Al the Banker Convention, held at Nj
agara Fails, good deal was said about an
other financial revulsion. Mr. John Thomp-
son thought We might have one within scou-
pie OF Year, time. But Mr.. Thompson is
wrong. There may be stock panics; indeed
these occur two or three times year whether
times arc good or bad. But q financial re-
vulsion, such as that Of '73 il fortunately
rare occurrence, and Is not to be expected for
r.sny years to come. There can be no gen.
eral refusal to pay debts, for that is what
panic amounts to, until everybody Is in debt.
People have generally made money for the
last three year., and are no, as ye, mortgag-
ed up to their eyes. A theory Of panics which
finds acceptance may be thus explained.
The natural increase Of wealth in any coun-
try is about two and quarter per cent. per
annum. But we have been paying in this
country for the use Of money up to within
the past two years, from seven to fifteen per
cent. II follows that our bnsiness men Gre
ate debt much faster THAI the growth Of the
nation creates riches, and 90 it comes about
that in every seven or ten years our people
find that they cannot pay their debts. This
creates dis;rus'; then pay day comes with no
money in bank or pocketbook- A panic il
Amply the wiping out Of deb,s which cannot
be paid. That We will not have srother
panic for quite while lie shown by the low
rate ofinterest We are not creating 80 much
debt, as we are not paying interest much in
advance Of the natural increase OF wealth.
Unless We have war. pes,ilence. or bad crops,
there is no reason why the present prosperity
may not last for twenty year,. Still, prices
will go up and down, and the danger is that
in prosperous times people venture too far,
and when the inevitable setback comes, they
cannot meet their obligations.
