a The Tariff act of I842 is the only ,meastire
upon which the wings can rally With any pro-
priety in the pending contest in Tennessee A
national bank is literally 4" ain obsolete idea" :"
The only question that can be raised as to fiscal

controverted. The treasurers of the Lowell Cot
ton FACTORIES have reported the actual dividends
made in the year 1914 The following table
made out from their report will show what were
