| Not long since the firm Of Mccormick &
Co.. of New York, we believe cotton deal
ers, went into bankruptcy, with liabilities
amounting to 100000 and assets 500, con-
sisting Of wearing apparel These men
had unbounded credit, and but for the ex-
posure of their condition liz a bankrupt
court would have been regarded as victims
of contraction of the currency" An
other case, lis where. gentleman in whom
every body had confidence, and that conf
dence enabled him to spread his credit over
three or four States to the amount of over
| 100000, with assets not exceeding $50, 1000.
This is another victim of what is called con-
| traction Of the currency.
| 1t was simply inflated credit, brought
about by the wild spirit Of speculation that
followed after the war, and which had to
collapse sooner or later, running great
many unsuspecting and credulous people.
| And this is the kind of prosperity the
greenback fanatics want to revive. Honest
labor has to suffer from it, and the kiters
| live in affiuence for awhile, collapse, land are
as well off as when they commenced. Do
the people of the Valley want any more of
| this?
