The old game of bluff is being played by the Itepublicans—they talk now as if the election, which is to be Jinbl next November, is already won,
but their tune will change ; they will Kinley bill
sing out ol the other side of their mouths after the votes are eounted. The price of clothing—we refer to •good, all-wool clothing, and not stuff made up of shoddy or half cotton doth—is cut in two by the enactment of the new tarill law, and the people 1 will be able to wear good clothing at the cost of what poor duds cost them kinder the McKinley monstrosity. Do protectionists imagine that the people will object to this change; do they suppose that buyers will kick because they will be enabled to buy the best for the price they formerly
paid for the worst?
The Banner-Times says “the demoscratic tax on the poor man’s breakfast table has gone into “affect.” •“Affect” is good, awfully good, but Chore is naught else good in the sentence. IftbeB T. would tell the truth it would avoid printing such misleading drivel. It is worse than unless to prevarciate ; why don't it tell its readers that the new law re 4uc<>« taxes on shawV an ! cloth 7."» percent,; on soap, cutlery, cotton ■cloths, blankets, hats, flannels, dress 8ouds and carpets over 50 per emit : «ju w indow glass, spectacles, tin plate, needles, underwear, hosiery, pearl Smttous, gloves, matches, etc., over 25 per cent., etc. Tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and Nall the people will be pleased with the new tariff bill.
Make a note of it—McKinley will not lie the next Republican nominee for President. McKinley and McKin leyism is not a drawing card, even in Republican circles now-a-days. Democrats should beware of the Republican tempters who are around seeking to secure votes fora portion of their county candidates—“a complimentary vote lecausehe is such a nice fellow” is the way some of
them put it.

A Gradual Improvemont In Trade Is Reported.

GAINING SLOWLY. New York, Sept. 1.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: "The activity which came with exhausted atocks and the pressure of delayed full demands. and which was increased by the removal of uncertainty about the tariB. hns continued ♦with heavy entries of foreign good# since the bill became u luw. The gain is not yet what teas expected, and business. If good iu comparison with last year. Is still poor In comparison with years preceding. Presumably there has not been time to feel the full effects of the change, and a gradual gain will be more healthy and encouraging than a spasmodic rise, but the expansion of commercial loan* has suddenly ceJscd. prices of manufactured product, show weakness rather than strength, and there has been a reaction in the stock market, prices of railway stocks averaging 32 cents and of trust stock 2.11 per share lower than a week ago. "The price of wheat has risen a shade during Uic week. Corn advanced 8H cents, while pork has risen 25 cents per barrel and lard 55 cents per lou ]K>unds. Fears of frost, the crop being lute, are argued as a reason for quotations otherwise unwarranted. Cotton has declined an eighth for the week, but the year closes with every Indication of a yield materially exceeding the world's maximum eonsumpiion of American and with l.i'OO.OuO bales of old cotton In sight. The demands for products of Iron and steel has increased, but prices tend downward where any change appears, as there is not enough business yet to employ the works In operation. The Failure itecord. "Failures arc still few and small. For the third week of August reported liabilities were #2.876,518, but for three weeks only #S.2U,470, of which #2,845 838 were manufacturing ami *3 -81,414 of trading concerns The average is only 111,f<21 per firm fulling. The failures this week have been 168 in the t tilted States, against 356 last year, and 40 la Canada, against J» lust year." Ilrndstreet'* View. llradstrcet says: "At all but a few of the cities from which the special telegrams received favored Influences are shown to have bien at work, resulting in still further Improvement In the business situation since the settlement of the tariff question. The free wool clause of the new tariff resulted In heavy withdrawals of that staple and renewed activity among inunufucturer.. Next moat conspicuous withdrawals from bond are dry goods, crockery and glassware At Philadelphia as at N'pw York, sugar is u.tvuiielng onspeculullve demand, and it is declared grocers will eurrv heavier stocks. The outlook fur iron and ste. 1 is not for an early advance In prices, due to increasing output. New England woolen mllis are now reporting orders for heavy w oolens HltuatIon nt .tinny Points. "Thus far funds to move crops have not gone west as freely as anticipated. All western centers covered. except Cincinnutl. Cleveland. Detroit and Omaha report distinct gains in the volume of business this week. The relatively favorable condition of trade in the region tributary to the throe larger Minnesota cltlrsduring August is based on a better wheat crop than predicted and practical depletion of country storekeepers' stocks. At Cleveland previous gains In the business situation td-r retained, notably Urmncss In lake freights and in the demand for money. Cincinnati manufacturers are quiet and there Is only a moderate demand for groceries and dry poods Louisville has felt the stimulus more, reporting n healthful gain this week, notably in tea and tobacco. Detroit's Interior trade is leas active than It would have been except for the drought. Chicago reports gains In the demand In all lines, particularly in dry goods, clothing end shoes, and in Iron and steel. St. Louis' volume of business continues to increase. The surprisingly favorable news Is received that Kansas City merchants, notwithstanding the effects of the drought, have been having a larger trade and making better collections. At Omaha no material change Is noted except that country merchants being compelled to buy nearer hdknc helps Omaha Jobbers. A largo business in staples has been transacted at Mllwaukt 4. At m. Paul and Minneapolis the Impruted business of the month of August la continued. Activity characterises trade at 8an Francisco In all tines. Grain vessels are In demand, with wheat and bags lower and freight higher. NAMED FOR CONGRESS.

throughout the country.
