A Free Trade Chestnut.

The staple article in the free trade
market now is the decline In the price of
quinine, which is, Of course, credited to
the removal Of the duty on that drug.
But the removal Of the duty could only
have affected the price in this country,
If that were really the cause Of the de-
cline, whereas the wonderful fall has
taken place everywhere else to the
same extent precisely. 1t ia to be at

vast amount OF bark now rapidly be-
coming available from this new source
of production, and to the further fact
that method has been discovered for
stripping the bark from the tree with

SAN ANTONIO has before her board Of
trade very comprehensive scheme for
creating S., 0OO, 900 capital stock for the
purpose of aiding and encouraging
manufactures, development of mineral
resources and any other enterprise
which may benefit this city and county
10 particular, and southwestern Texas
In general. The particulars Of this
scheme will be found In the local COL
umns of this issue. The practicability
OF this scheme is not now under discus
sion. The matter will, no doubt, re-
celye some newspaper criticism before
winding up in the regular meeting OF
the board Of trade next Saturday, at
which time it will be formally consider
ed and acted upon. This ia only one
more straw proving that the slack, back
action days Of this city are slowly drift
Ing down the stream, and that new
idea Of enterprise and spirit OF pro-
gressive actIor not yet noted in San An
tonic is gradually, but surely, taking Its
place. Out Of all of these various move
ments and suggestions and enterprises,
will In time come new city with ideas
of progress and municipal government
somewhat commensurate with her nat
ural advantages.

A General Tie-Up

OF all the means of public conveyance in a
large city, even for a few hours, during a
strike of the employees, means general par
alyzng of trade and industry for the time be-
ing, and is attended with an enormous aggre-
gate loss to the community. How much more
serious to the individual is the general tie-up
of his system, known as constipation, and due
to the strike OF the most important organs for
more prudent treatment and better care. If
too long neglected, torpid or sluggish liver
will produce serious forms of kidney and liver
diseases, malarial trouble and chronic dyspep-
STA. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are preventive and cure for these disorders.
They are prompt, sure and effective, pleasant
to take, and positively harmless.
