rushes and what was going on there.
At first he saw nothing at all. Then
among the Black Shadows he saw a
silver line. He knew that il was made
by some one swimming. 1t drew
nearer and nearer. and at last Peter
could make out brown head moving
toward him through the water.

softly.
Jerry stopped swimming and looked
toward the place where that voice had
come from. He thought he knew it.,
but he wanted to make sure. He
wouldn't trust his ears alone. You
see. Jerry is a wise little fellow. The

You haven't been to see me for a

Peter made a face at Jerry. Whats

Jerry chuckled. For one thing, it

only way to get things one wants

TINE most notable event Of Van
Buren's administration was the
occurrence of one of the great
panics from which in the 18th CEN
fury the country regularly collapsed
every Is or 20 years, as in 1919, 1887,
1857. 1873 and in 1898. Those period
ic prostrations always followed wild
debauches in speculation, but since it
is convenient and consoaing to blame
some one else for our own sins, the
President inva riably 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 disturbance,
and his distribution of the federal sur
plus among the state treasures also
was disturbing. The government, the
banks and the people generally had
all merrily joined in sowing the wind.
whose harvest was the WhirlWind of
1887.

a month and board: when banks sus-
pended payments in coin. and when
business houses were tumhling into
bankruptcy, the bankers and business
men. who had always been violently
anti-Democratic, turned upon Van
Buren, and pointed their accusing fling
ers at the White House. The fore
most man of business In conserya tive
New England, Abbott Lawrence. did
not hesitate to hint to public meet
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 arose above political
maneuvering and the temptation to
flatter the mad passions Of the hour
and preserved an attitude OF mas
terful inactivity! In his philosophy of
government, as in that of his oppon-
ents also, there was no solution or
the pressing problems. and he bluntly
wa rned the people not to look to the
helpless government for relief.
The president did call congress in
extra session, but only to recommend
the adoption of the sub-treasury sys-
TEN. The banks having failed, he
proposed that Uncle Sam, like a timid
old woman. should lock up his money
in the bureau drawer. And the eco
| nomic folly of the sub-treasury was
persisted in until the establishment
| OF the federal reserve system.
It was squally weather all around
with the costly Seminole War drag
| ging its slow course through the ma
larial evergla des of Florida: with en-
| barrassing revolutions on both sides
of US. in the revolted Mexican prov
inces Of Texas and in the British
province of Ontario. Although he had
appealed to the sober second thought
OF the people"-a phrase which he
popularized-they mistook his indie
pendence for indifference. and from
mouth to mouth passed the false story
OF a cold and naughty aristocrat in
the White House, eating from gold
spoons and disporting himself with
English servants, horses and car
riages."
With a New Workers more luxuri-
Gus tastes the White House did take
on a somewhat different air during
Van Buren's tenancy, but without the
extravagances that were charged to
him by his political opponents. I'm
til his eldest son, Abraham, brought
a bride to the mansion-a cousin of
Dolly Madison-only the sons of the
president lived with him. The best
remembered OF these. Prince John"
Van Buren,, really able lawyer and
distinguished figure in society, coined
an election day slogan that has car
ried more than one contest at the
polls: Vote early and vote often"
The defeats of the Democratic tick
cts in the off years plainly fore-shad-
owed the ill-starred presidents own
defeat in his candidacy for reelection
in 1870. No prophet was needed to
write the refrain of the popular cam
paign songs of the Wings:
Il Van! Van,
Is a used up man.
Nevertheless Van Buren, remained
in active politics 10 years. as will be
recorded In later chapters. For still
another 10 years he lived on in re-
tirement at Underwood, his country
estate in his native village, where he
died in the midst of the civil war.
