thority, however eminent, can reason
ably ask that we accept the theory.
Now, according to facts, the panic
which was commonly known as that
of 1898 might very properly have been
known as that Of 1890 or 1891, because
it was under the Mckinley tariff bill,
which became law on Oct s, 1890,
that the first signs of this disturbance
appeared.
On Nov. II, $780,. Barker Bros,
bankers, Of Philadelphia, suspended
with liabilities of $5,000,000, and the
clearing houses of both New York and
Boston voted their certificates to
banks in need of assistance. There
were other big suspensions and fail
ures in this year and the next
In 1892, while the country was still
under the Republican administration
and Republican tariff law, strike aft
er strike broke out as a result of the
workingmen's attempt to resist reduc-
tions in wages, and these strikes cul-
minated in the great Homestead
strike and riot In other words, the
panic of 1893 was well under way
when Cleveland came into Office
Under the same tariff law in 1893
there we're more than 1900 failures
in the United States, involving losses
amounting to $346,000,000
On the other hand, after the Dem
ocratic revision had gone into effect in
1894 the number of failures fell to
$4,000, and the amount involved fell
to $173, 100000, or less than half In
1895 the number of failures was near.
ly 1000 less, ard the amount involved
remained about half There were more
failures than this in 1911 under Taft
(13,44D
1Ir Wanamaker is silent regarding
the Republican panics of 1873 and
1907.
In view of the facts, then, is Mr..
Wanamaker justified in his appeal?
Do not the facts prove quite the op-
posite of his contention?
There is another matter, in my oDin
ion very important, for US as business
men to keep in mind and that is the
bearing of the coming election upon
the. development of a better basis Of
credit. The Republican tariff and Re
publican policies have fostered great
concentrations of capital in monopo-
lies and trusts
Upon this great question also Gov
ernor Wilson is entitled to our sup
port Mr.. Roosevelt favors the recog-
milton of monopolies as inevitable, and
this is logical, as he favors con,
troIled continuation of the conditions
under which they have developed Mr..
Taft is against monopoly, but he is for
a continuation of the laws which have
brought them into being. Governor
Wilson, alone of the candidates. has
taken a consistent position for the
preservation of the individual in the
business world he alone of the candi-
dates is pledged to legislation which
viii prevent such financial confeder-
acies as now control the business and
credit of the nation.
Therefore, being convinced that
prosperity now awaits only stable con
ditions and a proper basis of credit,
j am firmly Of the opinion that we. as
business men should work and vote
| for Governor Wilson.

YOUR SPOKESMAN, NOT
YOUR MASTER.

Here are the closing words of
Woodrow Wilson's address s
which brought to their feet the
great audience in Carnegie hall,
New York, on the night of Oc-
tober 10:
1t is not merely a matter of
candidates. / should be abaShed
if I supposed that it was a mat
ter of the wisdom or the discre-
ton of individuals. do not be-
lieve in government that de
pends upon the ability and dis
cretion of few individuals.
Applause
If 1 am fit to be president 1t
is only because / understand
you. [Applause.l And if | do
not understand you / am not fit
IF I am not expressing in this
speech tonight the aspirations
and the convictions of the men
who sit before me / beg that
they will not vote for me. / DO
NOT WISH TO BE THEIR
MASTER; / WISH TO BE
THEIR SPOKESMAN.
| rejoice to say that as / wait
ed for your gracious applause to
cease I realized that in that SEN
tence | summed my whole phi
losophy and my whole desire.
| thank you for your attention.

will not join the knights of Columbus.
Even if he wished to join that organi-
zation he could not. He is not eligible
We say this for the information and
comfort of Thomas E. Watson, of At
lanta. Ga. In it's issue of Oct. 13 the
Times said that Gov Wilson joined
the New York chapter of the Knights
of Columbus at dinner in celebration
of Columbus day on Saturday eve
ming Joining the Knights at a dinner
commemorating the discovery of
America is not exactly the same
thing as entering the membership of
the organization. If Mr. Watson of
Atlanta, being invited to dine at a
friends house, should linger with the
gentlemen at the dinner table for
cigars and conversation, he might
thereafter join the ladies, but that
would not make him one of them
Yet Mr.. Watson, totally misunder
standing and misinterpreting the re-
port of the Columbus day dinner, per.
mitted himself to be scared quite out
Of his wits at the notion that Gov
Wilson had become a knight of Co
lumbus, with all that that implies,
and he thereupon made the important
announcement that he could no longer
support the governors candidacy We
hope he will be rep sured, be calmed,
soothed and quieted when he learns
that his worst fears cannot be real

The book was destroyed in the San
Francisco fire when the Eberleins al
most lost their lives.
One of the most striking lessons to
be observed in the book was the de-
probation of the colonial currency
during those years. In Feb. 1777, there
was one entry of 800 pounds sterling
balanced by 1000 dollars of the Con-
tinental money while in March 1779, 80
pounds sterling required $4,000. The
bottom seemed to be about reached in
March 1881, when one entry of s150
were equivalent to $4,000 of the Co.
lonial money. Today one pound ster-
ling is equal to about four dollars
eighty-fve cents.
