KLXT PANIC DTIE III 1913.
By Prof. Joseph F. Johnson.
If an Industrial crisis Is on the slate It. will,
in all probability, not come before 1!13. That
would seem an appropriate year. In England
there Is a panic nlsjut every ten years, In tho
United State every twenty jsnirs. During the
last ten yettrs prices have rleen 12 ls-r cint,
while the amount of money has increased 70
per cent. During tlr.it sumo time tho national
bunks have Incrcuscd their Ju.in and discounts
two billion to four billion three hundred million dollars,
an Increase of 113 per cent. Meantime the rewrves have
been reduced from 10 per cent to 13 jier cent.
Wages have not gone up ns rapidly us prices have risen,
and therefore un increase In wages should Ik; made. If
people are to purchase goods at fitting prices they must
have higher wages. I do iuit say tliis -from any humani
tarian motive, but from the ffliowledge
that If prosperity Is to Increase we must
money earned to the common lieoplc.
I believe that the old United States
tabllsbod to advantage if & new charter
Bank of France were conferred upon It. If
find twelve honest flnauclor for the president
to manage- It affairs, thon I think we
a panic. If an Industrial crisis Is on
all probability, be Uke that of 1807,
which the country recovered almost
year. The most serious factor In the present (Situation
Is the loss ef confidence occasioned by the break In Wall
jKreet There Is a popular Impression that Wall street
discounts future events, and that the March panic means
that railroads will be forced to cut dividends within a
year or two.
FAIR DEALING IN RAILROAD HATTERS.
By Gov. Charles B. Hushes ot New York.
I am fully conscious, as Is every
one who profses to have a modi
cum of Intelligence, of the tremen
dous advantages which the country
and every community in it have de
rived from the extension of our rail
road facilities.
They are the arteries of com
merce; our communities would be
lifeless, our trade would collapse, we
would all be worse than dead were
It not for these opportunities of
communication and these facilities
of transportation.
, We honor all that has been done In
jV7W'.
v'
oov. c k. hughes, a just effort to make these possible.
We want more ; we want extension ; we want greater
facilities. We want every opportunity afforded to enable
the people to remove their produce, and we want fair
treatment to those who nre engaged In this very necessary
activity.
Yet It Is said that, despite the prosperity of the coun
try and the great benefits that have been derived from
the extension of our transportation facilities, there Is a
state of unrest; that there Is a general condition of dis
content throughout the country. Why? I it because of
extension of means of communication? Will any one
suggest to an Intelligent audience that American citlrejis
are In revolt against their own prospexitrj
What they revolt against Is dishonest finance. What
