CONFIDENCE is
STRENGTHENED
Past Week Has Been Encouraging
in Trade, Manufacturing
aud Agriculture.

New York, June 25.-R. G. Dun in
his Weekly Review of Trade today
says: Aside from the strike of gar
ment workers, developments of the
past week have tended to strengthen
confidence. One political convention
has ended, and although its action was
almost a fOregone conclusion, the in
dustrial atmosphere is slightly clearer.
The fiscal year is drawing to a close
with the national finance in n sound
condition, the small shrinkage in fed
eral customs receipts being no cause
for uneasiness.
The most important trade influence
just now is in the progress of crops,
and the past week has brought no
setback. SeasOnable weather has
stimulated the distribution of mer-
chandise, retail business improving
very noticeably at many cities al
though it is not customary to find
sales increasing at this time.
Railway earnings thus far for June
are surprisingly satisfactory, an in
crease over last year of AZ per cent
being reported.

The tariff question is a bust
ness proposition that concerns
every man, woman and child,
for it taxes the average home
T10 a year, or more than one
tenth of the average famiIy's
total income. There is an av-
erage OF one and one eighth
tenths earners in the average
home. These contribute thirty
days labor each, or fifty.four
days labor year to the tariff
tax collectors. If this $110
went as honest taxes to our
government to meet necessary
expenditures. no fault would be
found, though the tax would be
considered extremely high. But
only very small part of this
S110 can be clasSed as legiti
mate taxes. BY far the greater
part goes to million and billion
dollar tariff trusts and monopo-
lies. which thrive now as never
before in this country, These
greedy trusts levy a tribute OF
S94 a year upon the average
home, while the government
collects an average of about $15
a year in tariff taxes; the COL
lection last year amounted to
So, 40 per capita, or $40 80 per
family of A persons. Do the
heade of these 100000 Gami-
lies, the voters, knowingly and
willingly donate 1914 a year TO
the hundreds of trusts? Do they
love these trusts more than
they love their wives and chill
dren? If not, why should they
