The above was at a period when
the panic of 1903 was subsiding,
therefore the prices must have
been lower than those which are
quoted above.
But returning to our local banks,
the presidents are each amply
able, and more, to protect every
dollar of deposits in their respect
i've banks and they are willing to
underwrite these liabilities at any
time necessary. One of these
gentlemen confded to us the fact
that be is worth more tnan the
entire deposits of his bank, and
that he would at any time secure
any deposition wholly and entirely
satisfactory. The other presi-
dents are practically enjoying the
same character of financial stand
ing and also vouchsafe that they
will in like manner secure any
liability their banks may have.
We have these facts from. re-
liable authority, and thus it is to
be seen how the banks Of the city
and county are prepared for a f.
nancial crisis. One of the good
features growing out of the stu
alton is that our people are accept
ing the situation phiIosophicalIy.

but little as q result and feels very

ocrat.
New York banks, and banks Of other
cities, may fail or suspend their BUSH
ness, but the local banks continue to

no cause for alarm or uneasiness. Sa-

The financial panic that dawned
upon New York City last week, as a
result of reckless speculation Is about
to pass over, and normal conditions
are returning with increased conf
dence in the banking institutions Of
the country. Not a single bank In
the South felt the furry, which is an
other evidence Of the fact that the
South is not as much dependent on
the East as formerly for money to
move the crops Of this section.-Dy-

OUR FINANCES SOLID.

As solid as the everlasting rocks
of Gibraltar are the finances Of Obi
on County banks. These remarks
are made adyisedIy. If by the re-
hottest possible accident New
York banks should sink every
dollar of exchange our banks have
on deposit there and the rest OF
the financial world should follow
to the brink of ruin, Union City
banks would stand invulnerable to
every attack made upon their faith
and credit.
We had occasion this week to
confer with every bank President
in Union City. We have also
well authenticated information
concerning their individual re-
sources. The books of the three
banking houses will show that
there are tangible net resources
covering three-fourths of the en-
tire deposits of these banks, every
dollar of which is subject to the
depositors claims.
But while all these things are
true the action Of the banks last
week was deemed advisable in or
der to prevent an injudicious and
inconsiderate attack upon them.
Bat this action was not taken
even until tAe banks everywhere
else had done so. There was re-
ally no necessity for it in Union
City, nor in the county, but since
it has been done conservative men
and hundreds Of them all over the
county have approved the move
ment.
In 1898 the banks here wealth
cred the gale without the slightest
injury. To-day they are many
times stronger and safer than dur
ing that panic. Stocks and secu-
rites were lower then than they
are now, or have been since that
time.
There are a few instances where
the railroads and industrials are
lower now, but the general aver
age is higher as the following
brief table will show.

THE Only WAY.

The banks of Union City and
Bank Of Troy have issued clearing
house certificates to the amount OF
s25, 900 to be used in lieu of cur
rency and bank notes. The presi-
dent of each of these banks has
signed these certificates as securi-
ties, viz: L. S. Parks, John I.
Walker, K. p. WhiteseIl, John
w. Bennett. These notes, and
others which may hereafter be is
sued, are to be used as money and
are redeemable in currency and
bank notes, or collateral sufficient
to cover the face value of the
notes. They are of par value in
exchange for produce. goods,
merchandise and acceptable for
deposit on account.
The certificates were issued to
relieve the scarcity of currency.
1t the Government is going to
lend itself to the practice of fur
nishing money to banks who spec
ulate on margins, Obion County
financiers are going to take care
of themselves, irrespectively of
Uncle Sam. Hereafter if Con-
gress doesn't pass some measure
revoking the privileges Of banks
which buy and sell futures on
change then we shall always fear
the coming of panic. If a great
majority Of Legislators we're not
spectators themselves dealers in
futures) a law of this kind would
have been in force years ago.
Something Of this kind must be
done. If not the people will de-
mand it, and the demand will be
made in such way that there will
be no doubt about it. Come on,
gentlemen; get on the square.
That's the right way and the only

CONSOLIDATION The
LAW OF TRApE

The tendency toward consolidation
is manifest In almost all lines OF
American commerce and manufac-
turing.
The tendency is clearly shown in
the boot and shoe business. In 1890
there were 20S2 factories In the
United States In 1905 the number
had fallen 70 1916. while the output
from the factories has grown from
$220.00o.000 in 1890 10 s320.0O0, 600 in
1905.
How long this process OF eliminat.
ing small concerns and throwing
business into larger establishments
can continue no one seems able to
conjecture. That there is limit is
certain and many lines have already
come very near TO H. The boot and
shoe business, though coming more
slowly, seems, nevertheless, 10 be
bound in the the same direction. The
end OF IL al is final monopoly
There is an advantage gained from
the division OF labor and use Of ma
emery IN the large factories Whal
