er. In a month he had it to $4,000.
All eyes in England were now
watching the Great South Sea Bub-

Sir Jcnn Blunt had now blown it to it's

getting uneasy, a general meeting was

of hope, now, but with men angry and
resentful. The hall could not hold one

gloomily outside.
Inside all was cheerfulness. Mr..

to be seen on the streets.
Another meeting was called. While
it deliberated, men were outside rush

and terror. Stock was being offered
at $500 and finding no buyers.
The meeting achieved nothing. THAI

THE GREAT SOUTH SEA BUBBLE

History should be to nation what
lifetime's experience is to man.
Yet seldom in the quest for riches do
we find the teachings of either re-
garded, such is the credulity of avar-
ice. And where in history, or in what
mans life, shall we find such an in
stance of it as in the story of the
South Sea company?
In the year I'LL, the government of
England, from it's recent wars, found
itself with a special navy and army
debt Of $50,OOO,O0O. A group of mer-
chants suggested that they be allowed
to take over and pay the debt as it fell
due. 1t was not altogether patriotism
on their part, as they were to receive
100000 in interest, and the COM
pany which they had formed was
granted a monopoly of trade in the
South Seas.
At the head of theSouth Sea Com.
pany was Sir John Blunt. A former
law clerk, he had the reputation OF
being most religious man. Man is
a sinful creture," he was often heard
to exclain. But avarice is the worst
sin of ALL"
Except for few doubters in Parlia
ment and in the Bank of England, ev
! erybody thought highly of the new
company's prospects. For were not
it's trading rights over the coasts OF
Peru and Mexico, places of inexhaust
IDLE wealth? English manufactures
had only to be taken to the natives
and ships would return with 100 times
the value in gold and silver. Such
was the popular belief.
=
to take over another of the country
debts, one for s15O0O0. Not without
protest, however On the floor of the
house of commons Robert Walpole
warned not only the legislature, but
the nation. at is a dangerous scheme, >
he said. 1T will lead to nothing but
stock jobbing. turning the minds OF
the people away from their usual oc
equations.
Sir John Blunt, the South Sea chair
!! man, scoffed at all such suggestions
and urged the country to subscribe
On the day the stock was opened to
the public, he had all sorts of rumors
circulated: the King of Spain was tC
grant the company free trading rights
in Peru and .Iexico. The company
was to get full control of the mines
there, and silver in England would be
as plentiful as iron. An investment OF
$500 in the South Sea company would
bring 81 900 in income.
The first week $500 stock was sell
ing for $4,000. Exchange Alley, where
scrip was being offered, was blocked
with carriages. 1t was impossible to
pass in the neighboring streets. The
share list filled up, and traffic in the
stock at once began.
For some reason it fell to $500.
Spain is going to exchange Peru for
Gibraltar" one Of Sir John Blunt's ru-
mors said, and at once it was back to
$4,000 and climbing up to $4,000. Sir
John now ordered his agents to bid for
