MAKES BIG CLAIMS
THE AMERICAN ECONOMIST ON
TARIFF AND THE PANIC.
Unfortunately the Statement That
the Tariff Was Responsible for
Quieting Financial FURRY Is
Not Borne Out by Facts.

It is indeed a pleasure to know
from such an exalted authority as
the American Economist, the organ
Of the tariff-protected trusts, that the
panic is over, and it was the high
tariff which cured our financial ills.
But in spite of this assurance or the
Economist there is every day still
published news of this and that fac
tory shutting down, or ~discharging
half or more Of their workmen, n OF
wages being reduced. Is the tariff
which protects the trusts working at
cross purposes, or is the Economlst
mistaken in it's diagnosis of present
conditions? Even the New York pa
pers, which have evidently entered
into a league for the purpose OF mini
MIXING the panic, do not seem able
to swallow the good news that the
panic is over, or that the protective
tariff saved the day. I'VE know, of
course, that protection brought us all
our national blessings" says the
Evening Post, "and would, if not him
dered now and then by satanic free
traders. avert every public i'll; but
we did not expect to see the truth set
forth so bluntly as it is by the Econo-
mist. The tariff it says, mad moth
ing whatever to do with bringing on
this financial furry, but it had a ire
mendous lot to do with quieting it,
We can easily understand, therefore.
that faith in protection was
more alive since people have seen it
cause the worst money panic the
country has known for Is years to
disappear inside of five days Our
only regret is that the bankers and
rotary of the treasury should have
been in ignorance Of all this, and
should have spent haggard days and
nights ever the questions of reserve
and gold imports, when all the while
there was the tariff fairy godmother
making their anxiety needless and
their labors s~uperfiuous. But we fear
that the foolish men would still press
one question upon the Economist:
Granting that the tariff ended the
panic, how did it happen to slip a
cog and let the panic occur at all?"
There be those that claim that the
tariff has SO protected the trusts and
monOpolists that it has led them to
branch out too greatly after the enor-
nous profits the tariff has protected
them in charging, and this kind Of
bolstered up prosperity has just
broken down of it's own weight for
lack of enough fuel to feed on. Wheth-
er this view is the correct one, or
whether the organ of the trusts is cor
rect in it's statement that the panic
is over, and that "the tariff had moth
ing to do with bringing on this finan-
cial furry, but it had a tremendous
lot to do with quieting it," will 500
be seen, and the truth will eventually
prevail. The last Republican plat
form declared that "a Republican
tariff has always been followed by
business prosperity" but then that
was so VIGOROUSLY untrue that it
should be taken with due allowance
AS simple partisan boasting, and the
boast of the Economist may be like
unto it. Time will tell and not very
long will be required, either.

Mistakes of Roosevelt.

If President Roosevelt is as care
less of his financial facts as he is of
the law on several matters he will
hardly go down into history as a safe
man to follow. There is no excuse for
a president to make misstatements
about the laws or the financial affairs
Of the United States. for he has an
army Of legal and financial talent to
look up the law and the facts, and
when he said there was mo legal war

The mysterious earthquake recorded

The mysterious earthquake recorded
some weeks ago., which could not be
located, has found a startling solution.
That a mountain should fall, burying
hundreds and wiping out an entire
population, bears gruesome testimony
to the truth of the instruments which
recorded a disaster as great if not
greater than the one which over
whelmed San Francisco. Other dis
asters are dwarfed into insignificance
beside this appalling record of the
work of nature, which all the prudence
and OF man can neither fore
see nor prevent.
