Show ELECTION DOUBTS AND FEARS I A gentleman from the East said to the writer of this yesterday and by I the way the gentleman la by Instinct a Democrat There will bo no more I enterprises Inaugurated In the East until un-til men begin lo judge by the Indications Indica-tions of the campaign how the election 1 IB going I the election of Mr Bryan i could be assured today there would be such n closing down of credits all over the East as would paralyze business and It would take but a few days to plead the disaster all the way from New York bay to San Francisco bay Right or wrong tho men who control the finances of the East fear that the election of Mr Bryan would mean a revolution in tho whole financial system sys-tem of the country and they are going to prolect themselves If they ever once conclude that there Is clanger of that consummation I will not hurt them but will paralyze business and men in business who owe debts or men who have enterprises half completed will be stranded even as they wore In 1S93 This Is what The Tribune has said repeatedly and all the answer returned re-turned has been that it is 3 threat held out to Influence the election I Is not put out as a threat but as a fact I would fall first on labor then on the men who employ labor and generally on the men who with some capital and by their own exertions are forging ahead to try to make an inheritance I came in 1893 without any cause except ex-cept to give Mr Cleveland backing for his extra session and his demand to destroy silver as money I was car j ned further that year than tho bankers Intended it should be and got to be u general panic from sea to sea I was starled without a fear it culminated in a great terror With Mr Bryans election it would start with a real fear and God only knows where It would terminate I was for this that a majority of the great Eastern States besought Mr Bryan not to force the silver Issue upon the country this year I has taken three years to recover from that depression and all the conditions con-ditions have been most favorable or the recovery would not have been made Property has resumed its natural value but very many thousands of men who had property when the crash came do not own it now Just now more laborers arc employed at helter wages than were ever employed in the country before Just now prices are as high as they ought to be Everything Is advancing its fast as It ought lo and except for the dread of bow the election will come out this year there would not be a cloud in the sky except ex-cept that one which makes the sky of the Orient black People do not realize tho mater yet but should as the canvass can-vass proceeds the fear lake hold of men that Mr Bryan Is really going lobe lo-be l > elected then the first thing that would be seen would be the selling short of the stocks of all the industrials indus-trials along the whole line In the campaig we have to deal with the issues Is-sues as they are and the present condition con-dition Is one of uncertainty and more or less fear |
