witness for myself, to study the details
that prevail IN tho great south, in the
business relations it bears to tho coun-
try. We are passing through
PERIOD OF GREAT DEPRESSION,

pre- ssion is phenomenal in ils character.

in the United States. What Is
known rs the panic OF 1887, which
know of only perhaps from reading and
hearsay, there was antecedent to that
period for seven years balance of
trade against tho United States,
aegregating $l50,0OO,000 in value. Again,
In 1857, the panic OF that year was pre-.
coded by eight years of adverse trade
agsiust the United States In foreign
counties, aud aggregating S350,0O0,00O,
and the more recent panic of 1873 came
upon us aftor nine years. After
ten years of balance of trade
against the United States, aggreeating
SlOO,OOO,OOO in value, and yet to-day we
are In the midst of depression, when
The last nine years Of trade In the United
States has been in favor of the United

an over exhaustive taxation, and to
