Why is it that the man is old and
decrepid at As, and another hale and
hearty at 80? 1t depends on the care
he takes of himself. Often mans
body gets out of repair the trouble
grows until it lays him out in bed.
Whenever q man feels that he is not as
we'll as he ought to be. whenever he is
listless, without energy and without
vitality, whenever he finds that he
is losing weight and that
his ordinary work gives him undue
fatigue, he needs DR.. Pierce's Golden

working with his liver ina ctive and his

POLITICAL FIGURING.

Assuming that the politicians who
figure up the probable election results
in advance are conscientious men, it
is astonishing that they can promise
such different results. The latest
Democratic figures of this kind claim
thirty-six states and three hundred and
eighteen electoral votes for that party,
while the Republicans, not to be out
done In this style of mathematics,
claim ali the states except three or four
mining ones. Now II is plain that one
or the other is claiming a little too
much, which will induce honest-mind-
ed people to believe that they know
nothing about what they are talking.
Electioneering by dishonest esti-
mates of results is poor policy in a
country like ours. AS a result, the peo-
pie will figure for themselves and they
will see the absurdity OF either party 8
claiming a large majority of states in a
campaign like this with eight presiden-
tial tickets In the field. It is always
safest to decide who has been elected
when the votes are counted, and the
election OF this year will afford no ex-
o. ception to this rule.

ME ADVANCE I'M CoAI..

With the prospect of an unusually
inclement Winter and that many wage
earners will be out OF employment.
comes the unwelcome information that
coal will be higher than ever. There
is no good reason for this. A great
portion Of the United States lays upon
inexhaustible beds Of coal that are
easily mined. There is only one rea-
son for a rise in coal, and that is the
greed of the coal combine. These mo-
nopolists have not even their usual ex-
cuse of strike of the miners. They
propose to have more OF the peoples
money, and right or wrong, they ex-
pect to get it. The output of anthracite
coal in this country. as stated by the
Treasury Department, is simply enor-
nous. It runs from forty-five million
to forty-eight million tons year, all
OF which, sold to the consumer at a
fair profit. would afford an enormous
income.
But the coal combine is not satis-
fed with this. 1t beats its miners
down to the lowest OF living wages
while it demands for itself the
princely profits of monopoly. Just now
it is said it wants an advance of a
dollar and a-half ton. Now, put the
output at the lowest figure Of forty-five
million tons, as given above and we
find that an advance of a dollar and a
half ton means an increase of sixty
seven million, five hundred thousand
dollars year in unfair profits.
Suppose we take this last figure foi
ten year. 1t would reach the enor
nous sum of six hundred and seventy
five million dollars, which is over twic'
the total wages paid in all the Pennsyl
vania industries during the last census
year. Again, in 1894 the gold mines o
the United States produced little les
than forty million dollars, or only two
thirds Of what may be considered tn
unfair profits on coal for single. year
In the same year all the silver mine
OF the country produced sixty-four mil
lion dollars. or three millions less thal

got It to endorse Mckinley and Hobart,
and to adopt the following resolution
In commendation OF the regular Re-
publican ticket: Resolved, There are
three reasons why we should endorse
the regular Republican ticket. First,
they are the bone and sinew of the
party, which was organized in Abra-

of this city and state; third, they al

than that for j. Edward Addicks. Il
