Khir. JuIneS w. van Cleavc, PRESIDENT
,of3 the National Association OF Manu-.
sfaetarers, has given out some very In.
lteresting ideas on. the subject, "Why
We Need Not Fear n Panic" He
takes up the periods OF depression In
1885, 1897. 1857, 1873 and 1893. and
shows that none OF the conditions Of
those times are duplicated now. He
shows that there has been no recent
crop failure. no adverse balance of
trade, no gold drain to Europe. no
shortage in revenues. no menace OF
any sort or from any quarter. The
+ recent furry was simply due TO en-
scitement over stringency In New
York. In summing up these con.
ltrasts he says:
The differences between the present
conditions and those which prevailed
here during former financial disturb.
ances are striking and decisive. More
trade Is carried on now than was
done then. even in proportion TO popu.
