In at least one State of the Union the
people will now, probably, have an op-
portunity to know what they take into
their stomachs or apply to their bodies
when they use patent medicines. A bill
has passed one house in Iowa and will, it
is belieyed-certainly at the next session
become law, providing that no patent
medicine shall be sold In that State that
does not show in plain English upon the
label of the bottle, box or article the
formula of the preparation, setting forth
the ingredients in the fluid, powder. pill
or article and the quantity of each. A
heavy penalty is provided for violation OF
the Act. No sufficient reason can be ad-
vanced why this should not become the
law. We require the character of many
other goods to be set forth upon the label
or IN the stamp. Why not in the case OF
patent medicines? If it is replied that
the revelation would enable anyone to
concoct the mixtures and thus deprive
the manufacturers of their profit, the an
swer to the objection is that as between
manufacturers profits and the peoples
good the latter should have first consid-
Grafton; besides the manufacturer can in
woke the law to protect him against in
fringement and imitation. But even il
this is not so, the simple right of the peo-
ple to know what it is that is offered fol
ssle is an indisputable one, and. for the
rnatter of that, if the law resulted in de-

Hon. EMORY SMITH, at the banquet of
life insurance men in New York re-
Gently, made the statement that the an
nual liquor-drink bill of the people of
the United States is four times as great as
the entire cost of all the life insurance
carried by the citizens of the Union. The
statement being challenged, the actuary
proceeded to prove it. How far does the
fact operate TO produce distress and pow
erty, want and the unreliability COM
planned of among the wage-earners ofour
country? would be the next natural and
interesting question to suggest itself.

cine business. the result would be better
for man than the sale of the goods.

THE Adjutant- General of Ohio ought to
prosecute to the EXTREMIST the three busi-
ness men of Cleveland who discharged
employees for responding to call as militia
men. The law makes it crime to inter-
rupt militiaman on his way in response
to orders. or to seek to prevent him from
doing duty, or TO threaten him for obey
ing orders. These very business men
who thus defed the law and proved
themselves to be the unpatriotic, un-
american and niggards of the meanest
order. will be the very first to howl for
protection when lawlessness puts their
property in peril.

The directors of the Merchants
bank voted TO pass the usual dividend
this year. They charged off $50, 900
worth of paper regarded as worthless
or doubtful. This is conservative
estimate and some of the paper is like
" to prove of value.
This leaves the surplus and undi-
vided profits at 1000, and the book
value of the stock is Sl.O4. The bank
is in sound financial condition,in spite
Of the above action.
The management express satisfac-
ton at the fact that, amid all these fl
nancial discouragements, not one ac-
count has been withdrawn.
Hereafter the Merchants bank will
invest at home. In nine years past,
ONLY 800 have been lost ON Eastern
investments, which fact points plain
moral.
