PHILOSOPHY OF PANics.

A panic is an evidence of the dis
satisfaction of human nature in get
ting along with what it needs and of
hot anxiety of getting more than
it needs. Prosperity does not di-
minish the dissatisfaction or anxiety,
but increases them rather. There is
plenty of money, it is easily bor-
rowed, this enterprise is suggested
and that, and soon these enterprises
fail, the supply of money is cut off
and there is your panic.
1t is actually born of prosperity,
or rather extravaganza, excesses and
wild enterprises that go with pros
perity. Bad times follow good times
as the night follows the day.-Ohio

am told only about 100 out of the
250,000 heads of factories in the

the notice which they received was
too short to allow them to present
carefully prepared statements, al
though all of them have the privilege
of submitting briefs at any time
prior to December. The hearings,
which will close on Dec. 4, will have
covered only about three weeks in
the aggregate. The questions put by

81 presume that the committee
aims to get, through these hearings,
information on which it can base a
bill for the revision Of the Dingley
law. In its platform of 1908 the Re-
publican party declared for revision
in special session OF congress. to
be called by the new president just
after his Inauguration. The country,
including the National Association of
Manufacturers, assumed that this
meant honest and not bogus revision.
On this presumption l and a large
majority of the other members of the
association supported Mr. Taft dur
ing the campaign. We used all the
influence we could exert in favor of
his e'ection.
II want to say right here that as,
in its membership, the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers covers al
most all the great crafts of the coun-
try, we never have, as an association,
urged any specific changes, up or
down, in any particular schedules
AS practical men, however, we know
that changes are needed in many
cases, and that the public impere-
lively demands them. All that We
ask is that the change be honest and
be equitable.
''As shown by his speeches and IL
terviews during the campaign, Presi
d@nt-elect Taft also interpreted this
platform declaration to mean honest
revision. 1t is clear to me, from
things which some of his close
friends have said about him in the
asst few days, that in his message t.
congress at the opening of the extra
session he will insist that the plat
form promise Cf honest revision must
be carried out, in spirit and in let
