This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The Magazine of Wall Street and were widely commented upon not only for their unusual originality but for the practical bearing of the principles developed upon the actual work of the business man or investor. History tells what happened, but these graphs, with the keen analyses which accompany them, show why it happened, and explain the great controlling principles of business and finance in the straightforward fashion of one business man talking to another. The authors require no introduction to the American reading public.

His public career as a member of the House of Repre sentatives and of the Senate, Secretary of the Treas ury, and Secretary of State extended from March 4, 1855, to April 27, 1898, a period of more than forty-three years.

Financial Crises And Periods Of Industrial And Commercial Depression: 1902 Edition - Reprint 2009
(The Global Financial Crisis started in the USA in 2008. T...)
The Global Financial Crisis started in the USA in 2008. The economy shifts and cycles, and occasionally falls into depressions. Making sense of these "recurring disturbances" is the aim of the classic bestseller "Financial Crises and Periods of Industrial and Commercial Depression", originally published in 1902, and written by Theodore Burton. In this book, Burton tries to clarify the confusion surrounding economic phenomena such as panics, crises, and depressions. He attempts to identify their causes and effects and looks at whether depressions are unavoidable features of a transition period in business and industry. He also examines the periodicity of crises and depressions and if they regularly recur or are the result of chance. THEODORE E. BURTON (1851-1929) represented Ohio in the U.S. Congress for forty-one years. He served on the Inland Waterways Commission, the National Waterways Commission, and the National Monetary Commission.

Theodore Elijah Burton was an American senator and representative. He is noted for his service as a member of numerous Commissions and also as a presidential nominee from the Republican side.
Background
Theodore Elijah Burton was born on December 20, 1851 at Jefferson, Ohio and was the youngest of the five children of the Rev. William Burton, a Presbyterian minister, and his second wife, Elizabeth (Grant) Burton. Both parents were of New England ancestry.
Education
Theodore attended the Grand River Institute at Austinburg, Ohio, and Grinnell College at Grinnell, Iowa, places where his family in its ministerial migrations resided at the time. From Grinnell he entered Oberlin College in 1870, receiving the degree of A. B. two years later.
Career
Theodore Elijah Burton remained at Oberlin as a tutor for two more years and at the same time studied law, continuing his training through 1874-75 in the office of Lyman Trumbull in Chicago. He was admitted to the Ohio bar, July 1, 1875, and immediately entered into general law practice in Cleveland.
From 1886 to 1888 he served in the city council, and in the latter year was elected to Congress from the 216t Ohio district. In the succeeding election, 1890, he was defeated by Tom L. Johnson, but the tables turned in 1894. Burton served in the House of Representatives fourteen years longer, or until he was elected to the Senate in 1909.
In 1912 he supported President Taft, incurring thereby the hostility of the Ohio Progressives. He was not a candidate for reelection in 1914, and he returned to law practice in Cleveland, his political career seemingly ended. Warren G. Harding judged the mood of the Ohio voters more accurately and succeeded Senator Burton.
In 1920, however, Burton was again elected to the House of Representatives, now from the old district changed to the 22nd Ohio, and served until he was for a second time, in 1928, elected to the senate. In the meantime a vacancy had occurred by the death of Senator Frank B. Willis, and Burton, appointed by the governor for the short term, took his seat in the Senate again, December 15, 1928, continuing in his own right the next year.
Although Burton was a busy legislator, and in great demand as a public speaker, he found time to write extensively on the financial history of the United States. His first work, Financial Crises and Periods of Industrial and Commercial Depression, was published in 1902, and John Sherman, in the American Statesmen Series, in 1906.
Both were more important as a part of Burton's post-graduate education than as contributions to American scholarship. The life of John Sherman was hardly a biography, but rather a contribution to the history of taxation, national banking, silver currency, and government indebtedness. Such work gave him a reputation among popular audiences as a scholar in politics and, without doubt, contributed greatly to his political and legislative influence. From 1917 to 1919 he was president of the Merchants National Bank, New York City.
In 1919 he delivered the Stafford Little Lectures at Princeton University, which were published the same year under the title Modern Political Tendencies and the Effect of the War Thereon, and in 1922 he gave the Cutler Lectures at the University of Rochester, published as The Constitution of the United States: Its Origin and Distinctive Features (1923). It was however, as a legislator that he became a factor in the history of his times, and a power in the Republican party.
He was singularly independent in his legislative record, embarrassing some of the more regular members of his party. It is probably to his credit that he attempted to hold down the rates in the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill.
He died as he wished, in the midst of an active career.
In 1889, he was elected as a Republican to the Fifty-first Congress, declined to be a candidate after his term in 1891, was elected to the Fifty-fourth Congress and to the next seven succeeding Congresses, from 1895, until his resignation in 1909.
Views
His most important public services were given as a member and for ten years chairman of the House committee on rivers and harbors, and as a strong opponent of pork-barrel legislation.
Membership
Theodore Burton was a member of the American Peace Society.
Personality
Burton was reputed to be cold, aloof, and self-centered, but his intimates knew that the appraisal was superficial and that he inspired affection and warm friendships. Serious-minded, he had little time for anything in life but books and politics.
