benefit Of those democrats who prefer to
preserve their party lines intact. We be-

for themselves, have no difficulty in per-
ceiving that 1t was not the need OF a great
er volume OF currency that dragged many
OF the present converts TO Imitation doc
trines down to bankruptcy. The ruin was
caused by persistent and long continued
violation OF the simplest and soundest rules
OF business and the natural laws that regu-
late supply and demand. Too much credi,
and too little cash Is formula that ex-
presses the fact OF the matter with perfect
accuracy. Men who would obtain credit
used IL Tor the promotion of vast and haz-
ardous enterprises In which they would not
have ventured money that they had earn
ed These were undertakings which were
certain to collapse, because they were NOT
needed, and which effected ruin when they
burst, for the reason that they were built
upon the foundation OF an excessive credit
rather than that Of actual wealth. This Is
not newly discovered truth BY any means.
