There is a limit to our capacity to lend clearing house certificates upon securities, but l am convinced that if the government at Washington will take the first step. then We can move off in time with that step, and in that way begin to check the pan ic
 "I made a little wager with one of my banker friends. I bet him that if President Cleveland called an extra session of congress to repeal the Sherman silver law-which was the cause of the trouble-then on that very day we would notice a decrease in the demand for clearing house cer- tificates Furthermore, I stipulated that if the house of representatives, in a special session called by MT. Cleveland. should repeal the sherman law, we would instantly notice heavy decrease in the demand for clearing house certificates; and I also declared that if congress should re- peal the Sherman law. the demand for certificates would cease within week
 Well, when President Cleveland summoned congress into special ses- sion In August of that year, we saw at once that the climax of the demand for certificates had been reached. That meant that little confidence was returning. When the house of representatives repealed the Sher- man law, some two weeks later, the demand for certificates fell off heav- fly. in the six weeks that the senate was fighting to prevent repeal the de mand ceased almost entirely and the banks began to take up their securi- ties by depositing certificates. On the day that the senate adopted the re- peal, practically every dollar of certi- ficates had been redeemed, and the day after President Cleveland signed the repeal law every dollar had been redeemed.
 My friend cheerfully paid the bet had won, and he agreed with me that this was the greatest object lesson showing how vital is the part confi- dence plays in modern business and banking-we had ever known in the United States"

Tribute Amused Voorhees

in which Blue Jeans" Williams was the Democratic candidate for gov. ernor, in 1876.
 None of these campaigners, how eyer-and it used to be said in Indi- ana not all of them put together gained and held such vast crowds as did Daniel w Voorhees,, who already had become widely known as the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash"
 During the campaign a barbecue was held in one of the towns of the southern part of the state. The an nouncement was made that Thomas A. Hendricks, who had been governor and United States senator, would ad- dress the meeting, and that Joseph F. Mcdonald, then chairman of the Dem. ocratic state committee, and newly elected United States senator, also would speak. The people came into town by thousands and all business was suspended Eight hundred maid ems. wearing simple dresses Of blue jeans, made a most impressive spec taele, They symbolized, in that way. the popularity of Blue Jeans" Will. Hams.
 Senator Hendricks spoke The vast throng listened patiently and respect fully, without making any special demonstration. Then Senator McDon. aid was introduced. The people of Indiana liked to hear Mcdonald, es- pecially if his address were not very long. He spoke soberly, earnestly. and to the minds of his hearers, not to their passions or emotions.
 Far back on an improyised platform sat the Tall Sycamore of the Wa bash" His head was plainly visible. overlapping those of all the others who were seated on that platform. There were occasional calls for Voor- hees, but he paid no heed to them, for it was not his time to speak At last, the chairman rose to present their distinguished fellow citizen, Dan- iel w. Voorhees,, saying that he need ed no introduction. Instantly that great throng let free it's restrained emotions. For some moments Voor- hees stood patiently and calmly re- ceiving these tributes. Then he raised his hand and the storm of applause ceased suddenly The silence was im- pressive by reason of it's contrast to the vociferous acclaim of a moment before
 Voorhees, had just opened his mouth to speak when a farmer who sat in the first or second row of improvised benches rose, and, turning to the great audience, shouted, in a high, squeaky voice:
 And now, feller citizens, we are go- ing to have what we've been waitin' these two hours for. We are going to have some speechifyin' that means business!"
 Voorhees, could not contain himself He burst into laughter The great au- dience was convulsed, and yet it showed it's approval of those plain. spoken sentiments. When quiet was at last restored Voorhees, did give them some speechifying that count ed and of this demonstration Senator Mcdonald afterward said that it was without exception the greatest tribute to stump speaker he had ever seen or heard, and that Dan Voorhees, did justice to it in his speech.

TRY FERRO-CEMENT ROADS
France Have Been Highly Successful.

"Ferro-cement" roads are being ex- perimented with in France The sub stance is made of cement mixed with straw To make a slab or block of ferro-cement, a mass of iron-straw is placed in the mold, and there is poured over it cement sufficiently fluid to penetrate into all the interstices of the iron and completely cover it. When the whole has set, the core of iron thus intimately incorporated gives to the block a great resistance to break age and to traction, at the same time furnishing elasticity to compression which enables it to stand superficial shocks. A brick of ferro-cement 3-5 inches thick has supported during crushing tests, a pressure of about 65 tons to the square inch In breakage tests, the resistance was quadruple that of ordinary cement. Resistance to wear was no less remarkable.

Frederick D. Tappan's Account of How He Won a Bet on the Resto- ration of Public Confidence by
 Repeal of Sherman Law.

If the inner history of the so-called Carlisle panic of 1893 were recorded, l presume no story ever written which has to do with financial matters would be found to contain more dramatic and sensational details" said the late Frederick D. Tappan, the fnancier who, in 1896, induced the New York city banks to loan $20,000,O ,O00 in gold to the United States to avert a tinan cial upheaval
 You know that the Carlisle panic was really a money famine. It was caused by the fear that MT. Carlisle, as secretary of the treasury under President Cleveland, might be com pelled to do what he avowed publicly he might have to do-pay all the ob legations of the government in silver There was practically suspension of money payment by the banks of the United States.
 The Clearing House association of New York and those of other cities felt that it was imperative that they should take some action. It was spoken of as wonderful thing that the committee of the New York Clear ing House association, which had charge of accepting securities from the banks and of issuing clearing house certificates upon these securi- ties, should have been able to pass in- stant judgment upon the value of these securities although we were accepting them by millions. You see, we were obliged to say, when securities were brought to us, what the value of each kind of security was; then, having established the value, to allow a prop CT margin, and then to issue clearing house certificates to the bank which offered these securities, these certiti- cates being good in payment of bal ances "t the clearing house.
 But l can tell you a much more dramatic and important circumstance than that with which the public was made familiar through our ability in stantly to estimate security values, and it reveals the great part that con- fidence plays in all business.
 The panic was caused by an iE-
