POLITICS IN AMERICA.
"Politically, this country is in an awful mess,'' a New York business firm writes to a Dunedin house, "and present indications surely point to an overthrow of the Republican Party at the next Presidential election in 1924, and the ousting of Mr Harding and his 'normalcy.' Congress has muddled things up for fair, what with the Bonus Bill, the Ship Subsidy Bill, and last, but not means least, the Tariff Bill. The recent coal and railway strikes were also miserably handled by Mr Harding's Cabinet officers. The high prices which prevailed during the war are still in effect, and notices have been broadcasted that there will be further advances in the prices of clothing, carpets, gloves, silks, linens, etc. Sugar and other household commodities have already been boosted."
