TIRED OF DELAY. #.
CHICAGO, July Impatient at the
delays of congress in coming to some
decision on the tariff question, promi.
ment business men of Chicago have
united in an appeal that some definite
action be taken at once. The step

much longer delays and further un.

N. Higinbotham and John j. Mitchell,
started out to get signers to q petition
asking congress, in view of the neces-
sites of the countrys commercial in
terests, to draw its deliberations on
the tariff bill to prompt conclusion.
In the words of Mr.. Higgenbotham

I'VE don't care how you settle the
question, but we want you to settle 1t
in some way at once. Until you do
the times will continue hard"
The petition was signed without hes

known wholesale and retail dry goods
merchants, hardware dealers, bankers.

the city. Every firm approached, re-

its members, expressed the heartiest
sympathy with the movement. Follow
