LEAD
IS STRICTLY PURE,

The Carter White Lead Company
stands ready at any and all times by
practical tests to prove that the Carter
Lead Will cover one-fourth more sur
face, and do it better, than any br1rd of
lead manufactured by what is known as
the old Dutch Process. and also to prove
Its superiority in body wilderness and
durability.
We invite practical painters to make
independent tests by carefully measuring
surface and weighing the leods to be
tested and then comparing results,
which will IN every instance prove that
Carter Lead will cover one
fourth more surface
The superiority of Carter Lead is due
to improved methods and the putting
into use the very latest machinery by
which perfect corrosion is obtained,
and, consequently, when you purchase
key of Carter Lead you get keg of
Lead that is perfectly corroded.
A key of Carter White Lead is

Argus-Loador
The price argument was a favorite
one with the silverites last fall. II
was the gold standard which made
"eigat cent oats" and 'forty cent
wheat and the populists orators
rang the charges until thousands Of
people began to believe that better
prices could I'VE be expected until
the people arose and smote the gold
standard, hip and thigh. But these
statesmen are not making the price
argument these days. Wheat is 80
cents a bushel higher than last sum-
mer. The price of oats has doubled.
Corn has increased in price. Hogs
are 80 cents a hundred higher than
a year ago, and the average weight
of a marketed hog is $40 pounds, the
increased price this year over last is
over 81 per hog: Cattle are from so
to 60 cents a hundred higher. Wool
is from four to five cents per pound
higher. Almost without exception
agricultural products have increased
in price over last year, and the sill
verites are excessively anxious to
drop the price argument as they are
the contention that the prices Of silv-
er and wheat rise and fall together
in response to immutable economic
law which apparently has of late
been repealed. Some of the stock
arguments of the silverites read very
funny now-but none more than the
ones just noted.

"Teg." made two phenomenal catches
at short stop.

throw to first.
Louie Ochseareiter was a model first
baseman and also served a~cceptably be-

turn at the bat once, because he had
been put out once, he said,

Between the time when Major

these things among others have
happened
1.-The tariff question has been
removed from politics. The pledge
of the party which nominated Nc
Kinley that it would give the
country a squarely protective tariff
as . settlement of the question, and
thus give the country rest, has been
honestly redeemed.
2.-The administration during
these five months has organized for
four years. The president has met
and sustained the tremendous strain
consequent upon the Legitimate COM
petition for Office. He has made
most of the principal appointments
m a manner generally satisfactory
to citizens of all parties /; and what
is to be especially noted about this,
he has preserved harmonious re.
Iations with the members of his party

3.-The administration has defin.

In winning for his administration
