Having looked up on McAdo, having heard his speeches and having witness ed his affront to the President of Peru, we are sure that the suspicions of Latin America against us have now harden- ed into grim certainty." 3 Senator Chilton of Wefet Virginia seeks to minimize the importance of the recent Congressional by-election in his State. This is entirely natural. The Democrats have always' tried to insist that the results of the elections of 1914 and 1915 constitute a Democratic , victory. If so, it is the same class as the diplomatic "triumphs' which the administration is no cnnstantly gaining in lli columns of Difmocratit newspaper. in inilli in Pi' inyratic lea Jjr of c.y.?

Ample Protection Afforded. The Etepbens-Asburst bill .Is not compulsory. To take advantage of its provlxlon the producer most register his trademark or special brand with tbe bureau of corporations In Wash ington and must pay a fee of $10. He must not have a monopoly of articlea belonging to tbe same general clans of merchandise, and be must not agree with any competitor to control prices, Tbe producer must also file a sched ule glring the prices at which his listed rticle Is sold to wholesalers, to retail ors and to the consumer. This scbed- nle of prices becomes a public docu ment. 7be prices scheduled must be uniform to buyers under almilar -lr- cumstancea. This permits reduction in prices for quantity purchases and al lowances to equalize freight rates. A merchant who decides to quit busi ness, wbo wishes to discontinue any line of listed goods or wbo become. bankrupt must first offer sucb lifted rtHes to tbe manufacturers for r drtnptlon at the full price paid.
