The Gazette has the largestscir- culation of any paper in Norwalk. and furnishes the lowest advertising rates- u n . Notice. . In view of the fact that many persons have been thrown out of employment, the GAZETTE has decided to print. the ~ advertisementsof all-seeking situations free of charge until further. notice.’ When the present financial depression is over the old scale of rates will be re- sumed, but for the present the GAZETTE hopes to be of some assistance to those compelled to-seek new situations. Yes. Why Should We ? I , ” Why should we dance to England’s financial music, or to any other coun- ' try’s ?" asks the Evansville Courier. . We shouldn’t do it. We have done so long enough, spiritediy retorts the Washington Post. And unless we adopt a distinctively financial policy of our own, with an honest dollar. at the bot? tom of it, we shallkeep on dancing to the same old tune. > If. in the wisdom of Congress, it shall be deemed advisable-to perpetuate that feature of our protective legislation by which the silver iiidustry is to be cod- _ dled by the General Government to the neglect of other staple‘ industries, let it at least be"'done upon .a basis of good faith to the people whose interests dew pend upon the maintenance of stability invalues. Let our legislators bear Constantly in mind that although the amount of gold in the" Treasury is relatively much smaller than the amount of silver, our entire stock of gold on the 1st of July was estitnated by theIIDirector of the Mint at $654,000,000, and‘that of siIVer at $575,000,000. Evidently both metals have rights that are entitled to con- sideration. . .. -. . _ I _ , The relegation of silver to merely subsidiary uses may-well be protested against. Equally odious and obnoxious is a policy that forces gold out OfIcir- culation 'and into useless hoarding places. This is one of the most para- lysing forms of contractionto the gen- eral business of the country, for the reason that it is begotten of» distrust 'instead of necessity. It is not begot- ten of a geld policy,jbut. of an anti- gold policy. ' " , ' The first step toward an‘international bimetallic currency 'is to assure the world that this country, in place of making silver monometallism the basis of its financial fabric, proposes to draw for all'the gold it needs as a final basis of: redemption. Let silver be given a fair and honest show, but let our gold be unlocked and relieved of its scare. Let every form of our currency be protected against the possibility of de- preciation, that all its issues. whether a of gold, silver, or paper, may work to- . gether in harmony and on a parity. If we would cease dancing to En- ropean music and compel Europe to dance toAmerican music we must have an American policy that the world shall respect and none be able to dis- ho’nor. " ' History Repeats itself- During the past half century and more, the columns cf the GAZETTE have been enriched with various articles on finance, past and present, from the pen of HOrace Staples, new President of the National bank of Westport. Be- ' cently'an article from his pen.relating to the dire panic of .1837, appeared in these columns and in the Bridgeport Standard, which says :1 . “ Mr. Staples, although over 90 years of age, is still active’and vigorous and . his recollection of that trying period is very vivid. He does not depend upon his memory alone, however, for .he has a collectiOn of newspaper clippings of that era, which are historically inter- esting and suggestive as, possible. Among these are extracts from the New York Herald in 1837, in which the causes and course of the financial dis- aster of that day are noted: . “Under date of March 24, 1837, we find the following: . ‘ “ ‘A healthy revolution has now be- gun in this country that Will bring down‘_ prices Of everything to , modera- tion in less than three months. The first mutterin s of the thunder were heard ‘in New rleans and reverberated in Ne.w_’York., By natural process—a revolution in commerce, we shall" ' hint. asee moderate prices and? limith‘idfigbg; " its.

We are in the midst of ‘ a commercial panic which threatens to break up all the business of society—— ' to ruin whole states—to lay waste large districts—.40 sweep half our banking institutiOns, from the land—and to create a revulsion that will retard the country for'years.’ "‘ It will be seen that the panic of ’37 was one compared to which the devel- bpmentsof the present financial trou- bles seem small, as this really was all that the ‘Herald foretold at that time. From its columns of April 8, 1837,.we extract the following: ' ” ‘The revolution advances. From every point of the compass—from the the symptoms of a great change in poli- tics and/ in commerce are borne to us by every mail and on everylwmd. Be- ginning in the great cities the excite- starts, spread to the interior and re- .mote country places. ’ ' “ Again On April 21, 1837, the Herald says: - 5 5 ' ernment out of the duties imposed by act of Congress. At other paints a general suspension Of specie payments is deliberated on, the issue of post notes, and a general scramble through ’all ranks of society. * * The fail- ures of the mercantile world which have already taken place have precipi- tated many hundred families from the heights of affluence to comparative poverty. * * Never, perhaps, did such a radical revolution in society take place in any country as is gOing on in this fair, rich and smiling land.’ “ On May 3, 1837, the Herald said: ‘.‘ ‘ The present evils which afflict the country are the joint production of all parties and all classes. They have been produced byoverbanking. over- trading, overspending, overlivmg, over- dashing, over iving, oyerreaching, overcheating, overborrowmg, overeat- ing, overdrinking, Iov’erpaying, over- . overthinking,’ overplayIng, Ioveracting of every kind and descrip- tion. except overploughing, which alone is the cOrner-stone of society and the foundation of civilization.’ . “Looking over these records of the past, there isa lesson from which we may draw, a moral in our present ex- periences. nature are essentially the same always, and in the events of to-day we find re: posted, under certain modifications,the same events which shook” the founda- tions of society 46 years ago.” TERSE TALES or THE TIMES.

A Had the sateen -Sentinel adhered to it‘s’iisiial an'd‘sa e custom of copying its‘news items from the AZETTE, it would not have wasted nearly a quarter of a column of its valuable space last evening, with three sensational head lines, in giving the New York Herald’s revamped account of the two exhausted Germans found in, a row-boat of Glen Cove. Monday’s GAZETTE, in four lines, gave the fact that Fred. Huber and John Mayer, employed by Rudolph Oliver of Green’s Farms went out Sun- day -in a' rOw-boat and drifted across the Sound to Port Jefferson, and were there rescued. ‘ 0 Bridge Timbers. Broken. A break down on the railroadbridge over the Quinnipiac river,on the Shore Line, was discovered Wednesday even- ing just infltime to prevent a'seriousace ciden. About 6 o’clock, just after a heavy train had passed over the bridge, it was discovered that four timbers on the abntments of the bridge had been broken. weakening the bridge so that a heavy train would have gone through. All trains bound over the bridge were at once flagged and sent back and a- - force of men was put to work to‘ repair the break.
