There Is Increased Activity in
Business All Over the
Country.
TRUSTS DESTROYING UNIoNIsM
(By C. H. Tavenner.)

Washington, Jan. 4.-Business
men all over the country are ex-
pressing complete confidence in the
Democratic House. They are not
being fooled by the old bugaboo
about Democratic success meaning
business depression l am familiar
with how the Democratic leaders
feel about this, and the leaders and
the majority of the party are con-
servative. The tariff will be revis-
ed downward, but 1t will be done
Conservatively, and without disturb
ing business conditions unneces-
sarily. Democrats realize that bus
mess men have rights which must
be protected"
This statement by Congressman
John H. Rothermel, OF Pennsyl-
vania, chairman OF the committee
on Expenditures in the department
of Commerce and Labor, is endors-
ed by all the Democrats in Con-
gress. Mr.. Rothermel's home is in
Reading, Penn, which is In the
heart of the Pennsylvania manu-
featuring section.
Evidence is multiplying that bus
mess men do not fear Democratic
success in 1912, and that, on the
contrary, they will welcome it. This
is due almost wholly, the House
leaders say, to the business-like way
in which the Democrats have hand
led affairs since they we're placed in
control of the lower House of Con-
gress a year ago. The Steel trust,
which would have more reason than
any other trust to be suspicious of
Democratic success. is thriving as
