at its head and in its ranks, has strenuously
contended for several years that the ad.
mnistration was strikngly wrong in many
cardinal and important points of policy on

ded, and that in time, all business men
would discover it, and be, in the end, inju

During the last four or five years, very
many Of the considerate, rejecting men OF

the Wings, and of course have been regu-
