that when he perceives business in a
whis1;ling frame of mind he can think
of no other explanation. The psychol.
ogy of business, according to these
Repu blican diagn0sticians, is q fear
full and wonderful thing. In 1907, be-
yond any doubt, 1t was some prexi-
sion of 1912 that caused a panic. The
depression of the last two years arose
from the consciousness that, whatever
happened, business was in for Demo
cratic misrule till 1917. But business
can reach an almost unparalleled
pitch of prosperity upon the mere
hope that such misrule will not ex-
tend beyond that year. One puzzling

their authors should admit so much

that a multitude of manufacturers con-
