AS the resolutions of the convention
at Indianapolis demonstrate, for the

duction so that they may better dis
tribute their products in foreign mar
kets. The only opposition comes
from the trusts, for whom the tariff
serves only as an instrument of spoil
alton.

relief In the districts of the city
that have had no water for the last
four nights. All automatic sprink-
