decided that one of the old blue laws of
the state is of as much force now as it
was half a century or more ago when it
was first enacted. Under the statute re-

A Broad. Minded Candidate.

The Democratic candidate for
governor is strong advocate OF
the income tax. He declares that
he believes in it because the wealth
of the nation should pay it's share
of taxation. His position upon this
question is in marked contrast to
that of the great majority of the
men Of wealth. But recognizing
the fact that men are protected by
government in their belonging as
we'll as in person, and that they
should pay for its support in pro-
portion to amount Of protection re-
ceived, he allows no consideration
of personal interest to influence his
position on the great question of
equitable and just taxation. Such
adherence to principle indicates that
he is broad-minded, patriotic and
honest in his relations to public
questions and public duties, and
that as public official he will not
be controlled by considerations of
private interests. The whole record
Of his public life supports his view,
and should he be elected governor
this fall, he will administer the Of
fee solely in the interest of the
people. He will, as he says, swear
the collar Of no man or corpora

Remove the Differential Duty on
Sugar.

Whatever else the senate may fail
to do before adjournment, it should
not fail to remove the infamous diff.
ferential duty on refined sugar.
This differential is the chief duty
for which the sugar trust has been
working, and the trust will most
surely take advantage of it to raise
the price of sugar to all American
consumers. In fact it is reported
that the trust, in anticipation of the
failure of the senate to take any
further action on the tariff, has al
ready raised the price of sugar since
the passage of the German bill.
The country is in no condition to
stand the imposition of the tax,
while its removal will not material
ly affect the revenue of the govern
ment And its retention by the
senate will be universally regarded
as a victory of the sugar trust over
the rights of the people. The SEN
ate owes it to itself to wipe off the
stigma of sacrificing the rights of
the people simply to crafty the
sugar trust. If all other bills have
to be dropped, the resolution offered
by Senator Lindsay on Saturday,
looking to the removal of the differ
entail on sugar, should be earnestly
pressed.-New York Herald.

Pivotal Facts.

In considerating the justification
for the firm stand Of the House
the President and the Democrats OF
the country for free raw materials,
these pivotal facts must be remem.
bered:
/. Untaxed crude materials is
the original American policy. There
was no duty on wool for nearly
forty years after the adoption Of
the Constitution. Lead was never
taxed until the passage of the war
tariff in 1851. Pig-iron was free
until 1870, and scrap-iron was taxed
only "a per cent. before the war.
2. It is the policy of every ma
ton whose manufactures complete
with ours. No other civilized coun-
try, even those with protected tariffs,
makes manufacturing dear and in
creases the cost of transportation
and living by taxing coal, iron, lead,
copper, wool or lumber.

Improving Gradually.

Serious industrial disturbances in
New England, drought in central
and far western states curtailing
nearly all staple crops, and a dispo-
sition in all lines to continue to buy
for near by wants only, fail to great
ly influence general trade through
out the country, the trend of which
is toward further improvement.
Northern states east of the Missouri
and the Atlantic and gulf coast
southern states report relatively
greater gains in the volume of traf-
tic and in the spread of that better
feeling and confidence in a larger
volume of business in the fall, on
which improvement in business de-
ponds. Prominent among evidences
of expansion in general trade is this
weeks bank clearings total $780,
600, 900, a gain over last week of
about A per cent and over the like
total one year ago when clearings
got down to about low water mark,
the increase is 20 per cent. But
compared with the total in the like
week two years ago this weeks ag-
gregate clearings show a decrease
of Is per cent. 1t is also worth
noting as a sign of the business
movement that every city's clearings
total for the week is larger than a
year ago except one. Gains in
clearing at whisky markets, Louis
vile, Cincinnati, Paris and licking
ton, have naturally been expanded
extraordinarily. The greatest APP
parent increase in the volume of

Louis, Baltimore, Chicago, st. Paul,

At large eastern cities there is
evidence Of an increased confidence
that the autumn will bring a large

staple lines, but Baltimore is the
only city in this group announcing
a decided improvement. Sales of

The Republican press and pollti-
clans are in amazing frame of
mind because it is charged that the
sugar trust managed to get one-fifth
Of cent pound protection on re-
fined sugar. The Mckinley bill
gives the trust one-half cent a
pound protection, but there was no
dispute and consequently no scandal
when the McKinleyites fixed up the
sugar subsidy. The trust was al
lowed by Mckinley to fill blank
in the sugar schedule with the
figure that was wanted, and the one
half cent pound duty was the
result.

SERIOUS FACTS ABOUT FOOD.
The Recent Cases of Poisoning From
Alum Baking Powder.

The recently reported cases of
poisoning in Wisconsin from the
use of alum baking powders have
awakened the public to the serious
danger which menaces the health of
the people of this country in the
numerous brands of these goods
now being urged upon consumers.
There is no question as to the
detrimental effects of the alum
baking powders upon the system.
Every Board Of Health, every ply
stefan, will tell Of the unwholesome
qualities they add to the food.
Some countries have prohibited the
sale of bread containing alum.
Even small doses of alum, given
to children, have produced fatal re-
suits, while cases of heartburn, in
digestion, gripping constipation, dys-
pepsia and various kindred gastric
troubles from irritation of the mu-
cous membrane, caused by the con-
tinuous use of food prepared with
the alum or alum phosphate pow
ders, are familiar in the practice of
every physician.
1t is not possible that any pru-
dent housewife, any loving mother,
will knowingly use an article of
food that will injure the health Of
her household, or perhaps cause the
death of her children.
How shall the dangerous alum
powders be distinguished? And
how shall the danger to health from
their use be avoided?
Generally, alum powders may be
known from the price at which they
are sold, or from the fact that they
are accompanied by a gift, or
are disposed of under some
scheme. The alum powder costs
but few cents pound to make,
and is often sold at 20 or % cents a
pound. If some present is given
with it, the price may 30, 40 or so
cents pound.
1t is impossible to name all the
alum powders in the market, but
any baking powder sold at low
price, or advertised as costing only
half as much as cream of tartar
powders, or accompanied by pres
ent, or disposed Of under any
scheme, is of this class, detrimental
to health, and to be avoided.
But the easy, safe, and certain
protection Of our bread, biscuit and
cake from all danger Of unwhole-
someness is the use of the Royal
Baking Powder only. This powder
is mentioned because of the innu-
merable reports in it's favor by high
medical authorities, by the U. S.
Government, and by the official
chemists and Boards Of Health
which leave no doubt as to it's entire
freedom from alum, lime and am
monia, its absolute purity and whole
someness. While its use is thus
safeguard against the poisonous
alum powders, it is satisfactory at
the same time to know that owing
to its greater strength it is more
economical than others.
These facts should incline con-
sumers to turn a deaf ear to all i'm
portunities to buy the inferior pow
ders. The wise housekeeper will
decline in all cases to take them.
Take no chances through using
a doubtful article where SO impor-
tant matter as the health or life
Of dear ones is at stake.
