THE BUSINESS MAN.

The Business Man of this country now and
then asserts himself, and demands that his in
terests, which, he rightly says, are essentially
identical with those Of many million workers.
should be considered without delay Feeling
that all business men have like interests with
himself he speaks in no selfish sense, but for the
aggregate body, and as well for the vast ma jOr.
ity Of workers and consumers who cannot es-
cape loss or suffering If business suffers. This
honorable attitude gives great force to the de.
mand that the separate interests of politicians
and parties shall not hinder the action needed
to restore prosperity. In taking that attitude
however, the Business Man in the aggregate
must consider his own part in causing delay.
There is great Impotence now for speedy action
on the tariff and some other questions. and de-
lay is extensively denounced as if the politicians
were solely responsible for it. But how much
OF it is caused by the Business Man himself?
AT the bottom there would have been no close
vote in the Senate to cause long delay if the
Business Man had not aided or permitted the
defeat of the protective policy in the elections
of 1890 and 1892, thus bringing upon himself
disasters which make him kecnly regret his
conduct. His direct responsibility may be
shown in a word Had he acted in 1890 and
1917, III the pTeSclcc Oh ~ HdSTdut DdTSdlH Dc
tween Democrats, Popuists and Anarchists. as
he did act In 1896, that bargain would have been
beaten, there would have been no Democratic
President and Congress TO cause four years of
disaster and there would not have been in the
Senate Messrs. Murphy, of NewYork, AMI
Smith, of New-Jersey, and others, who help
the warfare against American Industries waged
by Free Traders and silver men. The Business
Man suffers because he sinned. 1t was crime
against the Nation to permit the combination Of
Free Traders and Populsts TO prevail and to
overthrow the tariff which had brought the
greatest prosperity ever attained, and the Bust
mess Man could have prevented it with ease by
doing his duly as he did in 1896.
Next the delay in The Senate has been caused
entirely by the countless demands which the
Business Man has made through various Sena-
tors, usually backed by the suggestion that the
Senator's vote will DE necessary to pass any bill
Many of these demands do not seek the interests
of business as an aggregate. but the interests
of individuals in business, the sugar reners,
the leather company. which holds most Of the
hides in the country; the manufacturers who
consume or the growers who produce partic-
Mar kind Of WOOL and through long list.
The attempt to fix some basis Of agreement
which a majority would support has been the
main cause OF delay. and the Business Man

character Of demands made at his instfgation, Is
