While the Republican party was
careful to avoid all reference to the
record between 1921 and 1924. the Re-
publican candidate Is entirely willing
to put the stamp of approval upon both
Republican administrations when he
said:
The record of these seven and a
half years constitutes a period of rare
courage in leadership and constructive
action. Never has a political party
been able to look back upon similar
period with more satisfaction"

that Mr. Hughes and Senator Borah

There is crying need today for a
reorganization of the structure and
framework of the Government itself.
Duplication Of effort, overlapping of
functions, waste of time, energy and
money grow out of the present COM
plicated, disjointed and disorganiZed
framework of the Federal Government.
This was recognized as far back as
1920. when the Republican party in its
platform promised reorganization. Fail
ing during the administration of Presi-
dent Harding, they promised 1t again i'll
1924 but up to and including this day
and minute, as a result of the promise,
they made just two consultations or
transfers Of functions when they took
the Patent ONCE and the Bureau of
Mines from the Department of Com
merce.
This year they have left 1t out of the
! platform entirely evidently regarding it
as something impossible under Repub-
lican auspices because of the Republican
hunger for patronage. The Democratic
party under my leadership brought
about a reorganization of the govern
ment of this State. Beginning with the
9Th of March that party will address it,
self to the problem in Washington and
predict that its efforts will meet with
| success.
The Republican party just before elec-
| ton always processes its love and deVo-
/ ton for the laboring man. The Ameri-
can workingman would be infinitely bet
ter off IL he could get some of this
sympathy after election.

BONDS SHOW GAINS
IN LIGHT TRADING
Profit Taking Apparent in
ConvertibIes-Treasury
Issues Are Firmer.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 15.-Among
the convertible bonds that have been
responsible for a high percentage of
the trading recently there was evidence
today of profit taking These issues
were replaced by others in which mod
crate gains occurred. The sections of
the market that are affected mainly
by investment conditions and by money
rates were dull and slightly changed.
Andes Copper Is declined points in
addition to nearly which they lost
last week. Dodge 6s were off a point
and 512 points under the high of a
week ago. Pressed Steel Car SIS and
BarnSdall IS, however, each rose a
point, and Public Service of New Jer-
sey 4l2s were up liz points. Cuba
Cane 8s rose a point and Eastern Cuba
Sugar 7l2S rallied points.
One of the unexpected movements
OF the day was an advance of 10
points in Goodyear SIS. This was the
first substantial upward movement the
bond has had in months. ConSolida-
ton Coal SIS likewise gained Il points.
Local fractions held substantially and
will be influenced from now on by the
rate hearing. The 4 Y per cent bonds
of two traction lines in New York
State sold at new low records. Recently
there has been better demand for
Chicago Railways SIS.
Seaboard Air Line refunding As and
the Florida IS displayed strength. On
the other hand, Atlantic Coast Line
collateralS were off 81.
Small changes occurred in the for
eign list. First rs were up a point.
The long-term u. S. Treasury GER
tiflcates were flrmer in spite of firmer
money rates.
Announcement was made today that
the Marland Oil Co. has called for re-
demption as Of December Is the ST.
100000 series of per cent notes due
June IS, 1929. The company's notes
may be redeemed on any interest date
at price equivalent to a Az per cent
annual net return on them.
Figures available today indicate
that of the total new capital raised by
domestic corporations in September, as
per cent was in common and preferred
stocks. Only 712 per cent of the
months total domestic and foreign is
sues were for refunding purposes, against
25 per cent for the nine-month period
to September 80. For the latter term
the total of all financing was approx
imately $4,000 00,000, of which $5, ,300,-
100000 represented new capital.

Money and Prices


Special DlSpatch TO Inc star.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, october IS
The wholesale price index rose to
99.4 last week after three successive
drops following the years high of
1908, registered on September 16. AS a
result of last weeks firmer commodity
prices, the dollars buying power de-
clined 2-10 of cent to 1905.
A constant fractional vacillating pur-
chasing power of the dollar such as
we had in the last few years indicates
relative money stability when COM
pared to the amazing gyrations in dol
lar value from 1879 to 1920. Between
1879 and 1896, for instance, the dollar
rose 27 per cent in value and between
1895 and 1920 it fell 70 per cent. Nat
urally the evils of def1ation and inf1a-
ton we're devastating in their effect
during those periods.
Although the dollar rose Sc per cent
in purchasing power between 1920 and
September, 1927, the largest deviation
since 1928 from the 1926 average of
100 was last year, when our none
tary unit averaged buying power of
942
Fluctuations in the general whole
sale price level and in the purchasing
power of the dollar are given below for
various periods. The average for the
year 1926 is the base used.

u. S. TRADE BALANCE
GAINS IN SEPTEMB Der
Exports Show Increase Over Same
Month Last Year, Figures
Reveal.
Rx the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
September foreign trade of the United
States showed exports of 426,000, 900,
against imports of 1921 900, 900. and left
a balance of trade favorable to this
country of $l05 100000. For the same
month last year the Commerce De-
partment figures showed: Exports,
$425, ,311 900, and imports, $341. .724, 900,
leaving favorable balance of $83,587,-
900.
Gold movements for the month were
negligible compared to the large figures
attached to metal shipments earlier in
the year. The United States exported
gold to a total of $3,810,000 and i'm
ported $4,273,000, thus gaining slightly
on the balance. For the nine months
of the year. including September, how
ever, the country'S gold exports have
amounted to $35,216,000 and imports
have been but 500, ,026,0o0, so that the
loss of gold has amounted to $435 190,-
600 in the period. In September last
year gold exports were $24, ,444,000 and
imports were 1919 900.
September silver exports amounted to
$6,229,0 900, against imports of $4,916,000
In the same month last year silver ex-
ports were $6,627,000 and imports were
1892 900.

GARMENT SALES AHEAD.
Producers Find Volume Over Total
of Last Years to Date.

Garment manufacturers, in tallying
their records, say they are pleased with
the progress of the Fall season thus
far. Business done or on the books in
most instances is ahead of last year at
this time. While some slight slowing up
may result from the recurrent spell OF
hot weather, the belief is that the usual
drop in temperature as the season ad-
vances will send retailers into the mar
ket again in large numbers for lmmedl-
ate shipment of merchandise.
Two features of the general Women's
apoarel situation stand out. One is the
improved call for better grade merchan-
disc from both department stores and
speciality shops. The latter have for
some time been trading up and the be-
lief in the trade is that department
stores are now following suit, to their
advantage The other factor is the
lowness of stocks of both finished gar
ments and piece goods. The market is
clean, it is agreed. a condition that
auglrs well for the start of the Spring
season some weeks hence.

Steel prices have been slow to re-

there has been some improvement, and
