three hundred amendments to the finance
committee bill, Senators VOORHEES, and Tur-

was right and that the Indiana Senators

The Financier, in a conservative article
says:
AS for the labor troubles it is sufficient
to say that the people have faith In the
against demonstrations of this character;
hence; while they may be the means Fans OF,
business for a brief period, there need he
no apprehension of their either speedily
or extensively greatly injuring general bust
ness. After a panic we witness many things
that are not only abnormal but farcical,
and these do not alone emanate from those
whom we have supposed to be ignorant
people. Sentiment will change when times
change, and in the meantime we must be
prepared for a situation somewhat out or
the ordinary. .
The Journal concurs with these views
with the qualification that it does not be-
lieve the recent labor troubles and Coxey
movements have retarded the revival of
business to any material extent. They are
merely the symptoms of a condition. not
the condition itself. Business was not ready
to revive when they began, and is not yet.
The revival Of business depends on the
action Of Congress on the tariff question.
Whatever that may be, as soon as the
question is definitely settled business will
begin to adjust itself to the new conditions
and there will be a gradual revival of pros
perity. As that proceeds labor troubles
will subside. The Coxey movement Is al
ready collapsing. 1t is quite true, as the
Financier says that the people have faith
