HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
daniels County LEADER

daniels County Leader)
Files of newspapers and business records pertain
ing to financial chaos in America reveal some interest
ing facts which are worth considering.
These files and records show that since 1857
America has had eleven financial Expressions lasting
from eight months to thirty months each.
The depression of 1857 lasted IL months.
The depression of 1869 lasted s months.
The depression of 1873 lasted 80 months.
The depression of 1874 lasted % months.
The depression of 1884 lasted % months.
The depression of 1887 lasted 10 months.
The depression of 1893 lasted 25 months.
The depression of 1903 lasted rs months.
The depression of 1907 lasted IL months.
The depression of 1914 lasted s months and was
broken by the war in Europe which sent up prices in
America.
The depression of 1921 lasted Ia months.
The present depression has lasted 20 months, be-
ginning in October, 1929.
Following each depression there has been a
"boom" which has outlasted and surpassed each pre-
ceeding depression and boom. Some of our past de-
pressions were real panics when even federal warrants
were refused by the banks.
No such condition has prevailed during the
present depression and, while no one is ready to pre-
dict just when the depression will end, financial stat
isticians agree that it has reached bottom and that it is
now in its worst stage.
Every depression teaches a lesson, but the people
have short memories and the lesson is lost on most of
us. When times are good we never realize that there
will be a day of accounting, of balancing the books to
show what we have done with our time and our oppor-
tunities.
About twenty-five per cent of our people pay no
attention to what is going on other than to see to it
that our money 'buys a good time" Then when things
financial have become topsy-turvy we set back and
hollar like the hound sitting on the burr, and would
sooner hollar than move off of it.
The first one we can think of to blame is the
president. We direct our attacks at him and his polit-
ical opponents give us plenty of assistance in this. In
time we get TO believe he is our common enemy.
We laugh at the Indians who conduct their
snake dances to make it rain, or who engage in sun
dances to drive away sickness. We laugh at them be-
cause we think we're educated and know more than he
does. But do we? If we do we don't prove it.
However, there is more comfort in the fact that
history has proven that the more intense the depres-
sion the more flush are the times that follow.
Those flush times haven't started yet. But when
they do
