steamers that were to take the haz- ardous run to some confederate port. The profits were so great that single successful run would more than pay for the best steamer afoat and meet the expenses of the voyage into the bargain. How it fiourished and what inducements it had to flourish, may be judged from the fact that during the war the bloclSading fleet took or de- stroyed more than roo vessels engaged in the trade.
 It has been said that the purchase of arms added greatly to the private means of certain officials. The works at Springfield, where the army muskets were made, were unable to meet the sudden demand. and agents were sent abroad 10 buy rifles from various Euro pean powers. The aggregate cost of these muskets exceeded S2,000,00 They were in every way inferior to these made at home, and it was asserted that they were guns which had been con demned by the governments from which they were purchased.
 The moneyed return in war time is not always in proportion to the actual value of the service rendered; indeed, it would seem that the man who stays quietly at home and allows his neigh bor to go to the front and do the fight ing has every chance of becoming a rich man, while the soldier can only hope for fame-or pension.
 PPrhnnS fhare iS p0 harSar. ;ll,, tion of this seeming unfairness than that offered in the case of Capt. John Ericsson, who invented and built the famous Monitor which defeated the Merrimac in Hampton Roads and for ever stayed the rising wave of confed- crate success. He probably received less from the government than did many of the contractors who supplied caps and shoes for the army.

This is said to have been one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of the worlds finances.

suit of the expansion and development { oecasioned by the civil war,
 The first effect of the war was to paralyze trade of every sort; the next was to stimulate it. The speculative fever broke outin 1862. Men speculated in all the food products, in coal, iron, dry goods and gold. Very few of these purely speculative fortunes were last ing, however. They were made and lost almost in a day. One of the most in- teresting phases of this wartime speculation were the operations in gold, which were first conducted in dirty and dingy news stall called "Gilpin's S rooms" at the corner of William street and Exchange place, New York city. In two or three months it became the center of the gold business of the United States. During the war, when gold reached 2S5, the trade amounted to millions a day and immense fortunes were suddenly made, the majority of which were as suddenly lost in March of 1863, when gold fell "A points. Many of these deals were fraudulent. Edward E. Ketchum's operations, which were estimated to have yielded him profit of over $1,o0o,o00 in less than years time, were of this nature, but their boldness eompels sort of admiration by reason of his youth-he was only 25 years of age.
 The speculation in gold eliminated in 1869 in widespread ruin. This was on what is known as Black Friday, when Jay Gould and Jim Fisk tried to force it up to 200.
 Fisk had entered into the venture on Gould's assurance that President Grants brother-in-law, Gen. Porter, his private secretary, and Butterield, the assistant secretary of the treasury.were 10 have an interest in the speculation. Fisk was aware that together they could buy all the gold in New York city,
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-05-29

but he feared the S100,000,000 in the subtreasury, for he knew an offer from the government to sell any part of that would mean their ruin; as he said: Our phantom gold can't stand the real stuff" However, when he was told that corruption was to play part in the speculation, he felt at home and safe They prepared for the struggle by buy ing the Fifth national bank of New York.
 On the 23d of September, the day be- fore the bubble broke, Gould and Fisk had about $30o,00o on deposit there, but their checks were certified to the amount of $s.0o0,ooo.
 The government meantime had been informed of the action of the bank, and three examiners were sent to New ' Yorlz to take possession. This was on Friday morning; but they permitted the bank to transact its regular business, though no more checks were certified which were not covered by deposit.
 On Wednesday, the price of gold had been 140h. a rise of five cents. This would have given profit of $5,Ooo,ooo to the eonspirators had they chosen to sell, but they held, and Thursday gold reached 150. On Friday morning it climbed to 160-and then at the critical moment came the news that the gov ernment had opened the vaults of the sub-treasury. Instantly there was panic; with hardly rally gold fell to

only in Castilian. Once you have proven your ability to return such compliments you may then have the Spaniard unfolded for you, not to you; before you he becomes more open and unguarded with his fellows.
 This suspicion of foreigners is born of sensitiveness, and nourished on that kind of pride which can only be de- fined as the Spanish kind-an odd mix ture of pride for what Spain has been, unadmitted jealousy that she is noth- ing now, and fear of, and readiness to resent, any allusion to her present state of decay. But when you know him best he may in an unguard- edly pathetic moment refer to incidents in Spanish history in the days of her glory and add: "Ah, those were great days" Finally, he may turn upon his own government, if discreetly piled with questions, and, as I have had it occur to me, ask: Have you ever read Gil Bias? Then you know, my dear friend, what the government of Spain is to-day. There is no material change. But give us good government and we will show to the world what Spain is." Yet the Spaniard who told me that, himself belonged to clique who had exploited the public treasury, under the guise of concessions and sales of lands to it. of no inconsiderable sum; and finished by admitting that the people had for so long been accus- toned to such treatment they suffered this as quietly, submissively and much more indifferently than that faithful national animal the donkey, submits to his wrongs.
 Speaking of this member of the social system-called by some of Spain's harsher critics her best citizen-he is seen in such numbers that I have been put to thinking. Has this animal in fueneed the Spanish character by givng lesson of patience? Has it been the teacher of that first of all words to be learned in Castilian. pa- ciencia? Or has it been brought into such universal use as the best express sion of the embodiment of the Spanish guiding principle, paciencia? Or is it so largely used because of the compati- bility, sympathy of character be- tween man and beast? Atany rate the donkey is in such evidence and stands so many hardships itself that it is an animal after the Spanish heart.
 Though the Spaniard, as I have re- marked, is not interested thorough ly in day, only very short time in Spain is required to learn that, though the printed calendars, as elsewhere. give seven days to the week, there are as matter of fact only two known to the Spaniard. Those are Manana-to- morrow-and Doming ngo-Sunday. Man ana is the great day for business, com mencing work, fulfilling all obligations, paying debts; for everything, in short. that has to be done; the day when, if one has troubles all will be lighted. Poor hoping, procrastinating Spain! What has not this disastrous optimism

To q traveller who starts out from America with the intention of doing Europe entire in q season, who woulo accordingly allot about ten days or ms time to Spain, who would be obliged to hurry from Gibraltar to San Se- bastian with a bird's-eye view of the country snatched from Valencia se- villa, Madrid and Toledo, the affronts that his love for personal comfort suffers are so grave that his ideas or . the country would scarcely be strongly biased by prepossession agalhst people who make such poor use of nlne- teenth century convenienees. For Tn all conscience it is most strange that, with the semblance of adoption ot mln- isters to comfort, which makes travel in every other country such pleasure, Spain should leave it's possibilities ab- solutely unexploited. From the time of your entry into an inditferently clean railway carriage, 10 be jostled over a rough railroad track, until you have taken your last badly-eooked meal, life is a burden, and your prln- cipal thought is to move on in search of comforts. Thus the Spaniard is lost sight of, except as he may be seen beg ging in the streets or as matador in a bull ring, and Spain leaves only un- pleasant memories.
 But perhaps the European nation which has most nearly guarded intact it's pieturesqueness of customs and character is Spain. To see this, how ever, you must first learn the full meaning of the word paeiencia, pa- tienee, patience, patienee-and you must exercise ii, too. Before one learns to speak the Spanish his very ignor- ance of it is resented by native by bestowing on the stranger polite for mality and such an abundance of trans parent 1lattery as can be expressed

000-were eagerly sought by specula- tors who bought and stored large quan- titles of whisky, knowing it would adt vance in price the moment the tax was placed upon it.
 One year prior to the war cotton sold at 11hcents pound in the markets of the world; two years later ii was selling at 24A cents, this rise, and those which followed, forcing it up to 65 cents, and affecting the price of all dry goods.
 Having forseen the condition that war would necessarily create in the south, A. T. Stewart, New York's great dry goods merchant, had bought and stored millions of yards of cotton goods of all description. In a single year. from this source, he realized $4,090,- 900.
 Deylin G5 Co.,, of New York, great wartime firm of clothiers, profited in a somewhat similar way. When it was seen that war was imminent they pur- chased all the cloth they could find in the market suitable for uniforms, and not even waiting for the call for troops began the manufacture of oyercoats and army clothes. They had 75,00o of these packed and ready for shipment when the presidents call for men came, and these uniforms were worn by the first troops that marched to the front. It was during the first year of the war that the word "shoddy" came into use. It was applied to the worthless gar ments furnished the government by dishonest contractors, but after the first year the giving out of contracts was so we'll managed that frauds of this sort became welI-nigh impossible.
 It was the rise in the price of cotton that made blockade running profitable to English ship owners. The cargoes were sent out to Bermuda or Nassau and there transferred to the fast
