; Il has: within the last few months be-
co;nc the fashion to ascribe the presen,
! business difficulties to the operation OF
: the Sherman silver Law. There is, how.
ever. now tiiscerrable a growing feeling
that after all, the silver compromise oi
/ the Ohio statesman is not responsible
for much of the alleged troubles besett
ing the coun,ry's mercantile concerns.
Like the pickpocket who joins with
the crowd and shouts stop thief, louder
/ than anybody else, the Democratic lead
efs are d'verting attention from the
| financial troubles their success has
brought upon the country by nolsiiy
ascribing these troubles TO the silver law
passed by the Republican congress. Tha;
the real cause Of the present troubles
are mere largely due 20 the adoption Oi
Democratic principles than tn the silver
Law, must be apparent to everybody con
vcrsant with the situation.
There can be no doubt that it is ap-
parent ~ the lenders thcmaelscs, and
that their present effort TO charge the
silver law wi:h the troubles OF to-day
are for the purpose o: detrac;ing utten-
lion from the real facts. Such IL large
proportion o, the capital OF the country
is invested in man ufaciurirg interests
for support, that the prospective pn.icy
.l t..t 10 N. sh,,.-.. i.,1..G
tries must affect every important pu~i-
ness transaction.
The mon who have money invested in
manufacturing are unwilling 10 engage in
new enterprises or enlarge their business
hccausc they do not know how seriously
their business will be crippled by the
removed o. the protection which they
have had through the tariff laws in /! Q
past. The men who have money 10 in
vest in business enterprises are unwil:,
ing to inves. II in any manufacturing or
industrial line, because they 90 rot
! know what the relations nf the tariff art:
TAXATION viii be towards manufactures
and industries OF tha: character.
The men who have money 10 ioan are
unwilling 70 loan it for the same reason.
Nobody knows whether manufactures
which are reasonably prosperous to-day
will be profitable Il year from now. Take
almost any line Of manufacturing, for
instance. in the Unitoi States to day
and remove the tariff On the line Of
goods produced by l., and suck qnanti-
Ties OF those goods will pour in f.om
Europe III luw prices rs 10 rerder the
manufacture OF them in tins country un-
profitable. When this happens the mil
lions who are dependent upon these
manufncturics will nc thrown out o! en-
ployment and unable TO buy gonGs,travc!
npon railroads or otherwise contribute
70 the success of the various enterprises
os the country.
THIS is largely the cauee nf the ''want
OF confidence" about which tie Demo-
cratic leaders are talking so much. There
is want of confidence, but that want is
due to the uncertainty which prevails in
tho mind III every business man rs to
what is gong 10 happen, about the abii
lty Of the manufacturing interests Of the
country To continue their successful op-
eratinns, and by doing SO to contribute
to the prosperity Of other lines Of busi-
