Unsettled, stormy weather has accentuated the
quiet prevailing in general trade and the situation
as whole is rather irregular The first of tho
spring buyers excursions are, however at
tracing merchants TO the leading markets east

dealing, the feeling is still Of optimism Is 70
the future. The New York and Chicago drygoods
markets are reported full OF buyers who are oper
ating conservatively, but in the Southwest store
trade is still rather quiet, and severe weather
affects trade in the Northwest. At the South trade
is slightly active. Reports from several
Southwestern markets are Of trade not squailing
expectations, but Eastern markets doing more
than year ago, and the feeling as to spring prob
abilities is much better there than early in Feb
ruary, 1908. Industry Is similarly affected with
operations a whole still below the normal, Best
reports come from the textile trades, particularly
cotton and wooIlen dress goods lines. Some light
cottcns sold ahead TO October. The metal and
coal trades rather conspicuous for the dulness
of demand and the continuance in the former in

Looking For Best Line

An Ogden dispatch of the eth says:
1t is stated that the Southern Pacific
in its search for 4 short line To Lbs An
geles has virtually abandoned consilera-
ton of HaZen rs Al objective point for
the cutoff. Recent developments have
brought to light the presence of three
large and well appointed corps Of
Southern Pacific surveyors who occupy
the field i'll central Nevada. These
engineers are running line for Il new
outlet of the "Aqucduct line" via
either Wiunemucca, Battle Mountain
or Palisadc. The latter point is not re-
garded with special favor owing To the
broken character of the country.
For the long fruit trains and heavy
passenger traffic the Southern Pacific
demands the virtual elimination of
grades, even though such decision i'll
wolves the building of costly tunnels.
Battle Mountain has the advantage of
a r~ight.of-way to Austin that could he
converted into til. rDl b. # Il mDlcrn
double track trunk line.
Winncmucca, how yer. is said To have
the advantage over the other surveyed
routes. according to the statements of
men who have worked on the survey.
The grades are light and curvature

duce the western htui by the distance

party, and that this support commits
the party. But there is IN equally
ready AMI pertinent rejJindsr to this
plea. The Senators and Representatives
who supported the revision upward
violated the pledges and defeated the
professed aims of the Republican party
in its National Convention. As be-
tween this treachery and the loyalty of
the socalled insurgents to the party
faith, there can be but one complete
arbitrament, that of the party itself.
TIL S is villa: the insurgents proposed
to seek. Senator Cummins IL
There will bc TIC change in my posi-
tion-no recession from the attitude |
among others took during the tariff
debates. The fight will go on. and.
if anything, it probably will be a broad
er and hotter fight in the future. l
have found no reason to change my con-
viction that the present tariff law is
not q genuine revision downward and
that it far from complies with the pro-
misses of the Republican party to reduce
the rates TO n figure that would cover
duction at home and abroad and a
reasonable profit to the manufacturer
Now, Senator Cummins will not
content himself with this simple an
nouncement of difference from the
President. He is preparing to enter on
u sustained campaign of speaking in the
Middle West, in which he will carry
before the people the proofs that have
convinced him that the tariff revision
was dictated by the great interest pro-
tected by the high rates. Nor does this
campaign lack al objective of "A practical
sort. The Tribune reports that on the
day Mr.. Taft spoke in Des Moines to Il
large but chilly crowd the chief topic of
discussion among the Republicans
gathered for the occasion was the pro-
liability that in 1912 Iowa would present
Senator Cummins as Il candidate for the
Presidential nomination, and would ex-
pect the support of the Middle West.
That means that the advocates of real
tariff reform propose to carry their con-
test to the party, that they will not go
over to the Democrats and leave the
field to the standpattcrs, hut will strive
for victory within the party. They
will have II clear issue. Last year the
party declared for a revision according
to plain principles involving substantial
reduction. Has it got ity That is an
issue not of opinion but of fact, and the
facts are not Oh the side of the Prcsi.
