that the chances are that Bryan can

there is strong sentiment in favor
OF Harmon.
There Is also" adds Mr.. Graves "a
really great sentiment for Southern

breathed at Ohios twenty-five Chan-
tauqua assemblies this summer has
been the sentiment Of a reunited coun;-
try, and the Chautauqua platforms nave
had two Southerners to every Northern

sorely provoked, and at this distance
we shall not judge them harshly. We

peace will be restored. Governor Swan
son is to be highly commended for

wholesome effect. and he will have op-

Not a single State outside Of tie
South cast its electoral vote for
Parker
In 1900 Mr.. Bryan, the Democratic
nominee received l55 electoral votes
all of which came from the Southern
States. with the exception of the votes
of Missouri IL Colorado, A. Idaho, g.:
Montana, 8, and Nevada 8, and Mis-
souri, is usually reckoned among the
Southern States.
In 1900 Mr.. Bryan carf2d missouri
and lost Maryland; in 1908 Judge Par
ker carried Maryland and lost Mis-
souri,.
1t is safe to say, however that in
1908 the Democratic party may count
on carrying both OF these States, If
conditions be normal which will give
the South command of l5S Democratic
votes in the electoral college, With
such a showing, with such OF aI>an-
tage, will the South fold her hands
and let other States which cannot de-
liver a single electoral vote dictate the
platform ..name the candidate?
Why should The South hesitate to as
sert her power? Why should she con-
tinue TO furnish the cakes and ale for
the feast and "sit below the salt?
The reply of some is that the time has
not come for the South to act; and of
others that the South has no men quail
flied to run. If the time has not come
II will never come; and as for the men
we have plenty of them that could
make at least as good a run az farkcr

THE FINANCIAL STORM,

The TimesDispatch does not believe
that the country is going to ruin be-
cause Wall Street has case of hys-
terics. Trade conditions are In the
main good, manufacturing plants are
doing thriving business, and labor is
probably employed. Local conditions
are ;irst-rate, and we are informed by
Richmond banker that there Is an
extra ordinary demand for money on
the part of merchants and manufact-
urers to extend their operations
But The Times-Dispatch cndeavors
to present both sides of every question,
and we have taken issue with those
OF our contemporaries which declare
that the attack on corporations and
the decentralization in the stock market
are merely Wall Street matters"
which do not affect tho country at
large. The attacks on railroads and
other corporations have already
shaken confidence and impaired credit.
These attacks are undoubtedly account
able in part for the crumbling Of
prices, and the crumbling Of prices has
greatly reduced the value of collateral
which men in business use as basis
of credit.
BY way of illustration let us con-
slider the situation Of a man who has
lantic Coast Line Company, the par
value of which Is $4,000. We are not
speaking of a Wall Street man, but a
Richmond man. In January, 1906, that
stock was worth on the open market
s167 n share. or $4,000. AT that
time the owner could have borrowed
on his stock certainly as much as SIS
000 probably more The closing bid
on the stock yesterday was SIS share,
or $500 for hundred shares. Hence,
the borrowing power of the stock to-
day is less than $500, or not half so
great as 1t was eighteen months ago.

road, so far as physical values go.
as it was in January, 1905. The man
has the same stock, and he may have
IT securely locked in his box where the
Wall Street bears cannot reach 1t.
But It's value at bank has been cut In
two. This is an extreme case, but the
decline in the price of all railroad
stocks has been enormous. Here are
