Talk:Panic of 1893

message: For goodness sake, the bibliography takes up more space than the actual article content.  That's got to be some kind of record.  --JW1805 (Talk) 02:10, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It really is absurd and very unbecoming of the article. Could the frequent contributors narrow it down to just a handful? Or better yet, add citations to the article and only include cited works at the bottom? Boubelium 08:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Scholarship is in fact based on sources. There's an advantage for users who can use the bibliography to do write papers on the topic. Many of the items are online and accessible at colleges. Rjensen 01:46, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The economy just wasn't as strong in the 1890s as the 1930s. There were no charitable institutions that could take up the slack and no local government ones either. When the local government had problems (and they did), all small gifts of food or clothing stopped. People literally starved to death (which they seldom did during the "Great" Depression). There were charities/soup kitchens then that took up the slack. Student7 (talk) 11:59, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Need new article to point to from here on "bi-metalism", use of both gold and silver as a standard (perhaps other past examples besides the US). Other articles need to link to this new article as well. Student7 (talk) 02:16, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Follow the bimetallism link. It explains all. I was surprised that the country had been bi-metal until 1873, and mono-metal afterwards. Student7 (talk) 14:54, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Article says that middle class could not meet their mortgage obligations. How much of a middle class was there? Did Americans even have mortgages generally back then in that number, even in the middle class? Mortgages in for the masses are a somewhat modern invention, I thought.

message: I obtained the book cited in reference 7, seeking to verify it and obtain further detail. While it does discuss unemployment on page 109, estimating it at 17-19%, there is no discussion of abandoned houses. Elswhere in the book, there is discussion of building construction, but not broken out by use (residential vs. other); I found no mention of building abandonment.  The work is heavily focused on development of quantitative measures from limited contemporary sources, and a discussion of cultural issues would be severly inconsistent with the tone of the work.

message: Even before back before this, economics wise whatever happens in the United States also effects Canada. It was the same in Ontario, and probably Quebec too. Many Railroad companies went bust during this time. Many that were just started or were very young went bankrupt...and was the probably the first round of mergers of railroad companies.69.165.153.200 (talk) 05:27, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

message: What is an "External reference"? If it's used as a source for this article, it needs to be cited inline and put in the "References" section. I find this section heading confusing and would like to revert it back unless some of these actually are being used as source material. See WP:LAYOUT. Kendall-K1 (talk) 13:41, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

message: I found this handy chart from here  that shows the American GDP per capita for the whole of the 19th century. The graph clearly demonstrates the devastating effect the Panic of 1893 had on the American Economy. I feel like the graph would be a perfect addition to the article, as more statistics than simply unemployment rates would be helpful here. However, I am concerned about the copyright implications of using it, so would anyone please care to help me out on Wikipedia's copyright rules a little? Maybe I should email the author of the original article, asking him for permission? Holden3172 (talk) 00:11, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
