MONEY IND RESINENS

The week has been rendered peculiarly inter-

Presidents first Message to Congress and the re-
porting Of the Dingley bill, and by the senseless
craze to withdraw goods from warehouse which
seized a large number OF those who like to be

ably considered himself wiser and shrewder than

gone too. You can't cure chronic disease
in that way, and the people are finding 1t
