tariff and protection. The camp aign can
not be conducted on money platform in
this State. We viii i have little need of
money if our wool growers and manufac-
turers are not able to do business at a
profit.
az am Democrat and have been a Dem
ocrat all my life, but / am bound to pro-
tect my own interests, and ali those inter-
ests depend on protective tariff. There
is no State in the Union that needs il more
than does California.
81 do not see how either OF the parties
can carry on successful campaign in this
State on any other issue To the most
superficial mind it must be obvious that
difference in the price of wool of 26 and 13
cents and II and Al cents issof great mo-
ment to the sheep-raisers- That is start
ling drop in each case. Ohio Xxx sold for
26 cents before the passage of the Wilson
bill, and now it is on the market for I3
California woods have gone down on the
same ratio. | sold hundreds of tons this
spring for AZ cents. That is the Wilson
tariff. The farmers and sheep raisers
throughout the United States know it.
They would be blind if they did not. We
all can see 1T, irrespective OF partisan bias
"Of course, there is a difference between
the Eastern and Western wool-growers.
The California wool grower, generally
speaking, has 5000 head of sheep, or OO0O
acres of land. He makes it his sole and
exclusive DuslncSS. AH UQe MlQQi6 and
Eastern States, the farmers have 100 head
of sheep, and look upon their raising as
side issue. Here sheep-raising is the only
source of revenue to those engaged in the
industry. 1t can readily be understood
that the tariff IS of much greater import
ance to the California wooI-grower than to
the farmers in the East, who look on their
sheep as source of pin-money. There
had been downward trend in the price of
wool for some time prior to the passage of
the Wilson bill, but when that tariff law
took effect, it hastened the inevitable.
Wool can be grown at profit, it is said,
for 8. 10 or II cents. but the Wilson bill
leaves the grower margin on the wrong
side of the profit line.
'tBut returning to California, l should
think any fair and sound minded man
could see that the tariff is vital TO our in
terests. 1t might be said that in MANY
respects we occupy a position not dissimi-
lar TO that of the United States to the
foreign countries. We are cut off from
the East by distance and from a Western
market by broad expanse of water. The
lack OF railway competition hampers us
still further -

Alarming Facts.

1t is an alarming fact that three-fourths
of the men are lost to all the attributes
which make the strong, brave aid noble
man. They are prematureIy old and dis
eased through excesses or unnatural
strains which sap the fountains of life, de-
stroy the health and strength, and finally
result in physical wreck. These poor VIC
Tins, loaded with disease, remorse and
miliation, silently suffer on, going from
bad to worse, until death closes the sad
scene. Muscular strength and manly
power are both based upon the one condi-
tion, and that condition is health. With
health all the essential organs of the body
are capable of performing their functions
properly, producing mental brightness,
manly vigor ard muscular power. Disease
robs the blood of its richness, tears down
the constitution and destroys the mental
as well as the physical man.

how Wood, while in the employ of Bald

1t is distressing thought to learn from

women of this vast country are suffering
from some chronic ailment, and in most

With that fortitude which only the true
woman possesses, she uncom pl ainingIv
suffers on day after day, yes, year after
year, with the false hope that nature will
some time remedy her trouble and restore
her health. With the great love for beauty
which every woman desires, she, with
paints, powders and lotions, tries in win
to cover up the lines and defects which the
cruel work of disease has wrought in her
once beautiful face. There is but one foun-
datlon for beauty, and that is health.
Health produces a mind teeming with wit

and the plump and welI-rounded form.
