a man whose mind is twisted in
that way might reason thus: THE
bankers Of the country do not like
the currency bill. They desire to
arouse public sentiment against it.
They have all the money and all the
credit Of the country. They can Gre
;,te the appearance Of Il panic by re-
fusing loans Il alleging that their
action Is prompted by fear of the pas
age of the present currency bill. That
would influence sentiment against the
bill. II men who have been denied
loans would appeal to their congress-
men to prevent the passage of the bill.
And because all this is possible. it
must have happened.'
Conclusions which amount to con-
victions are often based ON just this
sort Of reasoning, and because the
premises are SO vague it is not always
easy to dispose effectively Of the con-
cli,sions. T;ut the article in Harper's
is not Of this character. Definite
charges are made that definite thinga
have been done. If they have been
done somebody knows when and
where. Is there IL a in the coun-
try who will say that when he an
Piled for a loan he was old that while
his security was ample, and while the
bank had plenty Of money, none
would be loaned because the banker
was afraid that the passage Of the
currency bill would ruin the country
and probably destroy that particular
bank? Is there such a man," II SO,
where is he to be found. Let him
speak up.. What bank refused a loan
under these circumstances:
1t seems to us thai Harper's Week
~ has placed itself in a position where
it must either furnish this information
or admit that it was talking without
information. In other words. il has
hunted up that familiar and much ov.
erworlied old implement, the muck
rake, and has used it with q ven.
geance.
Every person who has followed with
moderate attention the discussions of
n currency bill knows that there is
no unanimity of opinion among bank
ers or other people concerning it. Be-
u the subject is closely related
to their business the bankers of the
countr% have studied it closely, and
have expressed themselves freely con.
corning 1t. A few of them are utter
~ opposed to it, in principle and in
detail. and have expressed the opinion
that If passed it will be a serious
menace to the prosperity of the u
try a lew are of the opinion that
the bill is nearly perfect as il is. Eut
by far the greater number Of bankers
