"While the acute stage of the finan-

of cash payments by banks 1t will be a
year before the former status of busi-

confidence of the people, when so Sc
verely shaken, can be restored only by
lapse of considerable time. Whatever
the conditions the present panic So
called could not become seriously far
reaching or long-continued for two
reasons: one is that the American far
mer was never in such prosperous cir
oumstances the country over and no
panic can long prevail against such
conditions. The other reason is that
large organizations of capital, So
called, and much abused trusts have
been in position by cooperative ef-
fort to uphold the business of the
