Reciprocity With Other Nations,

We believe the repeal Of the rect
procity arrangements negotiated by the
last Republican administration was n
national calamity. and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as VIII equalize our trade with
other nations, remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale OF Amer
lean products In the ports OF other
countries and secure the enlarged mar
kets Of our farms, forests and factories
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures Of Republican policy, and go
hand in hand. Democratic rule has
recklessly struck down both. and both
must be re-establlshed. Protection for
what we produce, free admission for
the necessaries OF life which we don't
produce, reciprocal agreements Of mu-
tual interest which gain open markets
for us in return for our open market TO
others. Protection builds up domestic
industry and trade and secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus

SUFFERING FOR \ LIFE TIME.

Persons afflicted with rheumatism Of
ten suffer for life time, their tortures
being almost without remission The
joints and muscles Of such unfortu-
yates are in most cases shuckingIy con
torted and drawn out of shape. To
afford them even temporary relief, the
ordinary remedies often prove utterly
useless. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
on the other hand, is ayouched by per-
sons who have used it to be a genuine
source Of relief. 1t keeps the blood cool
by promoting a regular habit Of body,
and removes from ii impurities which,
in the opinion of all rational pathOlo-
gists, originate this agOnizing COM
plant, and its kindred malady, the
gout Besides this, the Bitters remedy
disorders Of the liver, stomach and
nerves, prevent and eradicate intermit-
tent fevers, promote appetite and
sleep and are highly recommended by
physicians as a desirable medicinal
stimulent and tonic.

and good offices to restore peace and
give independence to the island.

Some information of interest regard
ing the efforts made by the treasury
department to force the silver dollar
into circulation is given in recent
Washington advices. A department Of
fetal with whom an interview has
the department has treated these coins
more generously than any other form
Of money ever issued by the govern
ment, and has offered unusual induce
ments for their use in business trans
actions, but that experience has shown
that, except in special cases. the peo-
pie will never take the dollar of our
daddies" when they can get its paper
representative or other currency equal
ly as good. The total standard silver
dollars coined up to the first inst num-
ber 431, $3.50 OF this number 379,S52,-
244 are lying idle in the valuts Of the
treasury and 51,999,797 are in circula-
ton. The largest amount Of these dol
lars ever in actual circulation has va
ried between so, 200, 900 and $4,000, 900 and
has never fallen below the latter fig
pre- To main this circulation the gov
ernment pays all express charges of
transportation on all the silver dollars
it sends out. There is no other kind
Of money that is similarly shipped to
individuals at the entire expense Of
the government, with the insignificant
exception of nickels and cents when
forwarded direct from the mints. The
amount Of silver dollars shipped each
year varies from 25,OOO,OOO to 3O,0OOOOO,
at a cost to the government of about
$4,000 a year. This expense is crit
icized by some as a tax upon the peO-
pie at large for the benefit mainly Of
bankers, who when they need money
of small denominations in the move
ment Of crops or other large trade Op-
eratiOns, call on the treasury depart
ment for silver dollars in order TO avoid
the express charges that would accrue
on the shipments Of other kinds Of
money. It is also asserted that some
bankers also get the dollars in large
amounts in order to use them in meet |
ing their bills. Even this practice does
not suffice to keep the silver in the
hands of the people, however, and it |
soon gets back into the treasury in ex-
change for the more convenient paper |

why? Because it would throw Ameri-

money changers would derive perpet-
