Our fathers came down and built the

Where the myriad peoples he.

And one to labor withal.
They loved and fought and they won.

BUSINESS AND PREJUDICE

Whenever the demagogues IN Con
gress or elsewhere want TO impress
the "peepul," for whom they profess
to speak. they clamor against wealth
as represented by wall Street" and
they proceed to hammer the great
financial center OF the country good
and hard. They are acclaimed by the
ignorant and tnthinkinG, who fail to
recognize that Wall Street is but a
name and that the demagogues are
merely blowing of against the whole
country. AS a we'll Informed writer
points out, New York IS the natural
business capital of the country.
mainly because Of It's geographical
location. which no prejudice or jeal,
ousy can shake. It's rise to the posi-
ton OF the worlds business capital
means that the country as as whole is
the chief financial and commercial
power.
Wall Street." in its popular mean.
ing, is not local to New York. 1t is
found in every center in the country
where money accumulates in one
form and another, and where men
gather to plan and to build with
money. Wall Street is another name
FOR capital and enterprise. These find
expression chiefly and naturally in
and through New York: without cen
tralization and coordination of bust
ness energy there can be no dnan'
cial and commercial supremacy for
the country.
4 convention which assembled at
Atlantic City during the past month
at the call of the Chamber Of Com
merce Of the United States repre-,
scented more than half a million bust
ness men and every industry in every
State Of the Union. BY resolution
these. interests pledged themselves
unreServedly, IN full cognizance OF
the burdens involved, to the full anV
unqualified support of the govern
ment in this war The character of
the representatives Of American busl-
ness is such as to command the re-
spect Of all classes of the public.
The sweeping away Of prejudices
which obstrucs legitimate business
enterprise is an essential OF national
solidarity, which means something
more than limiting to wartime ones
loyalty to the flag and the govern
ment. Sympathy and support for the
honorable aspirations Of American
business are essentials of our future
growth.

| She discouraged the purchase Of
foreign manufactured articles and
taught her people that as a matter Of
both economic advantage and loyalty
to the nation. they should avoid send
ing money out Of the country to buy
goods made by the workmen Of other
lands.
Such was long the policy Of the
United States. We departed from
that policy for short time In the
early nineties when the Cleveland
administration was guiding national
affairs, and again In 1913 when d.
vision IN the ranks OF protectonists
gave national control to the party
that follows the doctrine OF F. w
Taussig. now Chairman Of the Tariff
Commission, who says: ITO import
thing Is not source Of loss when
we import the thing more cheaply
than We make 1t at home"
That was what Russia thought.
We were formerly dependent upon
Wales for tinplate. but we put up a
protective tariff wall and made 1t our.
selves cheaper than we had bought
it in Wales. II we had then estab-
tlished protective duty on dyes we
should have learned long ago how to
make dyes as cheaply as we got them
from German monopoly. Unfortun.
ately. we pursued the Taussig theory
and, while combating monopolies at
home. paid tribute to the dye barons
