Washington, L> C., July 31 —
Senator Stone of Missouri, today
charged the Republican members
of congress with attempting to
Cause a panic in America by th^ir

bank failures of the past few
..months as an indication, holding
up to the people and the business
men of the country the fear of
ruin until conditions are so un
settled that a panic is almost
sure to follow.
The Republicans, however, as
sert that the panic, if it comes,
will not be1 caused by talk, but by
the poor business legislation of
tne majority, who are trying to
upset, every settled rule of busi
ness and desire to change the
tariff, the currency and other
fundamental laws of business,
upon which the prosperity of the
business of the country has been
buildcd and now expect that ruin
is sure to follow from the ina
bility of the business world to
