From The Morning News.
The business men Of this city are united
IN their condemnation of the attempt to
injure the credit and the reputation of a
manufacturing concern here. Aside from
any political motives that may have
prompted the assault. there is a more
vital question involved.
The credit of every man in business is
supposed to be protected by law from the
attacks of an persons. The law recog-
nizes no politics. and it is time that it is
understood that the business interests OF
a city cannot be assailed with impunity
Ii is time to cali a malt. Political prob
lems are one thing. and business interests
are another thing. Every man in busi-
ness in this city-whether he be a mer-
chant or a Manufacturers entitled to
protection against assaults upon his
credit. Political animositics are no ex-
cuse for such attacks. That should be
understood and made emphatic. This
thing of attempting TO injure any man or
any firm engaged in a legitimate business
concerns every citizen who has the well
fare Of the city at heart.
