How the Devil Made the BILLS.

The existence of hills and mount
aims is accounted for in legendary
lore in this wise: When the Lord was
about to fashion the face of the earth,
he ordered the devil to dive into the
watery depths and bring up his hands
full of the earth he might find at the
bottom. The devil obeyed. but when
he filled his hands he filled his mouth
also. The Lord took the soil and
sprinkled it around, and the earth APP
peared, but was perfectly fiat. The
devil, who still had his mouth full OF
earth, looked on for some time in
silence. At, last he tried to speak,
but choked and fled in terror. After
him followed the two demons, thunder
and lightning, and SO he rushed about
over the face of the earth, splitting
earth as he went, each portion of the
earth forming itself into hill. Wher-
ever he took a violent fit of coughing
and splitting sky cleaving mountains
leaped into view.--.& LoUiS RebnbHe

How to Prevent Pneumonia

At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and if let to run its
course without the aid Of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease, pneumonia. We
know of no better remedy to cure a
cough or cold than Cham berlain's Coul h
Remedy. We have used it quite ex-
tens,sely and it has always given entire
satisfaction. -Oolagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.

to be a certain preventive of pneumonia.

The American consumer bears the
heft of the Dingley iniQuity and it was
intended by the trainers Of that bill
that he should. The theory and plan
upon which the measure was built was
that the trusts who had aided the
grand old party OF high tariff robbery
TO get back 10 power by yielding up
their money freely in the last cam
paign. were to be allowed to reimburse
themselves mt viii by putting their
hands into the pockets Of the Ameri-
can consumer and taking all they could
get. The Arrangement was carried out
to the letter all along the line, and
even thus early in the life of the Ding
ley bin prices OF all the necesSaries
are going mp WITHOUT the least promise
of an increase in the income Of vase
Gamers. New York SrCcers have ad-
vanced the price of sugar siX-tenths of
a cent per pound This is just start
en- FROM this increase the Sugar
Trust will reap q reward Of S25,OOG.O00,
as the Dlngley bin intended it should.
There has also been an advance OF
from 10 TO 20 per cent. on all wooden
goods. The new law has caused an
advance in the price Of hides, and an
increase in the cost of boots and shoes
from so to so cents a pair VIII follow.
In brief. an advance soon Of prices all
along the line may be confidently
looked for.
The upholders o fthe Dinsley bill
cannot deny the facts Of increasing
prices. and they try TO justify the
measure and the party's action in i'm
posing it upon an already overtaxed
nation by contending that it WI ulti-
mately result in raising the wage scale
by the Bare fierce of the necessities Of
wage earDeTs, and also in multiplying
the opportunities for employment
This is the veriest ROT. The Mckinley
bin did not raise vases or increase
labor's opportunities. On the con-
trary, the industrial history Of that
brief period shows shat wagF deereas-

outs and labor disturbances occurred

ing any other corresponding time in
the nations history. Under the Nc
Kinley law. which was not as bad as
the Dingley bill. the conditions were
formed which resulted in the panic Of
1898. 9
The sole and only business purpose
Of trusts is to control production by
smothering competition. The rates Of
the Mckinley bill were on an average
10 per cent. lower than the rates Of the
Dingley bill. The latter measure will
be proportionately a greater trust
breeder. There is no sentiment in
business. II will embrace its oppor-
tanity to cheaper its operations and
increase its profits. This means an
era Of artifcially higher prices during
the life of the Dingley bill than were
ever known in this country in times
of peace and when all of the productive
energies Of the nation were vigorous
and eager TO be allowed full sway.

causes of Republican defeat under the

''it was the women shoppers who did
it." When the American people again

that the dsncit is dne to the reckless
use Of public funds.
The amount paid out OF the treasury
last month exceeds by $SO0O.OOO the
amount paid out during July of last
year. This excess represents the diff
ferent between Republican govern
ment and Democratic government In
other words. Republican government
costs SS.OO0,OOO more a month than
Democratic government.
One Of the items Of extra cost was
contained in the pension account Pen
sion payments for the month just pass
ed aggregated nearly S15,0OO,OG0, al
most 100000 in excess Of the
amount paid in pensions during the
corresponding month last year. When
the pension lists reached the thirty
million mark in the early part of
Grants second administration he
apologized for the amount and pre-
dicted that from that year on the pen
sion account would decrease. A few
years afterward Samuel J. Randall, as
chairman Of the Appropriations Com
mittee. submitted bill to the House
carrying less than S45,O0O.0OO in pen
sions and explained that the commit
tee believed the high-water mark in
pensions had been reached. Instead Of
decreasing. the amount paid in pen
sions every year since has increased
and this year the prodigious sum of
S141.OOO.OOO was appropriated by the
Republican Congress. This exceeds
the total cost of any OF the various
huge standing armies of war-scared
Europe It is more than enough 10
equip and put in the field an army
strong enough to successfully cope
with any Of the finely organized and
terrible war engines Of Europe on land
or sea. Tho absurdity of such extray-
agance is too obvious to require anaIy-
sis. Where or when it will stop no
man preJeHds to know. Certainly
there is no hope Of checking it as long
as The Republicans hold the purse
strings.

Men who were incapacitated Cor self
support in saving the Union deserve

Even If an of the more than 2.UOO.O QUO
Of men who fought for the Unicn were
alive and entitled to pensions. under a
srict and honest Interpretation the
amount would not be much greater
than it now is. Indeed, it probably
would not be as large if rigid honesty
were applied TO the question Of pen
sio-s. The laws have been so loosely
and dishonesty administered that the
cost Of pensions constantly swells when
there should be a steady decrease.
