The political fog still hangs heavy
over the stock market, SO that uncer-
tainty ia felt as to the nominations.
How long will the business interests
Of the country patiently submit to this
unsettling political agitation and in
vestigation mania? Capital is not the
only interest that Is suffering from
this sort of political dementia. Enter
prise has already been seriously
checked, and now labor is being
thrown out of employment in increas-
ing numbers by the very agitation
which politicians pretend is for the
benefit of labor. If the investigation
probe could only be applied to some OF
our political agitators, the disclosures
as to motives would doubtless prove
very interesting. In some cases these
motives are quite as open to criticism
as those Of the Money Trust and even
more harmful. Apparently the coun-
try will have to endure this phase
Of agitation until the close of congress,
which will probably not be before the
national conventions in June and July.
We are now to be entertained with
an investigation of the so-called Mo-
ney Trust. Fortunately its original
purpose has been modified and will be
carried out on more prudent lines than
at one time intended. Very possibly
some much needed reforms can be ef-
fected upon the methods Of conduct
ing large flotations, syndicates, etc.
II the investigation Is conducted by
men of prudence and experience, in
stead Of by professional agitators
seeking cheap political advertising,
beneficial results may follow. Never
theless, such an investigation will pro-
long the period OF hesitancy and I'M
certainty In the financial district: for
men of business are not only depress-
ed and harrassed by maneuvering, but
their attention Is diverted from more
legitimate occupations.
Outside of politics the general situa-
ton is not bad. In fact. there is quite
as much OF good as of evil in the gen.
eral business makeup. 1t IL be ad-
mitted that We are still in the period
Of reimbursement following the panic
Of 1907 4 better understanding Of the
present position of affairs can be at
tanned. After q boom of ten or twelve
years. which eliminated in 1907. it is
quite natural to expect q period of sew
eral years to elapse before we get
back to normal conditions. The re-
turn to normal has been made more
difficult by the persistence with which
prices remain near the high level
Even now index figures are only slight
~ below the high record. and there is
littue prospect of immediate relief. AL
lowing that cheapening Of the cost of
gold has had general effect upon
prices the world over. the fact remains
that As . rule supply and demand
chiefly govern prices. and population
in all parts OF the world has gained
