We go backward instead of forward?
With lawful combinations of capital we
may go forward. With these we may
compete with the other nations of the
earth in the foreign market. Without
them we shall have difficulty in doing
so.
When capital is combined, however,
with the purpose in view of stamping
out other capital, or for the purpose of
transgresSing the law in other ways,
such combinations become amena'ble to
the laws, which, by the way, We're
placed on the statute books by Repub-
Hcan legislation. John Sherman was
the first man to introduce laws on this
subject. 1t was his antitrust law that
created so much opposition from all
classes of business I1en, and it was he
who was so rOundly berated for his
trouble His law has brought about
many desired changes in the business
world. I have no objection to legisla-
tiOn such as he was responsible for.
There is now normal condition Of
prosperity. There is no reason why we
should not have prosperity for the next
ten years or more. This prosperity was
brought about by Republican admins
tration. This administration has been
threatened. If Ohio had gone Demo-
cratic, then confidence would have
been shaken, and once shaken it would
be hard to restore. Capital is sensitive.
1t does not operate when there is
doubt in the air It remains under
cover. Without capital business ceases
and panicS begin.

The worst of it is that we do not
now own securities in masses which
could be sold abroad, and therefore
have only bullion to fall back upon in
q pinch. 1 estimate that we have part
ed with &150, 000 900 of your railroad Sc
curities since the beginning of 1898, and
long before that we had sold our con-
tinental and Egyptian government
stocks. Neither you nor the continent
take many of our Indian and colonial
securities, if any, nor is there any free
market abroad for our domestic stocks.
Consequently we depend on our eX-
ports Of manufactures and the interest
on our colonial, Indian, South Ameri-
can, and the remainder of our North
American investments to adjust trade
balances at ordinary times. But the
times are not now ordinary, and are
not likely to be so for many months to
come. Money may ease a. little now,
but dearness is certain to come on
again before the end of the year, and
the Bank of England says it has got
the market well enough in hand to be
able to prevent weakness spreading.
Soon probably, we shall see the cOnti-
mental state banks moving their rates
up further for self-prOtectiOn. and the
only thing we are thankful for is your
apparent ability to do without drawing
gold from US If you did so, that, ad-
ded to our other troubles. would stag
ger our market completely.
