boosted that the government was on
their side. This story was not be.
lieved, Of course, but the deaf ear
which the authorities had lent to
all appeals for action in this direc.
ton destroyed all hope of relief
from the treasury.
The quotations soon after the
opening of business went to 1856
from $50 at the start. Just before
noon 16O was touched; then 1871;
then 1862 This was the eliminating
point. Terror was depicted on
every countenance in the gold room.
The intelligence of the advance was
telegraphed all over the country
and displayed on bulletins which
were more eagerly scanned than the
returns would be from a presiden.
tial election.
The end, however, was at hand.
Unknown to the clique the treasury
department had come to the rescue.
The bid of 1872 was accepted, and
200, 900, was sold. This broke
the spell which bound the crowd,
but it increased the excitement.
Sales by the same individual who
sold at 1872 were made at l6l and
100. Then the thought flashed
through the minds of the onlookers
that this man, who stood calm and
unmoved amid all this convulsion,
must have untold resources at his
back. His identity was quickly
guessed at. Like lightning word
went through the crowd: "The
treasury is in the street," 1.-The
treasury is selling" Dozens then
rushed to sell, and in quicker time
than it takes to write these lines
prices had dropped to 1876. The
gold bubble was bursted, and one
of the most notable and audacious
conspiracies ever Matched on a spec
ulative exchange was stamped out.
The panic of 1878, the latest of
the country's financial commissions,
was caused chiefly by the excessive
railway building. In the two and
one.half years Immediately proceed
ing the crash over 90, 900 miles of
railway were constructed in the
United States, in which more than
81, 900, 100000 was invested. A
large part of this was altogether
useless and harmful. The needs
which these roads were designed to
meet did not, in most cases, actu-
ally come into existence until ten
or twelve years later, and the avail
able capital of the country, as a
consequence, was depleted to tina,
extent. Other factors, also, such

A general feeling of insecurity
began to manifest itself in financial
and commercial circles in the fall of
1878, and in September the collapse
came. ..On the s in day of that month
the New York Security and Ware
house company went down under the
load of the Missouri. Ka 1sas and
Texas: on the 18th Daniel Drew's
firm was crushed with the Cana la
S Southern; on the 18th Jay Cooke
was buried under the weight Of
the Northern Pacific, and then in
rapid succession Fish & Hatch, the
Union Trust company, and the
Common wealth National bank fell,
the New York Stock Exchange put
up it's shutters and the crisis was
"on."
The scenes of 1887 and 1857 were
repeated in 1873. Banks all over
the country suspended specie-pay,
ments temporarily, and many OF
them were driven out of existence
permanently, mills suspended or re-
duced hours of labor; wages were
cut, and an era of financial distur'
bance aud general distress set in,
which did not end until 1878,
year before the resumption by the
