There is a gradual quieting down of
times as indicated by business. Lo-
cally, of course, this is mainly due to
the busy season with farmers. Ma.
tionally it is due to the change of ad-
ministration and to the uncertainty as
to what blunders the new administra-
tion will make. Naturally it takes
some time for a new national admins
tration to get to work effectively, and
a still longer time to note the effects
of its work. Just what the effect of
the proposed tariff revision will be,
can only be determined by the re-
suits following such revision. Pres
ent argument has nothing to do with
it. Past lessons even may not ap-
ply under changed conditions. One
thing seems certain; the tariff is to
be revised and tinkered with to fin.
ish. If the results prove satisfactory
the people will rejoice-if unsatis
factory they will show their disapprov-
al as heretofore

in all parts of the city was good, too,

however, and Mr.. Clack is eligible for
