The Aldrich-Payne tariff bill is yet
under discussion. The conference
report which passed the house on
Saturday by vote of 1875 to 1873, has
been found full of .''jokers" and there
fore held up by the Western republi-
cans and democrats. 1t is found that
the lumber and tobacco schedules
carry jokers and the public therefore
gets no protection. The leather
joker makes the reduction in that
commodity yalueless,, but, says
writer, the most glaring joker to the
bill is the paragraph which purports
to authorize the appointment of a
tariff commission. Senator Aldrich
assured the business organizations of
the United States that the language
empowered the president to appoint a
tariff commission if he desired to do
SO and, knowing President Tafts
mind, the business men accepted
Senator Aldrich's assurance.
When the conference report came
in it was found the experts" whose
appointment is authorized under the
bill, have no authority to report to
congress. They are mere agents to
collect information for the president
and the executive departments and
there is already authority in the ex-
listing law to appoint any number of
such agents and pay them from special
funds.
Tie interests are making an under
handed fight all round resorting to all
kinds of dishonorable methods to
defeat any attempt to lower the tariff
:, on their goods. On this account it is
possible that the present bill may not
pass.

wastes more than it acquires, must

therefore, expect much "advance in- formation as to the character of these impending judicial decisions.

 The decision of the appellate division of the supreme court upholding the le- gality of sales on the New York curb for the account of customers who have failed to respond to margin calls is of much importance to brokers and to the public which buys and sells securities there. It is of still moro importance to the curb, as it gives a dignity to that market which the big exchange has nev- CT accorded it openly. Judge Guy, who wrote the decision, in which all the judges concur, seems to incline to the opinion that this market has more of genuine public character than that afforded by the institutions where trad ing is limited to persons who hold mem bership therein, for tn ereason that any one may offer for sale or buy stocks in the outside market as freely as the brokers who trade there habtually
