LABOR MUST
BE EMPLOYED.
WHY PRODUCTS ARE Low.
1t Is Because the Shops Are
Closed and Labor ldle-Men
Must Earn Money In Or
der to Buy Literally.

Major Mckinley correctly argues that u
law which closes our shops and factories
and makes labor idle reduces home con-
sumption of farm products and naturally
reduces prices Mr.. Edward Atkinson, a
student of the causes of depression, quite
agrees in this. He says:
"There are now "a 600 600 men, women
and children occupied for gain in all the
arts on which life depends. If constructive
enterprise is paralyzeG, as it has been, and
only per cent are idle that means l, 300,
900 men out of work and nearly 1000, 600
people suffering want, while the food they
would consume chokes the farms with un-
salable products. If 10 per cent are idle,
2,400, 000 need work, and 1900, 900 people
suffer want, while the food rots and wastes
in the farmers bins "
But additional evidence shows how
free trade tariff operates to injure the farm
er. Our consumption of wheat has been
as follows:
Per capita Bushels.
le9O wv
1894 5.4l
1895 .......................... 45i
7.05
This shows (795 divided by % that our
average per capita consumption Of wheat
in 1894 and 1895 was trille under four
bushels, This was 33 per cent below
the per capita home consumption in 1890,
when times were good
With cheap wheat abroad, it is always of
prime Importance that we maintain by
legislation among our own people the
highest consuming power and to do tins
labor must be employed
Men must earn money in order to buy
liborally The wheels of industry in every
direction must be kept in motion, and they
cannot be kept in motion under a tariff
that shuts our workshops and invites goods
from abroad

Beware
 Of Mercury!

Whenever a doctor is called upon to treat a blood disease, the result nine times out of ten is that the treatment IS worse than the disease, and in a short while the patient finds his condition far worse than it was at first. The reason of this is that notwith- standing the great progress made in surgery, and in some branches of med icine, the doctors have failed absolute ly to discover a cure for blood diseases. Whether in the form of pill, powder oi liquid, their treatment is always the same potash and mercury which temporarily dry up the poison in the system and no sooner has it taken on the full effects of these powerful drugs. than that suppleness and elasticity of the joints give way to stiffness. fol- lowed by the racking pains of rheu- matism. Then follows loss of hair and finger nails, and even decay of the bones-a condition most horrible.
 Mir. Henry Roth. of lS+S South Ninth street, St. Louis, Mo, was victim of contagious blood poison-that worst form of blood disease, which has always baffied the doctors. He was treated by physician. and in due time pro

A half grown dirty kitten which nobody had ever seen before came in unGer the screen door, and twisting and purring around ,he room iOr Ave minutes finHlly went behind the table and jumped upon tn. dealers lap.

THE gold bugs .ell us that i; would be Q terrible shame i, ihe miner were to present 50 cenis worth of silver tn the treasury and receive dollar for ii. Next they will tell us that, with free coinage, ihe dollar would be worth only 50 cents. Ire inconsistency Of these two propositions mus, be appsr- ent to the dullest mind: but the de- duction Is, simply and inevitably, that the miner would not be benefited a: all. except to the extent that tine re- stored function enhanced the value of ailver. Then for the further comfort o! these gentlemen 1t should be borne in mind that as gold and eilTs, are very commonly joint Produc'--uni,ec in the VI dlock of bsture-the miner would suffer from the deprecistion Of gold which would follow the lose of it's monopoly as standard money.-He!- ena Herald.
