Depression.; (Called Frets lt Wire.) Kew Xorlc, Oct J 1. Supporting Mm i self with a can because of an Injury to bis knee sustained In a fall at his hotel. Secretary Boot appeared at the Durland Biding academy Nasrjjcheduled tonight - and addressed an eirfience which packed the building- from pit to dome. Notwith standing frequent twinges of pain which were reflected In Mr. Root' face from time to time as he" spoke, : the secre tary of state carried Ms address through to tbe end and aroused much' enthusi asm. Be said in part: ' Fellow Citizens.' I wish to state some reasons which lead me to believe that Mr. Brvan's election to the presidency would be followed by general and lonx conttnued business disaster; that the recovery now In progress from the panic of last year would stop; that production would be - curtailed, many workmen thrown out ef employment,-wages low ered, the market for farm products and manufactures reduced, and the Income upon investments of private Individuals, of savings banks and Insurance com panies, of charitable and educational in stitutions In a great measure out off, and that a long period of stagnation and distress would ensue such aa we experi enced between 1893 and the election of Mr. MuKinley in 1896. v t ..'. r!-;..'::y. Same Old Bong. ?' . : ' I -cannot doubt Jtfcat the ' election ' f Mr Bryan would destroy the confidence necessary to the continuance of Indus trial and commercial enterprises; and I think that his election would Justly de stroy confidence. " ' i Any change of government from the administration of a party whose prin ciples and practical working" are well known and whose action It la practic ally easy to forecast, to a new set of , men who belong to another party and whose "course In office is a matter of conjecture, in itself . tends to create doubt and hesitancy, and the possibility of such change always keeps many . business enterprises in suspension be fore every presidential election, -v The possibility of Mr. Bryan's elee . tion, however, involves much more than this ordinary doubt. . . r-' poatroll Democracy. We know that !e Js a politician jf treat skill, who. whlla really a PofSi llst In fact, as he was formerly by po litical affiliation, bas secured control of the machinery of the Emocratio party. He advocates a great -variety of measures, which' are grotesquely Inoon autnnt with the nrlnclolea of Thomas complete abandonment-of 'the dootrine that "That government governs best which governs least." and which would brine about an all powerful centralized government in Washington completely destructive of state sovereignty. Tet - th disciples of Jefferson follow -Mm meekly and appear happy to eat out of fcfa hanil. Ha haa taken tha iMnriihin of those elements of the Democratic fiarty which wrecked the second admin ptretlon of Mr. Cleveland, and many or Mr. uieveiana s rnenas ana louow- ers, made of less stern material than that man of strong convictions and hig-h courage have attorned to the new loader. . . I Mr. Bryan proposes in bis - latest platform that nil articles entering Into competition with trust controlled prod ucts shall be placed upon the free4 Hat. ' ; Business of Trust, Examine this for a moment - The great evil of trusts lies in their driving out of business their smaller competi tors, and after these are driven out. putting up prices. The driving out of ousiness is pracucauy uwayi none oj unfair and oppressive means. Indeed it can be' done in no other way except in cases where the trust controls the whole raw material of manufacture, 'for wherever the raw material of man ufacture can be obtained and competi tion has a fair 'chance, the moment prices are jput up competition Increases and the trust control decree sea The Republican plan of dealing with-trusts is to. go after all the big concents which are VlvIng out competition . by unfair practices, to compel them to stop ana xo punisn mem ii iney flo not stop, : so as to arlve the smaller, comDetltora '-a fair chance. .The whole railroad re bate system, for which so many pun ishments have been Inflicted within the last few years, is an illustration of one concerns nave oeen a riving smaller con certts out of business. Would Private Capitalists. ' The -business world distrusts a man or uiu wmpenuneni ana justly aie- trusts him. for he can do Infinite harm. - The news of bis election would .bring doubt and distrust to the mind of every man having money to Invest in - American enterprise. - it -would pre vent all new enterprise. It would reduce the activity of all existlnr enternrlsea. lAck of confidence, -contraction, busi ness aepreasion, ouamesa rail ures, the topping of interest and dividends, re : ductlon In the expense of salaries and wages, more and still more workmen . out of employment, reduced purchasing power of the people and a reduced mar ! let for farm, and factory products au tnese in necessary succession would - be the inevitable result of endowing. this dangerous apostle or Half truths, with the tremendous power of the na tional government to ruia ana to ruin. But the courts! . "Would not the .courts set a limit conduct of business Cannot the busi ness men of the country rely upon the courts to protect tnem in tneir con stlttttional rlrhtsT To that I answer, first, that very mue canitai wiu oe invested upon the understanding tnat it will be lost unless the Investor defeats the national government in litigauon. Investments already made may .. seek to protect ineroseivea oy uugsuon, 'mi. invest ments - not yet' made will never be made at all on those terma" I answer lit the second place, .that the possibility, indeed, the probability of Mr. Bryan's control of the courts n resents the most serious dancer which would, follow his elect too.. -He has . aU ready given us svideeee by bis public utterances that he would, if he could, reconstruct the courts in such a way that they should answer the demands nf what he deems to be publio opinion.
