Henry WatterSOn says that IF the
rich manufacturer can go to Congress
and demand legislation i'm the interest
of his business, 50 can the poor agricul
turist, so can the poor mechanic; and
it is here where the evils Of anarchism
took their start and have their fOrtifica.

The foregoing is just about as full of
meaning as the general run of Waiter
sonian pronunciamentos. That is to
say, it is an empty phrase without any
meaning in it at all. Why and how
would the evil Of anarchism take a
start from or find root in letting the
poor aSriculturist or the mechanic ex-
ercisc the right of petition?
1t occurs TO us that plea to lawma-
kcrs for the enactment of law would
have an effect decidedly opposed to
anarchy. Anarchy knows no law and
respects none. \ petitioner, by his very
conduct, manifcsts a regard for cOnsti-

The Question in n Nutshell.
The New York World, which aSpires
to be a money lender and goldbus or
gan, asserts that the grcenback .IuCs-
ton simply is. that it is foolish TO keep
on issuing promises Ito pay something
which you may have to buy at Il pre-
mium.'
Oh. no! that is not the question at all,
as the people understand it. 1t is thai
the government owes the people so
many hundreds of millions of dollars.
which the people lent the government
to carry on the civil war of the sixties;
that the government, by issuing green
backs. saves paying interest on all
these millions. while the greenbacks
serve as money currency for the peO-
pie; and that it would be foolish indeed
to stop issuing these greenbacks with
out interest and to issue. instead. bonds
on which government and people both
would have to pay interest to money
lenders and gOldbugs. That is the
question in Il nutshell.

The Best Remedy for R~heumstIsm.

From the Fairhaven IN. W Register.
Mr.. James Rowland of this village, states
that for twenty-five years his wife has
been a sufferer from rheumatism. A few
nights ago she was in such pain that she
was nearly crazy. She sent Mr.. Rowland
for the doctor, but he had read of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm, and instead of gong
for the physician, he went to the store and
secured a bottle Of it. His wife did not ap-
prove OF Mr.. Rowland's purchase at first,
but nevertheless applied the Balm thor
oughly and in an hours time was able to
go to sleep. She now applies it whenever
she feels an ache or a pain and finds that
1t always gives relief. He says that no
medicine which she had used ever did her
as much good. The % and 80 sent sizes for
