are
bound to suffer for our follies. Imitation may
postpone for short time the day OF reckon
ing, but that day will surely come.
The trouble with us is our immense mass OF
indebtedness, both foreign and domestic. 1t
must never be forgotten that by far the larger
part of that Indebtedness is the direct effect OF
the initiation of our currency. The payment OF
debts has always been found troublesome, yet
it is the only honest way of getting rid OF
them. Privation and suffering must be en-
dured or the money cannot be saved with
which to make the necessary disbursements.
And now let us calmly consider how we came
to be so much i'll debt, and take look at the
ledger.
In the first place we will glance at our in
debtedness. From the year ended June 30,
1868, to the year ended June 30, 1873, our I'M
ports rapidly and steadily increased III value,

Like almost all accused persons, be complains

Like almost all accused persons, be complains
that he is the victim of a conspiracy.
This supplemented gentleman, then, did not
know that he had no moral OF legal right to
levy O contribution on the salaries of his
clerks. He had heard so much about assess
ments for political purposes, he thought he
might levy one for general emergencies;
and the s1,648 fund was the result
This aimless or mysterious levy was
put by for a rainy day, the Postmaster,
rs he says adding his mite to the provident
fund; but to what amount is not stated. The
true place of Mr.. Filley, evidently, is some
where else than in public Office. He is too
ready to follow the example of those who
know more about politics than he does, and
he has not discretion enough to choose his
times and ways of operations. He has the
popular official notion that salaries of public
servants belong to "the men who run the Re-
publican party" of whom he is one. If it had
not been for the conspiracy which he says
was instigated by purely personal and ma
",licious motives,n his levy would never have
been made notorious; he would have kept the
money and continued in ignorance of the rules
of the Civil Service and his poor clerks would
never have got their money back again. 1t is
easy to see where this contemplate business
will end. The Washington authorities UNI
doubtedly consider Mr.. Filley a good fellow,
who gives the President a 5000 dinner on oc-
casion. 1t would be q shame to visit him in
wrath When men who steal millions from
the Government get off scatheless, why break
this simple butterfly on the wheelf

For many things which his Admin

Government to lend money to brokers or

reckless men, maddcned by the results OF
their own insane speculations. To hold that
the President has right to violate law in
the interest of operators IN stocks is
well nigh az crazy theory as was

If now Wall Street can emulate to some
small extent the imperturbable spirit
with which the President views the
convulsion. we shall get through the

Total. a., s34, 5s5,

To the imports should be added large toll
for the use of British ships. At the beginning
of 1867 we were already heavily in debt to
Europe, so that to the round three hundred
millions we have run behind since then must
also be added each year a large additional
sum for interest.
Let us now consider our domestic debts
The nation and most of the Northern States
have considerably diminished their debts but
the good effect of this has been more than
counterbalanced by the reckless increase in
the debts of cities, counties, and towns,
and the lavshness with which pub
lie money has been appropriated
for all purposes of government. Next, we
have to notice a tremendous increase in the
bonds issued by railroad and other corpora
tions. Then come mortgages on farms and
other real estate, many Of them dating back
to war times. Finally we have the loans and
discounts of the national banks, of which the

4 SIMPLE-MIYDED POSTMASTER.

Postmaster Filley of st. Louis has made an
explanation of his official assessments, which,
for simplicity and artlessness, is most charm
ing. Briefly, the story is as follows: A fund
was raised in the st. Louis Post Office, by as
easements on the salaries of the clerks. This
sum, which amounted to S1,64s, was kept in
the custody of Mr. Filley. AT the time of the
assessment it was charged that the clerks
were presented with blank form of resigna-
ton, which they were expected to sign if they
did not respond to the call for contributions.
One clerk furnished to the press another form
of agreement, which set forth that the signers,
clerks in the Post Office, consented to an as
sessment of five per cent on their salaries,
without fear of removal or other conse-
quences, and that they approved of the
course of Postmaster Filley in observ-
ing silence concerning this whole
business, Notwithstanding the comments
of the press. Mr.. Filley now writes to the
Postmaster General explaining that he has
lust discovered by an examination of the rules
and regulations of the Civil Service that he
had no right to levy assessments or receive
voluntary contributions. Amazed by this Teve
lation, he has returned the money to the
clerks and hopes to be forgiven for his igno-
rance of the law. What he intended to do
with this special fund he does not reveal; but
he does say that he never intended to use 1t
for Office furniture or repairs, nor for paying
for entertainments to public functionaries.

more than we are importing; Q) because we
are selling very cheap; (2) because the English
have experienced tremendous rise in prices
and we are not able to pay for their
wares; (3) the English, being already some
what in trouble from short crops, labor
unions, scarcity of coal, &C., and foreseeiDg a
great deal more, are drawing in and refusing
TO buy our securities as they have been doing
for the last five or six years Now
our farmers are already in trouble be-
cause we have been selling their stuff
so cheap. The English are getting more and
more in trouble every day, and we, in the
great cities, expect to be as "prosperousn and
extravagant as ever. All we need, the doctors
tell us, is little more green paper! Not
so. We must come down to bread and water
and pay our debts. We have no choice in the
matter. We must continue TO send out of the
country more valuable things than we bring
into the country until John Bull gets on his
legs again. John Bull is sick, and the farmers
are sick, and the trade of peddling rail

A correspondent in the South exposes
one of the plumbers of farming in which
Southern planters still indulge. He shows that
the hay crop among others is wholly neg
lected in spite of the fact that grass springs
spontaneously there, and that the South
buys its hay from the West thousand
miles distant where hay crops are made
profitable on more costly land and by higher
priced labor.
