The Republican Governor of Mass
Favors Tariff Revision.

Governor Guild of Massachusetts
was one Of the speakers at ban
quet in New York City last We'd
nesday evening. He argued in ia
vor of tariff revision. He said: A
demand will be made after the next
national election for a special session
OF congress for the revision of the
tariff and in the interest Of common
sense rather than of special inter
ests."
While great many republicans
favor a revision oil the tariff in the
interests Of common sense rather
than of special interests" SO many
republicans favor the special inter-
ests that the republican party will
not be able to revise the tariff, after
the next election in the interests Of
common sense.

When the purchasables Will Parade.


1t is generally understood that
Taft like Roosevelt stands for many
OF the policies for which, Bryan has
stood during all Of the years he has
been in public life. For that reason
predatory wealth is opposed to his
nomination, the same as it has al
ways opposed MIR. Bryan.
Should Mr.. Taft's nomination be-
come forgone conclusion, all the
powers of the criminal rich will be
thrown against Mr.. Bryan. Every
purchasable politician, who calls
himself democrat, will be labored
with, and induced for some consid-
Grafton to oppose Bryan's nomina-
ton. When that time comes there
will be a great parade of the pur-
chasables in opposition to Bryan.

the future grows more rapidly than
current transactions. The best feature
is the broader market for commercial
paper. Loans in mercantile channels
are now negotiated freely Mt LITTLE

postponed Undertakings and making
collections more prompt. Buyers are
coming Into the leading markets III

crease transactions unless prices cam
not be adjusted.
Manufacturers increase production
gradually, conservatism being general.
and many industries are not operating
more than so per cent of their full
