NEW YORK. Nov. 9.--Events Of the
week were generally of favorable
character. So much so that had the
stock exchange been opened there
would doubtless have been reflected
sharp rise in security values.
The monetary situation also shows
steady Improvement and a progress

which In due time will largely IN
crease the supply OF loanable funds.
There Is no longer any approximations
regarding the monetary future. Credit
Is gradually tending to resume normal
conditions, and ere long business will
have completely adjusted itself to war
conditions and will go on much as
usual. The position OF foreign ex-
change is still somewhat abnormal,
though constantly improving. The
supply of bills during the past week
has not been quite so liberal as in the
two previous weeks. Nevertheless our
exports continue on very large scale
owing to the heavy shipments of food
stuffs, cotton. war material, etc. New
exchanges for the time being, and its
financial relations with foreign coun-
tries are being strengthened daily.
England Is no longer pressing for a
settlement OF our obligations for the
reason that funds In that center are
abundant, and the former pressure for
gold exports from this side has ma
terially subsidized. It is estimated that
in October the excess Of exports from
the United States will reach as high
as $6O,O0O,000. compared with only
SIC, 100000 in the month OF Septem-
Der. and an excess Of $20, 1000, 900 In i'm
ports in August. This is a remark
able and exceedingly satisfactory re-
covery of our foreign trade to what
Is normal.
The tendency toward revival in do
nestle business is more pronounced
than at any time since the war. This
of course is mainly due to improve
ment in the credit situation. The de-
mand for our wheat and cotton has
been very important factor. A mum.
Der of our local industries are also
being helped by the foreign demand
for war material, which promises to
increase for some time to come. Per.

Is the more hopeful tone in the steel

Just then came the sound of clos

step in the hall. She ran out to meet
him.
"Oh, DEAR" in a hurried whisper,
there's a woman here now. There's
been two others who were IMPOSSI-

then said briefly:

you want to try it for week, you

of Business Men" The letter was
handed him when he arrived in Rich.
mond at noon yesterday, he said.
Wright denied that saloons or dis
tillers ever paid a dollar of tax or in
ternal revenue and said that what was
credited to them came from the peck
cts of the laboring people of Rich
mond. The Richmond saloon men, he
said, add to the price of what they
sell, the cost of their licenses, their
taxes, their employees wages. the free
lunch and any other items Of expense
in operating their business.
''If this letter is a final summing
up of what your opponents have done
in this campaign, I'm afraid the thing
will explode before Tuesday and there
will be no election" said Mr. Wright
Another Allegation.
How awfully tender and consider
ate the saloon men are of that fellow
who pays taxes and owns property.
But as a matter of fact the saloon men
and liquor interests, broadly speaking,
never pay taxes. The distillers boa st
ternal revenue tax. The truth is, no
distiller ultimately pays fifty cents a
year tax.

have here, it says the saloons in round
numbers pay quarter of million to
the city in taxes and licenses. In
stead of s250,o0O, about $3.50 would
be better and even that is more than
they pay.
ut costs twenty-three cents to make
a gallon of whiskey. The government
comes along and charges q tax of
$1.10. or $33 for thirty-gallon barrel.
The cost of production with one jump
goes from twenty-three cents to S1.33
a gallon. Then it is sold to your liquor
man here. The state and city want
their finger in the pie. So they get
their little tax out Of it.
City Also In 1t.
Then one of your fellows comes
along and asks for a gallon of whis-
key. You pay So for it and never ask
why or raise a whimper. The trouble
with you fellows is plain bald-headed
ignorance. The laboring man pays for
it all. The city, in league with the sa-
loon keeper, reaches out it's bloody,
grasping hand and takes more from
the laboring man.
"A saloon man doa't bring money
into town. He brings foreign made
whiskey. That is paid for by the hon
est manufacturers. your farms and
legitiamte business.
Did you ever stop to think how
much the saloon men of this town are
making according to this statement
they have issued. They are getting
enormously rich off of you. OF course
as soon as they sell the liquor, they
send two-thirds of the money straight
out of your town to pay for it. They

knowing that when they get little
older they will not be wanted even
for that! No wonder they drink.
We're always reading about the old
men and how hard 1t is for them to
get work-surely, dear, it's harder for
the old women"
Yes, it's pretty tough" admitted
Warren.
For the rest of the evening Helen
was haunted with the tragedy of all
the servant girls who grow old in the
drudgery of homework. and who can
only look forward in their old age to
the greater drudgery of the scrub wo-
man. And when they are too old and
too feeble for scrub women-what

HaW~eIi Tells Of Advantages Of ,
Dry Town.

AS a substitute for Tony George,
former sheriff of Grant county, who
was advertised as one of the Marion

man and a manufacturer, gave short
talk presenting the business effect OF
a dry town.
