Again, among the Republican leaders, at Washington the matter is being discussed. It seems that that party, which has eternally stood for high tariff is now beginning to see things as the Demo cratic party formerly saw them. Some of our Southern editors resrard this change of attitude as desirable. They seem not to realize that, while free-tiade would have meant much for the old South, the industries of the "New South" have been built up under thatsame protection which fomer iy meant so much for New England. Tre South is rapidly becoming a manufacturing section. As yet that industrial development, is in a way, ia its infancy. If our development has been begun under protection, would it not grow more rapidly to maturity under that same protection? When did the Southern politician cease to agitate this question, and why? If we remember aright, it was some time after Cleveland's last adminis tration. Then it was that the South seemed to realize her industrial pos sibilities, to turn her face to the future, and see that the same protection which was necessary to sustain the life of New England's industries, could but be favorable to her own growth. Since that time little of this ques tion has been heard on the huskings. Now the agitation is heard again, but from another quarter, and why? It is enough to say that there are more important questions for our consideration at present. number of general merchandiser,1." nMne Rtm tw co. v...... wnere nis motner worKed to support since prohibition wentinto effect.' ,f ff6 lldren ' Not only has there been a large in- L t .

Milliard Fillmore was the son of a New York farmer, and his home was an humble one. When he was four teen years old he was sent away from home to learn the business of a clothier.

What is the history of all this confusion in and around Wall street? Two years ago the so-called adverse attitude of the Government began with the insurance investigations. Then come Federal and State railway rate regulation. Despite all this, insurance companies continue to do business, and railroads are carrying more passengers than ever before. But Wall street has jsed all its force to disturb confidence. Until recently all its efforts have been without effect except on the stock market; but now comes distur bances in the New York banking circles. What the trouble was, no one seems to know; but there is one significant fact. It ha3 had but little effect on other financial institutions, especially in the South. We quote from a recent editorial, which gives the whole situation: "Where bus iness has been done on safe, conservative, and business-like lines there is no disturbance and no apparent prospect of any. Managers of well con ducted institutions have been preparing for a storm a long time, and as they are ready for it, it is hardly possible that any storm shall come. When everybody has umbrellas ready it rarely rains, and when everybody i: armed and prepared we rarely have riots.

I have a son in the mercantile business, and since we closed the bar rooms, his business has increased one hundred per cent. This may not be due entirely to the closing of the bars, but I am satisfied 50 per cent is due to this. So far as the peace and good order of the town is con cerned, there is no comparison. We now have quiet streets, and when we had bars, it was frequently difficult to walk them on Saturdays, especial ly in the evening. Yours truly, A. O. Gaylord. Plymouth, Aug. 3, 1907.
