from every source-the press, the plat
form, and even the pulpit, on the great
economic and political questions involv-
ing the general welfare and best interests
Of the masses. By the assiduitieS Of
capitalists, false doctrines have been in
cuIcated, either directly or by innuendo,
until, we, as people, have drifted far
from the original and benefcent princl-
ples of the common law and the sound
philosophy Of the great patriots Of our
country. So true is this that we find the
great moneyed interests and corporations
intrenched in what they are pleased to
call vested rights, perverting these salu-
tary provisions of our constitution and
laws and utterly ignoring and defantly
tEampling on the more sacred rights Of
the people.
Our legislative bodies have too often
been the mere venal agents Of capitalists,
our executives their menialS,whose high
est duties has been to do the bidding Of
incorporated and aggregated wealth, and
even our courts have been 80 much the
sycophants OF this "power behind the
throne" that they have inslnuated by de-
grees into the pure stream of justice
their nefarious heresies, until, having In
many instances perverted It's functions,
miscOustrued and mlsapplled It's equlta-
BILE principles, they have In measure
built up new system Of jurisprudence
entirely at variance with the pure cur
rent Of the common law and simple JUS
tice, diametrically opposed to the rights
OF the people and subversive of the prin-
ciples Of good government.
But, worse than all this, the people |
themselves have been led to believe and |
advocate these heresles; and, coming as
they did from those In authority, they
have been inculcated by degrees until
many honest people have accepted them
a. the true doctrine, and have, without
investigation, followed these designing |
leaders until the falIacles became 80 pal
pable they could be felt before they would
awaken to sense Of the true situation
and realize the deplorable condition into
which they were drifting.
How often and perslstently do we hear
the cry raised whenever any measure Is
proposed In the interest of equal and
exact justice TO Rll-such as an equity of
redemption law-that It will drive away
capital from the state. Insinuating on
ONE hand that we are dependent upon
foreign capital for our prosperity, and
tacitly admitting upon the other that such
capital could not be induced to come to
state unless it we're In measure permit
ted to rob the people under the protec-

Entirely blind to the fact that even
handed justice would enable the citizens
OF Kansas, who have developed the great
resources Of the state, and who by their
intelligence, energy and industry are
constantly creating this timorous capital
for these foreigners, to retain this pro-
duct Of their own hands for themselves;
and thus have capital that will not be 80
timorous, and that will bear Its equal

The charge is being made that the Royal Baking
Powder contains ammonia We would have supposed that
the emphatic condemnation of ammonia baking powders
by the eminent physicians throughout the land and
the fact of the three leading chemists of Minnesota max
inc their report to the Senate Committee recently showing
that bread baked with the "Roya" contained ammonia
and the hostility being manifested by the public
against all ammonia and alum baking powders would have
driven them permanently from the market
In view of the fact that Baking Powder has become
an indispensable article in every Kitchen is gratifying
to know that there are brands to which
suspicion of any kind has ever attached. DR.. Prices

Poisoned BY Scrolnla

Is the sad story Of many lives made mis-
cradle through no fault of their own.
Scrofula is more especially then any
other hereditary disease, and for this
simple reason. Arising from impure
and insufficient blood, the disease locates
itself in the nymphatics, which are com
posed of white tissues; there is period
of foedal life when the whole body con
sists of white tissues, and therefore the
unborn child is especially susceptible TO
this dreadful disease. But there is a
remedy for scrofula, whether hereditary
or acquired. 1t is Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which by its powerful effect on the
blood, expels all trace of the disease and
gives to the vital fluid the quality and
color of health. If you decide to take
Hoods Sarsaparilla do not accept any
substitute.

following, which may be of interest to
Terrell county farmers;
l. To make farming pay is to never buy
anything for farm use that you can raise

family on credit; pay cash for what you
get and discount your bills.

Such compilations as so many of our

covered with sores and blackheads, is
enough to cool the ardor of the warmest

say, that you can never have soft, fair
smooth, attractive, kissable complexion
unless your blood is healthy and pure,
for the condition of of the blood decides
the complexion. DR.. Pierce's Golden

intrinsic worth as is the finest tempered

irreproachable character as a business

an 0LD LESSON.

He who prospers must first learn to
help himself. That is the law ofour
creation,
There is no relief from the woes of
Incidence. Prosperity can come alone
from the weli.iounded basis of first
making and then saving.
The drain OF this country's wealth
from year to year is making its pov-
erty and consequent hard times. No
section that deals alone in its raw ma
terial can escape an ultimate deterioa,
ton.
The most impr, ssive object lesson
that we can suggest is one that stands
before us. The natural timber of this
section, Of forty years ago, standing
today in our fields, would make a val.
ne double that which represents our
lands and tenements, towns and en-
virons, and all our banking capital,
bonds securities, and other personal
property.
Il this is so, then we have been de-
stroying ourselves. The cotton plan
ter Of to>day is following up the same
plan Of destruction 10y exhausting the
fertility OF his fields, and gaining no
profit IRON his labor.
The simple remedy lies in the man.
