when redemption day came they
could not make good because there
We're so many in the same condition
that there was not enough of that
which is demanded IN the last resort
to go around There can be no douh,
ON this point The history Of every
depression in this country and IN
England conclusively establishes that
lack of basic money was at the bot
tom OF the difficulty. The talk OF
overproduction is twaddle The
world has never yet produced more
than its inhabitants can consume,
and when it happens that the pro-
ducer turns out more products than
he can sell il will always be found
that there is an obstacle In the way
of the consumer getting the things
produced and that he does not re-
frain from taking them because he
does not need or is unable TO use
them.
In 1899 this country produced o.
100000 tons OF pig iron; in the fol.
lowing year there was q panic, and
the quantity of pig iron turned out
fell OF greatly. Was that due 20
overproduction? Is it really true
that the people were not able to con-
sumo an output as great as that OF
the year named and that they re-
duoed their demand in 1S9s TO g.
100000 tons because they were over
supplied the year hefore9 II that
was the case. how does Il happen that
two or three years later consumption
began to increase at q lively rate. the
demand finally becoming so great
that, despite enormously enlarged
facilities for manufacturing. the mills
OF the country have not been able TO
keep abreast of itg During the year
drawing to a close the domestic CON
sumption will exceed that OF 1898
fourfold, but the population In the
interval has increased only about 80
per cent
The answer TO these queries Is
easily supplied We did not reduce
the rate OF our consumption of pig
iron SO per cent between 1899 and
1893 because we had more pig iron
than We could make use Of. but be-
cause we had not the money TO pay
for it We had been doing business
on the credit system. and the coun-
try was loaded up with obligations
which e could not redeem. The peo-
pie were seized with an inquring
mood and began 10 ask themselves

DEATH OF A PRINCE OF TRADEsMEN.
- Marshall Field, the merchant
prince" who was to Chicago what A..
T. Stewart was to New York, the
leader in magnitude OF industrial
achievement. died Tuesday, at the
precise age OF three score years and
ten. He was conspicuous instance
of what self.endeavor will do in at
tanning the top.round of the ladder of
success. He began life as a farmers
son, and his mercantile career as a
clerk in the city OF his adoption, fifty
years ago. His advancement was
rapid, and was conducted on system
belonging to himself. One OF his pecul.
iarities was his adherence OF debt.
He never borrowed money, never gave
q note or mortgage. never dealt 10
margins or stocks and always bought
goods with cash. He was q plain,
conscientious, public-spirited citizen.
His estate is estimated at 500, OOO, 900.
He was no tax .dodger, and paid on
from fifteen to twenty times the
amount returned by Rockefeller, Car.
negie, or the Astor or Vanderbilt
crowd. The name OF Field will be
perpetuated by his three grand-sons,
Marshall Field (third) Henry and
Gwendolyn Field, who will inherit the
most OF bis immense fortune,
