Starving Cretans,

ATHENS, March 3l.-The Cretan
refugees who have arrived here have
made an appeal to the heads of the
European states praying in the name
of humanity that the blockade of the
Cretan ports by the warships of the
powers be raised in order that supplies
of food may be admitted to the island,
thus averting the threatened famine in
Crete. The Red Cross Society has
made an international appeal for aid
for the inhabitants of the island,

If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source it would lead back to our kitch-
ems. In fact, the secret of good health
is good cooking. If we'll cooked, foods
are partially digested; il poorly cook
ed, they are less digestible than in their
raw state. If you are victim of faulty
cooking; that is, if you suffer from Dys-
pepsia, the rational cure rnust be look
ed for in an artifcially digested food,
and food which will at the same time
aid the digestion of other foods. Such
a preparation virtually rests the tired
digestive organs, thereby restoring
them to their natural strength,
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared
by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is
just such preparation, and single 10
cent bottle will convince you of its
value. If your druggist doesn't keep
it, he will be glad to get it through his
wholesale house.

that city division terminal he was
unable to recommend further considera

The billy nature of the ground along

St. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 26. 1896.
To this the Globe replies that it
',erer pretended that the election of McKin-
leg ecould bring good times. Holy Smoke6
The Globe says:
IF there are any whose course was
determined in the last campaign, as
we doubt not there were millions, by
belief in the nonsense about Nc
Kinley being the advance Agent of
Prosperity" it is all right for them to
repent in sack-clOth and ashes. We
did not belong to that school, and our
record is clear. The power of any po-
litical party or any set of laws to
of things in the United States, to
make wheat 81 bushel. or to break
down in any way the effect of modern
competition all over the world, does
not exist. We can make our situation
very much worse than it is by foOling
with cheap money and other nOstrumS
offered to us by politicians seeking for
Office. We can improve our condition
only by abolishing favoritism in legis-
latiOn, ceasing to tax one man for the
benefit of another, placing monopolies
subject to the strong arm of the law,
and then going sturdily to work to
mend our own fortunes. Less politics
and more business is what this coun-
try needs great deal more than it
does an American financial policy or
any other policy whatever"
The excuse is worse than the lie. 1t
simply means that a people will be as
prosperous, under the worst kind of
government, as they are under the
wisest administration Of the laws. 1t
might just as we'll be argued that the
ministrations Of an ignorant quack
are just as good for the sick man as
the wise science of the most learned
physician. That is idiocy gone crazy.

THE TARIFF.

Bryan Tyson, of Ollie, N. c., has this
to say touching the Tariff questions:
The Dem ocratic platform had
weak tariff plank. while the Peoples
Party platform ignored the question
altogether. Under the Mckinley bill
We had an average tariff Of 1orty-
seven per cent, that yielded $3.50. 0OO,-
900.
The Wilson bill (Dem.) reduced said
tariff to an average of forty-One per
cent, and yielded about $4,000, 900.
There is practically but little differ
cnce between the two tariffs. except
that the Wilson bill placed iron, coal,
lumber and wool on the free list,
1t would seem that an average OF
forty one per cent is sufficiently high
for protective tariff. If not add an
other six per cent and call it prOtec-
tive tariff. Place also proper tariff
on the four articles above enumer-
ated. and also include Herewith any
article now on tile free list that will
bear a reasonable tariff. Group all
under the general heading of pfotec-
tive tariff, aud IL the forty.seven per
centis not sufficiently high, raise 1t
still higher until we have a generally
acknowledged thoroughly protective

1t was of course an insult to the

THE STRUGGLE IN WALES.

New York, Jan. "A special to the
Evening Post from London says:
Wales has become this week the scene
Of most interesting struggle OF labor
against the uttermost rights of prop
erty. Not deferred by the victory of
trade unionism over the London and
Northwestern railway, Lord Penrhyn
pettishly shut down his slate quarries.
rather than, as he says, establish a
precedent for outside interference
with such private affairs"
He first dismissed II men because
they formed committee to secure
better conditions Of labor, whereupon
2,7OO men left work. The board of
trade, under the voluntary concilia-
tion act, offered friendly mediation
but Lord Penrhyn declined angrily
and closed the quarry, throwing 5000
men out of work in the depth Of win
ter. This defiance Of parliament
probably will lead to an attempt, next
session, to pass law compelling en-
ployers to accept the mediation of the
governments The progress of public
opinion on labor questions is shown by
the fact that Lord Penrhyn is almost
without support in the press. The
Chronicle today opens national fund
for the defense of the right to com.
bine.
There would seem to be more hope
of progress in the British Islands than
in the United States. They have no
written constitution, with horde of
foxey, corporation.owned lawyers and
judges, to forge shackles for the limbs
of liberty out of every paragraph Of
it.
It,seems horrible that human law
should permit one man to make 5000
starve: while the starving 5000 are
taxed to preserve peace and protect
the lordling who is starving them.
Remove the shield of law and the
5000 would tear the one into inch
bits; and yet it is the people who are
supposed to make the law.
When will the Lord bare the ter
rOrs of his right arm and crush the
few who make the many suffer?

He now declares himself in favor OF
silver and gold, and intimates that if
international agreement will not give
us free silver he will favor the United
States going it alone! Here is an ex-
tract from an, interview with him in
the Minneapolis Tribune:
''There may be some who doubt it,
but l want to tell the people of Min.
neapolis, whether they were for silver
or for gold, that the Republican party

the single gold standard advocates,
and in my opinion the people of this
country are largely in favor of genuine
and honest bimetallism. The frs t
thing which can be done in this coun-
try is the appointment Of commits
sion in which the silver men and the
honest bimetallists, who are not mere
partisans, but sincere patriots, will
have confidence. A plan is now being
matured in Congress to have such a
commission created, and the bill ap-
proved by Mr.. Cleveland, leaving the
appointment of the members to the
new president. l think it may be
the president and Congress are agreed
upon the general proposition and it
would be not only courtesy, but good
policy, to allow the administration

commission to have the opportunity
to appoint it.

4 HOSTILE SPIRIT.

The Penny Press pretends to be
friendly to the Farmers Alliance but
stabs it in the back thusly:
Forty delegates presented their Gre
dentialS yesterday at Assembly Hall,
st. Paul, for the first dayss session Of
the annual convention of the Mime
sofa Farmers Alliance. President j,
l.. Vermilya was in the chair and in
making few brief remarks he touch
ed upon the fact that the attendance
would have been much larger had not
the recent snow blockade delayed
them. Ignatius Donnelly made an
address in which he acknowledged the
gradual downfall of the Alliance but
argued that the Peoples Party, COM
ing in as it did like thief IN the night,
had stolen all Of the Alliance thunder
and scalked off aoih the plams The
Southern Alliance had gone beyond
their Northern brethren, and had es-
tablished an insurance branch. thus
making themselves prosperous and in
dependent. He advocated consoli-
dation between the North and South.
and urged all to keep a'cay from those
bad Peoples Party tellers' At the
afternoon session the committee on
resolution presented its report, which
was adopted unanimously.
What is the use of lying that way?
All who heard us will ties tify that we
never spoke of the Peoples Party as
stealing our thunder 'like thief in
the night" and we never advised the
Alliances to keep away from those
bad Peoples Party fellers,
We explained the diminished lack
of interest, in the Alliance work, by
the transfer OF interest to the Peo-
ple's Party. Before that party was
born, We said, the farmers used the
Alliance as a political instrument to
reform abuses; but after it was born
some Of them thought that there was
no longer necessity for the Alliance;
but we went on to show that the
work Of political party, acting once
in two years. was very different from
that OF non-partisan, social associa-
ton, meeting every month, to discuss
the grievances Of the agricultural
class.
We expect Misrepresentation from
the old party papers, but we should
not receive it from free-silver or
gan. We hope Mr.. herland will
talk to his scribblers, and extract their
pOison-fangS.

THE CHAMPION LIAR.
HE TELLS THE TRUTH.

Charles A. Dana, of the New York
Sun (gold-bug). is In the confessional,
and the election being over and no
further necessity to lie, he lets out
little truth:
Only the ignorant and a few pre-
varicators continue to speak of the
government being in the banking
business because it issues notes.
Issuing notes is not banking; it is
commonly function of government.
Instead of the government being in
the banking business. the note-issuing
banks may be said to be in the gov
eminent business.
Regarding the issue Of paper money,
it would be much wiser to turn the
banks out of the government business
than to turn cut the government it.
self.
Take the fly off the wheel. Don't
throw the wheel away.
Thus one by one the deceitful cries
of the late election disappear. A new
lot will be trumpet up for the next
contest, and new generation of fools
will swallow them.
