The Chief Objection

To the "mercerized cotton" cheat is not so
r,nch the "mercerized cotton" as the cheat.
The belief in the superiority of alI.woOI
cIothng fabrics is universal and we'll estab-
rsned it is based on facts, not theory; and
m many years of actual wearing test;
there's no question about it, in nybody's
mind
No wellinformed person chooses mercer
ized cotton mixture; he buys it for what it
looks; he thinks it is good,
The cheat Is that it isn't good; not even as
GOOD as it looks.
Buy reliable cIO' hes; our laDeI is an assur-
ance of it; a small thing to look for, a big
thing to find. -

The Manifesto.

silC motICSLNs
The manifesto says in part:
You all remember, citizens, the
czar's promise of Feb. 18. After stub
bornly refusing for years to listen to
the appeals for a change in political
conditions, then declared his intention
to call upon men trusted by people.
THE moment is approaching for the
fulf1llment of that promise for this
new favor bestowed by the car upon
the people. 1t will be glorified In
various terms by the hirelings whose
duty is to deceive the people. The
ministers have deliberated over Min
lister Buligin's projects, and soon this
plan of a state council sanctioned by
the czar's signature will become a
law. And this new Jaw will be moth
ing more or less than a deadly insult
to the people.
Year after year have the work
ingmen of all nationalities which in
habit the Russian empire struggled
against the hated autocracy. Year
after year have they demanded free
dom, demanded that the people should
control the state; wOrkingmen blood
has flowed in torrents for this end ;
and now when the cars government
has at last felt compelled to call to-
gether representatives of tne nation
it has denied the working class any
right to choose their own spokesmen.
In a word, this Gosudarstvenaia
Douma will be "a misrepresentation
body. Such assembly will allow all
the prevailing atrocities to continue.
Only representative assembly
chosen by universal, equal, direct and
secret suffrage will be able to reach
those wrongs and bring in a new or
der. That is why millions of the
toiling masses have been excluded
from the franchise in order that real
liberty may not be inaugurated.
A Solid Protest.
First of all, you should reply all
over the land with a general and
solid protest against the denial of the
peoples rights. Answer the czar With
a general strike.
Let not a chimney smoke, let not
a factory run. let not store be kept
open, let not an office conduct it's
business While the elections proceed.
Cabs, trolleys, railroads, steamers
let them all stand still
Drop your work. Do not make any
special demand of your employers.
Tell them that this time you are on
strike against the czar's government"

TREATY OF PEACE

1T WILL BE SIGNED IN PRIVATE

Respective Countries.

Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 4.-From
an official source the Associated Press
is informed that the treaty. is complet
ed. 1t consists of a preamble and /
articles, the substance of all of whic
have been given in the Associated
Press dispatches.
But there were still differences about
the wording of the protocol of the last
sitting, which must be signed before
the treaty iseIf can be signed The
Japanese presented a protocol to
which the Russians took exceptions.
The differences, however, are expect
ed to be Strengthened before noon to-
morrow, and it seems possible that the
treaty will be signed tomorrow Mr.
De Martens, who is anxious to get
back to Russia, has engaged passage
on La Lorraine sailing from New
York Thursday and leaves here on
Wednesday.
Will End in Bad Weather.
After being treated to every variety
of weather, the peace conference prom
ises to end in the midst of a raging
northeaster Since last night it has
been blowing gale, accompanied by
torrents of rain. According to local
traditions, such northeasters continue
for three days, SO that it will proba-
bly, last over the day on which the
treaty is signed.
The plenipotentiaries and attaches
of the two missions seem to be fully

down on the final act of the drama as

ing the caligraphic work of the French
and Mr.. Adashi of the English text
Will Be Signed in Private.
The signing of the treaty is to be
very exclusive affair. The Japanese
objected to the presence of any news
paper correspondents or photographers
and it has, therefore, been decided that
besides the plenipotentiaries and sec,
retaries there shall be present only
Assistant Secretary Pierce, represent
ing the president; Governor McLane,
of New Hampshire; tne mayor of the
city of Portsmouth, Admiral Mead, the
commander of the navy yard, and the
commanders of any United tSates war
ship in the harbor-in this case only

Mr.. Pierce has procured four ordi-
nary quill pens with one of which each
of the plenipotentiaries will sign.

Room traders professed great alarm when 1t was reported that this countrys prospect that a tree never quite grows to heaven" and that he expressed the opinion that stock mar ket speculation starting from the pres ent high level of prices, in the face of the extraordinary demand for capital and money, might easily result in tenn porary disaster.
 With the decline once in force, the market proved increasingly vulnerable, and gave way with more appearance of weakness than at any time during the recent money furry. The money mar ket itself stiffened up in the afternoon after the easier tone of the morning, and may have been influenced by the preparations beginning for the payments of the Japanese loan subscriptions. The feeling abroad over the money outlook was distinctly more cheerful. and de- cline in the discount rate in London was taken as a promise of the probable re- tention of the Bank of England rate to- morrow Continental exchanges contin- ued to move in favor of London in spite of a further advance in discounts at Paris and Berlin London was buyer of stocks here on a large scale in con sequence and added to the early strength in no small degree.

SENTIMENT SHOWS
 SMART REVERSAL Offerings Game Upon Market
 from All. Directions PRICES TURN D0WNWARDS. The Most Potent Influence on Stocks Was Address Made By Leading
 Banker Before Association
 Meeting in Washington.
PRICES TURN D0WNWARDS

New York, October Hone of the seemingly abrupt reversals of sentiment which puzzle the observer of Wall street occurred in the stock market today. From an appearance of strength and confident buying the market suddenly turned weak and flood of offerings came upon it from all directions, car rying prices rapidly downwards. The abruptness of the transition from ex- treme confidence to something like fright was more apparent than real owing to the fact of the artificial char acter which has been taken on by the speculation of late, due to the large pre- dominance of professional operations.
 The necessities in the money market have restricted the active speculation, and with period of dullness to be faced large interests in stocks determined to hold prices and await the return of ease in money for a renewal of the campaign to lift prices to higher level. Specula- tive markets, however, will not remain stationary and if an advancing tendency halts, there is almost inevitably a dis position to react Spectators who are holding stocks on margin get impatient at the non-appearance of profits, and are inclined to sell out even if no pres sure is placed upon them in the way of restriction of credits. and of decline in prices, which threaten losses Credits in use for stock market commitments have not been free from pressure, and occa- sional declines of late have threatened losses as we'll
 The result has been the growth of doubtful sentiment in the speculation which made the market vulnerable to any sudden influence. The influence which was accorded largest importance during the days sudden selling was
