It Is a familiar experience to us with
the approach every four yeara of the
Prcriuentlal election that there Is a
period of cessation and of stagnation
In the business world. We have got
Into the habit of delaying our ordinary
hiuiness engagements for the year

Is silly for any one to conclude that In
t 4 !® event ths election should go a
cettaln way that people would quit
buying and selling, that they would
rot continue to oat food and ‘ wear
clothea as formariy. Hanes It follows
that thare la nothing significant In
mere Improvement of business
after an election, and after a depres-
si in which had already begun to right
Itself. It requires something more
definite and pronounced than the nor
mal activity In Industrial circles at
ta# season of tha yea^ when every
one I* supposed to ba busy, If evar,
to Indicate an Industrial revival such
as we ara conspiring together to make

Not in at least four years has

least one day, Its buying orders

full business day this week, much
more than a million shares were
dealt In on Ih# atock exclmnga.
This la a phenomenon which tails
for several Inquiries. Who are tn#
real buyers? What ta tha basis
for their belief In the sudden • and
10-point rise In prloae, and what
does It foreshadow.
..The real buyers, aside from

TAFP8 LAUDABLE TARIFF VIEWS.
Raya President-elect Wllllmn How
ard Taft:
'H pen king for myself, aa the
temporary leader of the party, and
ns the neat president, 1 wish to
affirm that no effort of mini will
be spared to make the revision of
the tariff under the Republican
auspices and within t*hg conserva
tive protective llnea as thorough
nnd as Impartial between the con
sumer and the manufacturing In
terests aa possible. I believe that
there are many schedules which
ought to ba reduced. I believe
net them am a few. and only a
few. that ought to be raised, 'but
on tho whole the revision should
ho a rnvlalon downward and not
upward. I am convinced that the
people of the country deatre such
a revision. 1 am convinced that
tl.elr representative* coming back
to Congress will be Imbibed with
that sentiment, and that no suc
cessful obstruction oan be placed
In Me way of such congressional
action."
