the result of the want of confidence,
which invariably follows too much faith
and credit.
Labor has been serious plague to
investment for good many years back.
The tendency of labor organizations is
to be aggressive, as they are political
in their nature. their active directors
being in effect oficeholders who draw
their pay from the labor funds, and
must therefore discover grievances and
exert pressure, like politicians who
want votes. Ten years ago it was the
rule in several of the western cities
for builders to bar strikes in making
their contracts. They said, in effect:
"A new and uncertain element has
come up which we cannot handle, and
the strike has got to be considered, for
we cannot work against impossibili-
ties" In the effort to be,relieved from
existing labor tyrannies some of the
promoters in the mines and railroads
began to import foreigners. Politics
was sought out as remedy against
this, and for a good while past any
man sure of job in America was liable
to be turned back at the frontier,
while those sure of nothing were al
lowed to come in, as if they were the
only people to be considered. A result
has been the extension of the striking
material to these more brutalized for
eigners. The great Friclz and Carnegie
strike last yeas was a nearly violent
attempt to check this tendency. Great
mills were closed and their fires shut
down, and In the attempt to open
them riots took place. These riots I'M
doubtedly affected the presidential
election. The coagulated evil has gone
on. until we have seen in the past
week seventy furniture factories in the
old staid city of Cincinnati discharge
all their workmen, thousands in num-
Der, saying in. effect: Eve need not
work at all, if you do not want to
work. We are going to wait and see"
Another evil Of recent years has been
the perpetual reorganization of fixed
system of all railroads which had over
done themselves, intermediate bank
ers drawing great sums OF money from
these readjustments. The effect, of
course, has been to weaken our
credit. The Reading railroad, which
has several times been put through
this course of sweating, present
ed such a picture of frantic am
bition and collapse that when the
riot in Wall street was over it
appeared that investors would no
longer plague themselves with person
al property. The wreckage was too
great not to leave some lesson. In
short, a certain kind of banking in
this country has become suck-hole to
engulf corporations and swindle the
public.

wise menaced with destruction, has
worked out it's result in very little ad-
ditional service to the public and more
railroad stagnations, gluts and fail
ures. Some of the banks reformed
their ways and refused to lend anv
more money to the speculative inter-
ests. When the Earrings failed the
American national banks presented
noble phalanx Of resistance, and
brought us out of that crisis for the
time triumphantly. But the criticism
of Europe upon our silverUdilution has
also become a conviction, and the
banks have, for the first time in
many years, parted company with
speculation as a science. And that
speculation has been pushed to ex-
traordinary results. AS we had ceased
building railroad lines through the
agricultural lands and plains, the
spectators took hold of minor proper
ties, such as the street railroads, and
put them up to high figures, and per-
haps manipulated the exchanges to
keep the quotations at an artificial
point. In short, the passion to make
money at the expense of the stock
holders in old fixed properties, and to
draw the general public more and
more into speculative things, had be-
come nearly national. The fiscal
agents who loaned money in the new
cities of the country, particularly in
the west, became Indifferent about
protecting those from whom they bor-
Yowed, and would lend on dubious
property double its conservative valu-
alton. Individual cities of the second
class aimed to extricate themselves
from community of interest or de-
pendence with other cities. Hence we
have seen Duluth building a railroad
to the 500, and Minneapolis building
railroad to the 500, and St. Paul paral-
leling that Northern Pacific railroad
which only twenty years ago brought
on great panic. GATE
