Hoist By Their Own Petard Not Yet Perfect Ever since Secretary McAdoo announcement that the United States Treasury stands ready to pour into circulation $500,000,000 in new currency, sinister interests which from motives of plunder, revenge and desire tp discredit the administration at Washington, sought artificially to breed panic cond'tions, ha've been paying the penalty of their greed, malice and folly. The sappers who day after day in Wall Street did their utmost to undermine the securities market, are hoist with their own petard. Stocks which they had depressed, suddenly braced themand selves. Banks unlocked their strong-boxe- s made their surplus reserves available to strengthen commerce, enterprise and industry. Bears who had been poundng down, securities by the old. crooked Method of gambling In futures in other words, contracting to deliver goods they did not possess have been compelled to buy the stocks at high prices.

' On Wednesday, the 11th of June: they had succeeded in driving down this stock to the mark of 137. In the- evening papers of the same day, the McAdoo announcement was spread broadcast all over the country.

Wobbly backbones stiffened. Courage grew more courageous. Business men of every walk and occupation took a renewal lease of faith and vigor. A comical but none the less significant dent of the occasion, was the unconcealed rage of some who had hoped to exact big interest for their hoardings by raising the cry of mone . , , stringency. This class of interests now loudly proclaimed that there had been plenty of njpncy all along. Only the day before they and their press organs had been hriekng that there was no money to inci- , be had. . But the business community and the peppie at large, grasped the situation with amazing quickness. The episode was recognized as unique. The Government had taken time by the foreloek. It was the first instance On record when any administration had done so in a case of like character. It had been the un;form, and often the fatal policy of the Treasury Department in former years, to wait until panic materialized, and then come to the rescue when it was too late. President Wilson and Secretary McAdoo stamped out panie in the germ. They scattered the cloud before it was the size of a mans hand. They laid bare with instant and unflinching surgery the forced and artificial nature had of the growth which depression-quacker- y the on Jn cutting sought to engraft away the ulcer, they proved the smallness of the abnormal growth itself.

The harder the would-b- e destroyers of securities are hit by the futures thev have, been gaming in, the worse for them, and the hetter for honest men. The country is all right, the stock gamblers have no more power to interfere with the era of enterprise and prosperity than Mother Partington had to sweep back the ocean with her broom. And the decent man of business, who is going sturdily ahead, is confirmed in his confidence by the fact that he has the Government at3rashing-toand the United States Treasury back of him. - v National Monthly.- - 7 body-politi- GORDON,..'..
