AS the Times correspondent states, Presi-
dent Wilson was careful to show that he was
not hostile to big business, and big business
has gotten about everything that it wanted
from his administration.
The tariff suits them better than did the
Payne-Aldrich tarif-the new currency law
suits them better than did the Aldrich law
and float more bonds on which the people
will pay both principal and interest, so why
should anybody get the idea that Wilson
would be down on big business?
While Republican administrations were in
power the Democratic press throughout the
land was calling attention to our relations
with the countries South of us-calling at

these countries to aid and abet private bust

This was called Dollar Diplomacy, and
Mr. Bryan rallied at Dollar Diplomacy from
Maine to California and to Florida and back
again about the evils of this Dollar Dip lom-

perpetrated upon weak sister Republics
through this evil Republican policy of having
the government aid the private individuals

But have you heard much about the evil
since Mr. Bryan has been Secretary of State
since he has had the job have you heard of
him denouncing the policy that was SO wicked
when it was pushed by Philander Knox?
Mr.. Bryan has just come forward with
bright idea that we underwrite the finances of
all these South American Republics, and Wall
Street says it is brilliant idea originating in
the brain of genius.
So brilliant does Wall Street consider Mr..
Bryan a genius in devising means
whereby they can get the Southern Republics
by the throat and choke the life out Of them,
that we would not be surprised to hear Mr..
Bryan mentioned for the Wall Street Hall of
Fame.
Yes, Mr.. Bryan has developed into what
Wall Street calls genius-he has offered to
