the duty Of Congress;

The Cause Of 1t.

Rew PoTk TRIBUNE.
The laws under which the people on.
loved two full years Of unexampled
prosperity are not rightly called the
causes Of public alarm, But men have
definite and incoRtestable reaso for
apprehension when they see factories
and mills and shops closing in every
direction. People cannot afford to man
ufacture large quantities Of goods with
the prospect that while the work Is in
progress, or before buyers OF the goods
can distribute them to customers,
cheaper goods will be admitted through
open custom houses. lfmep still doubt
what is the chief cause Of disorder, let
them consider candidly whether under
the circumstances now existing they
would put their whole resources into
the production Of goods TO be sold
months hence, Then let them think
whether tho mills and shops would not
be busy again within q week II it were
certain that the laws in force last Octo-
Der would continue in force for years to
come,

A Word to the Women.

1t always happens that women are
much more eager than men to draw
their money out of the banks in q time
of scare. They don't seem to under
stand that evil.disposed persons are on
the lookout for money that is poked
away in bureau drawers. trunks, and
wherever it is thought that money may
be concealed. In short, they do not stop
to think that moro money is lost in this
way than through all the breaking
banks.
No bank has broken in Wheeling and
none will break. The bank that has
closed took that course to protect Its
depositors and will pay them dollar for
dollar. Every other bank in Wheeling
can do that aud every one Of them
would have a surplus after paying ev-
cry dollar Of its indebtedness.
Let the women OF Wheeling consider
whether they cannot safely follow the
lead OF the experienced business men
who arc showing absolute confidence in
the banks.

Tho Money In tho hanks.

The banks of Wheeling are not only
as sound as they ever were, but, having
been looking ahead during the general
s~tringcncy, they have much more
money on hand than they are in the
habit Of having.
The fact is, it would be better for the
community if there were more OF this
money in circulation. 1t will got back
into the usual channels of trade as soon
as there shall be a complete recovery
of confidence, aud this will be shown
by dOpositors putting back the, money
they have taken out, money they have
no present use for aud don't know what
to do with for satc-keeping.

Cool.Hendod Mheellng.


Following tho suspension OF a bank
which has stood as one OF the bulwarks
Of this community there was naturally
some uneasiness on Sunday and some
apprehension US to what Monday might
bring forth.
This feeling OF uneasiness was con-
fined to small depositors and to those
among them who do the least think
ing. But even among these there was
nothing OF tho panic that might have
come where the people and the bank
ers are strangers to each other.
As some OF the small depositors went
for their money they saw careful BUSH
ness men in whose judgm ent they have
confidence making their deposits as
usual. In fact it seemed tina business
men could not get to the banks fast
enough to put in the money that had
accumulated since Saturday.
The peculiar spectacle was presented
OF men more eager to put their money
in than tho most uneasy were to get
theirs out. The result of the days bus
mess was that more money was confd-
ed to the banks than was withdrawn
from them.
The sober, common sonse o. cool
headed Wheeling had t%riumphed. Tho
people had resolved to stand by their
solid banks and through tho banks to
stand by themselves.
