ENLIGHTENMENT.

We are slowly getting at the facts
bearing on the pending contraction OF
general business throughout the coun-
try, and these disclose the causes for
the continuance of what is termed the
panic. !"
In brief, the story as outlined in the
independent and unmuzzled press of the
country is this. The New York banks
found themselves in an embarrassing sit
uation, largely through their folly in
participating in speculative ventures.
Their first step was to keep the currency
in their vaults intact, and this included
millions which belonged to their CORE
spoHdeft banks throughout the South
and West. Clearing house certificates
were issued to prevent an outflow of
currency. These means averted disaster,
and protected-New York.
Then came the governments turn. Our
national authorities recognized that the
money stringency must be relieved as
speedily as possible, and to that end
twenty FIVE millions Of government funds
were deposited in New York, with the
understanding and the promise that the
loans OF the South and West due from
the New York banks should be re-
turned, as the cash was needed in their
businessl
A Al 1rt1 ~,
good faith that promise7
AS the Atlanta Journal and tine Phila-
delIIhia North American observe, all that
was done, not merely to save the New
York banks from embarrassment, but it
wa; done on the theory that New York
is the financial capital of the whole coun-
try, and that the additional currency
poured into New York would be dis
tributed throughout the regular channels
of business all over the country. 1t was
done in order that the New York banks
would not have an excuse for refusing
loans or holding on to the deposits which
the banks Of the South and West had
placed in the metropolis and which the
agricultural sections now needed to
move the crops.
But the New York banks held on to
the money and still holds on to it. The
millions poured in by the government
to afford relief, the fifty millions which
came from abroad, all this, all they could
get besides, is retained in New York so
that it can be loaned at exorbitant rates
of interest to local spectators!
AS the contemporaries remark: ut is
q sorry return for the self-sacri6ce of
the whole country in coming whole
heartediy to the relief of the great
money center. II is bad faith. amounting
to criminality, that New York should
take the money intended for the relief of
the whole country ana use it for its own
selGsh ends promoting speculative
nioven1eats while legitimate trade and
corjsnercc Is INSTRUCTED at the very foun-
tain head.

York find no difficulty in lending Mr..
