Crash in Wall street Foretold

All business men are beginning to realize
the tremendous power which the master of Il
treasury bank in Washington and a treasury
dealer III government bonds between them
have to increase or diminish the market val
ues of all merchandise. MI Sherman has the
New York market for shares, bonds and pro
duce at his mercy If he were not candi.
date for the republican nomination at Chicago
the evil would be bad enough, out now it is
Uncomfortable While he was actively compc.
Ting with Grant for votes at the Utica conrcn-
ton everything in Wall street was made free
and easy" The structure which he then
helped 10 raise has, however, became top
heavy, and may at any moment dlsaStrously
tumble IN spite of the treasury efforts to pre-
vent the tumble. If the banks and trust com
panies of this city were TO call in their loans
on non.dvidend paying shares tomorrow the
bottom of Wall street would instantly fall out.
Could Mr.. Sherman get the Chicago nomina-
ton the kitefyers would no doubt have Ju-
bilee during the canvass, but II he cannot get
it-and there is no prospect that he can-then
Mr.. Sherman ray suddenly turn over 10 the
side of "honest money" and legitimate bust
ness and lend himself TO measures which will
precipItate a settlement involving more ter
rlble disaster than that of 1873. Wise men
will stand from UNDER at once OF course
strenuous efforts will be made TO keep this or
that stock "up" from day TO day, and the mo-
ment of the coming disaster may be adjourn
ed. But judlcious men are asking themselves
what proportion of the S50,OOOOOO increase
over last year in the loans of the banks OF this
city must be taken to represent securities
which are selling to-day at high rates, yet
which have not paid one dollar since they
we're last year quoted at merely nominal
prices. This question is the more urgent that
the increase IN the loans of the bank has gone
on concurrcntly with decline IN the reserves
of the banks, which has brought those reserves
down to the very edge and margin oil the 70
Nor cent rcoulred by law. II the reserves are
measured by the law of New York, they stand,
indeed, at less than 20 per cent. of the depos-
its and circulation of the banks. Money
meanwhile rules, at more than twice the rates
of the corresponding month of last year-N.

We beTin by calculating the crime II
cn~cudcrs, the officers 10 be paid to arrest
and guard these victims of the liquor
traffic, the expense of the arrests and
trials of the fclons made hS this influence,
WHO were otherwise good and honest men
until caught in these dcns, the Liquor Sal
looms, and in an evil hour ensnared and
made criminals. The money to build
iails, poor. houses, penitentlarics, the
rallowses TO hang them. and the fees OF
lie Prosecutors and EXecutionerSo OF those
thousand and one victims of this law OF
licensed crime.
Add To this the loss TO the State of the
good citizens, these deiuded men might
have remained. The loss to the common
wealth of their united industrious, their
Genius and enterprise, their votes and in
fiuence. their noble sons that might have
been raised to fill useful and honorable
positions i'm the community; but now all
Swamped in this Stygian Pool of Lager
Beer and poisoned WhiSkey. And even
worse, if possible, to themselves-the
knowledge that they are the sons OF fel-
ons, and their inheritance infamy and
shame.
Here you havet the aggregate amount OF
revenue expended TO cancel the crimes
caused by the sale and drinking OF this
drug, that fully doubles the sum brought
into the State Golfers by the sale of this
pest of the world. Nor into this sum is
account taken of the misery, destruction
and ruin inflicted on whole communities
of worthy citizens by this licensed sale of
LIQUID death. Nor does the pretty bubble
of restriction clear the thing of embar-
rassment. BY restricting the sale of
liccnse to those only who are able to pay
heavy fees, you only increase the expense
of the consumer. The added expense is
only thrown upon the commodity; the
tax ultimately falls Oil the poor wretch
that buys; and the few who are licensed
viii grow rich by the monopoly.
