six cents short Of it. Where is Is to l
in that?

There is conspiracy among the
money changers to enslave the produc-
ers Of wealth." said Mr.. Bryan at South
Bend, Ind. That is a demagogue's dog
matism. Bryan does not believe it.
He mouths it because it is supposed to
appeal to passion and prejudice. The
faithful study of the history of our
country to this hour fails to disclose
evidences Of any such conspiracy. In
fact, even an attempt in that direction
could not flourish it could not be Sc
cretive; it would excite such universal
detestation among men as to wither it
in the bud But Bryan went further,
and said: 1T is an International con-
spiracy entered into by men who love
the dollar and the domination Of for
eign nations better than they love their
flag" Now, if this be true, if even Bry-
an believes it to be truo-which he does
not-then the Republican party should
be placed at the helm of State, because
whenever the republic or the rights of
this people have been menaced, from
any direction whatsoever, from domes-
tic or by foreign foes and conspirators,
the Republican party has been called
upon to come to the front and save the
nation and defeat the Vaccinations of
the vicious. It can be trusted to meet
and defeat any and all conspiracies by
foreign powers, home money changers
or international plotters to do injury
to America, her institutions or her peo-
pie.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the
Rapid Increase of Heart
Troubles.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But
Look for the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among
Americans. are certainly increasing,
and while this may be largely due
American business life, it is more
often the result of weak stomachs, of
poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease is in
durable, but not one case in a hun
dred Of heart trouble, is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by
branches Of the same great nerves,
the sympathetic and pneumogastric.
In another way. also. the heart If
affected by that form of poor diges-
ton, which causes gas and fermenta-
ton from half Gigested food; there is
feeling OF oppression and heaviness
in the chest caused by pressure of
the distended stomach on the heart
and lungs. interfering with their &C
ton; hence arises palpitation and
short breath.
Poor digestion alse poisons the
blood, makes it thin and watery,
which irritates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart troubles is to improve the d.
gestion and to insure the prompt as
similstion of food.
This can best be done by the regu-
lar use, after meals, of some safe,
pleasant and effective digestive prep
aration. like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valua-
bic. harmless digestive clements. in
q pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time. will cure any
form of stomach trouble, except can

The state Tax Rate.

Some Of our republican friends ap-
pear to be exercised over the splen
did record for efficiency and economy
in administering state affairs dis.
played by the democratic state Off
cials. This is aptly illustrated by
the indiscreet way in which some OF
the less careful republican political
prophets emphasize their expires sions
OF surprise ut the SO cent tax rate.
and seek to disprove the record Of
democratic economy by insinuating
that the increased tax rate and the
practiced economy do not read well
together. To say the least. this is
indiscreet. These designing croak-
crs should know that the tax rate IL
not fixed by the state officers. but by
the legislature, and rs that body was
strongly republican in both branches.
IL is pertinent to address inquiries
regarding the tax levy to the general
assembly.
The seth general assembly has a
reputation for corruption and ex-
travagsnce that is unsurpassed. The
appropriations made by It aggregate
nearly $4,000. 000-a million dollars
more than those made by its prede-
cessor. IL the appropriations are
large the levy and consequently the
state tax rate will be large. and that
Is just what was the matter with the
recent republican legislature.
Notwithstanding the fact that be-
tween IL and the session of 1898 a
disastrous panic and two drouths
had occurred. greatly distressing the
people. in the republican legislature,
in the one item of legislative en-
ployes, the expenditures jumped
from s6i.?0l in 1898 to S114, 900 in
1895. Scores OF useless officers and
employees we're on the pay rolls at
big salaries, with nothing to do at q
time when taxpayers were sorely
pressed for enough money to pay
their taxes. Indeed. it is notori-
Gus fact that members Of the last
legislature had individuals placed
upon the pay rolls at good salaries
with no other duties to perform but
To black their boots and brush their
clothes, carry their valises to and

forth between the capitol. when at
tending the sessions, and to steer

That is why the tax rate is in
creased. and the less our republican
friends stir up n discussion of the
history Of the seth general assembly,
the better will be their nightly hours
of rest.
