COIN AND THE SENATORS,
The Author of the Financial School on the
Loud Bill.

Washington, January l6.-A sub-com-
offices and post roads had an interesting
hearing today on the Loud postal bill,
which among other things raises very
materially the rate of postage on serial
publications.
A delegation from Maine against the
bill, under misunderstanding that the
committee would not meet today, left
the city but will be heard at another
time.
The statement Of ". FL. (Coih) Harvey
of Chicago brought out humorous refer
ences to the recent campaign and dis

practical business proposition, it would

metropolitan newspaper, for it took enor-
nous capital to publish paper; the PAM
phlefter could circulate his ideas at the
expense of few hundred dollars. The
French novel had been condemned; it
was not more trashy than the average
Sunday newspaper. Harvey spoke of
cheap postage as being large factor in
the education of the people. They were
able to study economic questions in
which they were interested. He referred
to the circulation of 300, 900 copies of q
book recently written by himself, a cir
culation that possibly could not have
been affirmed with higher postage. He
warned the com mittse we were entering
upon times that threatened the life of the
country.
IT thought we saved the country last
fall,'' observed Senator Chandler.
Mr.. Harvey was proceeding to tell the
cost of publishing "Coin's Financial
School" and what it cost the purchaser
when Mr.. Chandler again remarked:
sob, yes, ! bought one for twenty-five
cents, and I guess I got twenty-five
cents worth out of it,
Mr.. Harvey contended that the govern
ment paid the railroads too much for
carrying the mails. It now paid S32, 900,
900 year and this might, he said, be
out one half. The rate now paid was
equivalent to $40 ton, which was more
than paid for freight. and after all mail
matter was nothing moro than fast
freight. The spirit behind the Loud bill

Augusta and tho Loud Bill.

Augusta, January 16.-The publisher
in Augusta who issue large editions OF
monthly story papers argue that the SEQ
ton of the Loud bill curtailing the un
limited privilege of sending Mt second
class postage rates would cause a great
loss to the post Office department. They
say that the addresses to which they send
sample copies are secured from borrowed
letters ordering just such goods as their
advertising patrons offer and that conse-
quently the placing of tie advertisements
which they carry before the people who
are purchasers of such goods adds much
to the registered letter and N oney order
receipts of the post office department..

reasonable to believe that Senator

In the farming districts, where the

After meals you should have simply
a feeling of comfort and satisfaction.
You should not feel any special indi-
cations that digestion is going on. If
you do, you have indigestion, which
means not-digestion. This may be the
beginning Of so many dangerous dis
eases, that it is best to take it in hand
at once and treat 1t with Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial. For you know that
indigestion makes poison, which causes
pain and sickness. And that Shaker
Digestive Cordial helps digestion and
cures indigestion. Shaker Digestive
Cordial does this by providing the di-
gestive materials in which the sick
stomach is wanting. 1t also tones up
and strengthens the digestive organs
and makes them perfectly healthy
This is the rationale of its method OF
cures, as the doctors would say. Sold
by druggists, price 10 cents to $l.0C
per bottle.
