THE UNCERTAIN MR.. BRYAN.

Bryan as an executive Is an I'M
certain quantity. Can the business
world, in the present exigency, AT
ford to make the experiment? The
country has just passed through
business crisis, and is about ready
for another progressive movement.
The Eastern business world says
Wait until the election Is over and
business will resume its normal con-
d;tion. There is no vestige Of pan
&c in the country, but only the ap-
Irehension of a panic"
This apprehension would grow
alarming with the election Of Mr..
Bryan to the presidency. He is the
exponent of radicalism and untried
theories in administration. His cleo.
tion might not precipitate panic,
hut 1t would check progress until 1t
was known what effect his policies
would have on trade and industrial
conditions. He is bitter in his at
tack on the tariff and the trusts.
What tariff revision means in the
hands of the Democratic party was
we'll tested during the time OF the
Cleveland administration and the op-
Grafton OF the Wilson German tarih
law. Bryan's attack on the corpora
tons and large business interests 10
even more Incorporate than his at
tack on the tariff. His election
would be a menace to the develop
ment of all large business enter
prises. because of the fact Of the un-
certainty attached to the working
out of his policies.
II elected without majority Of
congress at his back, he would be
helpless to carry out the reforms he
is advocating. and II elected with the
support OF the house. the uncertain
ty would be increased. The net re-
| suit would be that the country would
| simply mark time during the Bryan
administration to the detriment Of
many interests and the total wreck
