THE EFFECT UPON BUSINESS

little influence upon the business interests of the country but
the convention that has just adjourned at St. Louis
ton the rule and the business interests of the country have
been looking forward to the result of its work with little anxiety
Money is a coward 1t has courage principles no
conscience but has fear without limit To it, sefpeservaon is
only the first law of nature but the last also and the whole
code Now every who knows anything all about the BUSH
sentiment of the United States knows that any soced
radical democrat"one in favor of ripping up the whole ea
bshed order of things had been selected head the ticket
Louis would have brought vertabe paralysis upon business
throughout the length and breadth of the country There but
very few people who believe there would have been the
test probability of the of such ticket but there would
have remained the possibility capital such aant coward
that the barest possibility of danger sufficient make to
cover and hence there would have been Tightening up of
strings all along the ne and this would have continued till the
and counted Few, any, enterprises would
have been undertaken and old would have been cut down
the economical basis This would have involved the discharge
of large number of and labor unemployed hard
times only for the of job for the shopkeeper
the manufacturer the professional all of in fact because
the interests of the American people nterdpndent that
you can't inure any portion without njurng the whole
But the country escapes this danger through the nomination
of Judge Parker We do not think there many well informed
in the country who actually believe there is any reasonable
probability of his Many enthusiastic democrats pretend
believe there is and try make themselves think they believe
there is but in nearly all such the wish is father the
thought Still in the other there remains the possibility,
but with this important difference consequence while
the former the possibility would have frightened capital
of activity and into hiding, in the latter only
make capital feel assured that everything safe and that nothing

present established order of things matter which side wins
Judge Parker is safe conservative man. of high
order of ability and spoess reputation and his selection the
democratic standard bearer gives such alignment for the
presidential contest the American people ought to have and
entitled to have each recurring presidential the Am
ercan people ought have and entitled each recurring pre-
sdenta campaign is alignment which makes the

ocy between who both fully up the require
ments of the office, Intellectually morally and politically
And consequence the nomination of Mr. Parker will
entail any webanketng of the business industrial interests
the country On contrary hesitation the part of capt.
tai which been noticeable and which we believe
to have been due uncertainty regarding the of the St.
Louis convention will disappear and many deserving

Still, it must not be supposed for that the cam
