man of the joint committee represent

revision of the tariff which amounts 10
an indictment of the stand-pat leaders
of congress. Mr.. Miles, by his com

manufacturers association i'm the Unit
ed States. with the exception of the iron
and steel interests, so he speaks with
authority.
All the manufacturers ask is a disin-
terested commission of experts who
shall investigate the tariff question
scientifically. ascertain the difference in
cost Of manufacture in this country and
abroad for all articles on which a duty
is levied, and make this difference the
basis Of a new schedule of duties. 1t
will be noted that the principle of the
movement is essentially protective.
that is, the manufacturers adopt the
Republican theory of tariff, but ask
that it be applied scientifically. eIimf

undertaking of the Young Women-s

Lake. 1t has not only established head
quarters for young women who work
and wish a home where they can be
independent, it has restaurant where
they get good food and service at a
minimum cost, but it has now estab-
hshed a new branch designed to assist
and care for travellers, particularly wo-
men who are strangers In the city and

their bearings, or for women who need
medical attention and care temporarily
Near the Short Line station and the
Bamberger station they have opened a
rest room. in charge of a competent di-
rector. who looks after all cases which
come to her attention. The rent of the
room is paid by the five newspapers Of
the city, and is one of the best invest

the establishment has already been
proved in the short period of its opera

POLITICS WHOLLY IGNORED
Business World Takes Small Inter

In This Respect 1905 VIII Have Dif-

Campaign Years.

Those who have been predicting that
business would not improve until after
the election, or at least until after the
nominations next month, are having a
hard time TO show that their predictions
are correct. The fact is. the business
world Is not paying the least attention
to politics. Wall street has shown less
interest In who will be nominated for the
Presidency than It has for weather re-
ports and ravages Of the green bug.
The situation is curious for two rea-
sons-one, that no Presidential canvass
has ever passed without some disturb
ance of the markets. usually rather Sc
rious; the other, that the opposition party
has carried the election in every Presi-

In 1884. markets, just emerging from
panic, were continuously depressed. There
possibly because both candidates were
conservative. but there was marked hes

and the extreme disorder during the con-
tests OF 1886 and 1900 will not have been
forgotten. The setback in 1904 was prob
ably the slightest on the list. for which
there are various explanations political
and financial-amOng them. the fact that

heavy liquidation, in both finance and in

We may yet have our Presidential
