,* The pover of WhII street in
Hi is country isdecreasingfast. Six ,
years ago the disasters which have
developed tliere the laiit few day*
would have sent a shiver through
the country. Now they make
hardly a ripple.
The administration is right ha
using ?!! possible legal methods to
relievo the money famine at the
J I
centre, for Wall street i* vet mo
o! >s)!v in t > i rh with the comnierciil
sVHteiu ??f the country
that long continued disturbance
there might In ins* serious results.
Toe so culled democratic newsn?pers
which complain against tlie
relief given l>v advance payments
of interests, deposits of government
funds and the like are kIihI
low hypocrites or wonderfully
idiotic, for in protecting the com
merciul interests of the country
the government is protecting hun
dreds of thousands of working
people and wage earners dependent
on them for daily bread. A
panic would >e a delight to the so
called democratic politicians because
it would give them hope for
holding their j-'bs, but it would,
not increase the happiness of the
masses of th ? people.
Legitimate business is, however,
separating itself from the
speculative elements of the street!
more widel" every year. The
time will come?and we hope j
noon?when those who make and
I>uv and sell and deal in and han-l
die real things and values will regard
the gambling on Wall street

would a mob of boys playing in
an old held. The business men of
the country have learned that j
they can not. atTord to have their j
interests bound up vith the operations
of mini biers whose trade is
]
disregard values and conditions
and to at tiliciall v inflate or do- |
press prices to swindle the inex
