The Arson Advocate (approvingly quoted
by the Argus referring to the low price of
potatoes in Aroostook county, says: "If the
Mckinley bill had anything to do with the
price of potatoes, there is something wrong
If high tariff makes high prices, then shove
her up another notch or two on this potato
business" 1t is the Democratic claim, not
the Republican, that tariff makes high
prices. The Republicans have always con-
tended that very common effect of the
protective tariff was to make prices lower
The chief benefit of protection from a Re
publican point Of view is that by securing to
the home producer the home market it
gives employment to our own people.
The free trade Democrats, including
the Argus contend, however, that the
effect of the tariff is to- increase the price
to the consumer by just the amount of the
duty. Now let us see how that claim is sup
ported by the present prices of Aroostook
potatoes. The duty on potatoes is % cents
bushel, yet the starch factories in Aroostook
county are buying potatoes at from 10 to d
cents busbel. Does the Argus contend
that In this case the duty has been added 70
the price? If so, then were there no dutv
the farmers of Aroostook would today be
getting nothing from the factories for their
potatoes, and even paying the factories in
some cases from to 10 cents bushel to take
them. 1t follows, therefore, either that the
tariff has kept up the price of Arootook pota-
toes and been Of benefit to the farmers. or
that the Argus's claim that the price is in
creased by just the amount of the duty is err
rOneous.

There would seem to be no doubt that the
bl-chloride of gold preparation which DR..
Kelley injects into the veins of inebriates
does for time remove the craving for alec
holic stimulants. The testimony of many
men, many Of them men of prominence, who
have been addicted to the alcoholic vice, and
who have tried DR.. Keeley's remedy is all in
that direction. A Tennessee Judge who has
been treated at DR.. Keeley'S inst tuition de-
clares that he feels like new man, and
though at first Dwight was to him valley
of humiliation, he shed tears when he left il.
and has been living on the glad mountain
tops ever since. A Clergyman declares that
he carried one of his parishioners to Dwight
who had been addicted to alcoholism, and
after treatment took him home new
man. Such testimonies as these might be
multiplied almost indefinitely. Concern
ing the permaneDce of the cure, how.
ever, 1t is yet too early to Judge. In
time the craving which appears to have
been destroyed may reassert itself, having
been held merely in abeyaDce. Years must
elapse before it can be positively asserted
that DIR. Keeley's cure is a permanent cure.
but that 1t does for time at least remove the
passion for alcoholic stimulants, even max.
ing such stimulants loathsome to people
who have been addicted to them, seems to be
pretty well established by the testimony
Of those who have been subjected TO DR.
Keeley's treatment.

demand of the apothecaries just formulated

dispense alcoholic liquors for medicinal pur-

from the testimony of impartial observers
much less LIQUOR is dispensed by them for

The grape scare in New York has finally

vineyards and finds that the whole trouble
was caused by few grape growers not fol-
lowing carefully the directions for spraying
with the Bordeaux mixture. The grapes
improperly sprayed are not many, and there
is no trouble in detecting them by the green
film adhering to their skins. The proba-
bility Is that the eating of these grapes even
would not produce any very serious results,
unless person swallowed an enormous

As was to be expected the churches of
Iowa are rallying to the support of the pro-
hibitory law, and the Democratic attempt to
overthrow it is meeting very vigorous de-
nunciation at their hands At recent
Methodist conference this resolution was
adopted:
"We depreeate the attempt OF any party TO re-.
lnstate the legalized saloon in our State and
maintain that such party is an enemy of the home
the church ana the State, and In alliance with ali
the dangerous elements that menace the purity Of
the home and the safety of the Commonwealth.
we maintain that party alliance with the out
lawed saloon is rank treason against the State
we denounee the attempt of any party to cripple
and obstruct the enforcement of the prohibtory
law and then on the ground of non-enfOrcement
demand the repeal Of said law"
In treating this resolution on the stump
Gov. Boies, Democratic candidate for gov
-erpor. characterizes it as the work of som,
clerical gentlemen who don't know wha
they are talking about. But the ministers O
the Methodist church not only generally
know what they are talking about, but they
are in the habit Of backing up their word
with acts.
