WASHINGTON CITY, April 20,
1924. - Heaven smiled
upon and gave us liberty and in
dependence. That same PrOyi.
dence has blessed us with the
means Of national independence and
national defence.
If we omit or refuse to use the
gifts which He has extended to us,
we deserve not the continuation OF
His blessing. He has filled our
mountains and our plains with
minerals-with lead, iron and cop
per-and given us climate and
soil for the growing Of hemp and
wool. These being the great ma
lerials Of our national defence, they
ought to have extended to them
alleviate protection; that our man
ufacturers and labOlers may be
placed IN fair competition with
those of Europe, and that we have
within our country n supply OF
those leading and important artl-
cles so essential to war.
will ask, What is the real
situation Of the agriculturist
Where las the American farmer a
market for his surplus produce
Except for cotton, he has neither a
foreign nor home market. Does
not this clearly prove, when there
is no market at home or abroad,
that there is too much labor EN-.
ployed in agriculture? Common
sense at once points out the remedy,
Take from agriculture IN the United
States 600, 900 men, women and chill.
dreD, and You will at once give a
market for more brea lstuffs than
all Europe furnishes us.
In short, sir, we have been too
long subject to the policy Of British
merchants it is time we should
become a little more Americanized,
and instead of feeding paupers and
laborers of England, feed our own;
or else, in short time, by cOntinu-
ing our present policy, we shall be
rendered paupers ourselves.

a Letter from General Logan.
TO THE EX-CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS Oh
ROCKINGHAM COUNTY.

CHICAGO, October 26.-The fol-
lowing is copy of a letter sent by
General Logan in reply to an in.
vitation of the Confederate sol
diers Of Rockingham county, Vir
ginia, to address them:
Chicago, October %, 1SSi.-Cap-
tain John ii. Ralston, Harrison.
burg, Virginia, My Dear Sir
Your letter inclosing petition con
tanning over five hundred names of
Confederate soldiers residing in
your locality, requesting me to de-
liver an address at yonr place on
the political issues now presented
TO the citizens Of this Republic for
their decision, is received.
lregret exceedingly that my en-
gagements are such that | cannot
comply with their request, made in
such a kind and generous manner
as this has been. 1t does seem to
me that the people Of Virginia,
who are willing to lay aside their
former prejudices and move for
ward in the direction that will rive
them prosperity and be calculated
to develop the great mine of wealth
that lies buried beneath their soil,
should adopt the policy of a protec.
tive tariff, and invite Northern
capital to invest in manufacturing,
etc, in their State, and to assist in
the growth and development of the
various industries that your coun.
try is we'll adapted to. The people
of the South by adopting this
policy will move forward to great
results in the future.
"Those who are so prejudiced
that they cannot think or speak of
anything but the misfortunes of
the past and who refuse to aid and
assist in adopting any policy that
will be beneficial to any part of
their country, will perhaps continue
to cling to their prejudices. Let
the march of the progressive peo-
pie OF your country pass them by
the wayside aud move toward in
the direction Of grand results for
their people in the future, by
joining and assOciating themselves
with the party Of progress which
has shown an ability for opening
the way to and bringing about the
grandest results ever achieved by
the people ofany nation heretofore.
These men who have addressed
me in so kindly a manner / reco-
gnlze rs prave men, such as must
take the forefront in bringing the
Southern people ont from the lead
Of men who have kept their coun.
try depressed, aud who have never
shown the ability TO develop tho
great sources of wealth that are
everywhere found in their parr of
the country.
"Convey to these gentlemen my
regrets at my inability to visit
them during the campaign. AT the
same time give them my kindest
thanks for the very complimentary
manner in which they have add
rcSsed me personally.
"Witb great respect, | am, very
truly, JOHN A. LOGAN"

ment: "My son, who was between
three and four years old, was all
drawn up with rheumatism. His
bones were twisted, and he was all
doubled out of shape. He suffered
intense pain, had lost his appetite,
was cross and fretful. He was re-
dueed to a mere skeleton, and had
to be carried about on pillow
AS these cases of rheumatism,
where the bones were twisted and
the joints we're all crooked, had for
years bailled the skill of the most
eminent physicians, determined
to use Swift's Specific, as | had
seen testimonials from men whom
| knew to be trustworthy, Of similar
cases it had cured. ! used two
large size bottles of S. S. S. accord
ing to directions, with the most
satisfactory results. My son com
menced improving with the first
dose of the medicine. His SUITE
rings diminished daily and his
appetite increased; he became
cheeful and in good spirits. Ora.
dually he regained use Of his limps
the twisted bones and joints straigb-
tented out and in less than Two
months he was entirely cured, and
could walk and get about as well
as any child ofhis age.

The Three Blaine Points.

WOrkingmen everywhere should
remember the three points made
10y Mr.. Blaine in one of his speeches,
which should be the result of an
industrious mans labors in this
country.
l. A comfortable living for him
self and his family.
.. A good English education, at
least for his children.
3. a modest competence for him
self and wife in their old age, so
that they will not be dependent
either on the public or on their
friends when age has made them
helpless.
In other words Mr.. Blaine takes
the grOund-and rightfully-that
any rate of compensation for his
laborer that does not enable a fra.
gal, industrious and temperate
laboring man to accomplish the
above results is insufficient, and de-
priveS the laborer of part of that
which is honestly due him. Has
anybody ever formulated a more
righteous platform for laboring
men than Mr.. Blaine stands upon q?
