By Ware x Leland.
 New York, May 17-The market opened strong in sympathy with London prices but aside from purchases for short &C., count, there was no evidence of good buying and the higher prices brought out plenty of stocks and the market soon sold off, It was cratic al, day, alternately strong and weak with the transactions very limited.
 There was much less pressure in the United States Steel stocks and they ruled fairly steady and strong all day.
 The market shows evidence of being oversold and we are inclined to look for a substantial rally. Should prices im- prove we would advise selling as we see no good basis for any substantial upward movement. The Erie stocks were again sold today and the price of the first pre- ferred indicates reduction In the divi- dend.

try, as manifested in its statutes,
makes II necessary that tariff reform
should be prudently and sagaciOusly
undertaken, on scientific principles, to
the end that there should not be an
immediate revolution IN existing con-
ditiOns.
In the words Of our platform We de-
mand "a revision and a gradual reduc-
ton Of the tariff by the friends OF the
masses, and for the common veal, and
not by the friends Of its abuses its
extOrtions and Determinations"
In my response to your committee L
pointed out the method under which
a gradual reduction OF customs duties
may be accomplished without disturb
ing business conditions. I desire again
to express the opinion that this method
should be followed.
1t is true that the Republicans, who
90 not admit in their platform that the
Dingley tariff needs the slightest alTer-
alton, are likely to retain a majority
OF the Federal Senate throughout the
next Presidential term, and could,
therefore, If they chose, block every
attempt at legislative relief. But il
should be remembered that the Re
publican party includes many revision
lists. and I believe Il viii shrink from
defying the popular viii expressed IN
mistakably and peremptOrily at the
ballot box.
The people demand reform OF exist
ing conditions Since the last Demo
cratic administration the cost OF living
has grieTOusiy increased. Those haT-
ing fixed incomes have suffered keenly;
those living on wages, If there has been
any increase, know that such increase
has not kept pace with the advance in
cost Of living. including rent and the
neeessaries OF life. Many today are
out OF work, unable 10 secure any
wages at all To alleviate these eOndi-
tons, in so far as is in cur power,
should be our earnest endeaTOr-
COMMON Law AND THE TRUSTS.
I pointed ont in ny earlier response
the remedy, which in ny Judgment,
