The Democrats are making

The Democrats are making a most creditable record in. the pres cit special session of congress. Oscar Underwood of Birmingham. Ala, the chairman of the ways and means committee of the house of representatives, which committee as is well known, prepares all tariff measures. is showing himself to be a statesman of great ability in shaping tariff legislation along Democratic lines. MT. Underwood is an earnest tariff reformer, but does not believe in going so far with the tariff agitations as to seriously disturb the business in terests of the country, by too radi- cal change.

PARCEL POST.

The Democrats are making sub stantiai progress towards the in ytroduction of parcel post delivery As soon as a serious effort IS made in congress to establish a parcel post department of the post office, the great express companies come forward with the small country merchant as bugaboo who claims that his business will be practically ruined if the parcel post is estab- Iished. We'll, it is true a great many farmers would buy some ot their merchandise at larger indus trial centers than from. the small cauntry merchant, but it is never theless true that the country mer- chant would be benefited instead of being injured thereby, for the reason that the parcel post by whicT the poStothce could Carry merchandise at low rates up to l pounds, would greatly promote the prosperity of the entire country. The country merchant as we'll as any other class of men would get their share. When the rural free delivery was introduced the same charge was made that the country merchant would suffer disaster. The country merchant is enjoying greater prosperity, especially in the last fifteen years, than ever before.
