BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author Of aAt Good Old siwash."

CONFIDENCE is that mysterious
mental talent which enables
~ banker to loan citizen $500 on
$4,000 worth of perfectly good security
without accommodating white hairs while
waiting for the note to mature.
The United States is operated upon
cash and confidence in equal parts. rms
is a busy and growing nation ana IL mas
no time to wait for Alaska to produce
the gold necessary to finance our actlVl-
ties. When an American clIllen mas
accumulated a thousand dOIl&rs ne
makes it the first payment upon $5OUU
business and leans up against con1l-
dence for support
AS a rule this works so well that in
two years the citizen has paid the otner
$4,000 He now takes his $4,000 In
property, mixes it with $4,000 worth OF
fine, healthy American confluence when
is composed of two parts hustle, three
parts optimism andTiVe parts reckless
ness. and launches gaily forth IN Sl5,-
600 venture
About this time a presidential cleo
ton approaches and 1t becomes neces-
sary, for political reasons to pull the
bung out, Of the confidence barrel rms ms
is done by the newspapers which are
hostile to the administration with skill
and dispatch. The closing down OF
pickle factory is advertised in large
type while the opening Of new steel
mill is censored by the political editor.
Pale men with Overhanglng brOWS toll
over editorials deploring the fact that
the nation will soon be reduced to one
meal a day and a general cloud of thick
woollv gloom settles down over all who
are not in accord with the admintstra-
tioQ.
This continues for a month or two
after which the banker begins to suffer
from heart failure. Summonlng the
manufacturer he orders him to close up
his mills, pay his notes and deposit
, his wife's jewelry as collateral for a
small loan to pay his board bill. He
piles his cash in the darkest corners of
the bank vaults, builds concrete walls
