RADICALISM HELD TO BE on
THE WANE.

There is probably no newspaper in
New York that stands closer to the
big interests" than the Sun. 1t s
commonly credited in financial circles
with a pretty thorough insight into
the motives that govern the leaders in
the Street" and to be quite authorit
atiye in its reviews of existing con-
ditions, the events that lead up 10
them, and the hopes of those whose
hands are on the lever at the head
quarters of the nations monetary al
fairs.
The Sun believes that the high tide
of the prosecution of the great corpor-
atoms has been reached and that there
IS already an ebb apparent in the pub
lie feeling aroused against them. The
country is feeling the effects of the
uncertainty and distrust in industrial
circles and a reaction has ensued. The
Sun holds that such Democratic lead
crs as Bryan, Wilson and others Of
lesser Importance have detected this
and accordingly show less radicalism
themselves Even Mr.. Roosevelt, it
insists. is uttering views that for him
are wonderfully conservative.
In its last review of the financial
situation the Sun says some things
that are important if they are we'll
founded. and are at least interesting
as an Xpression of the sentiment in a
large and influential circle in the me-
tropolis. Says it, in reviewing the
things that tend for betterment in con-
ditions in the markets:
There are curious rumors too from
Washington, and they deserve a
stronger name than rumors, to the eff

financial sign that has made it's APP
pearance in the last few weeks has
been along lines thus indicated. The
stand taken by Mr.. Roosevelt is of inn
mense and incalculable Importance. 1t
may or may not have been taken as q
bid for a Presidential nomination or
for other motives personal to Mt
Roosevelt. These considerations are
beside the mark The fact is that Mr.
Roosevelt has taken the stand describ-
Cd and that he will devote himself and
all his influence from now on to what
is at least comparatively the construc-
tive side Of the present discussion of
the relations of the country's Govern
ment to that Of the country's wealth
and capital. 1t must not pass without
notice, however, that the utterance of
Mr.. Roosevelt plainly places the mat

election the candidates to be voted for

interests than that which was afforded
