who is now In the city, gives some sig
nificant facts concerning the demand for
campaign literature now springing up.
The call is almost exclusively for tariff
literature, according TO Mr.. Bowling; in
some instances oalls specify that they want
no financial speeches, and from certain
quarters financial literature Is pronounced
of no value. But the volume OF popular
demand is for the tariff and its allied
topics.
A very careful system has been inaugu-
rated through newspapers, clubs and
reading clubs in each town for the distri-
button of this reading matter, and SO
marked has been the demand that the
league is determined, unless specially
ordered, to send out only tariff documents.
