The Herald had been attacking
the Republicans for permitting

obviously. was that il vas there
by confusing the party ana pre-
pairing the way for Democratic
victory.
This picture, incidentally, drew
a whole page 10 itself. II was
printed on Nov. I, 1874 and
found such favor With the Eepup-
licans that the elephant speedily
became the party emblem.
Mast, as il happens, was also
the man who gave Tammany Hall
its tiger. Boss" Tweed, the no
torious Tanlmany leader, had once
belonged to fife company called
the Big Sin" This company had
tigers head as its emblem,
When Mast sought a figure to rep
resent Tammany. he simply adopt
ed the tigers head, fitted a body
onto il, and used it Like the Re-
publican and Democratic parties
Tammany adopted the tiger ane
uses it to this day.

New York, July 10 P-One of
the most important Developments IN

has been the auth orization, use and
expansion Of bankers dollar accept

With the passage of the Fedora
Reserve act in 1914 member banks
were given the privilege of accept
ing drafts drawn upon them for the
purpose of financing the importa-
ton or expectation of goods, the
shipment OF goods within the INIT
Cd States and the storage OF GER

an opportunity to finance with dol

formerly settled for by cash loans
