' - GREATEST PAIJIC WORLD EVER KNEW WAS THAT OF 1907 - i It Came Under 'a Republican Administration After Years Of Republicanism. , ? Efforts to Reproduce It This Year Fail Because of Uni versal Prosperity. i i Washington, D. C. July .81. Re publican politicians In Congress, aid ed by Theodore Roosevelt, are con tinuing their efforts to reap political advantage by plunging the business world into a panic. Comparison of the business and politics of 1907 .un der Roosevelt with : the business (and politics of 1914 under Wilson, there fore, becomes timely and pertinent. In the present year, numerous and convincing evidences are at Hand in dicating that a period of unprece dented .prosperity has begun. This is true.'motwithstandlng the campaign to destroy confidence and paralyze business Jointly waged fpr the last few months by the Repttblican parti sans and their Wall street allies. ' There are many reasons for the en couraging outlook now. Not the least of them lies in the fact that the- new currency lew was put onto the stat ute books by the Wilson administra tion. Thla law was enacted within a year after Fresldent Wilson took office. . After the panic of 1907, what was -done- to . fortify-against panics during the ' six years that the Re publicans remained in power?, Scarcely a calamity speech is made In Congress wHlch does not assert that Republican ruks signifies prosperity and Democratic rule the-reverse. They make loud ado In comparing 1914 with 18 9 4. Not a word do they say, however, about 1907. . ''. - The foremost Republican - author ity upon matters financial in 1907 was the then Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode Island. : Aldrich was high priest of Republican tariff and finan cial doctrice. Not only that, he was the leader of .his party in Congress. On February 10, 1908, delivering a set speech in the Senate Aldrich describ ed the. panic of 1907 as the most acute and disastrous in the history of the Country. He said: "Mr. President, the financial crisis from which the , country has Just emerged, which culminated in a ser i'ous panic in October, was the most acute and disaetroa. in its immediate consequences, of any that has occur red In the history of the country. Nothing but the heroic measures ta ken by the representatives - of the great business and financial interests of the country, acting in co-operation with the secretary ' of - the treasury, prevented a total, collapse of private credit' and a. disastrous destruction of all values. It is impossible to con ceive, much less to measure the loss es which would - have resulted from such a calamity. The country wm saved by the narrowest possible mar gin , from i an overwhelming catastro phe, whose blighting; effect would have been felt In every household. , 'A total collapse was avoided, but the shrinkage in values of securities and property and the losses from in jury to business, resulting from and. incidental to the' crisis, amounted to thousands of millions of lollars.'. . " Prior panics in the United States, tie - continued, had been panics in which serious distrust existed in the public mind as to the security of the whole- or -some, portion of the coun try's currency. . ' . ; "The panic of 1907,? he went on. was not, either in its inception or its progress, a. currency . panic, in the sense to which I have alluded. Our currency, in character was ; beyond question. . . .... 'Neither the strength of the mone tary system, nor the extraordinary ef forts which were, made to avoid the serious result prevented a general suspension of payments : by national banks, with most deplorable and far reaching results. This, suspense .com menced In New:York on October 28 and was followed promptly by a sus pension of banks in Chicago and oth er lpcallties. ' f The issue of 'clearing house-certificates followed in most o! the principal cities." - ; : ; - .-;' ' A ' complete - disruption 'of ex changes between cities and "commun- ities throughout the country took place. It - is ; impossible to estimate the losses which are inflicteu by .this suspension of payments by the banks and the resultant interruption of ex changes. ; f There ; was .financial " em barrassment on every . hand,, and an impossibility f Securing the proper : funds to move crops or .carry' oh the important business of, the, country. The- - suspension and - discouragement of business -operation . threw thou sands of men out of employment, and reduced the wages of the employed." Mark you, this occurred after ten continuous years of Republican rule, with a Republican President in., the White House. Senator Aldrich has painted the pic ture completely and accurately. A mass of ; corroborative testimony , is available, however. 1 ' - Leslie ; M. Shaw, former Governor of Iowa, who then had recently retir ed as Secretary of the Treasury, in a public speech declared that the pan ic of 1907 was "generally conceded to have been the worst that the world has witnessed." , . - In December, 1907, on December 16, to be exact,. Senator Benjamin F. Tillman, of South Carolina, made a speech yet remembered by his col leagues who were in Congress seven years ago.' Tillman drove to - the point in his usual picturesque' and di rect .fashion. He exhibited in the Senate samples of the "scrip" which passed for money in many parts of the United States during October and November, 1907. These samples of "scrip" were reproduced In the Con gressional Record. "Here is a fine looking specimen," Senator Tillman cried, exhibiting .a Southern clearing house certificate to the Senate. "It looks like what you people call Confederate money, with which I was very familiar when I was a boy shin piaster and yet. it was issued by national banks." Among the many such samples thus put in evidence . by the South Caro lina Senator was a little slip of paper typical of the kind of money current on the Pacific Coast that year. It was called "Lumber Money." The lum ber man that memorable fall did not get money for his product; he got an "I. O. U. The severity and causes of the pan ic were told in an editorial published in the Philadelphia North American (Ind.), December 9, 1907: "Fear has subsided sufficiently to make "straight talk safe. For many i weeks tl.e newspapers of the country uniformly maintained an optimistic attitude and refrained from printing facts or comment likely to increase the prevailing commercial dread and thereby hurt the public. Prosperity was- keeping , currency in the' sections where it -was owned, and- WalL , street . wanted that money back again to gamble with -' The money changers stood from : un der the stock market and let it crash upon the small fry. "Eight , months ago John D. Rocke feller started a cry of calamity. Oth ers of the chief money, changers took up the chorus.-And for eight -months the gamblers and - Wall street prophe sied disaster, . preached panic and did their utmost to create calamity. It was not easy saying for a time.. The country was rich. busv and content ed. The panic breed ers were- facing ' unprecedented conditions. Consump tion was larger 'than "production. There was neither dread, nor discon tent; ho scarcity of anything except labor. - . "The country refused to be frightr ened. Brute force must be used.. The money changers then used their most murderous weapon. By their control of the currency they could lock up the money of the country and make it so scarce that business could notpro ceed.. By crippling industry and ere ng distrust they could cut down consumption; make goods cheap and cause the money glut they wanted. They used that weapon." The remedy needed was well under stood even -then. Legislation was de manded which would revise the cur rency system so as to take- away Wall Street's control of the currency. The Progressive - Republicans and the Democrats fought' hard for such legr lslation through the winter and spring of 1908..,.: ut the Cannon machine In the House and the Aldrich machine in the Senate stood in the way. , The . sole ' result was the unwieldy and practically useless Aldrich-Vree-Iand emergency currency act. which contemplated substituting emergency Treasury notes for the clearing house ."scrip" Issued in 1907. , It did not in the least affect Wall street control of the general , currency supply of ,the country. ' i . ''-"' ' Though the Republicans remained In power , for another Bix years after 1907, they Tid nothing of a construc tive character to : reform conditions which had caused the "most .cute and disastrous panic in the history-of the country," - But, as is : stated above, lees than one year after Pres ident Wilson was inaugurated, the present Regional Reserve Act went onto the statute books. : '. I '.-.,. i To discredit the Underwood tariff act, to undermine public faith in the Wilson administration, and to prevent the enactment of the Wilson trust programme, the Wall street interests attempted to cause a panic this year. The Republican partisans in Congress co operated in every . possible way. They failed, first, because the condi tions were fundamentally sound; sec ond, - because the conditions, being sound, an artificial panic could not be created because the regional reserve act had robbed the New York money barons of their control over the cur rency system.;.,-..,';;:.
