THE PRESIDENT
AND CONFIDENCE

President Wilson, speaking
before the Reserve Board, OF the
tad state of business throughout
the country, said: MY feeling
about the present situation is
this: The only thing lacking is
confidence. Guess you are right
Mr.. President, but why don't
you supply the confidence.
The President continued: We
are more nervous than there Is
cause for, and if we go about
business as if nothing were hap.
peuing, business Viii take care
of us as we take care If 1t. But
Mr.. President, something has
happened. Iou have repealed
the ,arotective tariff Law and
passed on experimental currency
law and generally made the
future dark, doubtful and uncer'
tain. If it is not your Admins
tration what theipeople lack con-
fdence in?

ance of trade.
If we sell 5000, 100000 worth
of goods to Europe and buy the
same amount from over there, no
money necessarily changes hands
But if we buy from Europe more
than We sell to it, the balance
must be paid in gold. This is
what has happened under the
Democratic tariff law. Under
protective tariff, we always sold
more goods abroad than We
bought ~ it; and let Europe do
the worrying over the Ices OF
gold.

were to ride behind him. We
started from the Hotel, and as
soon az the said Cnsufier got
enough speed he let the clutch
