troller of Currency Ridgely has pre-
pared New Years message to the
american public dealing with the re-

Will nave to be arranged and shall
nave to go through period of re-
trenchment and liquidation.
After we have paid our debts and
reduced our expenses the great re-
sources of the land will revive. Our

sible were the accumulated, composite

trading and expending, and nowhere
was this more rampant than in the
United States.
1T is impossible to exactly locate
the blame and say Just who should
bear 1t. One thing is certain. we
must endure together the results of
the panic and we all are vitally in
terested in mitigating its effects and
recovering from it's as soon as pos
sible, leaving a minimum of perman-
