SATISFACTION falls to the Democrats who can
now ro;nt to the fact tbat even Iowa has
haen swung into line afraid to stand by its
convictions. that the tariff is the s'mother Of
trusts. }, and every Republican who favors
a revision Of the existing tariff rates must
vote fine Democratic ticket or stultify him
self. After the adoption Of the platform
Governor Cummins made a speech in
which he reasserted his old-time position
but in so much as he had first yielded his
position and waived his conviction that
prompt lowering of the duties on trust
made goods was imperative, his subsequent
statements will be received for what they
are worth.
President Roosevelt and Postmaster
General Payne have between them man
aged to close most of the avenues by which
news has previously been obtained re-
garding the Postofice Investigation and
comparatively little news of Importance is
now getting into print The most import
ant subject under investigation at present
are the purchase of sheet iron mail boxes
the painting of the same with certain
patent paint, and the General Manifolding
COMPANY which sells to the Government
$500, 200 worth of manifolding paper a
year. one half of which is bought by the
postoffice. Almost no information can be
obtained regarding the first Investigations
aside from the fact that they are presenting
some interesting and probably important
develonments with regard to the latter
II has heen found that the clerk WHO buys
the manifolding naner has a son who is re-
ceiyinp 30 (OO a year from the General
Manifoldino Company. that REPRESENTATIVE
.Iosenh Sihlev is largely interested in the
concern and K is susnected that Speaker-to-
