WAR AND THE STOCK MARKET.
Perhaps some light is thrown on
the extraordinary war fever which
has seized the metropolitan press by
the following daily market letter."
issued by a Wall street broker, Geo.
Graham Rice, on Feb. 5.
This letter does not discuss
rights" OF national duties" but it's
explanation Of the response Of the
stock market to the threat of war is
blunt to degree and should be kept
in mind; it is the key to the pressure
now being steadily exerted upon the
administration to plunge us into war.
Pressure equal and opposite MUST
be exerted. The letter follows:
when on Saturday at 11:15 a. m.
the news was flashed that Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff had been handed his
passports, uncertainty changed to
certainty and the stock markets be-
gan a. recovery. Today the rise was
continued = es
'The situation in a nutshell, as ex-
pressed by the highest banking au-
thOrities, is about like this:
eve are on the verge of war with
several Of the great nations Of the
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-02-23

world. These nations are 'cribbed,
cabined and confined by the navies
and armies Of such powerful govern
ments as England, France and Italy.
The American nation is, in fact,
about to enter upon a national joy
fest. This country with its untold
resources, richer than any other
country in the world, is about to en-
gage in war with nations of the first
class and enjoy all the thrills Of war
without being compelled to do any Of
the real fighting. We shall now place
ourselves upon a war footing equal
to that of any of the warning parties,
and with only the remotest POSSIBLE
ity Of an invading army or an inVad-
ing navy reaching our shores. To
place ourselves in a proper position
we are about to spend $2,000,0 100000
or more of American money, and
spend it at home.
''In fine, overnight, $4,000, 100000
worth of new home-buying has come
into existence, and the buying power
from abroad, which recently has
been looked upon as pinchback, now
becomes the genuine article. In
bounded prosperity is at hand. Prac-
ticany everything that is needed for
war purposes in this country can be
supplied in this country, and the
governments treasure, which will be
poured into the lap of producers and
manufacturers, will remain here.
'rPosterity may pay the debt in in
creased taxation and prosperity may
feel the burden, but at this time the
country and its flourishing popula-
ton are bound to feel the quick and
full effect of the Unloosening. -

days, or weeks at most, until wages
would begin to rise and commodities
to lower, for the reason that when
you open the avenues Of productivity
and furnish capital by the govern
ment at a very small interest and
transportation at cost you would in
crease production and decrease spec
ulation.
Thousands of opportunities would
then be open for the surplus labor in
crowded centers to go farming and
stock raising, and that would compel
the factory owners to raise wages.
This increase Of production would
have a tendency to lower the price Of
fOodstUffs and lower the cost of Iiv-
ing in general. Then after those
measures were in working order we
could consider the public ownership
of diaries, slaughter houses, grain
elevators, cold storage houses and
even large manufacturing plants

COMPETITION VS.. MONOPOLY.
The proof that monopoly is prefer
able to competition rests on observa-
ton. Look around your neighbor-
hood and count up the wrecks of
competition. Ask. yourself which of
the two you prefer in your business.
Observe the people joining together
in unions to lessen the ravages Of
competition. Now the same rules
