Whom the panic came on few
weeks ago it seems that the admins
tration at Washington became so bad
ly scared as to fairly stampede 10 and
caused Mr.. Roosevelt and his secre-
tory ofthe treasury, Mr.. .Cortelyou, to
do things which were not only unlaw-
full but which cannot be justified by
good reasons and good sense. They
began pouring the money of the Unit
ed States treasury, the money which
belongs to the people, into big banks
free offnrerest to be lent to the people
at anywhere from six to thirty per cent
interest which the banks added to their
profits. S2e0,00O,o00 of the people IS
money was loaned to the banks in this
way out of which the banks made
many millions in loaning it at high
rate ofinterest on tight money market
This was bad enough but it is not the
worst. Mr.. Cortelyou comes forward
and tells the people that after exhaust
ing all means at his command by loan
ing the peoples money without inter
tat he was unable to do more witho ut
borrowing money. This he proposed
doing by the authority granted by
Congress TO borrow money for two
quite different purposes, - for max
ing the Panama canal and for
the Spanish war. This he proposed
doing to the amount of $3.50, 900 900 if
necessary and implered the people TO
buy these bonds. He offered TO pay
two per cent ON the Panama bonds
and three per cent on the Spanish war
script that he might be able to loan
this additional amount 10 the banks
without interest.
1t will thus be seen that the admin
stration not only loaned the peo-
pies money to the banks without
interest to the amount of hundreds Of
millions but offered to borrow money
at interes. 10 loan still more money
without interest.
What cry these same gentlemen
set up when President Cleveland is
sued Uonds to save the credit OF the
government when the Republican
party had depleted the treasury.

it is very different and very seriou:

it is very different anda very serious
thing, Even in time of overlooking
national prosperity, even in time Of a
prosperity more evenly distributed and
shared than ever before in the history
of this or any other country, it was
possible for Mr. Roosevelt 10 achieve
q disaster that ordinarily eould en>ue
only in time Of great public depression,
disappointment and common mistor-
tune.
Ire had not the slightest apprehen-
sion of what he was doing. No ray of
business intelligen &c ever entered his
brain or ever can enter his brain. He
cannot even now understand that
when ths President of the United
States, year after year, anremittingly
assails the stability Of fourteen billions
Of money in. ested in single Ameri-
can industry-to wit-our railroads
he Is bound by virtue Of the weight
and tradition Of his office TO bring
about . crash. What did he care for a
Wall street panic? A mere disturb
anee among gamblers and steekjob-
bers? After I4lling down the house he
wonders what made II fall
Well, matters are relatively better,
much better. When confidence is re-
stored once more we all speedily be
ourselves again. But 1t will take long
long time to repair the breaches that
have beenl made, while for countless
things can never be the same. Fer
many it Ia too late in life to begin all
over again, and for yet many others
the damage lis quite irreparable and
beyond the reach OF hope. All credits
must be re-established or else recreated,
That is inexorable; but, happily to peo-
pie of our temperament, it will come
easily enough, and already the whole
county is addressing itself to the task
with q degree Of fortitude that nothing
can abate.
The national sense of recuperatlon is
founded In the conviction that Mr..
Roosevelt has accomplished his self
imposed mission and that Lo is functus
omsis. His message filled, with warm
ed-ovsr associations and shopworn alar-
ums, has been received with inditfer-
enss and contempt andaAismissea as
