Day in 1878 Panic and the farmers’ revival in trade
An 1878 near-panic analysis credits farmers with reviving industry after earlier crises. Bookwalter argues speculative cycles in 1857 and 1873 caused downturns, while agriculture spurred exports and manufacturing. He notes rising wheat exports from 1870s to 1880 and predicts agriculture can lift other sectors even if prices fall, with foreign demand and cheap supplies shaping the recovery.

Reports from Mexico City on December 24 describe a violent popular uprising against depreciated nickel coinage. Workers at a cigarette factory faced pay in nickels, sparking clashes in markets and the plaza. Rioters attacked stands, stones and bullets flew, and two sharpshooters were killed. President Gonzales was pelted as his carriage was stoned. cadets protected him briefly before forces restored order. 5,000 troops remained on duty, many rioters arrested, and merchants offered nickel priced goods to the poor while city authorities stockpiled silver for essentials. The unrest spread to Pueblo, Queretaro, Toluca and Leon, but authorities stressed no danger to foreigners.
