HARD TO CHECK.

Nothing short of war. pestilence or
famine should check such a condition
and yet without any of these causes it
is invariably checked in this country
after a few months duration. Is it
merely coincidence that this has Oc-
Cured in each case a few months after
an abnormal advance in the price Of pig
iron, or is there some connection hC-
tween the two? Is one the cause and
the other the effect? This is at Least
a clue-let us follow it. In the centre
of growth in this country iron advanced!
from $40 to $50 a ton in 1854 from SIS
to $7j in 1864: from S35 to $50 in 1872:
from 500 to $40 in 1880; from 80 to Sl7
in 1850, and iron which was sold a few,
months ago at So in Alabama is sell
ing at 81 today, with an advancing
tendency and a visible supply of but
six days production"
Iron is the chief factor in our great
est enterprises and most of them pay
So small a margin OF profit that when
the price of iron rises 100 per cent. or
more these enterprises have to stor.
The end does not come suddenly, for
the large buyers of iron carry several
months supply, hence the general pub
lie does not connect the rise in price
the shutting down several months
later. The shutdowns soon increase in
number however; business slackens,
failures increase and a panic is the
ultimate result. 1t is plain that what
ever is responsible for stopping great
enterprises and for the discharge of
