statements are mostly obtained
from Professor Summers 'IIistory
OF the American Currency"
A recapitulation Of the fore
going shows that the commercial
: depressions following the various
crises which have visited our
country have been in duration as
follows:
That of 1919, two years.
That of 1925, year and a half.
That OF 1913, one year.
That of 1853, six months.
That of 1857, six months.
The tolerable uniformity of the
periods through which each genera
depression lasted-about a year aud
a half-shows that there is some
thing OF rule which governs these
revulslons. 1t would appear that
from eighteen months to two years
are required for people to look
around, straighten up their accounts
| pay their Indebtedness and collect
what is owing them.
Reasoning from the analogy OBJ
servable in these instances, it is evi-
dent that the period Of the CONNER
clal stagnation following the panic
of 1873 has run It's full length, and
the recovery cannot be long defer! ed
| We have before shown reasons for
believing that the revival is now in
progress, having setin some months
ago. Another feature of the anal
ogy is thatthe coming years will be
unusually prosperous. There seems
no doubt to US that we are now an
tori"S uPon In1S era, which Will
last probably for another decade or

We notice several familiar
faces on the street this week-men
who have come to work on the
railroad bridges this winter.-Quite
number of the men formerly en-
gagged on the road will work beyond
Penoka this winter.
r. D.. Pike, Esq, Of Bayfield,, has
invented a siding machine that is
destined to work complete revolu-

used and valuable lumber. He has
Just placed in position at his mill
the first one manufactured for trial,
and it works to a charm. We are
promised full description Of the
machiue, VIII ch we shall publish
hereafter. It's simple, yet planes
and saws the siding at the same

any other machine in use.-We are
glad Capt. Pike has struck 50 good
a thing, for we believe that "there's
