WAR ON BUSINESS coUNTER.AcTS
ZIG CROPS.

Nature has been a democratic ally
since the party became dominant IN
Washington. Bumper crops, many OF
them record breaking, have been the
rule. They have formerly been the
barometer of business conditions.
Wheat has set all the wheels Of trade
in motion heretofore. The prosperity
of the farmers has meant prosperity
for the railroads, for the steel mills.
for the textile industries, for every
form of commercial endeavor The fail
ure of the democratic tariff in other
periods when the nation has expert
mented with it has been blamed on
crop failures or other adventurous
causes. This time, on the contrary
nature has been prodigal in support OF
the party program. 1t has surpassed
all expectations in the production OF
wealth. The new tariff, therefore, has
been tried so far under the most favor
able conditions possible.
Why, then, is the revival of trade so
slow, if there be any revival at all?
Why is it that bounteous crops have
failed to give the usual impetus to
business? Free trade could not ordi-
narily prevent, in less than a single
year. prosperity In country
which was favored by such agricul-
tural success. The crops would nor
mally have overcome the losses result
ing from tariff readjustment, or have
POSTPONED their effect Yet in the face
Of this favorable factor, and despite
the Inauguration of new currency sys-
tenn. which Is admittedly excellent,
business continues to drag half-heart-
edly along.
The war on business has done more
harm than the tariff. It has prevent
ed the accommodation Of industry to
new conditions. 1t has introduced the
factor of uncertainty, the most deadly
factor business knows. It has permit
ted no opportunity for recuperation..
The attacks continue to be insistent
and more and more embittered. That
business is as good as 1t is'a remark
able proof Of the wonderful inherent
strength Of our commercial instltu-
tons. But there must be limit. the
brakes should be applied now. unless
the administration intends its domes-
tic policies to become as unpopular
and discredited as its foreign pollcles
are, 1t will call halt while there Is
still time and not insist on pulling the
whole structure of prosperity down IN

will be generally approved for the
reason that all the time this govern

would be merely to place greater
burden on the Mexican people who, In

The decision, too, goes far to prove
the disinterestedness of this country
in demanding that Mexican affairs be
Strengthened out and that stable gov
