THE Western Democrats
have won some great victories
IN recent years on the tariff
issue, and by reason of the
growing sentiment there in OPP
position to a high protective
tariff, have succeeded in carry
ing congressional districts that
have heretofore been strongly
Republican. We think, how
ever, that there is too much of
the old prejudice left, engend-
cred by the war, for them to
carry any of those States in the
coming presidential election.
But that they do not propose to
abandon the fight is shown by
the action of the Iowa Demo-
cratic convention which pro-
claimed that the question of
tariff reform is "the paramount
issue in the Presidential cam
paign," and it sets fourth the
principles of that reform in the
most convincing manner, de-
claring that "itmeans the right
of every man to put into his
OWE mouth the bread that he
earns with his own hand, and
q | of it, without having it tolled
or taxed for the private benefit
of any of his fellow-men."
1t would be hard to express
with more clearness the issue
between the people and the
trusts, monopolies and fa-
vored classes under our existing
protective" system.

IngratItude.

by a mysterious perVefSlOI
of human nature those we dc
the most for are often our worst
enemies. You may roll up
your sleeves and devote your
time and talents to fighting
battles for others, but when
they get a chance TO return
your Kindness, instead of fight
ling for you, they frequently
array themselves with your
enemies and try to injure you.
1t appears to be natural for
every man to stand by those
who have befriended him and
made sacrifices to promote his
welfare and success, and this is
the course always pursued by
those who have proper concep-
tions of the duties and RESPONSE.
billties of manhood, but for
some unaceountable reason
men sometimes ignore natural
affection, appreciation and
gratitude, and seek the destruc-
tion of those who have been
instrumental in promoting their
success and placing them in
positions of honor and profit.
This is one of the worst as
poets of perverted human nature
and does incalculable harm. 1t
destroys mans confidence in
man, and is a factor that is con-
tinually working evil. Ingrat-
itude is something that every
man should shun as a deadly
viper. 1t suspended our Saviour
upon a cruel Roman cross and
the narration of its heinous
deeds would require many large
volumes.
Ingratituds is a foe to the
amelloration of the condition of
the human family. 1t has a
hardening and destructive in
fuence and constantly leads in
the wrong direction. With its
poisonous qualities it creeps into
the church, into the social cir
Gle, into business, into politics
and into all the affairs of this
mundane sphere.
1t would be a tedious task to
attempt to enumerate the num-
ber of men who have been
"knifed" by politicians-men
who worked with all the vim
and earnestness of their natures
to place those very politicians
in power. The history of
politics in this country furnish
es multitudes of such cases, and
the thoughtful manscannot fail
to see in them germs that
threaten the future prosperity
and welfare of the government.
In view of the unnaturalness
and evil tendency of ingradi-
tude, it becomes the duty of
every man who desires to reach
the summit of PATRIOTS II and
philanthrophy or to attain to
the highest degree of individual
happiness, to cultivate a spirit
of gratitude. No one who is not
true to those who help him can
be a man in the noblest sense
of that term. He may have the
outward form of a man, but he
lacks the most essential part
the spirit that moulds. shapes,
guides and controls the life of
the highest type of manhood.

Pure Food.

There is pending in congress
what is knswn as the "Pad
dock Pure Food Bill" This
bill has been before congress
probably in some shape or 9th
er for several sessions and has
been examined and approved
by the various agricultural so,
cieties and health organizations
of the country. The object il
to have a genera law to pre-.
vent the manufacture and sale
of adulterated and deleterious
food and drinks. why it hangs
without becominKsa law is un-
explained, unless is the anita
gonism of big GOVERNS that are
interested in manufacturing
bogus articles.
1t has long been notorious
that the people are greatly inn
posed upon and injured by the
sale of impure articles of food.
The extent of the imposition is
not known because there is no
systematic mode of detection.
Nearly everything we eat or
drink comes to US these days in
a manufactured condition and
so changed or disguised that no
one except an expert by a chem
ical analysis could tell what its
composition is. In old times
nearly every article that went
to the the table came to the
kitchen unprepared and. in its
original condition. The flour
or meal came from the neigh
boring mill-the meat from the
smokehouse and the fruit and
vegetables from the orchard
and garden in their natural
shape. But now all this is
changed in these days of can
ming, when fruits, vegetables,
meats, and in fact everything
are put up in cans or other
packages ready for the table.
This gives a big opportunity
for admiration and cheat, which
it is fair to believe is fully taken
advantage of.
In former times the only sus-
picion Of unfair dealing in this
respect was that the esugar was
sanded and the whiskey water
ed, neither of which very seri-
Gus. Now everything is subject
to suspicion. Your coffee may
be and frequently is chioory and
parched peas; your pepper and
other spices dirt-fiavored; your
canned fruits and meats poison
ed by decay or the cheap sub
stituted meals in which they
are enclosed; your -four mixed
with plaster or barytes to give
it weight, ana your meats,
which you buy abroad, diseas-
ed; your butter, oleomargarine
or other limitations, made of
material that may come from a
soap factory. All of these
adul, erations and a hundred
more have been detected and
exposed, but there is no general
law to detect and punish them.
There are limitations which
are claimed TO be harmless and
as good as the original. This
may be so, but the average
man would like to know what
he is eating and drinking.
0leomargarine may be as good
as cew-butter or a mixture of
cotton seed oil as good as hogs
lard, but every one would like
to know when he is eating
whether he is eating real butter
or real lard. A man who eats
a thing or buys an article has a
right to know what he is eating
and what he is peying for.
Manufactured and prepared
articles should be marked with
the name of the manufacturer
and with the ingrediments of
the package. Farmers have an
analysis of the fertilizers they
sow upon their crops marked
upon the bags and is it not
much more important that peo.
pie should know exactly what
they areputting into their stom.
