Show Tiik liberal ori;an is in a state of mind I that would lead it to lire a houso if it had been predicting a conllagration. It i has been preaching the doctrine that i disaster will follow division on party I lines, and with open arms it would we!-' we!-' come any calamity that would serve as 1 a prop for its failing eaue. The charge i that division will injure business and ! depress the value of property is without ! foundation in fact or In reason. If such ! a result were possible it would already i have appeared, for there is no candid j liberal who does not adn.it that the. end of liberalism is near at baud. The fact is fully recognized that the national I parties are organized 'for keeps," and j liberal leaders admit that it is only a j question of one or two more elections 1 until their party will disappear down ! to the last fragment. With such con-j con-j dilioni business is improving and prop-! prop-! i rtv values are stiffening, whereas there I should be a panic, according to the j Tribune's philosophy. |
