REvELERS KINDLY TOTE THEIR JAG
 ID JAIL
SAVE OFFICERS TROUBLE OF FIX. PEDITION TO REMOTE PART
 OF THE CITY

Antone Juarez and Francisco Corellis engaged in one of the most accommo- dating jags--as far as the officers were oncerned-Tuesday night, that could have been imagined.
 After visiting numerous jag foundries about town and soaking up enough booze to cause them to forget all of their own and most of their friends troubles, they did not proceed to wander off to the lower end of town and compel the officers to lug them about two miles to jail. Nothing like that
 Instead, they took up quarters in front of Judge Pratt's office and pro ceeded to inform the town generally how proud they were of their jag.
 Seeing that Juarez and Corellis had been very kind and accommodating, the officers evinced a desire to he equally corteous and they promptly iugged both offenders.
 Neither prisoner had any good excuse to offer to Judge Pratt yesterday as to why they tried to drink up all tue Dage red in town and they were sent up for ten days each.
 Until their time expires, neither Juarez nor Corellis will have any difii- culty in remaining in close proximity to tho county bastilo.

BUSINESS SITUATION PROMISES STEADY
 IMPROVEMENT
EASY MONEY AND HIGH RAIL ROAD EARNINGS COMBINE TO
 INSTILL CONFIDENCE

BOSTON, June 2.-The recent i'm provement in general trade about holds it's own, notwithstanding the slowness of tariff legislation. Crop reports are being bettered. Ideal weather is fast reducing the average lateness of the season. The high prices for farm products are tending to increase the acreage. It is believed that the yield of spring wheat may make good the deficiency in the winter crop.
 Railroad earnings are showing up well, and when conditions favor gen eral return to normal industrial ac- tivity, railroad earnings should exceed any figures of the past.
 Money continues easy, despite the continued outflow of the yellow metal. There seems to be little fear as to the position of money from any direction Money is abundant the world over, and it would require very little advance in rates here to attract foreign capi tal in fact, foreign money is already

 The security market remains quite uninteresting from speculative point of view. The investor is seemingly not disturbed, for the reason that he be- lieves that every day is increasing the corporate earning power. For the pres ent, however, little more than trad CTS market is expected. The course of prices will probably be largely in fuenced by Washington advices. It is certain that the market is a stubborn one. Efforts to mark down prices are not very successful, that is, they fail to force liquidation and merely enlarge the short interest. A Boston fnancier, asked as to who was buying stocks, said: FThe western farmers are buy ing railroad stocks, and they are not carrying them in brokers oflices.'
 The continued improvement in the iron and steel trade, as shown by the active independent steel companies in advancing wages 10 per cent. from June l had a stimulating effect on spec ulative sentiment.

GRAIN MARKETS

CHICAGO, June 2.-A new high mark for July delivery was established in wheat today when prices touched l2O 3-S per bushel, which is a gain of 7.S compared with the previous high point. The market closed firm at net gains of l-2 to 5-S and 3-4 to 7-Sc. Extreme bullishness prevailed in the wheat pit during the early part of the day, but in the final half of the session much of the buoyancy was lost, al though prices at the close were from I-2 to cent above the low figures.
 As the result of profit taking, the July delivery sold off from l2O 3-S to l19 IS to ll9 1-4, and the more distant futures declined about l cent from tho high point The market rallied again, however, on buying by shorts and closed firm with July at 1l9 3-4.

Million Feet ot Lumber to
 toSupply One Month Needs
(By Wilson & c

To supply the great demand for lum- Der which the erection of new build. ings and the development of local mines has set up, million feet of this com modity has either been received here by one local company within the past month, or is now on the way to this city.
 While nothing in the nature of a lumber famine is on, the demand is unusually large, at the present time, and were it not for the fact that the many thousand feet of framing and finishing material for the new business blocks either under construction or i'm mediate contemplation, will be used during period of several months, there would probably be considerable difficulty in supplying the demand.
 Not only is the boom in business buildings without precedent in the an nals of the city, but new residences are dotting the city in all sections. This work is readily apparent to the casual observer, and the sales of lum- Der for the construct tion of residences show conelusively the amount of money being expended in the home sections of Globe.
 Extensive development work in the mines is also calling for large quan- tity of rough lumber. There has been a constant increase in the sales of this class of material for the past several months and the indications are that the demand will continue to grow, as mine development work increases.

At the instance of lthe Pioneer Meat company, with which he was employed up to few days ago, warrants were issued yesterday for the arrest of Roy Cone, charging him with embezzlcment.

 According to the information given Judge Thomas by members of the com pany, Cone was employed as col lector for some time, having charge of many of the outside collections.

 A number of business buildings, the plans or locations of which have not been made public as yet, are being fig ured on and there will, to all appear anees, be a heavy demand for building material for several months to come.

A BILL OF JOKERS
is Denounced as Fraud from Rep;n-
ming to End

The New Orleans States saws. As
the consideration of the Payne Tariff
bill proceeds the fact becomes more ap-
parent that it is bill Of "jokers." The
NV York Financial Chronicle =, rc-
eoehized authority in the business
world. asserts that careful cxamino-
ton OF the measure has caused shock
To dry goods interests generally hccans,
OF the radical changes that have been
made III the textile schedules. Among
other things the bill changes the meth
% OF counting cotton cloth for tariff
purposes which will materially increase
the duty on such goods.
At first II was generally understood
that the silk schedule had not hfscn al
tered. but many important changes
have been discovered. while the extent,
OF the proposed duties on hosiery was
distinct surprise. Moreover, the new
provisions covering yarns. linens and
woods are giving much concern to those
interests. Similar reports are coming
from nearly all lines of business. and
the country has reached the conclusion
that no tariff bill ever drawn was so
full of 'Jokers' as is the Payne bill
So far as affordlng relief to consumers
Is concerned, the measure is denounced
as fraud from beginning to end. The
bill merely tells the same old story Of
tariff graft but in different and mislead-
ing language

THE PAYNE TARIFF BILL.

THE PAYNE TARIFF BILL.
As is generally known, the purpose
OF the Payne Tariff Bill is to provide
revenue for the maintenance Of the
government. SO have been the Mckin-
ley, the Dingley and all bills and similar
cnactments. The states and municipal
tiles obtain revenue through the taxa
tioA Of real and personal property and
the government by the imposition OF a
tax on imports
Uader the theory Of the Republican
party. the so-called protection of Amer
lean industries is delusive 1t is the
so-called protection of the Republicans
which has made possible the trusts and
the combines which have swept from
existence individual efforts and enter
prises.
The Republican theory is the oppo-
site of the Democrats.
For the Payne bill it is claimed that
it provides revision downward. This
is refreshing, but not encouraging. The
good intentions in the Payne bill may
share the fate of the Wilson bill which
was unrecognizable by its authors and
its friends after it had passed through
the Senate
The tariff system of today as en-
acted by the Republicans benefits the
few to the dctriment Of the masses.
The necessities of life are taxed, while
the Iuxuries, with rare exceptions, arc
exempted.
Il was General Hancock who when
an aspirant for the Presidency of the
United States declared that the tariff
is local question. In sense it is
true, but the government in the exercise
Of ity functions and its authority is gen
eral and not local.
The theory of the Democrats is
tariff for revenue only. Equal rights
for Ill and special privileges to none is
1 principle which if exercised and MAIN
tained would lead in short time to the
disintegration Of the trusts and the COM
iines whose very existence is depend
ent On the protective theory OF the Re-
puhltcans.
Il may be urged strenuously that If
] he Tariff system prevailed, as advocat-
ed - the Democrats, that some local
interests would suffer. Let this be con-
ceded, but after all. who are the bene-
6c;aries of the so-called protection?
Certainly not the consumer, who must
tay the exactions of the protected IN
/ du6eries.
From the Caucasian's view and I'M
derstanding Of the tariff issue which in
4. anolication to the United States is
general and not local, the duty OF every
Deaocrat in Congress is plain and IS
Iouelined BY the principles and the de-
/. sisrations of bis party.
n the end what will it proff the
Democrats who are aligned with the
Reouhaicans, in legislation which will
continue to perpetuatc the power OF the
trusts and combines; the aggregat'ons
wh;ch fatten from, the necessities OF the
people!
) n there not more to be gained by an
inte1l;rent and energetic resistance than
oonolacent yielding to the Republ'-
cans?
L may we'll be said in this contention

,..ho !. not with us is against lis. he

rating with the enemy.
