TINE most notable event of Van
Buren's administration was the
occurrence of one of the great panics
from which in the nineteenth century
the country regularly collapsed every 10
or 20 years, as in 1919, 1887, 1851,
1873 and in 1893. Those periodic
prostrations always followed wild de-
bauches in speculation, but since it is
convenient and consoling to blame
some one else for Il own sins, the
president invariably has been made
the scapegoat in each period of hard
times.
No doubt Jackson's removal of the
public deposits from the United
States bank caused financial disturb
ance and his distribution of the FED
eral surplus among the state treasur-
les also was disturbing. The govern
ment, the banks and the people gen.
orally had all merrily Joined In SOW
ing the wind, whose harvest was the
whirlwind of 1887.
The nation had been indulging In
the first of its big western booms. The
river steamboat aided to open up new
regions, where mushroom states, in
ambitious emulation of New York and
its Erie canal, ran wild in appropria-
lions for the building of canals. Van

ride in a train eve part of the way
to Washington, and the expansion OF
the steam railway system was begin
ming to inf1ame the national imagi-
nation.
When the day of reckoning and re
morse came; when bread riots broke
out; when laborers stood in line near
New York to get jobs at a wage of
81 a month and board; when banks
suspended payments In coin, and when
business houses were tumbling into
bankruptcy, the bankers and business
men, who had always been violently
anti-Democratic, turned upon Van
Buren, and pointed their accusing fin
gers at the White House. The fore
most man of business in conservative
New England, Abbott Lawrence, did
ing in Boston, the %incendiary sugges-
ton that the time might come for
forcible resistance to the government,
when the crew, as he said, would have
to mutiny and seize the ship of state.
Van Buren, faced the gale without
bending. He rose above political
~maneuvering and the temptation to
flatter the mad passions of the hour
and preserved an attitude of mas
terful inactivity!
extra session, but only to recommend
the adoption of the sub-treasury sys-
TEN. The banks having failed, he pro-
posed that Uncle Sam, like a timid old
woman, should lock up his money in
the bureau drawer. And the economic
folly of the sub-treasury was persisted
in until the establishment of the fed
eral reserve system.
1t was squally weather all around
with the costly Seminole war dragging
its slow course through the malarial
everglades of Florida with embarrass-
ing revolutions on both sides of us,
in the revolted Mexican province OF
Texas and in Ontario.
The defeats of the Democratic tick.
ct in the off years plainly foreshadow-
ed the ill-starred presidents W de-
feat in his candidacy for reelection
in 1910. No prophet was needed to
write the refrain of the popular cam
paign song Of the Wings:
Van! Van!
Is a used up man.
Nevertheless Van Buren, remained in
active politics 10 years. For still an
other 10 years he lived on in retire
ment at Underwood, his country estate
In his native village, where he died
In the midst of the Civil war.
