We have received a copy of the
speech of VIM j. Sykes AT Pulaski on
the condition of the country. His
view Of the situation is much more
hopeful than many express. Our
readers will realize the truth of much
Of what he says in regard TO the eau
scs which produce the present strin>
gency in mony matters:
Hard times are caused, in d great
degree by mere panic, produced by
exaggerated statements of cur indebted
ness, without giving our resources and
the vast increase in the wealth and pro-
auctions Of the country. The impress
sion has been sought to be made that
the country is bankrupt, and this, Of
course dcpresscs the price Of property
and makes money very scarce, as the
phrase goes. Money is q circulating
medium, and derives its value and
usefulness from It's free circulation.
Millions Of dollars locked up in banks
or private safes does no good. Wheth-
cr this boarding Of money results from
4" panic or a good cause, the effect is
III" same upon the price of property
and The business Of the country. Men
who have thousands and tens Of thou-
Sads Of DO lIs in hand are the very
r3cn to cry hard times" and thereby
make and continue panic, in order
that their money mag become more
valuable. This money panic which
Is without any adequate cause, pro
duccs great misery in the country,
especially to the industrious and pro
ducing classes, The country is In far
better condition than it was Il year
ago. The cotton crop Of the south
will bring S240, 000,G GOO, and in addi-
lion they have an abundance Of corn
and wheat, and mest was much less
scarce, as he had recently ascot .ined
10y actual observation, than many sup.
posed. The country is improving, and
if corn, grain, hogs, cattle and mules
are raised next year rs they have been
this year, your difficulties viii soon he
at an end, and the panic makers, who
with pockete full of money, are always
CRYING "hard times" will lose their
occupation, and we may thank God
when that day arrives.
Individual Indebtedness. It NAV
he said there Is a large Individual III
debtcdHoss, hut it must be remember.
vd that there are creditors as well as
debtors, ard if man has as much
owing to him Is he owes, accounts
ure even, aud he cannot be said TO be
in debt.
If every man would pay what he
owes. and could collect what is owing
to him, there would be a much less
balance Of Indebtedness than many
suppose. Bur the failure of one man
TO pay causes another 20 fail, and
this causes another, and that another
and in this way great Inconvenience,
if not injury is produced. The pay
ment by one woJld lead to the pay
ment hy many, and things would 90
on moresmoothly. Moneypanics cause
men to refuse to pay even when they
have the money, and this intensifes
the panic, and produces real distress
bv destruction of confidence, and
boarding up Of the money really in the
country.
