Nothing is moro common than to call every serious disturbance in the stock market, nui the produce market, and even in the curreney market, a panic, Perhaps these are In some songe a pantie, but they aro temporary, con- fined ton {imited class of persons, and do not affect the business of tho country gen- erally. Wo have at this time In uso inthis country, as-estimated by Controller Knox, some $1,490,000,000 of currency, consisting of gold, silver, greenbacks, and National-bank notes. There are estimated $52,000,000 In gold and ‘$178,000,000 in stlver, making an nggregateot $700,000,000 of metallic money, agninst almost. fin equal sum of paper money.. So long as this stock of metallic money continues in any. stitch abundance there ts not much danger of any panic from a scarcity of currency, or nny suct demand for gold and silver ts might lead. to 9 susponsion of specio pay- ments, Infaddition, the $36,000,000 green- backs are themselves legal-tenders and avall- able as debt-paylng cttrrency, ‘The panle, however, whielt ts filled with disaster fs that which results from an intia- tlon of credit, or the creation of debt beyond meansof payment. ‘This fs the one which fs to bo dreaded, and ogalnst which wise and prudent men must guard. Such was the panic ot 187%, At that UUme credit was expanded In every direction, Every man bought: beyond his, means, im-. miense enpital was sunk in raflroads and other unproiuctive property, and the mar- ket was filled with bonds and otherevidences of debt far beyond the valucof the proporty. Credit beenine exhausted, _ Tho currency of the country was depre- elated, and of gold and silver there was none inclreulution, The ndvyance tn tho value of the currency from a, dlscount of 13 or 15 per cont tended to squeeze tho manufacturers and debtors, compelling them to sell ona falling market, ‘Tho rush to reatize precip!- tated matters, and between the rise in the value of money and the decline In the valic of property credit ceased, and there was 0 genera!

All the outstand- ing Inflation of prices collapsed, lenving the debts to be paid, with property whoso shrunken valuo was wholly Inadequate for that purpose, After the punic the greenbacks continued to rise in value, making sales and settlements more difficull. It required sev- erat years of hard times to settle tho debts undor which credit sunk in 1873, When, will the next panic be? It will come when the country fs again submerged under inortgages and covered with debt; when actlye capital will bo withdrawn from busl- _] ness and invested at Inflated and fancy prices In railroud stocks and bonds; when it will be buried fn new and unprofitable rallrond and other schemes; when there will be sth ‘ail inflation of prices of products and of luvor that the doors will open to floods. of foreign ‘merchandise, nrresting ‘tho flow of gold to this country, and currylnd away the stock wehavoon hand. ~ - ‘The country is so fortified with coln that it canatand 2 considerable draln, and perhaps a gradual drain of It might have the effect of reducing the dangerous increase of specula- ton and Inflation which is vialble in all direc tons. ‘The. country is also better prepared now than in 187, because ull our currency Is on aspects basts, all the paper Is redeemable in coln, and the manufacturers and fitrmers are free from debt, compared with what they were {n 1873, ‘Thon the manufacturers ob- tained bonds, for their goods, on which. thoy obtalned lonns from the banks, and the crash was felt in every brauch of trade and pro- duction, : ‘The question when tho hext pante will be rests somewhat upon the answer of how much money the banks will lonn on bonds and stocks selling at 150 to 200, but whieh really ara not worth more than par.
