The Rise of a Local Liberal: An Examination of the Success of John Henry Whitley 1890‐1906
No full textThis thesis is an examination of the early political career of John Henry Whitley and the success he achieved at a local parliamentary level. It examines how a local Liberal candidate was able to succeed amidst the rise of Labour within the town of Halifax. My work examines the political context of Liberalism’s battle with Labour and examines its impact on local politics within Halifax. Through combining these broader political aspects along with local factors specific to the town of Halifax, several questions arise with regard to Whitley’s success in 1900 and 1906. How did Whitley make the transition from local figure to Liberal political candidate and why was he chosen? How Liberalism
adapt to the rise of Labour? What did the Liberals do on a local level to challenge this threat? What did Whitley specifically promote and represent to ensure his success in 1900 and 1906? Ultimately, my thesis aims to answer the questions of how and why did Whitley succeed amidst a time of political uncertainty for the Liberal party? Of the various aspects that culminated to Whitley’s success, two factors proved crucial for John Henry Whitley to succeed in 1900 and 1906. His local roots and stature gave him a valuable connection of support to the community of Halifax that largely set him apart from rival political candidates within Halifax. Secondly, and most crucially, Whitley was able to unite old Liberal principles with a fresh emerging Liberal thought that promoted the social reforms the working class demanded. This was critical at a time when Liberal working class support was threatened by the emergence of a growing Labour movement, particularly within Halifax.
John Henry Whitley proved to be a Liberal who found the perfect balance between serving the
Liberal creed he believed in and helping the community he represented
Real Shock, Monetary Aftershock: The San Francisco Earthquake and the Panic of 1907
Get PDFEconomists have long studied the relationship between the real and monetary sectors. We examine the macroeconomic effects of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, a shock that immediately reduced United States. GNP by 1.5-1.8 percentage points. The quake's impact manifested itself in gold flows, as British insurance companies paid their San Francisco claims out of home funds in the fall of 1906. The capital outflow prompted the Bank of England to raise interest rates and discriminate against American finance bills. British bank policy pushed the US into recession and set the stage for the 1907 financial crisis. The 1907 panic led to the formation of the National Monetary Commission whose proposals recommended the creation of the Federal Reserve. In this study, we identify the San Francisco earthquake as the shock that triggered the chain of events that culminated in the panic of 1907.

Real Shock, Monetary Aftershock: The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and the Panic of 1907
Get PDFThe Panic of 1907 is an important episode in American financial history because it led, in part, to the creation of the Federal Reserve. Although much has been written about the crisis, little has been said about its underlying causes. This study identifies the San Francisco earthquake and its subsequent conflagration as the proximate cause of the panic. London fire-houses insured San Francisco during this period. The payment of claims by British insurance companies following the quake and fire produced a large capital outflow in the fall of 1906, forcing the Bank of England to nearly double interest rates and discriminate against US trade bills. These actions pushed the US into a recession and made markets vulnerable to shocks that otherwise would have been transitory in nature. World financial markets crashed in October 1907 with the collapse of the Knickerbocker Trust Company in New York.
