that we reproduce the following ed
itorial, first published in the Logan

months of anxious waiting. during

Or immense quantities OF goods. The &
ithdrswal of orders from American
'ctories will cause every plant to I
nut down, force millions Of men into O
lleness and line the sidetracks with O
npty cars. "
In order to pay the bills of the for
gn manufacturers, millions OF dol
RS of American gold will have to o
sent abrosd. This will deplete the 8
INK reserves, with consequent call II
& of loans (What Woody's Congress n
remaining in session now for) and &
e sacrificing Of securities In order c
raise ready money. This means
and financial panic.
