1t Is undoubtedly the general opinion
of the eastern business men and finan
ciers, as il is also the opinion of a
great many western business men, that
Mr.. Bryan's election would brighten the
business world into the most violent
panic ever known In the history OF
country. Panics are usually due to fear
and d%istrust. We do not assert that Mr..
Bryan's election ought to be followed by
a wild and riotous stampede In Wall
street and a series Of commercial col
iapses throughout the country. We
have merely TO record the fact that
MIR. Bryan's election would make them
either active participants or helpless
victims In a tremendous panic.

widely different from those of Dickens.
Dickens, it will be remembered, could
only complain and caricature. He took
his w measure in the act much more
accurately than he did that of the people
whom he professed to 'desipit. Thack-
cray, on the contrary, wrote to say to
his correspondent: "Oh, sir, the West
is a great place! l have only just seen
the portal of it, but it's wonderful. The
boys must come here. Wealth grows
here; its first crop pays the fee simple
of a farm. Send your boys out and ac-
custom them to the shovel and the hoe,
and when big enough start them for the
west" This is the spirit Of Horace
Greeley, whose "young man, go west"
got into the place of almost u proverb
in the language at one time. Thackeray
was much less an enthusiast than
Dickens, but the greatness OF our newer
country inspired him on this occasion
and as the judgements of the great
authors have gone on record we think
there will be more than Americans TO
say that the one that came from Thack-
cray was the more creditable to his man.
