Causes of Panics.

Mr.. Thomas Tooke, in his History
of Prices" attributes the recent panic
in this country to the fact that too
much of our floating capital
had been converted into fixed
capital in railroad enterprises, and as
serts that this was the cause of the f.
nancial crisis in England in 1847. En-
gland recovered rapidly from the shock
and the United States, he predicts, will
soon do the same thing. The Railway
Monitor divides the railroad develop
ment in this country into three stages,
and shows that Mr.. Tooke's theory
holds. The first period, between 1923
and I849, but 1865 miles Of railroad
were built; even this slow progress
was too much for the financial sire myth
of the country, and the railroad pro
jectors were ruined. Then the stimuli
taneous flow Of gold from California
and Australia infused fresh strength
into the civilized world, and at the end
of the next period, in 1859, the total
railroad mileage was 28,789 miles.
The third period, which closed in 1873
found total of II, ,565 miles of rail
road, and the strength Of the country
is again exhausted. The present con
ditions differ from those of the first
period. Then we had the life giving Q
flow from the gold mines now we are
struggling against the perilous excite
ment of paper money imitation. The
Monitor concludes that for many
years to come the extension of oul
railroad system must stop. In th,
hurry of speculation the work ha:
been poorly done, and the resources
of the country must be expended in
bettering what we have, instead of ad-
ding TO it. This advice is sound, and
probably Indicates the railroad policy
of the ountry for some time to come
for the reason that it is about the onl,
policy left.

MI. Smith being nominated by

MI. Smith being nominated by
practically an "unanimous majority"
as our neighbor says, the duty of Re
publicans is clear-work for him. 1t
is not string of resolutions nor any
amelnt of good will, nor ever so many
good promises to vote and work, that
elect man, but votes, and nothing
but votes If Mr.. Smith be q weak
man, or an ignorant man, or corrupt
man, or man of uneasy virtue
in any way, do not vote or ask a
friend to vote for him. But if as we
know is the fact, the record of his
private and public life, shows him to
be the very reverse of all this, and if,
as between him and his principles, and
his opponent and his principles there
be the difference between light and
darkness, then do all you can by fair
argument to convince your neighbors.
This is no time fol- weakling novice in
Congress above all other legislative
bodies. Mr.. Smith is neither, and
Mr.. Savage is both. There could
have been no more satisfactory nom
ination made than that of Mr.. Smith
and his name and record are tower Of

ton will vainly attack Hamilton
