' i, then. ' "With a Continuance f great crops and greatly in creased consumption, with the" people well fixed for a . Hong rainy day, and, with.the country so rapidly de ''' veloping in many waye, It may be that the patyenod , 4will not recur at all, or" at least for many years. The country is bigger and stouter and wiser and more i -7 Independent of the panic breeders, than it hasever been before. f Ever so many big failures, and ever so great a break in' Wall-street, "will not affect the country as much as like incidents of half the magnitude would have done , few years ago. , The country is getting too big .
