An exchange says If a man had 4 $50
pup, ne would look after it carefully and
not let it run around all over town. But
if be has boy, it is different. The boy
is turned loose at a tender age to 90 to
the devil, and then the people wonder
where all the great army of tramps,
buns, dead beats, loafers and gamblers
come from each decade. They are
terminated from the pure seed gathered
from our homes and sown broadcast up
on our streets and alleys. II may be
that your boy is making good growth
in that direction. At all events the boy
ought to have an equal showing with
the pup. The above is not true in all
instances, by any means, but there are
certainly few cases where preference
is shown the pup.

Conditions of Trade.

All markets and all industries al e
working toward the period of thanks
giving, of stock taking and of holidays.
Colder weather has done much to accel-
crate retail trade, so greatly delayed in
many lines by unusually mild and open
weather. In spite Of this delay, and
the idea that it may render prices more
favorable to buyers, dispatches to-day
from all parts of the West and South
show a large volume of business, and
though fever at the South binders and
stock speculation here does not swell
clealings as it did five years ago, the
payments through clearing houses are
for the month only 1.5 per cent. less
than in 1892, and for the week outside
New York IL per cent. larger. The
producing force increases on the whole,
and many manufacturers are unable to
take all the orders offered, while others
are committed as far ahead as they are
willing to be. The output in several
great industries is considerably the
largest ever known, and confidence in
yet greater business next year is un-
abated. Hesitation in speculative mar
kets is in part because an immense capt.
tai has been turned from them to in
vestment in productive enterprises.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was created for one purpose, and if not
dOCtored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases.
1t is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease
or inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary pas
sage is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble of
some sort The error is easily made
and may be easily avoided. To find out
correctly, set your urine aside for TWEEN
tyfour hours; a sediment of settling in
dictates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mile and the extraordinary effect of Dr.
kilmer's SWamp-Root, the great kidney
ard bladder remedy is soon realized.
If you need amedic1ne you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may nave sample

Business Outlook as Reported BY
Schwartz, Dupee s. Co.
CHICAGO. LIZ. Nov %

CHICAGO. ILL, Nov. %.
Money has seldom been available to
business men at as low rates as are now
current, and this, together with the
favorable political outlook and the salts
factory price of wheat, makes the gen
eral situation most favorable
1t is noticeable that while there has
been a decline in securities which do
not attract investment buyers, dividend
paying stocks-especially those of rail-
roads-are not offered at any sacrifice
by holders. The earnings of grain-carry-
ing roads continue to be phenomenalv
large, and this is an index looked upon
with confidence by the magnates of the
financial world. According to advices
received by Schwartz, Dupee & Co, the
loadings of the Atchison system last
week were the largest III it's history for
a corresponding period, and an official
Of the Rock Island says that road is do
ing business in excess of the most san
guine anticlpations. The Burlington s
earning power is tremendous, and just
now it is being employed to the fullest
extent SO that the showing of each OF
these roads for the current year cannot
but be most gratifying.
In spite Of the predictions of those
who would welcome a decline in the
price of wheat that staple holds we'll
above 80 cents for the near option very
easily, and SO longas the present foreign
demand continues there can be 10 re-
cession OF consequence. On the other
hand, any considerable damage to win
ter wheat must be reflected in quick
advance in all the markets of the world
SO that from the present outlook the
wheat raiser has good prospect of en-
HANGED values for his present holdings
and nothing in sight to produce serious
break. Corn is not so active as wheat,
but is firm at current figures, while if
there has been, as many affirm, an over
estimate Of the crop it will sell higher.

The persiStenCY with which Great
Britain maintains her free-t trade
notions is causing the ruin of some of
hers colonial possessions. Her West
Indian possessions are rich and fertile
tracts. but they are mainly dependent
upon their sugar crop for support, and
now that the beet-sugar industry has
risen to such proportions in Europe,
they cannot successfully compete in
the markets to which they have here
tofore shipped the products of their
cane. Germany has paid an export
bounty on her beet-sugar so that
it has come into ruin0uS competition
with the West Indian cane product.
a moderate duty on beet sugar by
England would give the West Indies
access to that market, and, although
it is clearly understood by the British
that these colonies are bankrupt and
on the verge Of absolute ruin. no
EngliShman will raise his voice in
favor of a slight relaxation of the free
trade idea.

Railroad earnings in August, Sep
TENDER, and October have shown a
large gain in nearly every case over
the corresponding months of last year.
The increase in October earnings was
about S., 000, 600 over that of last year,
while those Of August and September
were even larger, thus justifying the
attitude of the great army Of railroad
employees who last year cast their
votes with the party Of sound money
and protection, irrespective of what
their former party relations had been.
LOW-tariff advocates who were talk
ing about increased prices under the
Dingley law will be grieyed to learn
that the net average Increase in prices
of articles affected by importation is
less than one per cent, while the in
creased earnings of those employed in
the manufacturing industries and in
agriculture, which depends largely uD-
on industrial activity, have been far
greater than that. Protection not
only protects, but incidentally benefits
others quite as much as those directly
protected.

The Treasury receipts this month
will average nearly one million dollars
per day for each business day Of the
month. All Of this is accomplished
under the Dingley law, and without
any material revenue from the duty
on sugar, as the importers are now
using up their large stock Of that arti-
Gle which was imported before the
new law went into effect. 1t is esti-
mated that the revenue from ,he duty
on sugar, when the present stock is ex-
hausted, will average $5,0OO,O00 a
month, which of itself will be sufficient
to bring the revenue UP to a sum equal
to the ordinary expenditures of the
Government. With the increase
which will come from other articles,
such as wool, wooden goods, and other
manufactures, with which the country
had been filled, it is now perfectly ap-
parent that the revenue produced I'M
der this law Will be ample.

Reports from the iron manufacture
ing sections indicate that thousands
OF Workingmen on December 1st will
feel the practical effects Of the adopt
ion of a protective tariff, when wages
are to be advanced ten per cent. among
the operatives of large number Of
furnaces throughout Pennsylvania
and the Ohio Valley. This is the
second step in the developments Of
the adoption of the protective tariff,
the first one being in the increase in
the number of people employed and
that is now to be followed by the in
crease in wages.

The Gravity Of . Growing Lawlsssaess.

II NAV be agreeable to some to think
that Since the lynching at Urbana It
win be impossible to speak OF such q
snirit Of lawlessness as confined to any
one section of the country. We think
that view of it will disappear when the
gravity OF it all is appreciated. The
'JYrbana outrage emphasized the growth
of a contemptuous disregard OF law;
also it's prevalence, even In commune
Tics where we would naturally look for
law abiding people.
One statement advanced as an ex-
cuse for that mob murder was that the
punishment inflicted by law was made
quate. Only a few days later, how
ever. a mob in Maryland took negro
from the court house where he had
lust received the death sentence ana
after torturing him after the manner OF
a band of Apaches hanged him while
the judge of the court elbowed his way
among the mob urging them to desist.
Nor does it relieve the condition to
recall the fact that of 1862 murders
committed in this countryin 1896 but ~
human beings We're executed. Not all
states have the death punishment.
Moreover the lynchings are chiefly of
those who have not committed muir
dar hut tho crime of rape
What means this increasing lawless-
ness? Whence it's stimulus? Are the
penalties for different crimes dispro-
portionate, that those who murder are
seldom hanged by the mob while those
guilty of rape are?

Business Needs Sunshine.

Anyone acquainted with the condi-
pitfalls is aware that protracted stormy
weather has a very depressing effect
upon the patients. those suffering from
melancholia being specially susceptible
to it's influences. When we think that
there very many, not inmates of such
an institution, who are at least ILL
balanced and subject to fits of me-
lancholia, we readily perceive that all
the mischief done by such weather as
that which has afflicted New England
the past two months is not confined to
crops There are few people not af-
fected in some slight degree by the con-
dition of the weather. Just how much all
this has been reflected in business can
only be surmised, for there seems to be
no statistician equal to the emergency
of reducing such effects to calculations
approaching accuracy. There can be
no question, however. but there are
results therefrom and that they have
not been favorable to the restoration

The Currency Question.

A gentleman who has been at work
in the interests of currency legislation
has lately been in Washington and
concludes that while the President
wants a commission appointed to take
the matter under consideration it Is
doubtful if Congress will concur in the
proposition. There is not much reason
to look for any great achievement on
the part of such a commission. 1t is
evident, however, that there is need
of something which shall serve as a
sort of nucleus about which public
sentiment may crystalline. The sub
ject might not be held up in Congress
for so long a time if a commissions should
be able to collect and sfft the views
and assist in the formation of some
definite plan.

tax laws,

The London correspondent of the
New York Sun declares there is no
doubt but that Sir Philip Currie, the
British ambassador. on May % formal
ly notified Tewfik Pasha. the Turkish
minister of foreign affairs, in the pres
enee of the Russian ambassador that
England would not under any circum-
stances consent to the retrocession of
Thessaly to Turkey. If that be true
it would be extremely interesting to
know just what Turkey consents to. If
the Sultan should wish to do this, which
is very doubtful, he would dread the
odium which the step would incur from
the radicals among his subjects, who
have been taught as a part of their re-
ligion not to withdraw from territory
possessed by war. 1t is by no means
absurd to suppose that the Sultan
would almost as soon take the risk of
being driven out of Thessaly as of
withdrawing of his own free will.
