shooting was reported from different
sections. Near Fourth and Tennes-

of which struck residence on the

lives near the corner, notified the po-

sent out, but failed to find the guilty

Why We Have Panics.

"Some lessons of value,
therefore, are to be learned,
and among them are these:
The belief has been deeply
cultivated that a money sys>
tenn strongly resting on gold
makes 'panics impossible. It
is a false notion. The belief
has had wide acceptance that
a high protective tariff pros
tects from panics which come
only under low tariffs. That
is quite as false as the other.
The belief prevails to agreate1
or less that a particular polls
tical party possesses the ex~
elusive power of governing
the country in freedom from
financial disaster and indus
trial 1elapses. That is even
more false than either of the
other beliefs. Panics or fl
sancial crises, are made pos
tible only by the existence of
the credit system, and the
credit system exists under the
gold standard as under any
other money standard, and
it is in operation whether tar
ifs are high or low, or wheth-
er the Republican party is in
or not. "-SpringfeId

FOREIGNERS uAfRoF!TABLE.
Brought Only I$27,393,7 60 Into This
Country and Took Away $40. 600 900.

New York, Jan, More
than $40, go, 600, or almost
enough to build the Panama
canal, was taken out of the
United States in 1907 by tie
unprecedented outward rush
Of emigrants.
10 learn the approximate
amount carried home by r.. =
turning foreigners in the last
year the North German Floyd
Steamship Company has made
a careful computation, based
on figures furnished by
steamship agents, money
changers and others in a po~
sition to be informed.
Ali the sources questioned
agree that the average sum
is about 5000 per capita. Of
course, some aliens have a
great deal more, while others
have less. On the basis of
the $50, 045 emigrants who
went home from this country
last year, each having $500,
the currency Of the country
was contracted to the extent
Of S11o, 900, 600. It is also to
be noted that to get home
foreigners were compelled to
pay an aggregate of SIS, 900, =
900 in railroad and steamship
transportation and other
charges.
As an offset to the S11o,-
600, 600 taken out must be
counted the actual money
brought in by immigrants.
The Commissioner General
Of immigration, after careful
inquiry, estimates that each
immigrant landing in the
United States has $40. On
this basis the 1854, 4S8 who
came in last year brought app
proAimately 1927, 1853, 100.

as a strict gain to the coun-
try, as much Of it was origin

DUAN'S ANNUAL REVIEW
The Farm Products for 1907 Were Valued
at Seven Billion Dollars.

The withdrawing of $685.
900, 900 from a few large trust
companies, precipitating a
season boarding and sending
currency to a premium when
it was most needed, through~
out the country, is credited
in r. e. Dun & Co.'S annual
review of trade with having
been one Of the great factors
III turning the year 1907 from
its promise of new records III
prosperity to the closing per>
iod Of financial disturbance
that eau ed many plans for
future extensions of business
to be either abandoned or
postponed.
The restoration of normal
conditions, the review de>
clares, depends upon easier
money and a revival of con-
fidence, both Of which seem
nearer today than at any
time since October, when the
stringency began. While
failures were frequent during
the last quarter Of the year,
the review points out that if
the comparison is carried
back to previous periods
there is much cause for cons
gratulations in the insolvency
returns. The review says in
part:
"Aithough in many cases
the size Of crops in 1907 fell
below some preceding years,
high prices made the return
to the farmer much larger
than ever before. To some
extent short crops in other
countries accounted for the
high prices, notably in the
case of wheat, for which
foreigners were willing to pay
more than a dollar per busLel
during the closing month.
adding the value Of cot
ton, meats, dairy product
poultry, eggs, and all other
items raised by the agricul~
turist, the years total attains
the phenomenal value of ST.
400, 600, 900.
Cotton has ruled at a high
position throughout the year,
while the latest statistics of
the crop Indicate a yield Of
II, 900 bales, or 10 per
cent less than the high record
established in the various
year. The old crop year end
ed on August 81, with the
largest total ever harvested,
and with exports exceeding
all other years, except 1905,
as to quality, while the high
average export price of 1917
cents per pound this year
raised the total value S7O,~
600, 900 above the previous
high~Water~mark established
two years earlier, when the
average price was about two
cents per pound lower.
