 Preparations for fall trade are on a fairly liberal scale, testifying to con- fidence and jobbers are receiving mod crate supplementary orders for prompt shipment, while export sales expand Tn response to seasonable weather.
 There is some irregularlty in re- ports from the leading industries. foot wear factories receiving relatively largely orders than textile mills while the iron and steel markets still feel the unsettling effects of recent redue- tions in prices.
 Building operations increase at many points, creating a better demand for lumber and other materials and a de- crease in most comparisons with last years volume.
 Mercantile collections are more prompt, money is abundant despite exports of gold.
 Waiting conditions prevailed in the ron and steel industry, purchasing be- ng limited to immediate needs except n the case of steel bars that have been ordered by makers of agricultural i'm.

 movement.


 provement.
 New York, June 19.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Aside from the continuance of the better tone as regards the future, and some further enlargement of industrial operations, notably in textile lines, there is little new to report as to trade.
 Business as a whole has been quiet. There is general agreement that re- tailers' stocks are not large, but filling in orders continue to be frequent rather than heavy.
 Fall buying has been a trihe more assured at Eastern and Central-West- ern centerS. but conservatism attended a disposition to await crop and politi- cal developments guard against any thing like free buying.
 Collections are backward as a whole. One of the best circumstanced lines seems to be leather. though demand for shoes is active. Lumber is better at the West and yellow pine Is higher.
 Iron and steel demand shows no en- largement to speak of, despite recent cuts in finished lines. Building is leSD active than a year ago and the uneln- ployed in this line are very numerous.

WILLIAM j. BRYAN
ON THE TRUSTS
The Democratic Leaders, Clos
ing Sentiments on Trust
Abuses.

In his Indianapolis speech on
the abuses of the Trusts, William
j. Bryan closed with these potent
sentiments:
The Republican leaders have
been in the habit of sneering at
the Socialists, while blIndly Indif-
fereut To the causes that have
contributed to the growth of So
cialism. The Democrats recognize
that Socialists are honestly seeking
q remedy for the "known abuses
admitted by Secretary Taft.
Democrats dissent from the
remedy proposedlby the Socialists,
believing that Socialists are mis-
taken and that the Democratic
remedy is better, but it is time for
thoughtful people to recognize
that individualism can only be
retained and defended by rem
ediaI legislation which will remove
the abuses which have been allow
ell to fasten themselves upon the
county. The Democratic party,
believing in individualism, adj
dresses itself earnestly to these
abuses, and instead of ridiculing
and maligning the Socialists, in,
vites them, as does the RepublI-
cans, to examine the Democratic
platform and the remedies pro-
posed therein. 1t SUBMITS its
plans to the honest citizenship of
the country, without regard to
section or party.
In my notification speech l call
ed attention to three demands
made by our party. 1t asks, first,
that the governments shall be taken
out of the hands of special inter-
ests. and restored to the people
rs a whole; it asks, second, for
honesty in elections and publicity
IN regard to campaign funds. that
the people may freely choose
representatives in sympathy with
them and pledged to guard their
interests; it asks, third, for such a
modification of our governmental
methods as will make the Senate
an elective body, and place the
control of the House of Represen-
tatives in the hands of q majority
of its members. A few days ago,
In discussing the tariff qnestion. /
dwelt upon the fourth demand
made by our party, namely. that
taxation be just, that the revenue
laws be made for the purpose of
fIising revenue and not for the
enrichment of few at the ex-
pense of the many, and that the
tariff law be supplemented by an
income tax which will more nearly
equalixe the governments bur-
dsns. Today l present another
demand made in our party plat
form-.he demand that the grip
of the trusts be broken. that com-
petition be restored and that the
door Of opportunity 5c opened to
the busint Q, men and the toilers
of the land.
Industrial independence is nec-
esssry to political independence

few men control the Industries in

Good Words for Winfield.

"Tel," the Alexandria Town
Talk correspondent from Melder.
was the guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. j. Orr, last week. In speak
ing of the courtesies extended to
hun by these hospitable people of
Winfield he has these good
words to say of the town:
Winfield is beautifully sit
uated in the mids; of a pretty
pine forest of long leaf pine and
lofty hills and almost any kind of
land known to the State, namely:
river bottom. table land of shall
low sub soil mixed with clay.
hill land. which while thin, pro-
duces well and can be made
richer each year by use of Sci
eptific farming. Winfield has
a population of $500. graded
public schools extending miles
in the country. Five miles away
is the great rock and marble
Quarry, dotted with sparkling
springs like so many diamonds on
n great canopy. Her climate is
all that conld be desired. No
bllzzards blight her roses, nor
torrid rays sither their leaves.
The Rock Island Ry.. the l.. d
A. Ry., the fremont & Gulf Ry.,
the Red River Valley Ry.. make
Winfield the great center for
truck farming aud lumber man
ufaciuring.
"A tap of railroad is now being
graded to the great mrrble quarry
aud will give Winfield conuec-
tion ut this place which will
develop a great source of wealth.
Winfield occupies a position
for health, pleasure and acqui
sition of knowledge possesse,' by
few cities west of the Father If
Waters.

God forbid that we should compel
the wage-earners of the nation to
address their petitions to trust
magnates. and ask for their daily
bread. Already we have seen how
prone the monopolist is to make
employment depend upon the
willingness of the employe to
prostitute his ballot to the service
of his corporate master.
This question should be settled
nOw;we can not afford to bequeath
it as legacy of woe to succeed
ing generation. The conscience
of the people is already awakened.
and the conscience is the most
potent force of which man has
knowledge. Where law makes
one righteous, conscience controls
An hundred; where one is kept
from wrong-doing by fear of prls-

ed by those invisible walls which
conscience reals about us-bar
riers which are stronger than walls
of granite. 1t is upon the con-
science that human Institutions
rest. and without stirring of the
conscience no great reform is pos
sible. To a national conscience
already aroused we appeal. with
the pledge that Democratic
victory will mean the ringing out
of industrial despotism aud the
ringing In new era in which
business will he built upon its
merits, and in which men will
succeed, not in proportion to the
coercion they may be able To
practice, but in proportion to
their industry, their ability and
their fidelity.
