prudence for those who possess political
or administrative power to make use Of
that power in such manner as to allay ap-
prehensions as far as possible. This ce--
tainly Is regarded as no time for radical
experiments.
The overwhelming political overturn
which occurred in 1893, shortly after Pres :
ident Cleveland's second Inauguration, has
been commonly, although incorrectly
ascribed to the apprehensions which his
announcement of his policies and those OF
his party created. The overturn, however
was due to world-encompassing conditions
brought to a crisis because of the failure
of the Barings in London. There had
been unprecedented overexpansion t,t
credit. In this country the enactment Of
the so-called Sherman silver law, which
compelled the treasury to purchase mil
lions of bullion silver a month, was con-
tributing cause. But it is now recognized
misfortune and not the fault of President
Cleveland and his party that there should
have come financial and industrial panic
and distress few months after he was
inaugurated. 1t was the misfortune Of
Cleveland and his party because thoy
went into power at the very moment when
these dangerous conditions which pre-
vailed all over the world were coming to
head.
That now historic example may. our
business men say, be profitably studied
by those who are in administrative and
legislative power in the United States ct
