JIUSIXESS OX THE UPSWING
Bar"- ? -
CCy Irving T. Brush, in T^e New
York Commercial.)
business is on the upswing,
Ifhere is no danger in being optimis"tle.
When business is on the downi
swing, It Is unwise to be pessimistic,
for pessimism breeds discouragement
loss of courage is the father of
failure. Restrained common sense
Is good at all times. It is absolutely
^essential on the downswing.
This country has passed through
Sre years of unexampled prosperity.
A period of readjustment has arrived
askl it is best for every one to face
Che facts. There is nothing to be
Chtned by getting blue because busi
neas cannot continue rorever on tne
' pairing. It never has and it never
ill if we loolc at the best interest
"Of the country, we must be forced to
the conclusion that it is time a halt
was called.
A generation or so ago our business
affairs were local to this side of
"the Atlantic. Today they are international
and If we are to continue to
wadleasly boost the prices of everything
that goes into a manufactured
inroduct, the time will soon be reached
when other nations will undersell
as In the markets of the world.
The preservation of our foreign
markets is, if anything, more important
to labor than it is to the owners
?f Industry, and the important fact
to eveTy one, labor included, is not
ltow many dollars are received at the
end of the week, but what the contents
of the pay envelope or the proceeds
of the salary check prill buy

lit Js far better to keep the cost, of
Tomfort and happiness on a basis
whero it can bp nnrrhased in this
country for no more than Jt can be
Ixraght abroad, for if we do not do
*th!s, other nations will undersell us
'ta foreign markets and both the labor
?nd capital of this country wiir lo?e
"that part or their job which is represented
"by producing manufactured
ftp . "Woods that are sold by us to the peo-ple

I?) n During the war the world has laid
Us money on our counters and demanded
our goods because we were
*he only producing nation in a position
to supply these wants.This period
has ended and trade will return to its
normal condition, which means that
we must compete for foreign business.
While this period of readjustment
"fa going on, some people who have
"been skating on then Ice may get their
font wet. We will not have a panic
In acceptance of that term.
Ha term "*panis" in days gone by has
tmn associated with an actual inability
to get a recognized circulating
medium. The ignorant have beseiged
banks for something they could;
flake home and count. That was be-<
am we had a poor banking sys-.
With 'the Federal Reserve system \

"medium can "be provided and the
Hmttces can 'be applied with sufficient i
care to prevent everybody from being1
jolted out of their spats. That was|
dk? unpleasant part of our former
janjcs. Everybody was punished)
whether he deserved it or not.

be* avoided.
JDjur blessings have been recounted
WD'dften 'that everybody should know
thorn by heart, but when a man feels
blue about the future of this country,
. it is wise to sit down and count them
over again, recall the days before the
war, when the people of the United
States owed Europe vast sums, for
xnoaey loaned to us for the purpose
of developing our resources and when
we sent hundreds of millions of dol-'
lars a year abroad to pay the inter,est
Da this bororwed principal. Today
.that debt is paid and we are the chief
.creditor nation of the world.
IQrom a money standpoint, we can
? look the world in the face. The essential
thing for us to preserve is that
greatest assets of all?the spirit of
America. This country has not grow"
great by sitting down and talking
about its resources. It has grown because
its people have rolled up their
sleeves.a id forked.
*Te are in a position today .to withstand
a money panic and in fact any
.kind of a panic, except of our spirit
and courage. When we begin to beJieve
that we can produce without
twork, and are entitled to comfort and
luxury without putting our backs and
2uains into it, then the danger signal
indeed, set.
The man with the right stuff in
iiiq ui liaixi iuii>cs uuuer a liiue au ersity.
He cuts out his folish extravagance
and gets down to real
lionest work. A nation is but a collection
of individuals and the thing
we need to restore the spirit of
America is less talk and more work.
"Those who are worth while will
come through with a new courage,
.and those who are not worth while
v are not worth much, anyway.

WORKING ON PREACHERS
Republican Chairman Sends Literature
to Clergyman hi Marlboro.
The Charlotte Observer says:
Rev. A. G. Buckner, minister of
u?e x'resnyierian cnurcu in ine uuueu
States, Synod of South Carolina,
Presbytery of the Pee Dee, forwards
The Observer a copy of a letter signed
by Chairman Hays, of the National
Republican Executive Committee,
and addressed to "the clergy of the
country." There are three enclosaures
to which Chairman Hays urges
the preachers to give "careful reading,"*
and he assures them .the enU.
closures "have been thoughtfully prepared
and are in no sense partisan.'1
One is on "The Clergy and the
'League of Nations." by George
Wharton Pepper, of Philadelphia;
another is an eassay by Bruce Barton
on "Harding and the League of
Nations," and a third is "A Letter
from the Liquor Dealers' Association
of New Jersey," signed by George T.
Carroll, president. Chairman Hays
would be "delighted'' to have the
preachers read this literature, "and

But Chairman Hays is not engaged
( solely in writing letters to the
i preachers. It is understood that he
has been honoring some of his color
ed brethren in North Carolina and it
' is altogether probable tha t some of
J his correspondence will develop a

11 Chairman Hays seems not only active
but ingenious as a political propagandist.
