"Look Out tOr tbe Locomo

That tbl tirnety warning, aeen on a, mil
lion ctoeaways, it often unheeded Is' duly
attealed by a thousand corouei'a inqiieata
every year. But Ihe greatest calamity Ilia
has ever befallen through neglect of this
kindly admonition befell Wall street Ibe
otber day. A disaster so wide spread a lo
be national, and so lasting in It effect on
all circle of business that tbe opening buds
and blossom of tbe vernal equinox will
hardly see Ihe atrlngency ol tbe money mar
ket relieved.
nre in tbe United Slate a long career
of unexampled national proeperily I our
record. Year after year crop of every kind
all over tbe land were abundant and plan
tiful. Manufacturers, especially ol glen
aod iron, flourished. Merchant every
where transacted a Urge business sufficient
ly lucrative. A civil war seemed only to
multiply tbe resource of a great and grow
lug nation.
Tbe national banking system added lo tbe
volume of currency, and so far increased
tbe facilities for doing bualneis, as to en
large greatly internal trade aod traffic, aod
hereby cam Into protnioeoce tbe "Looo
motive." Transportation by mean of rail
road got Into great favor with ' tbe local
public for tbe advantages it offered to every
bamlet it passed, while to the stockholders
II was always regarded and represented a a
safe investment, while to Ibe bankers aod
brokers and cliques and ring who manipu
laled the stock, it was always an inexbtusi
Ible mine of wealth and resource.
Juat here, however, an evil began. Rail
road enterprises absorbed the floating capi
tal needed by tbe .merchant, tbe manufac
turer and producer. Bankers overreached
nemteive oy loaning immense sums to
corporationc with inadequate (ecnrliy. As
Ihe circulating medium can not be increas
ed at will, tbe collision of Interests resulted
in untold disaster, affecting lotimately every
legitimate and benrst pursuit In Ibe couo
try and Involving a multitude oi hapless
and Innocent parties in hopeless ruin, and
perhaps telling the band on Ibe dial ol
material progress Id tbl oouotry back for
some years.
Still Ibis collision or lb locomotive with
Wall Ureal speculator! and tbeir allies aod
abettor all over tbe United State I nol
likely to prove altogether an evil.
i no locomotive naa oi uie become erro
gaol and tyrannous. It had appropriated
tbe lion's (hare of eapi tal. Il bad laid
heavy Imposts and burdens upon Ihe people
It bad defiantly corrupted eur legislators ol
every degree Stale aod National. Il threat
ened to become ibe Caesar thai would de
prive os or our liberties either by a single
despotism or forcing us into anarchy.

pretty much rsaolved to run II off tb track
or lo take charge of II. But itrang to ay,f
much apathy prevailed and politician ot
II parties were only too willing to shut their
eye to tbe growing power and daring as

But bapty for mail tbe railroad menaoi
their friend bad not estimated tbe danger
of tbe crossing, tlnanolal or political, fully,
and tbe locomotive lies now in the ditcb and
makes it less necessary to look out fur tbe
looomotlve.
