homes, there Is beside mora than ope-
third OF a million more that are an
nually entering into competition with
our people. Al the same time, machin-
cry 10 being improved every year,
through which the labor Of men Is more
and more taken from their arms and
put upon arms Of steel, and all this IS
driving forward with irresistible mo-
mentum, and II seems 10 us that every
statesman in the country, ever thought.
full man, even II he Is not q statesman,
ought to see that unless some provision
can be made for the r.ceasing
stream; II 1t is ever permitted to be
clogged, and, like a river, to turn out
of It's banks, the same result will come
to society that comes to the river banks
when the waters turn back and COM
mence their destruction on the sur
rounding country.
This is just the time great works
ought to be pushed; when the treasury
should be flooded with money; when
our nation should be stretching out TO
take ps session Of the great commerce
of the Pacific, and to have q fair share
ofthe commerce of the Atlantic, enough
at least to carry away our exports, If
not to bring IN imports; when new
fields should be opened to u people
in The country to the south, which can
only be done by establishing there
American influence and American
trade; and inasmuch as money is the
great moving force which handles the
worlds traffic, which gives prestige to
nations, and inasmuch as in our hills
and deserts there is hidden all that is
needed in that respect, that our own
people do not have the sense to utilize
their gifts is the marvel Of the world j.
One would think they would do SO for
The sake OF the expansion. Anyone who
stops to think must see that 1t is necesss.
ry to do it lest there be a choking up OF
the working forces Of this nation
through a limitation Of the fields Of
labor, until desperate men will do here
what they have always done, find an
outlet for their energies through ille-
Ultimate channels, when legitimate
channels are closed.

ELSEWHERE in this issue of the paper
appears an article from the pen of Hon.
George H. Wallace, addressed to the
wool grower. Mr.. Wallace has made
the study of the wool tariff his business
for a number of years, and is probably
the best posted man on the subject in
New Mexico. He is also a candidate
for governor Of the Territory, and the
people can rest assured if he is named
for that place he will give the iDdus-
trial interests of the Territory deserved
attention. This cannot be said of GER
tain other candidates for that office
who know nothing but politics and
rotten politics at that.

A mans health is the rope

YOUR TIRED STOMACH.

" have no appetite" you say, 'and the
little l do cat does me no good. At first it
feels cold and dead in my stomach and by
and by have aches and pains that some
times go to my chest and back. l feel weak,
low spirited and out of sorts all over l
fancy the demon Of dyspepsia has got me-"
That's the way you talk and no wonder.
But wait moment. Let us reason together.
Perhaps thus far your stomach is merely
tired. You have been eating too much,
eating the wrong things, and irregulary.
You have given it too much to do, and like
all living thing, when overworked it stops at
length from sheer exhaustion. There may
not he an actually diseased condition as yet.
Still it is natures warning, and you must
heed IL or worse will follow. But must
eat or starve," you say. True enough, but
safety usually lies in middle courses. Here is
one for you. You don't need drastic purges
or exciting stimulants. Your condition is
one easily relieved if we go about it gently
and sensibly The tired stomach won't work
under whip and spur. 1t has probably had
too much of that already. What you require
is something that is at once a food and a
dgester of food. Such an article is the
Shaker Digestive Cordial, discovered and pre-
pared by the Shaker Community of Mt
Lebanon, n. Y. Taken right after eating, Sc
as to mix with the food, it does the stomach S
work for it, gives it the advantage of further
rest, strengthens you in a natural way, and
soon enables the stomach TO do full duty
There is nothing else like this simple, safe
certain and palatable remedy. Yet the
Shakers respect your doubts and authorize
druggists to sell trial bottle for ten cents.

Charley strong's Pluoky Fight.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Charley Strong,
the plucky colored boxer of Newark, NJ j.,
fought gamely for nineteen rounds against
big Bob Armstrong of Chicago, at the
Broadway Athletic club last night before
the big fellow succeeded in landing left
swing which knocked the smaller man TO
the floor of the ring and the referee counted
him out. Strong's work was very clever,
as he was outclassed in height, weight and
reach. Armstrong looked as big as a giant
In comparison with the Jerseyman, and
tho result might have been different If
strong were n few inches taller.
