While only two battleships are authorized in the naval bill, the total amount called for by the bill is approximately $1Oo,000,0 900. The army bill carries. as it passed the senate, about $9S,000,000 and the Notifications bill about s15, 100000. These added together will bring the cost of the military establishment up to about $213, 3,000,000 for this year and if to this be added the total cost of pensions, the aggregate will reach more than $363,000,000. In view of Representative Tawney's pre- diction that there will be S150,000,- 900 deficit next year, and of the further fact that it is purposed to put through a s2O,OOO.OOO public building bill. the democrats con- tend that their republican brethren will have plenty to answer for at the polls in November.

BUSINESS MEN CONSIDERING.
Association in New Haven Wishes
 State Collection Department.

The most important matter before the New Haven Business Mems assO- citation at it's April meeting Tuesday night was a plan whereby various business associations in the state may combine their various collection agen- cies and establish more so as to form state collection department. The plan was brought I'D for the first time at the recent meeting of the board of directors of the State Business Mems association. There are five focal asso- sociation which have their collection agencies. These are the associations in New Haven. Hartford, New Lon don. Danbury and Bridgeport.
 The New Haven association decided to approve the suggestion of state collection agency.

When man like Mayor Edward
 Hooker of Hartford can and does
 spend about $4,000 to secure his
 election what chance is there for
 d man like Ignatius Sullivan to de-
 feat him, or to only get look in,
 It Is such unnecessary and We ought
 to be able to say illegal scattering
 of money right and left that, is <
 breeder of socialism and all the
 other issues. What chance has the
 poor man to get an office, however we'll fitted he may be for the place, when his opponent furnishes autos, hacks, cigars and it is presumed. bills for all who want these things and do not care who gets them so long as they get theirs. Speaking
 on Rockers expenses and corrup- tions at elections law the Hartford Times says that many of the eX-
 penditures by MT Rockers politi~ cal agent were such as it was sought to prohibit when the attempt to put elections on an absolutely fair and honest basis was made. The neces- sary legislation was refused by the
 general assembly, and undoubtedly refused because of a belief that it
 would hurt the chances of repub- lican candidates if adopted. If the other course had been adopted it is safe to say the total admitted eX- pense of the republicans in the re- cent city election would have been | much less than the $6,Sl9.21 at
 which it is reported. It is impossi- ble to believe that an outlay like
 this by one party in an election at
 which less than 15,000 votes were boiled is desirable or proper. If a
 legal one such experience is enough to show that the law should be
 changed.

Because of business depression
 there has been marked decline in imports, thus permitting contin- ned heavy excess of exports, says Banker Clews. This, of course, is discouraging to gold shipments: yet it is always best for all concerned that gold should freely go where it is most needed, and as we are in a position to give freely of our large reserve, shipments of few millions of gold 10 the continent would probably prove indirectly beneficial through lessening the glut of idle funds at this center and relieving the strain upon the other side. In March our merchandise exports amounted 10 over ,O00. compared with s161,000,0O0 a year ago This was d decrease of about s20,000,000. Our importations dur ing the same period were sS9.OO0.- 00O, compared with s133. .0OOOO0 a year ago, shrinkage of s44,OOO.- 00o. This left an excess of ex- port for the month amounting 10 over 2,O00.00O, as against s2S.- 5oo.00O in March. 1907. In this connection it is interesting 10 note that during the nine months ending March our exports of merchandise increased s47. 100000. while our importations declined 135.OO0.O0O

Letter to A. c. Sweet,
Bennington vt

Dear Sir: Two men on opposite
sides of the same street sell sausages,
one at 10c ID, the other at 5. Which
sells tie more sausages, think you?
The answer is: 1t depends on the
street. There are plenty of streets in
the world where &c sausages go like
the wind.
Devoe is an honest paint; there are
eight honest paints, 200 adulterated
and short measure; Devoe is the best
of the eight. Devoe has more
strength than the other seven. The
painter adds generally quart of oil
to Deyoe; he still has stronger paint
than any other one OF the seven.
The seven are sold at one price,
l$l.75 a gallon; common price of sec
ond-rate paint is $3.50. 1t takes
gallons Devoe to paint small house,
and IL of average paint; s gallons
cost less than IL; thep rice is more
than Offset by less gallons.
1t costs 81 to 81 day to get paint
on; day is a gallon; So to$16 more
to paint the more-gallons paint; IS
to SIC less for painting the less gal
Ions paint.
The difference In first cost OF the
two jobs is $14 to S22 and which
wears best do you think? It's the
less gallons paint because OF its
strength.
There are plenty Of people to buy
those SC sausages.
Yours truly.
