Show oo . AN OPEN AND SHAMEFUL ALLIANCE. ALLI-ANCE. The New York World, quoting from four Standpat Republican party leaders, lead-ers, who have been shouting panic and praying for the same to como to pass, expresses its contempt In these words: "For such a party It is only a step from the wish to the deed. The evil passions that men secretly cheri6h develop later into notorious wrongs that afflict the earth. When a political poli-tical organization devotes itself to panic It i becomes an active agent of panic "There is not a Republican leader who does not know that financial disquiet dis-quiet Is universal. If those who wait upon panic and distress are as familiar famil-iar with foreign markets as they are with Wall Street, they know that con- bois in ionaon reached the lowest price ever recorded for them yesterday, yester-day, and they know that In every' Continental capital there is commercial commer-cial caution and uncertainty. Can a free nation tolerate a political party that is In open and shameful alliance with the piratical speculative interests inter-ests that find profit in disasters which they engineer?" There should be a concerted effort on the part of the independent independ-ent newspapers of the country to discourage this outrageous beating of the drums of panic by the Standpat press. There 1B not an old-lino party organ that is not making some discouraging dis-couraging buBlnoss aspect its leading story each day and dwelling on the dark side of the industrial outlook. A desire to involve the country in financial upset is unmistakably disclosed dis-closed by the carrying on of the - I most reprehensible campaign of dls l trust over attempted in this or anj I other nation. oo 1 |
