Every mail brings Inquiries from out
of-town clients who want to know IL the
bottom has been reached, or whether
the present is not a good time to buy
stocks. Brokers are expressing surprise
at the interest thus exhibited. The tn
vestment buying in odd lots grows
steadily. It no sooner lags in one direc-
tion than it appears from another. The
specialist in General Electric bought
1000 shares of that stock on Monday
and split IL into small lots for buyers
who wanted il to put away. Instances
of such buying abound. In many broker
age Offices they say their odd-lot bust
ness is the heaviest they have ever
done. There is also investment buy
ing of more pretentious character.

1t seems now as though the regular
fall gold-importing movement might be
begun at an earlier date than usual
Money is beginning to harden, both here
and in London, and 1t is generally be-
Heved that any marked rise in rates on
the other side of the water will be re-
Elected in rates here. British financial
authorities admit that the ease in call
money which has prevailed in London is
chiefly due to the fact that bill brokers
and discount houses, foreseeing higher
rates. have refused to lock up their
money for longtime periods. and have
placed on call for what II would bring
the money usually employed in such
operations.

1t is the opinion of brokers that too
much stress is laid upon the steel in
dustry as a factor in the country's af-

quarters it would be supposed that the
very prosperity of the country depended
upon the steel and iron industry.

tions and inequalities, and these
will some day be corrected according
as changed and changing conditions
shall suggest. But not now. Stabil-
ity, said the President, is the vital
need of all industry and all business,
and the tariff schedules should not be
changed until it shall have become
certain that the advantage to be
thereby gained will outweigh the
damage inflicted upon business by
tariff changes. No such condition
now exists, and the evils that are
complained of would be aggravated
rather than corrected if the reckless
disturbers of business stability were
permitted to precipitate upon the
country a protracted period of tariff
tinkering.
The President has spoken plainly
and wisely. The country will vel
come and approve what he has said.
Tariff tinkering foolishness was max
ing some headway among a class of
Republicans posing as reformers, and
it was full time the President declar-
ed himself. 1t is settled once for all
that the Republican party will stand
by and not apologize for its vital doc
trine of protection to all labor and all
industry.

Greatest of All BUYERS.

For the first time in our history
manufacturers materials have in the
month of February, 1903, constituted
more than half of the total imports.
Twenty-one years ago the proportion
of manufacturers material was 1919
per cent of the total Of imports. In
February the percentage had reached
51.3. In that month our manufacture
ers bought of foreigners $42,000,00O
worth of materials, to be converted
into finished products by American
labor. The total of this class Of i'm
portations for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1908, will be at least $780,
100000, or $35,0OO,000 more than in
1902. This does not indicate the
need of any change in our tariff sys-
TEN looking toward increased pur-
chases from the outside world. We
are already the most liberal buyers Of
foreign commodities of any nation on
earth. Lower tariff duties would re-
suit in our buying much more of fin
ished products in which American
labor would have no part, but they
would undoubtedly diminish the guam
tity which we buy of material used in
manufacture Better leave the tariff
as it is.
