DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PANICs
or 1873 AND 1893.

We have been asked why the country
recovered so rapidly from the effects Of
the panic OF 1873, and is so slow in recov-
ering from that of 1898. and why the re-
covery IS not moro rapid since the recent
election than 1t has been?
The explanation in both cases is ap-
parent. In 1873 we were upon a greatly
inflated paper basis tho paper money be-
ing at a very considerable discount The
panic OF that year was caused by the
oyertrading OF a certain number OF indi-
viduals or houses. caused by the specula-
tive spirit engendered by a deprecated
and inflated paper currency. The whole
country was not involved in that over
speculation 1t was only the particular
individuals and houses that were involved.
When one OF these. Jay Cooke & Co.,
went 10 the wall. distrust was excited in
all quarters; all OF those who were too
far extended were forced TO liquidate. and
this brought on general state Of panic
that lasted until all the unsafe edinces
had fallen. but that came 10 an end as
soon as this rubbish was cleared away
The panic was brought on by this special
cause, and ended as soon as the cause
ended. and the country again resumed the
even tenor OF its way.
But the panic Of 1898 was a far different
thing That was caused by the general
apprehension the world had fallen under
that our continued increase OF silver dol
lars. worth only half dollars. would make
1t impossible for us 10 keep upon gold
basis. and all the world commenced.
consequently. to withdraw from this
country everything II had here while it
could get 1t in good hard gold dollars.
Not only so. but many Of our own citi-
Eens began to convert everything they
had into gold funds. that ran any risk
of being turned into silver dollars. The
panic II 1898. therefore, was brought on
by a general cause that operated every
where and on all people who had capital
That OF 1873 was special and very limited,
that Of 1893 was entirely general and all
prevailing.
When the single standard cause carried
the country last November II ought to
have ended all cause for the dstrust OF
Us, and II would have done so but for
two things. when the figures Of the
election were critically examined, II was
seen that twenty-five thousand votes pro-
perry distributed would have elected Nj
Bryan. II was seen in other words that
his theories had a tremendous following
amounting 10 something not FAR from half
tho nation. but most OF all. when the
case was examined still more critically. 1t
was seen that the chief element Of the
discomfort was the agricultural popula-
ton. who were Disconnected because they
had no media Of exchange. but that the
prevailing party had no idea OF doing
anything that would bring relief 10 the
sgriculturIsts. The world naturally rea-
soned. therefore. that the disconnected
