POST CARDS REJECTED.
Those Ornamented. With Ground
Mica and Glass Held UP.

Hundreds of ORNAMENTAL post cards,
containing lettering of ground glass
and mica, are being held up in the
Richmond post-oftice, under an order
from the department. which forbids
their going through the mails
About twenty came in on one coll
lection YESTERDAY. and Postmaster Ca
bell says the office is receiving about
fifty per day.
The German government was the first
to exclude these cards. and II has
now been taken up at Washington.
1t Is held, and can be, easily demon
strated that the mica and glass used
as ornaments on these post cards Is
not only damaging to- other mail mat
ter, but as wen injurious to the hands
of the men who handle the cards.

Gas soon as it dawred on the intel

every free trader in the land was
content and even anxious to play at
the game of the maximum and the
minimum, the thing was jerked out of

No man with an intelligent grasp
of the principle and policy of pro-
lection ever had the slightest hesita-
tion in identifying the little free
trade joker concealed in the maxi
mum and minimum proposition. Pro-
tectionists prefer single tariff. IL
a double tariff is made necessary by
foreign tariff discrimination it
should be minimum and a maxi
mum; stable minimum not subject
to trade dickers, and high maximum
as a penalty for unfair tariff treat
ment by other nations. That Us the

mot Desirable.

Would tariff revision make an in.
creased demand for labor? Would
more mills be started more mines be
opened or more wages be paid
through it's results? Would the re-
vision proposed be expected to add
to the prosperity we are now and have
been enjoying, or to take from it?
These are some OF the very pertinent
and practical questions asked by Sena-
tor Foraker of Ohio, in the course of
an address last week. The senior SEN
ator of Ohio may represent some pur.
poses which the voters of Michigan
would not approve, but his questions
suggests a position in the matter OF
tariff tinkering which Michigan does
approve. That tariff revision such as
would meet the requirements of the
most aggressive advocates of such &C.
tion would be accompanied again with
just such results as have always in
the past accompanied it is reasona-
BILE aHSwer to Senator Foraker's ques.
tions. And that is why it is not now

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
TRADE CONDITIONS.
GENERAL BUSINESS is MAKING
GOOD PROGRESS.
SECURITIES HAVE FALLEN
To the Lowest Point Since 1904 Many
Contemplated Undertakings Await
More Normal Financial Con-
ditions-Business Failures.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
A larger volume of business Is be-
ing transacted than at this time last
year, although conditions in 1906 were
most favorable, and there is now the
handicap Of almost prohibitive rates
for commercial paper. Many con-
templated undertakings await more
normal financial conditions, and Sc
curities have fallen to the lowest point
since 1904, but general business
throughout the country makes fairly
good progress.
Retailers report very brisk move
ment of seasonable merchandise and
jobbers continue to forward suplemen-
tary consignments, but reports of col
lections are irregular.
In agricultural districts the market
ing of the crops at high prices makes
the payments satisfactory, but at
many eastern centeFS there Is COM
plant of delay in settlements.
Seversl strikes are still retarding
progress. but most industrial plants
are well occupied and are assured of
continued activity up to the end of the
year at least.
Consumers anticipate more attrac-
tive terms in the pig iron market and
consequently defer the placing of or
ders, but most furnaces are still sold
up to the end of the year, so that few
concessions are offered. 1t is evident
that there is no fear of over-produc-
ton, as the number of furnaces in
blast increased on October L.
In some divisions of the steel mar
ket there is an increase of volume of
new business, but other plants find
much delay in the placing of contracts,
although considerable tonnage is un-
| der consideration.
Cotton mills continue well occupied
| There is still much idle machinery at
woolen mills, mems wear products be-
| ing the most uncertain section, while
| the status of the worsted manufac-
turer is practically determined.

SOME OF THE REASONS WHY
Various People Are Anxious to Rip
Up the Tariff.

There are various reasons in the
minds of men promoting the disire
for a taking UP of the tariff question.
In the first place every manufac-
turer who favors tariff changes has in
mind the other man, never once think
ing that he will be hit
Secondly, the man who would have
change has in mind lower prices for
the other man, not for himself
Third, the salaried class who feels
that their situations are permanent
This class has always been in favor OF
practical free-trade.
Fourth, the man who has plenty Of
money with which to avail himself Of
the advantages to be offered to him in
the way of low-prlced property In
other words, the man who is prepared
to make money out of disaster well
comes disaster.
Fifth, there is a class of men who
think the wage worker is getting to
be too obstreperous, too hard to han
die, all the time wanting more money.
A suspension of business, caused by
iipplHS, HOuiu, lhCg say DIiHS
the wage worker to his senses by
causing him to seek a job instead OF
having the job seek him, as is the
case at the present time. Men are not
asking for more wages when they are
out of work. Then they are only ask
ing for jobs. Tariff ripping would
throw men out of employment. The
National Manufacturers association
has declared for an immediate revi-
sion of the tariff. That association Ia
anti-union.
Sixth, there are those who are COM
planning that they are weary of the
servant girl tyranny. They want some
thing to break the servant girls back,
figuratively speaking. Closing factor
les and shops by tariff ripping, would
throw girls and women out of en-
ployment and they would be compell-
ed to seek domestic service
Hence tariff ripping some people
think, would solve the servant girl
problem
These are some of the classified
tions and some of the reasons for the
tariff ripping sentiment which prevails
to-day.-Des Moines Capital.
