Upon my asking his reason for thinking so, he said Reed is heavily interested in a corporation that is nothing more or less than a busi. ness fake.

What is the matter ¥ Prior to the election it was due to the tariff policy of Cleveland. The election was held in the first week in November, There was no Democratic “free trade” victory.
