While the Republicans are claiming
what wonderful things that party
has done for the country and how
stable it has made the money market
of the country, it affords a little
diversion to turn the limelight on
the action OF the Secretary of the
Treasury in his effort to prevent a
panic in Wall street Things had
come to such pass that panic was
imminent. Heroic measures were re-
quired to prevent it. The danger was
SO great that the Secretary, acting
on the principle that the end justified
the means. actual V went beyond the
scope OF the law in his effort to stave
it off. OF his illegal coarse evil let
the Baltimore american, a newspa-
per friendly to the administration
and with undoubted Republican pro-
clivities, speak. 1t says:
''Secretary Shaw decides that in
the absence OF direct prohibition he
may abolish the reserve clause as it
applies to government deposits No
sooner thought than done-done
illegally, done by riding roughshod
over the acts OF Congress. done in
such Il manner as to constitute an as
sault upon the integrity and stability
of our national banking system.
And this from the Secretary of the
Treasury! The man of all men who
should teach respect for the wisdom
and righteousness OF our law in rela.
tlOn to finance goes out to hObnOb
with the waterers OF stock. the clip
pers OF the coupons of initiation and
the manipulatOrs of markets, and
comes back to teach our national
bank officials to entertain contempt
for the reserve clause. How soon
will it be before Secretary Shaw goes
TO still greater extremes in theeXecu-
ton OF his fantastical ideas-ideas
fraught with the elements OF disaster
to the nations finances?"
We know not; but we do know that
before he has had a chance to do fur
ther mischief President Roosevelt
should remove this official. who is a
monomaniac on the subject of infla-
ton and a public menace. Pack him
up, Mr.. Roosevelt. and send him back

WHO DID IT?
Graham Cleaner.

Graham Cleaner.
The best thing done for the State
and its people in the memory OF Old
men, was the taking OF the negro,
as far as it was possible to do, out
OF the voting class The worst thing
ever done for the State was his being
put in the voting class. Who put
him III? The Republican party
Who took linn out? The Demo-
cratic party. Would the Republic
cans put him back in if they should
ever get in power? They have not
SAID they would not. They fought
with all their might and main his
being taken out. Senator Pritchard
introduced a resolution in the United
States Senate asking that body to
declare the Constitutional Amend
ment to be against the Constitution
OF the United States, and he has
never repented of that. The Re-
publican party, as an organization
did all it could to defeat it before
the people, and we have never heard
of one OF them acknowledging that
he was wrong. TO put the negro back
as Il voter would mean Il hundred
thousand votes for the Republican
party in this State. That is a great
temptation. 4 hundred thousand
votes to a party in State that could
always be relied upon to vote straight
for the party without regard to is
sues-withOut regard to what that
party favored or opposed. Ii is a
terrible temptation. 1t would be
wrong to lead them into temptation.
Let us not doit. And to be sure that
they will not be tempted, vote the
Democratic ticket-make the Demo
cratic majority us large as we can,
and remove our Republican friends
as far as possible from temptation.
That is the kindest thing we can do
for them
We are afraid they could no stand
the temptation.

THE PANIC
Not Due to Wilson Tariff BiII-Began
Before Latter Was Enacted.

Baltimore Sun
1t is the customary fallacy of pro-
tectiOnists to attribute the panic of
1893 to the Wilson tariff of 1894.
fourteen months later, whereas said
panic was caused by the financial
legislation OF Congress i'll 1890, when
the Sherman silver bill and the new
wasteful pension bill were enacted.
These acts OF a Republican Congress
during the Harrison administration
depleted the Treasury, compelled the
Treasury to use the gold reserve for
ordinary expenses and thus started
the panic. The Sherman silver bill
unsettled public confidence i'll the
ability of the government to keep the
currency at par with gold, and hence
the rush to get greenbacks redeemed.
There was no Wilson tariff bill till
over a year after the panic, though
prOtectiOnist orators now commonly
date that Democratic measure back
to 1898, so as to make it responsible
for the panic of that year. The panic
of ! 1913 was really due to the fOllies
of 1890. The Sherman act, the mon
strOus pension act with Tanner ad-
ministering it and the reckless waste
of revenue in that year account suffi-
GENTLY for the alarm that followed.
1t used to be said by partisans that
the panic was due to the expectation
of a Wilson bill. If this were so, it
ought TO have come as soon as Cleve-
land was elected President. in NOvem-
Der, 1892, whereas it did not come
till June OF the following year. But
it is easier now, since time has OBJ
scured the connection OF past events,
to put the Wilson bill before the panic
instead OF after it and so make it re-
spOnsible for the disasters caused by
the reckless legislation Of 1890. 1t
was that legislation that exhausted
the surplus, cut down revenue and
alarmed the public.

The Republicans are makinga great
mistake i'll their attacks upon the
Democratic State administration,
especially with reference to the bor-
rowing of money to make good Il de-
felt in the Treasury. 4 deficit is
nothing at all unusual, In this case
it resulted from the simple fact that
the Legislature appropriated more
money than the revenue bill raised,
and there was nothing wrong about
it. When the people are told this
and told further that the money was
borrowed for the public schools, the
Confederate veterans and the hos
pitfalls for the insane, the attack re-
acts upon the party making it. In
this matter the Republican orators

In answer to the complaint OF the
Republicans concerning the require
ment OF the payment of poll tax
as a prerequisite to voting. the
Charlotte Observer calls their atten-
ton to Il similar law in the Republi-
can State of Pennsylvania. The pa
pers OF that State are urging this
payment before the expiration of the
limit.
But to bring the matter still closer
to the Republicans OF this State, Sell
ator Pritchard supported a measure
which denied the right to vote to

had not paid Il poll tax, and there
