BENEFITS OF PANIC.
Sometimes Can Be seen to Offset
the Harm They Do.
Fron the Wan street Journal

IRON the Wan street Journal
During the panic OF 1S73 President
Grant said that the direct injury caused
BY the panic 10 private individuals would
be more than compensated by the large
public benefits
In large sense this IS true OF ell
pan.cs Fearful as are the losses en-
tailed by these financial coavulsior.s.
they have certain indirect benefits OF
large value They are our days OF reck-
oniug. They are times OF settlement
They are periods OF reorganization They
are housecleauiug days when The bush
ness OF the country is put in order. They
stop the process Of Generalization They
check IMMORAL and dishonest practices
which but for the commissions Of panic
would have continued IN secret for IN
definite periods They put an end 10
unhealthy imitation and put the business
Of the country upon a more substantial
basis.
All this is done at a fearful cost. and
at great injury TO countless individuals.
many Of them absolutely innocent Of any
wrongdoing- After the panic has passed.
however. and the settlements have been
made. the situation IS all the better for
the hOusecleaning process which has
taken place.
Moreover. panics serve 70 clear the
sky Of many popular misconceptions
They serve 20 change the public point OF
view 20 many important questions. They
bring into clearer sight the relation OF
one thing to another. and they thus
have a valuable educa tional effect upon
the country. For instance. but for the
panic of 1888, the settlement Of the sil-
yer question would have been long de-
iayed- But for the panic Of 1897 we would
not have the present national discussion
Of the problems Of banking and currency;
a discussion which is likely to bear fruit
in substantial reorganization and reform.
and which has already brought about a
marked Improvement IN financial meth
DDS. Moreover, the panic Of 1877 has
served TO check what has become a Sc
rious wave Of socialfstic attack on rights
OF property and the profits Of invest
melTS.

THE RISING TIDE
of Business Floating Fortune High
in All Parts of the Country.

From TIE Portland O7eSorian-
It IS indeed sad and depressing news
that comes to the managers OF the Bryan
party-the news that business Is resuminE
its wonted activity IN nearly all parts OF
the country, that Industrial establish
ments are Increasing their forces. and
that many thousands OF men who have
had little 10 do for several months are
finding employment again.
The simple fact IS that the reverse Of
last October vas merely a financial
panic. brought about by over-speculation
through a series Of active and productive
years. It didn't grow ar all out OF any
impairment OF the vital forces OF indus
try and production. nor any serious faII
Of the prices Of staple commodities. nor
any actual scarcity OF money. for there
was money enough; but people OF small
means took alarm, demanded their de-
posits. and locked them up
Money IS now coming forth freely again
This means that people are buying and
consumption is Increasing Il calls for
increase Of production and larger en-
ployment Of labor But the managers
OF the Bryan campaign undoubtedly had
been hoping for better things" TIL after
the election.
