meeting the current expenses OF the
government. The books " the treasury
are said to show that not only has the
entire amount OF United States notes
in existence been redeemed In gold, but
nearly $l25,OOO.Oo0 in excess of that.
In order to do this the government has
been compelled to issue additional
bonds to the amount Of ss62, 100000, and
this has been done without any specific
authority OF law other than that which
says the treasury shall maintain a gold
reserve OF SlO0.OO0,OOO The fact that
over one-half OF the proceeds OF these
bonds has gone Indirectly to supply de-
iiciencies In the revenue. and that this
state Of affairs can be remedied by pro-
viding more revenue. does not alter the
necessity for the retirement Of this
class OF currency; for SO long ms Il re-

CORPORATE ABUSES.

Because the Republican party is in
favor OF protective tariff, 1t does not
follow that II is not opposed 70 trusts
which seek to advance the prices OF ar.
ticles by combining to destroy eompetI-
ton.
1t is the purpose OF protection TO
stimulate domestic production and to
cheaper prices through competition,
while the trusts seek to destroy this
competition through combinations.
During the recent campaign the Pop
ocrats urged that because the Republi-
cans did not believe in free silver and
did not endorse the extreme ideas OF
the DEMO- Populo fusion in regard to
the government ownership OF railroads,
telegraphs etc, but stood boldly by the
principles OF protection. that party is a
friend and defender of trusts.
Such a view is not only narrow, but
absolutely untrue
In the tariff plank OF the Republican
platform adopted at st. Louis last June
the party renews and emphasizes its al
legiance TO the policy OF protection, and
the closing sentence of that plank Is:
In its reasonable application IL is Just.
fair and impartial. equally opposed to
foreign control and domestic monopoly.
to sectional discrimination and indl-
vidual favoritism." Such is the princl-
pie Of protection as believed in by the
Republican party.
The people OF the United States. with
out regard to party. are opposed TO
trusts, monopolies. combinations OF
whatever the name. that seek TO con-
troll production and prices. When
Republican tariff measure is framed 1t
is hoped that its provisions will be such
as will make II impossible for capital to
combine at the expense Of the public.
And right here comes the suggestion
that the new law contain a provision
that when the domestic production Of
an article subject to duty is controlled
in output by a trust or combination,
and this is proved in United States
court. then the duty on the foreign ar
ticle shall be suspended until the do
mestic output is neither restricted nor
its price manipulated by such combina-
ton.
The people look to the Republican
party to right this matter. and that
party cannot. neither will It desire TO
shirk its duty.

Some points of interest are set forth
in the annual report Of the japanese
bureau OF merchant marine. which has
just been received in the United States.
The report discloses the fact that Japan
is making very energetic strides in the
development Of its merchant marine. It
shows that Japan has registered for for
eign trade l09 iron and steel steamships.
Of 231, ,13s gross tons, whereas the United
States has registered for foreign trade
1O3 vessels Of the same kind, Of 226. .50a
gross tons. The Japanese merchant
feet includes III vessels Of over l I,OOC
tons, chiefly steamers of British or Ger
man build. The American merchant
feet on the Pacific coast numbers 11s
vessels Of this size. The chief japanese
steamship line, which has recently
made Seattle one Of its terminal points
owns fifty-one steamers of 2s.OO0 tons
whereas the Pacific Mail line employs
fifteen steamers Of 1900 tons on the
Pacific. Since 1890 twenty shipyards
have been established in Japan, some Of
them Of very large capacity, and the
subsidy Law which went into effect in
October gives shipbuilders a bounty Of
so per gross ton on steel vessels over
1000 tons.

However much room there may be for
honest difference Of opinion as to some
Of the suggestions contained in Mr..
Cleveland's message, no one who has
studied the governments present inan-
cial system will dispute the necessity
which the president plainly shows for
some form Of immediate remedial leg
islatiOn in that connection. As the first
step in the improvement Of the treasury
situation Mr.. Cleveland recommends
the permanent retirement Of the green
backs and Sherman notes, and while
there may be some opposition to this
plan at first there is reason to believe
enough Of the leading men of both par
ties are already agreed upon the ulti-
mate Importance of such action to en-
sure its accomplishment. While these
outstanding gold demand obligations
exist the treasury will be liable to the
same embarrassment that II has under
gone in the past Nearly $3.50. .OOO,0 900 Of
United States notes are still outstand-
ing. When the resumption act of 1879
went into effect the government ac-
eumulated by the sale Of bonds, nearly
S1OO,OOO0OO in gold in order to pay
these notes as they might be presented.
The weak point in the resumption act
was that 1t provided for the paying out
Of these notes, as fast as redeemed, in

the blood will be full Of them Instead
OF giving strength to the tissues, It
will force upon them innutritious mat

more susceptible he is to disease. DR..

the only medicine that absolutely and
infallibly cures all blood diseases. and
almost all diseases are blood diseases.

impurities with rich, red blood.

After meals you should have simply
a feeling Of comfort and satisfaction.
You should not feel any special indica-
tions that digestion is going on. If you
do, you have indigestion, which means
not-digestion. This may be the begin
ming Of so many dangerous diseases.
that it is best to take it in hand at
once and treat it with Shaker Digestive
Cordial. For you know that Indigestion
makes poison, which causes pain and
sickness. And that Shaker Digestive
Cordial helps digestion and cures in
digestion. Shaker Digestive Cordial
does this by providing the digestive
materials in which the sick stomach is
wanting. 1t also tones up and strength
