Any fool can lay all the respon-
sibility for the ills of our political
economy upon the protective tar
id system, but that does not license
men who are not in tha: class to
put themselves there tor the pur-
pose of getting up an argument on
the question.

The meat packers in convention
assembled the other day at Chicago
handed it out that they could not
see any material lowering of meat
prices in the future. Of course
not. 1t is not due to the new Re.
publican tariff that the price of
meat is going to stay mp, nor that
the stock raiser is going to get any
exorbitant prices fol beef on the
hoof. The information handed out
by the packers means that there
will be no reduction of profits on
their side. They need the money
for four. million dollar palaces and
such urgent necessities. Mean
while the man who eats the meat
in order to keep up his vitality and
productive energy at . pitch de-
manded by his employer will con-
tinue to live in quarters costing
about four dollars u months. There
are a lot of people waking up to
the fact these days that there is big
room for improvement in the dis
tribution of the profits, and that
while we do not all demand four
million dollar palaces, such as Mr..
Armour. who. is at the head OF
the beef trust, finds necessary to
his comfort and happiness, a lot OF
people are entitled to better quar-.
ters than the present distribution
enables them to procure.

Many counties are thoroughly
'disgusted with the county road
engineer law. 1t seems now fully
demonstrated that the chief fnnc-
ton of this official has been to
draw his salary regularly and that
little compensating return in the
way of better roads has resulted
from this expenditure. In some
counties it is claimed that the only
road the engineer ever views is the
one leading from his home TO the
county seat on the occasion when
he goes to draw his salary. The
county engineer law seems a farce
under practical demonstration.

The coming of Halley's comet,
which has been making its appear
ance regularly every seventy or
eighty years for several centuries,
and which. is now on the road
here again, due to show up next
month, is giving sensationalists an
other opportunity TO predict that
it means the end of the earth by
the two humping together full tilt.
But don't get reckless and spend
all your money under the impress
sion that it will mean nothing
more TO you after few short
months. The old earth has been
whalloping around in the universe
for countless ages without coming
to grief, and there is no reason to
fear that it will not have clear
track for as many ages to come.
Comets so far have never bothered
the earth any more than to throw
a few foolish and superstitlous
people into conniptiou fit while
they were in view. They pass
away, men die and others come,
but old mother earth rolls calmly
on in her appointed course. heed
less of comets or the fears of man
kind. So take things easy, your
time will not come any sooner be-
cause of Halley's or anybody else's
comet.

played considerable strength despite

MARKET MOVEMENTS
OF THE DAY
TRANSACTIONS IN SECURITIES
RECORDED ON THE NEW
YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

New York, April 21.-Extreme con-
fusion of the speculative temper was
caused by the action of the stock
market during the earlier part of to-
day, and the result was Il declining
tendency in the dealings and the
adoption of a waiting attitude to see
what the mysterious movement might
portend. Suspicion of manipulatiVe
purposes in some of the most obvious
movements increased the feeling of
doubt and uncertainty. Alternating
declines and advances kept the mar
ket in such a WaVering state as is
rarely witnessed. Some of the early
selling of stocks was reported as com
ing openly from sources credited with
leading the advancing movement. The
suspicious trading element saw in this
selling a bull device to take the mar
ket away from the bears and to force
the latter to sell short at lower fig
ures.
The bears, instead of taking cour-
age from this appearance of liquida-
ton of long stocks, therefore took
alarm and brought to cover their short
contracts. AT the periods when prices
were advancing there was an equally
suspicious scrutiny of the selling and
signs that long stock was coming out
would be followed by quick reactions.
Announcement of plans for summer
trip abroad by +. H. Hartman and
modified restrictions on the Erie bond
issue by the New York public service
commission We're unexpected develop
ments. The rumors regarding Mr..
Harriman's helath caused some selling
of shares in the companies with which
he is most closely associated. The eff
feet on Union Pacific was pronounced
and the weakness of New York Cen
trail also was traceable to the large
expectations that have been formed of
the effects to be looked for from Mr..
Hartman future activities in the
management of that railroad.
A special source of speculative con-
firmation was the erratc fluctuations
in Reading. There was considerable
comment on the taking of gold here
for shipment to Holland a very UNI
usual proceeding. 1t was inferred
from this gold movement that Dutc'
investors in American securities at
tracted by the high level of prices
here, had been sending home their
holdings to market. The incident
made decided impression on specu-
lative sentiment because of the sub
stantial character attributed to the
Dutch financial insight. Weather con-
ditions here were more favorable to
grain crop prospects and anxiety was
less acuteo yer the fate of the winter
wheat crop.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, $7,7112,000.
