in close ratio to consumption. This
served to obviate the piling up of
stocks of surplus goods and high
priced inventories. AS a result there
was a lack of distress" goods on the
market, and an absence of forced
bargain sales and price cutting.
Neither did producers, manufacture

and in consequence buying urge was

Price levels did move upward, but in

so they were moderate. Bradstreet's

then explained that he had not eaten

In 1885 Morse joined the teaching
staff Of New York University and
conducted experiments IN room in
the building. There, says S. /.
Prime, Morse's biographer, he vent
through the year 1886. probably the
Longest year in his life, giving lessons
to pupils in the art of painting while
his mind was in the throes Of the
lgreat invention.
Instrument Is Demonstrated.
In September of 1887, Morse and
Leonard Gale. colleague who assist
ed in perfecting the code. demonstrat-
ed the instrument to Alfred Vail, a
student whose father owned the
4 Speedwell Iron Works at Morristown,
IN. ]. The three formed a partner
ship and conducted further expert
ments at the iron works on money adj
vanced by the elder Vail.
Morse then set out for Washington
to interest Congress in appropriating
money to build telegraph line. The
bill was referred to the committee on
appropriations and was reported out
favorably. Congress, however, failed
to pass the measure, and Morse was
again forced to support himself by
teaching as the Walls had lost great
deal Of money in the panic Of 1887.
Four years later Morse secured suf-
ficient money to come to Washington
to again appeal to Congress. The bill
appropriating $4,000 passed the
House and had yet to pass the Senate
q On March 8, the last day Of the SEES
sion, the Senate had not reached the
bill. Morse sat in the Sentae gallery
until nearly midnight, when the SEES
sion would close. He was assured by
his friends that his bill would not be
reached, SO he returned to his hotel
broken in spirit.

When Morse came down for break
