many tramps ? Tn. all of it. the sub- . :
stantia' facts - in the caie. seem to be .
a' fnost wholly overlooked. What'
caused the crash, as" it is called, of
1873, which to so great an extent .
prostrated all blanches of industry,
and, in its effects, filled the. land. with
unemployed labor? It could . .not
have.been eadsed by the fiXing Of a
definite time for - the resumption .of
specie payments, for that was not
done_tintil 1875, two years after the

been a lack of sidlicient .- careiihtting

ume of that f 873-4 was greater
than at any previous period:
In 181;2 the paper circulation (all

ing the gold and-silver coin in the
country at that tinve,.estimated at
$100,000;00(1, would make the entire

possible. that the crash of 1873 could

445 tons of rolled iron. The fprei#
importation of pig iron in 1870 was
(coin valuation) $2,509,280, and of
TO-
led iron $l-15146,085 and in .1873-
it was W,847,281 of pig iron, and
$27,218,258,0f rolled, iron. Thus
from 1870 to 1873 the home product
of vig and rolled iron. wasl ahnost,
doubed, and the foreign impOrtotion
AlmOst; trebled.- The Increase in the
production of iron . itl . the one year
from 1871 to 1872 was, greater- than
for the ten preceding years, and with

ER.DUCTION ) OE A:NTH - RA(ISE COAL.
The g,gre ate ptcduction of anti'.
tacite:csal n 1870 was 15,542,380,
tons,•and in, i 1873 it was 21,689,650

5,136,486 tons; , jog an inereas in
this one year equa • lmost to the en

ten years preceding .1. 70. 'he ag

the ategate pOoducti n ,• 1876
Was alm kt - 1,000,000 t ns less than
in 1874. ; \ , .
'To mine anthracit coal and distri \
bute to the consnin requires, on an
average, about tbkir days' work per:
ton. The products lln of 1874 would,
therefore, require 7,5? - 13,540days less
than, the production Of • 1873, and
a corresponding reductinn for the
lessened product, of 1876.\ In the
production of iron, it is. estimated.
that live days' Work, on an rivi•ige,
are required. to produce ' k a ton
of iron, including the labor of mining,
and smelting tlul ore. As, the pro
duct of rolled ,iron alone in 1874 was
1241,885,t0ns less limn in '187:3, 63:4-
525 days' work less-rwould be . requir

single article. In the prodoetion of
anthracite coal and: rolled iron alone,

So an every other branch -of . .

people to con4urne. for there, , can
ne - no question, that the ability to
buy in 18:3, the bear of the crash,
was as great as in' any preceding
year. War consumption and war de
struction gave the first impulse do
enlarged production, and increased
the demand . and Tnhanced pride
of everything. • An expathled cur
