ASKED IOf an 1QGerYl6W on GQo reCeQG
reports ofanimpending panic, William
Jennings Bryan made the following
statement
"We hear suggestions of a panic
whenever any reform legislation is
mentioned. When tariff reform is
discussed we are told that the country
is very prosperous, but that it would
be thrown into a panic at any time by
tariff tinkering. Whenever the trusts
are assaulted, we are told that any in
reference with their plans will pro-
duce panic, and the railroad mana
gers are certain that panic will sure
ly follow any effective regulation. 1t
is fortunate for the country that we
are in better position than we have
been for many years to proceed with
reform legislation. There has been
a gradual rise in prices since 1898, Que
to the increased production of gold
which has enlarged the volume of
money throughout the world. A gen.
eral panic is impossible when prices
are rising. AS long as man can sell
his property for more than he pays for
it, he is not afraid of bankruptcy.
While there may be readjustments
from time to time when speculation
raises the price Of particular pro-
duct above the normal level, there
need be no fear of panic.
'Production is always encouraged
by rise of prices and production is
going to grow in this country without
cessation. The trouble is with the
distribution. The trusts, the tariff
barons and the railroad managers
have been getting too large a share Of
the wealth produced and the public is
ready for reform legislation and it can
secure this legislation without any
interference with the prosperity of the
country for the general level of prices
is rising, and will continue to rise for
some years yet, as no falling off in the
production of gold is yet apparent. If
the trusts are dissolved, the separate
factories will continue and their out
put will be larger, because, when the
extortion is eliminated, the people can
buy more goods. The same is true
with the reduction of the tariff. With
a readjustment in the prices of manu-
featured goods, there will be a larger
output and a greater demand for labor.
With the reduction in freight rates,
the people will have more money with
which to buy the productions of labor,
and the increased demand for products
will raise wages, rather than lower
them, and will give the wage Garner his
share of the prosperity. There is no
need to fear panic and the people
ought not to be scared away from the
necessary reforms by the threats that
are always made by those, who, hav-
ing their hands in other peoples poe
kets, object to being disturbed. The
theory of these benefciaries of the
trusts, high tariff and high railroad
rates, is that, when the country IS
prosperous, you must not legislate for
fear of interrupting prosperity, and
when the country is not prosperous,
you must wait until prosperity comes
before you regulate. y

cit is substantially certain, y de-
clares Herbert Knox Smith in report
to President Roosevelt, that the en-
tire earnings of the Standard Oil sys-
tenn from 1882 to 1906 were at least
s790, 100000 and possibly much more.
The total dividends were S55l, 922, 904
or over twenty -four per cent year.
These enormous profits have been
based on an investment worth at the
time of its original acquisition not
more than s75, ZOO, ooO.n AS conclu-
sion drawn from his official investi-

efficiency, but rather by unfair compe-
