There is none other hike him, The afternoon papers are ‘‘sleepy’’ and their reporters are ‘‘asleep.'’ No other reporter ever finds out any- thing.

During this time the United States became a vast warehouse for the whole world, and the country was stocked with imported goods sutli- cient to last for a year. The limited revenue at this time is chargeable to the fact that the imports have fallen off.
