WHEKE
AT TKB time that the speculative
frenzy of "Wall street "was respond
ing instantly and freely to the many
propositions of capitalists and others -who
"were perfecting Industrial combinations
or trusts, as they are sometimes called,
A. Barton Hepburn, vice-president of one
of the larger banks of New York, felt
that the moment was opportune to sound
a note of warning.
His long experience as a hanker, and
especially as the Controller of the Cur
rency (which is the administrative au
thority over tho National banks of the
United States), and the accuracy with
which many of his earlier predictions had
been fulfilled, caused much attention to
be paid to the few cautious, careful and
moderate words which he spoke. It
jseemed to him that the country was ad
vancing too rapidly for the capital that It
possessed. He thought that the organiza
tion of industrials and tho expansion of
new capital ought for a time to be
checked.
"What he cold, while it attracted much
attention, did not seem- to affect the
action of any one who was busily en
gaged in manufacturing capital stocks
or In speculating the market or promot
ing the sale of new stocks Yet, what Mr.
Hepburn felt justified in saying in a few
words was echoed in a brief opinion ex
pressed by Russell Sage. Whatever Mr.
Sage says Is sure to fix, at least for the
moment, the attention of every one en
gaged in financial affairs. But there Is a
natural wonder whether a capitalist of
euch vast resources, and one especially
whose chief vocation is that of lending
money upon call, might not be tfcmpted
sometimes to express an opinion for the
purpose of Influencing the market. No
one can say Justly that Mr. Sage ever did
that, and yet what he says 13 usually
accepted with some reservation.
Concordance of Opinion.
A few weeks after Mr. Hepburn had
ventured tho cautious opinion, that there
should be a check to capital expansion,
one of his successors as vice-president of
the largest of American banks, as he was
also a successor of his "as an officer of
high authority in the Treasury Depart
ment, having been Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, In a more formal and em
phatic manner, at a public banquet and in
response to a toast, expressed exactly the
idea which both Mr. Hepburn and Mr.
Sage had thought It worth while to de
clare as their own.
This banker, F. A. Vanderlip, argued
with some detail that the surplus capital
of the country had been practically ex
hausted by the esnormous drafts that had
been made upon it in the past five or six
years, and that there could not be such
expansion without 'causing shock, demor
alization and, probably, disaster. What
each of these three widely-known finan
ciers predicted, the great money center of
the "United States, and, reactively, the
other money - centers, had been feeling
throughout 'the entire Summer.
During the period of the most severe
depression and excitement In New York
City, Mr. Hepburn was the guest of an
association of bankers In New England,
and to them made an address in which he
touched upon certain currency questions;
and, after that address, in a more infor
mal manner, added to what he then said
and what ho had spoken a year earlier in
the way of monition. He declared that,
in his view, it was probable, if not inevi
table, that there would be In general com
nnerce, business and Industry, a reaction.
Just as there had been In the world of
finance, stocks and speculation.
It was known in New York that this was
the opinion of many of the leading bank
ers, but 7iot any of them cared to express
it publicly. Mr. Hepburn was asked to ex
plain In some detail the financial condi
tions both of business and of corporations,
as well as of the currency situation, which
was in sorae'fealures so acute during the
Summer of 1903 that President Roosevelt
felt that he might be justified in summon
ing Congress into extraordinary session,
partly for the purpose of considering tho
currency subject.
Accumulation of Capital.
"When Mr. Hepburn was asked what was
meant by his statement that the -surplus
capital which had been so handsomely
accumulated In the last five or six years
had been absorbed, he replied:
"Soon after the country, in the great po
litical canvess of 1896, decided In opposition
to the financial dogmas with which Mr.
Bryan's name was Identified, there began
to be a reaction from the period of dis
tress and demoralization which character
ized the years from 1890 to 1896. In addi
tion to that, there were two or threo
years of most favoring crops, and the re
peal of the so-called 'Sherman silver law
In the Summer of 1893 had caused, confi
dence to some extent to be restored; but
it was not to be perfectly restored until
the peoplo of the United States had decid
ed, in a general election, whether there
was to be free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, or whether the
gold basis was to be established as the
permanent basis of our currency.
"It so happened that a year or two later
there came the announcement of the'dls
coveryvof enormous deposits of gold In the
w hole Alaska Peninsula; and almost coln
cidently with that there was a great In
crease in gold production in the United
States. Now all of these causes operated
to restore confidence, and, furthermore,
to stimulate trade and commerce. We
began to export our surplus products in
enormous quantities abroad. The appar
ent trade balance in our favor each year
for several years was In the neighborhood
of J500.000.000. Domestic Industry and trade
were very greatly quickened. The iron
and steel Industry responded most im
pressively to this new impulse.
Prosperity In the West.
"Through this great productivity of.
crops, of precious nnetals and of Industrial
agencies tho country began to discover
that it was accumulating capital. It was
able, by means of its surplus foreign
trade, to absorb a large amount of Ameri
can securities held In Europe for many
years. It was able to pay off some of our
indebtedness abroad; and It was discov
ered that we were establishing what are
called "bankers credits' over there. Rela
tively, I have often thought that the in
crease of surplus capital In the "West was
even greater than elsewhere In the United
States. Farmers, who had been in debt
many years, were able to pay off their
mortgages, to- buy improved machinery
and to add to their lands; and the records
furnished by the banking departments of
the various states showed that they were
accumulating money.
"We. therefore, had a greater amount of
surplus capital certainly greater In fig
ures, probably greater relatively than in
any other time in our history. The Inevi
table result of that followed. When blind
capital, as It Is sometimes called, or sur
plus capital, becomes very large, it seeks
utilization. People want to make as much
money as possible. That is the time when
capital is in plenty. It is used up In these
ways, and then there follow demoraliza
tion and panic"
Where the Surplus Went.
Mr. Hepburn was asked to detail more
specifically some of the uses of this sur
plus capital.
"There were, for one thing, large in
vestments in foreign loans. Some of the
richer corporations of New York bought
great blocks of European loans. Ameri
can capital was interested In the financ
ing of some of the English war loans.
There began even to be purchases of
English consols. In addition to that
there came atthat time the great im
pulse to consolidate various industrial
properties and to bring together various
SURPLUS eTVPITAL HAS GONE
railway systems; the conspicuous ex
ample of that being, so far as "industry
is concerned, the organization of the
United States Steel Corporation; and, so
far as railroads are concerned, the move
ments which led to the unification of
some of the Pacific railroad systems.
These and many minor undertakings
some minor only In the sense that they
were not as largo as the United States
Steel Corporation, but were yet very large
were promoted, and for a time found
apparently easy absorption.
"But there came a time when it was
apparent that the power of absorption
was gone. Commercial and financial ex
pansion had reached its limit. The sur
plus capital had been used up, so to
speak. Credit itself was being strained.
And when, a year ago, there came heavy
demands for money for crop movements
In the West, it was evident to skilled ob
servers that the strain was really upon
us. There began to be he'sitatfon, then
stronger evidence of the Inability or re
fusal of thoso who In the past had sur
plus capital, to purchase securities; and,
little by little, the reaction made Itself
felt, until it culminated in the excite
ments and vivid object-lesson of the
summer of 1903."
Check to New Investments.
Mr. Hepburn was tnen asked to ex
plain what he meant by his intimation
that the wise man of business. In view of
all that has happened within tho first
'half of the year 1903, would check his
own business expansion and curtail and
fortify himself against any period of de
pression or distress.
"The meaning ought to be self-evident
There cannot be any such HquldatIonas
has been In progress for nearly a year
without there resulting from It, not only
a check to new Investments, to new
propositions, but also a limitation of de
mand, which causes a market more or
less dull, according to the extent to which
the limitation of the demand goes. There
is an impression that Wall street is some
thing apart from the rest of the nation.
It is something like the view sometimes
held by public men that the New York
postofilce is a purely local institution; and
yet the New York postofilce is' of quite
as great importance to merchants and
manufacturers elsewhere In .the country
as it is to those of New York City. It
was once said by a former Postmaster
General that the pulsations of itsmighty
heart are felt all over the country and
the world. So, too, the pulsations of the
financial heart oi the country, which is
New York, are even more speedily and
perceptibly felt than are those of the
great center of the postal system of this
country; so that Wall street cannot ex-

VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 20, The
constructing and rearranging of the
military post and headquarters of
the Department of Columbia, situated at
"Vancouver, Wash., is one of the largest
works ever begun In the Northwest The
work when completed, according to the
plans which were approved by tho Sec
retary of War, will Involve a period of
about Ave years' time and be at a cost
to the Government of over a million dol
lars, a fact which proves the Intention
of the Government to locate permanently
a post atrthls point, thus setting at rest
all argument on the part of those who
have been advocating a change to some
other locality.
. The location of the Vancouver bar
Tacks is considered by the War Depart
ment as the healthiest and best In this
-part of the country. Upon completion
of the new buildings and the rearrange
Tnent of the parade grounds and roads It
will be one of the; prettiest and best ar
ranged military posts in the United
States. It will be what Is termed by
military people one of the "show spots
of the army'
The post, when completed, will have a
capacity sufficient to accommodate one
regiment of infantry and two batteries
of field artillery. This will include quar
ters necessary f or officers for such a gar
Tlson. In addition thereto it will ac
commodate tho commanding general of
the Department of Columbia and offi
cers of his staff with quarters-. There. will
also be erected here a new department
headquarters building with a cost "of
about ?75,000. Already plans of this build
ing are being drawn to be submitted for
approval.
There are tinder various stages of con
struction at the present time, a 4S-bed'
hospital, which will cost J6S,725, a bat
tery quarters costing $66,000; two infan
try barracks costing 555.000 each, a bat
tery gun shed which will cost $25,000, a
coal shed contracted for $26,226, and an
officers' quarters which will cost about
$45,000.
The buildings are all strictly modern
in every detail, and built throughout for
stability and convenience. The hospital
especially will be an ideal structure. It
will be constructed of brick, with stone
foundation. Its plumbing and sanitary
conveniences cannot be excelled. It will
be fitted wth a room especially for an
X-ray apparatus, and will be thorough, in
every detail. The bachelor officers' quar
ters will be built after the old colonla'l
style. It will be one of the prettiest
and best buildings in tho post. It has

perlence reverses without ultimately the
effect of them being also felt throughout
the country. Wall street is not a cause;
but it is a reflection of all the mighty
agencies that make industrial, commer
cial and agricultural prosperity, as It is
an Important reflection of all the agen
cies which make depression and distress.
Wall street does not cause all panics, air
though panics are usually first developed
there."
Mr. Hepburn was asked If, in his view,
accommodations for 16 bachelor officers,
besides an officers' mess and room for at
tendants. The barracks for the enlisted men are
constructed after a plan adopted by the
Secretary of War for their special fea
tures of convenience and appearance.
Each barrack will easily hold two com
panies of infantry, and will have in con
nection a large xand comfortable dining
room and a kitchen that would surpass
most modern hotels for convenience. The
-7r Jffs"- -T T v -iijrr 5?3
the currency system of the United States
was In any way responsible. He replied
that, while there were certain archaic
features of our currency system, certain
defects that should be remedied, yet, on
the whole, it i3 now In a healthful and
confidence-giving condition.
"There Is no reason,"-" he continued,
"why there should be any distinction
between tho revenues received, for cus
toms and those received from internal
taxes, so far as the utilization in tho
j battery quarters are a fac simile of the
I infantry, excepting they are larger. The
battery gun-sheds are a long-needed ne
cessity for protection of the field guns
from tho exposure of the damp Weather.
Each shed will be 191 feet in length and
will- hold 17 guns. They will be fitted
with rolling steel doors and be floored
with vitrified brick. The buildings will
all be of wood, excepting the hospital.
The foundations, however, will be of
i stone, so that at any 'tlmo-either brick
discretion of the Secretary of the Treas
ury and in the form of deposits in tho
banks is "concerned. If "the funds which
are now required by law because collect
ed from, customs dues to be kept in the
Treasury until paid out for Government
expenses were available for the public
uses, as the funds collected from Inter
nal revenue are, that would be a meas
ure affording considerable relief, espe
cially in times of stringency. As to
what is called asset banking, I am not
of tho opinion that the country is
ready for It, whatever may bo said of
Its merit as an abstract proposition.
Tho people havo become familiar with, a
bank currency, which they know is as
good as gold, because the entire faith
of the nation, as expressed in its bond,
is behind this currency.
"A bank note issued by a bank at
Eas,tport, Me.. -passes as readily In cir
culation . in San - Francisco as does, a
greenback or silver certificate, and there
is no exchange upon it. This sense of
absolute safety will, I feel, prevent any
Congress at present from approving any
method of securing national bank-notes
that differ from the present one. The;
Government bond which stands behind
tho note is as sure a protection "as bul
lion itself would be.
Increase of Circulation.
"It ' has . seemed to me, however,-that
it might be worth while for Congress to
pass 'such a law as would permit the
Secretary of the t Treasury, in his dis
cretion, 'to grant to any national bank,
i ume or emergency, me ngnt io in-
crease -its circulation up to a certain
rauo or lis capital. mt, or course, a
l-UiltHl,. Ul U1U.L. HI UU 311UUIU,Ut: MlilUtt
automatic, so that It would be Instantly
retired when tho emergency was passed;
and that can be done by taxing It at
such a figure as to compel Its retirement
fwhen the rate3 for money reached abnor
mal figure. That Is exactly what happens
when the New York Clearing-House Is
sues Its certificates, something that is
done only In times of great emergency.
The tax upon tliese certificates Is suffi
cient to compel their instant cancelation
when rates for money become normal.
Nothing should be done which would
make It possible to Inflate tho paper
money of the United States.
"The natural Increase of national banks
and the new circulation thereby pro
vided and the certainty that for many
years, probably, the gold mined each
year in the United States and in Alaska
will increase the circulating medium by
575,000,000 or more, ought of itself to
provide whatever additional currency the

whole for climatic Influences in one part
of our country do not affect all parts
unfavorably the opening up of much of
the-yet' undeveloped West, will, of them

which, when it Is secured, may make
possible renewed Investments, renewed

the precautionary measures adopted by

It Is expected that after the new year
there will be a healthful revival of In
