REVIEW OF TRADE
 FOR THE PAST WEEK

NEW YORK, April 2S.-Duns re- view tomorrow will say:
 The best previous records of pro- duction and distribution of earnings and wages are steadily surpassed. Even after great expansion legiti- mate enterprise shows continued aug mentation, though various influ- ences combine to hinder it's growth Consumptive requirements, however, are sustained in unprecedented vol tune and industrial facilities, while constantly improved and increased. are inadequate to handle all the work there Is to be done. A widening dis crepancy between the contracts of fered and those actually closed is noted in about every leading line. Many manufacturers, either through inability or disinclinatiOn to further extend commitments have turned considerable business away That such facts appear, has the affect of pronounced rise in prices, and is one of the most remarkable features of the times. Only in relatively few in stances have the high prices restrict ed new demands of premiums for prompt shipments are by no means uncommon.

in the cause of the liberty of Ire land and of the world
 But anyhow. ii is the opinion of all true Irishmen and surely I need not argue the principle. especially with anybody who has professed him self home ruler, that the policy of Ireland must be decided by Ire land herself That is the principle which has been adopted by the Irish race everywhere
 Millions of our people in the United States and elsewhere whose generous devotion helped US so large ly to win our victories for the moth- CT land of our race, have always accepted it. However, bounteous their help, never have they denied lreland'S right to choose her policy for herself That doctrine has been contested only by the very same men who today have tried to make Ireland a cats paw of Germany. Tn all our long and successful i struggle for home rule we have been thwarted and opposed by that same section. We have won home rule not through them put in spite of them. This wicked move of theirs was their last blow at home rule IL was not half as much treason to the cause of allies as treason to the cause of home rule.
 This blow at home rule is more wicked more insolent by this fact that Germany plotted it. Germany organized; Germany paid for it. So Tar as Germany's share in it is con- cerned. 1t is q German invasion of Ireiand as brutal. as selfish as cvni :. car as Germany's invasion of Belgium. blood has been shed, and if Ireland mas not been reduced to the same horrors of Belgium with her starvine people her massacred priests and I or Dioiated convents,- it is not the fault of Germany.
 Ahd the final aggregation of this movement is this: The misguided insane young men who have taken part Tn this movement in Ireland have risked. and some of them lost II cir lives. ''e'i
 might add that this movement mas been set in motion by the same class of men who have ever nrover treacherous to the cause of ho.s rule. ''"e
 IS It not an additional horror that on the very day when we heard ina. the men of the Dublin FusiIers had oeen Killed by Irishmen in the streets or Dublin. We received news of bou men of the Sixteenth division-o,,, own lrish Brigade and of the sam,

REPUBLICANS ONLY
SHOWING INTEREST
IN PAYING TAXES
DEMOCRATS ARE NOT QUALIFY
ING FOR THE COMING NO
MEMBER ELECTION.
THOUSAND POLLS DELINQUENT
Only Activity At All In The Matter
Of Qualifying Voters Has Been
Shown by the Members of the G. o.
P.-Saturday Last Day of Grace.
THURSDAYS Daily.l

With only two more days Of grace
the democrats of Maury county are
manifesting absolutely no interest in
the payment of poll taxes. The only
poll taxes that are being paid are be-
ing paid by the republicans. Some
thing like dozen poll taxes have been
paid by individuals since the August
election, nearly all of whom are repub'
licans. In addition, one list contain
ing the names of several members OF
that party has been filed with the trus-
too, together with check to cover the
necessary amount for which receipts
will be issued that will qualify the par
ties named to vote in the coming cleo
ton
Democrats are seemingly taking no
interest whatever in the mtater; they
are not paying their poll taxes nor car
ing whether anyone else does so. At
the time of the August election there
were just 1899 poll taxes paid in the
county. The number now paid is but
little over 5000. There are proba-
bly, 1000 voters in the county exempt
from paying poll taxes, but there are
always that number who do not vote.
In August only 5000 voted. There are
approximately three democrats in the
county to one republican, so that for
every republican voter who fails to
pay his poll taxes there would be about
three democrats With the republicans
showing an interest in the matter and
trying to qualify their voters, the pro-
portion of democratic loss would be
larger. t"'-'
In the election of four years ago
Wilson received in round numbers
1900 votes in Maury county. Taft and
Roosevelt together received LOO.
That gave the democrats 1900 MAORI
| ty. Unless they bestir themselves be-
tween now and Saturday night this
majority may be very largely reduced.
Rye adm Wilson may need 1900 ma
jority in Maury county. Democrats
ought not anyway to take any chances.
Teh trustees office will close at 6
O'Clock Saturday night. Receipts Is
sued after that time will not qualify
the holder to vote in November.
