THE PANIC OF 1873 AND 1893.
If ,T. Ham. Lewis is not more correct in^his other state
ments than he is in accounting for the panics of 1873 and 1893
he should attend a kindergarten for few evenings. The panic
of 1873 was due to a too swift calling in of greenbacks—the only
money the people in the east had seen for ten years.
They were called in so rapidly that there was not sufficient
circulating medium on which to do business. They never have
had' enough since. That is what causes business to drag todav.
The panic of ’93 was brought on purposely by the interest
gatherers of New York City, to supply as excuse to President
Cleveland to bulldoze his demand that the purchasing clause of
the Sherman law be repealed through congress.
They did not really mean to bring the panic, only to give
the country a big scare to help the president in his contemplated
course. They soon found, however, that they had started a
storm that they could not ride or control.
They achieved what they wanted and' then though the
treasury was full of standard dollars which were a perfect
tender for debt, they rushed greenbacks upon the treasury and
drew gold in lieu of them until they supplied the president and
’Mr Carlisle with an excuse for selling $250,000,000 bonds,
which by the way the country is still paying interest upon.
There may have been incidents in history of a meaner be
trayal of a generous people than was seen in our country in
1873-74, but it will take a historian a long time to find it.
-:o:
SUFFERING OF SUBMARINES.
In view of the fact that perhaps nine-tenths of the mem
bers of congress have made up their minds that wholesale sub
marine construction is the solution of the problem of national
defense and in view of the further fact that there is going to
be a regular submarine brainstorm on the boards in Washing
Ion when congress reconvenes, it becomes interesting to know
that the navy department has run chock up against a mighty
big obstacle in the development of the submarine program and
that is in reference to safeguarding the health of the men who
will constitute the personnel of the underwater boats
Naval surgeons have had their attention attracted to the
problem and a thorough inquiry has been instituted, designed
to establish the causes of the unfortunate conditions and' the
remedies that may be brought to apply. Thus far, it must he
admitted, the inquiry lias been busier with the causes than
with the remedies. It has demonstrated the fact that the most
common ailments of which tin* men are subject are tonsilitis,
rheumatism and gasoline poisoning. Despite the hardships to
which the men arc subjected and the temptation occasionally
to escape them, malingering practically is unknown among
them.
When the boat is submerged the interior, especially in
northern waters, frequently becomes bitter cold. The steel
sides of the ship conduct the heat radiated from the bodies of
the men to the surrounding waters. It is impossible to dress
warmly enough to overcome the effects of this radiation. rlhe
only heat in the boats is from the electric stove and from the
energy given off as heat from the engines and motors, and fre
quently it is impossible to spare enough power to run the elec
tric heaters. In some of the boats, as in those of the D and E
classes, there is no cork sheathing, the sides are often covered
with condensation and the humidity is raised to a high point,
creating a damp cold, which cuts to the bone. When the
clothes of the men become damp or wet there is no method of
drying them. All this tends to lower the body’s resistance and,
coupled with the effects of relatively impure air, is particularly
conducive to the propagation of pulmonary diesase.
When the boats are under way the men seek the deck for
fresh air, hut there is no deck shelter anil they are constantly
exposed to wind and water. The treatment aboard submarines
of the sick is regarded by the invesigating surgeons as out of
the question. They must lx* removed to hospitals at once, as
the facilities for caring for them on the ship are deplorably in
adequate. The report is not ready, but the inquiry is consid
ered a highly important one and will furnish a clear insight
into the dangers and discomforts which the designers of the
new American U-boats are expected to obviate.
EDITORIAL COMMENTS.
Col. Bryan as plenipotentiary of the foreign language news
paper editors to the courts of Europe suing for peace, would in
deed he an envoy extraodinary.
“Hops look good,” says a headline, but it didn’t refer to the
“lame duck,”’ the “fox trot,” the ‘‘sick pig” or the ‘‘frog
dip.”
The fellow with the mumps isn’t apt to endorse the senti
ment that all’s well that ends swell.
One way to end war for all time would be to authorize con
scription of money as well as life.
The sharper the price cutter’s knife the keener the bargain
hunter.
