able to handle the bundles. OF course
we should have had a freight elevator,

Well, sir, he took to it like children
to candy. Maybe he didn't shame the

In less than no time he had the paper

we see no relief from the selling
pressure except there is no heavy
liquidation any more. The market is
now being forced by bears. They are
in a good position to bring about a de-
cline of considerable extent aided by

constant attacks against corporate in

ton Of yesterday. prices were weak
and are still SO, on the impression OF
the speeches to be made by Secretary
Taft next Monday at Columbus, o. and
the speech Of President Roosevelt at
Provineetown next Tuesday. They will
reiterate unquestionably the Views
taken for some time past as to the
policy OF regulating the trusts and
corporate interests and the tone of
those messages Will probably be such
as not 70 inspire any great confidence
in the financial world. Short cover
ing Will probably put prices up again
and some support which may be given,
viii help to establish somewhat better
values, but for the time being the
market remains unsettled. and we
would only advise such purchases as
are for investment, or people who can
AFFORD to put up good margins can
protect themselves by stop orders.
Banking interests are extending only
such support as would only prevent
actual decentralization. The bank state
ment outlook is rather good. moder-
ate increase in surplus is likely to be
shown together with a rather substan-
tial reduction in the loan account.
Money conditions, however, are very
stringent, and fears on this account are
entertained. for several large industrial
concerns are finding it hard to raise
sufficient capital to carry on their
legitimate business. From time to
time such shocks as the Hart
ford failure occasioned, may be ex-
pected in the market. We see sharp
breaks and then for turns. We would
not be surprised in a comparatively
short time to see prices selling at new
low levels and this applies particularly
TO the industrial section of the list,
which stocks we would advise both
spectators and investors to leave
alone for the time being.

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.

While some of the minor features of
the primary compromise proposed by
the senate yesterday would be benefi-
ciaI, they would not pay for the ex-
pense of the primary, and the house
was more than justified in emphati-
cally refusing to accept the compro-
mise. 1t would defeat what the peo-
pie are asking for, and at the same
time it would saddle on the public all
the expense of a real direct primary,
while it would leave the politicians
and corporations in control of state
politics just as fully as at present.
The chief benefits of the proposed
compromise would be that all county
primaries all over the state would be
held on the same day, and those of all
political parties would be held stimuli
taneously-and these would be about
the only benefits To accomplish that
there would be saddled on to the pub
lie all the expense of a direct primary
for all officers, added to which would
be the expense-to somebody-of state
and congressional conventions. The
cost of a Republican state convention
alone is from $4,000 to $4,000.
And the people would get nothing
out of it more than they now have.
What they are demanding is a chance
to nominate state officers especially by
direct primary They already have the
right. under present laws, to hold
county primaries, and many counties
already nominate that way, the ex-
pense being borne by those most in
terested. But the demand is not for
direct county nominat tons SO much as
it is for direct state nominations.
In other words. the machine poll
ticians are trying to fool the people
by passing a so-called primary law
which really gives the people nothing
more than they now have, but which
saddles on to the public all of the
expense of a direct state primary, and
at the same time leaves the politicians
in control.
Either the Fitzpatrick bill or the
compromise measure would have been
worse than the present statutes. AS
Senator Smith has pointed out, 1t
would retain the evils of both the con-
vention and the primary combined
with the expense of both.
What the people are asking is
chance to nominate all candidates by
direct primary. and two years hence
they will doubtless elect a legislature
that will give them that power.
