social system in which they squirm, "bus-
mess" is virtually game of chance, and
the business man" is to all intents and
purposes gambler. At this season, just
after election, when the long heralded
advance Agent of Prosperity" has won
the day, that gamblers feature, which
consists in childish devotion to super
stition, has become manifest in our
business man.
Prosperity has been absent for years
and years. 1t had been going further
and further off, and quite recently it took
squirt and leaped back a good deal
further. That this is an inevitable result
of the development of capitalism the
Cuisines man" is blissfully ignorant of.
He does not realize that capitalist con-
centration displaces labor and thereby
starves out the market. He sees an ever
larger store of wealth, and, of course, if
purchasers don't come, he attributes their
absence to dad luck" Of late he has
been ute accustomed to reverses, but
suddenly hope dawned. The campaign
broke in upon him; for months his block
head papers have been DINING it into his
ears that the election of Mckinley was a
sure conjurer of prosperity; open-mouthed
he has during these months been drink
ing in the slopjarfuls of brilliant prom
ises made by his lunkhead politicians,
from Bourke Cochran down to Depew
and Harrison. The advance Agent"
won. "Now," reasons the business man,
prosperity must follow" Accordingly
he has begun to hustle. Commercial
travellers are looking clipper. Shop
keepers polished up their shop brass
knobs, busted their counters, put on a
clean collar, and waited for the big flood
of customers. With Mckinley as gam
bler's hoodoo, they are now all expectant,
con fidently expectant.
But the flood of customers will stay
away, the orders will fall far below ex-
pectations. AS we'll imagine hoodoo
to keep the winter away, as one to keep
off the winter of capitalist misery. Cap
italist misery cannot be hoodooed, it can
only be choked off by choking monopoly
to death.-7He People.

There is more Catarrh in this section O.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease. and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

What the Modern Corporation neans.

To society; to individual produc-
tion it means death; to labor it
means not only deprivation of any
share in the gains of mechanical
progress, but reduced wages in toll
and inevitable loss of employment;
to living as to labor, it means a
deprivation of any share in the
benefits of the worlds progress,
but instead the hardest of terms
imposed by monopoly where before
there was competition. 1t means
alike to labor and to living terms
dictated by absolute power, and
this the power of greed governed
by no principle or consideration of
humanity.

Tuesday, when several of the rooms in

dense smoke. An investigation as to
the cause was made but no reason
could be found. Every room in the
building was examined from cellar to
garnet, al the walls, partitions and
floors We're looked over but no cause
could be found. The smoke continued
to fill the building until way in the
evening, and a close watch was kept
of the entire building. The only
theory is that one of the fiues had be-
come closed and forced the smoke
through the partitions.
