laims to be a Benefactor to Weakened
Mankind.
There Is always more or Tess suspicion
ttached to anything that is offered free
but sometimes a man so OverhOWs with
generosity that he cannot rest until his
iscovery is known to the world, in order
that his fellow men may profit by what
he has discovered. 1t is upon this princi-
lie that resident Of Kalamazoo, Mich,
desires to send free to mankind pre-
scription which will cure them of any
orp of nervous debility; relieves them of
II the doubt and uncertainty which such
men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigor. AS
it costs nothing to try the experiment it
ould seem that any man, suffering with
the nervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize what
might be the final result, ought to be
-eply interested in a remedy which will
restore them to health, strength and
igor, without which they continue to live
an existence Of untold misery. AS the
remedy lin question was the result of
1any years research as to what combina-
ton would be peculiarly effective in re-
toring to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering with
any form of nervous weakness ought to
write for such a remedy at once. A re-
.uest to FL. G. Odds, Box 1922, Kalama-
Mich, stating that you are not send
ng for the prescription out Of idle Curl
osity, but that you wish to make use of
the medicine by giving it a trial, will be
answered promptly and without evidence

The prescription is sent free and al
hough some may wonder how Mr.. Odds
can affora to give away his discovery,
there Is no doubt about the offer being
genuine. Gut is out and send to Mr..
dds that he may know how you came to
write him. ~

DUN e. co.'s. REVIEW.

New York, July Or. q. Dun and
Company's weekly review of trade to-
morrow will say:
The strike of bituminous coal miners
has taken $4,000 men or more from
work and threatens to restrict supplies
fuel in some quarters, though the West
Virginia and some other mines which
declined to take part, claim to be able
to meet the eastern demand for some
months. At the west the strike is by
no means unitedly sustained and the i'm
preston prevails that it will not last
long. The tin plate works have settled
the wage question and are again busy,
and show production of 1850. 900 boxes
yearly, with capacity of $3.50, 900 box
es. The bar mills have more trouble
but "a general settlement of iron and
steel wages is expected without much
delay. New orders are small since the
annual vacation began, but yet are large
enough, the season considered to afford
some encouragement. Tin is stronger at
141O cents without concessions and
copper with a large export demand, at
Hip cents for lake, while in lead, sales
of 1000 tons or more leave the price
about 3. cents.
| The cotton mills have a steady End
increasing demand and the quotation of
mddling uplands have been advanced a
sixteenth, aided by speculative strength
on reports of damage to the crop, especial
ly in Texas and Arkansas. The wooden
mills are getting decidedly more orders
for fall wants and beginning hopefully
ON spring goods, but are cautious in con-
tracts for future delivery Some have
made large purchases of wool, but by
far the greater part of the sales, which
amounted to 14,120,500 pounds at the
three chief markets for the week, have
been of speculative character. Western
prices are held much above those of
sea aboard markets, Montana secured be-
ing sold according to reports at the equi-
valent Of AZ cents at the east against 81
at Boston and 40 at Philadelphia. There
is better demand for domestic wool in
expectation Of higher prices.
While the most cautious estimates Of
wheat yield have been advanced, that Of
the Orange Judd Farmer to SIS, 900
prices have been lifted nearly 81 cent
high, although Atlantic exports, flour
included, were for the week 1903, 953
bushels, against 1,418,336 last year.
Western receipts are small only 1,394,
632 bushels, against 1913, 400 last year
and the disposition of farmers to hold
for higher figures is strengthened by
many foreign reports. It seems to be the
fact that crops in other countries are
less promising than usual and the de-
mand for American wheat is supple
mented even at this season by exports of
2,6O5, 594 bushels, corn against 530,61O
bushels for the same week last year.
Each week raises the estimate of wheat
yield, however, and if the weather con-
tinues favorable, the crop may prove
a most important factor in the future
of national and international business,
1gs ect as to corn is growing more

THE STRIKING MINERS
AN EARLY SETTLEMENl w -
TARIFF QUESTION DESIRED.
NO GREAT CHANGE FOR THE WEEK
The Immediate Prosperity That Was Scheduled
to Arrive on Passage of Tariff Bill
Has Been Side Tracked.

New York, July 9.-Bradstreets TO-
morrow will say:
There is only a moderate volume OF
trade throughout the country, the more
noteworthy changes being checked de-
mand west and northwest, due to the ex-
cessive heat and to storms, continued ia
vorable reports as to the cereal ana
other crop prospects and disturbance in
industrial lines due to the strike OF
about 10000 bituminous coal miners.
The reluctance of West Virginia opera
tiyes to ioin in the strike complexities the
situation.
The prospect of an early settlement of
the tariff has strengthened the wide
spread telling of hopefulness that the au-
tumn will bring a revival of consumptlve
demand. Orders for clothing, shoes and
hardware for fall delivery are already
more frequent at Baltimore, Chicago and
Omaha. The movement of dry goods is
checked by midsummer stock-taking, but
retail business in seasonable lines has
been stimulated by midsummer weather.
There is no improvement in demand for
cotton or wooden goods, but the latter are
higher, based ON the cost of wool.
Prices show an advance of one-fifth of
one per cent during June and mark the
beginning of a turn in the outward flow
of the tide of prices which continued
from January l to June /.

HOW TAMMANY MANAGED.

AiAS~A>NNNA-HN--0
tration of municipal affairs has spread
over the entire country in times past
and justifies the accusation of Carl
SchurZ, made at the meeting he'd for
the ratification of Mr.. Lows nom1na-
ton by the Citizens Union, that Tam
many is an association of politicians
for united support at public expense.
and for the enrichment of its leaders
by blackmail and public plumber
Whenever Tammany entered the ma
tional field it has come in only as
disturber, seeking to prevent the reali-
zation by sincere Democrats of the
best aspirations of Democracy. 1t was
at Tammany's spokesman, Senator
Tom Grady, that Gen. Bragg hurled his
epigram in the national convention of
1884: I'VE love him for the enemies
he has made"
New York city is having a little eX-
perience now with the inefficiency of
Tammany government. For several
weeks improvements have been under
way on Fifth avenue under the super
vision of Gen. Coils, commissioner Of
public works. A sewer was to be built
and forty -eight-inch water main laid.
The street has been torn up from curb
to curb The work has gone on with
provoking slowness, and the COM
plants, both of residents along the
avenue and in the press, have been
loud and deep. Gen. Coils has been
severely criticised for the slowness of
the work. Finally the Times asked
Col. Waring, commissioner of streets,
and it publishes his report. 1t is re-
plete with statements of conditions
that furnish the most conclusive evil
dence of the incapacity of Tammany
to conduct the affairs of a city.
Col. Waring reports that this avenue,
like all the streets of that city, is un-
derlaid with numerous lines of pipe for
gas, water, sewers, electric conduits,
house connections and house drains. all
laid during the years of Tammany's
control. Astonishing as it seems to
any one, even one not conversant with
the management of city works, he re-
ports the fact to be that there is no.
where a record to be found of the To-
cation Of these pipes; no statement of
their depth, or their character; no
record has been kept of the nature of
the subsoil, where dirt or rock was to
be encountered. so far as such pipes
are concerned, the whole subsoil of
the city is a terra ineognita,' says Col.
Waring. Under these circumstances the
contractors for the sewer and water
mains had literally to grope in the
dark. They could not know what pipes
lay in the course of their work until
they exhumed them In one case a
tWentyfour-inch water main was
found directly in the course Of the
larger pipe and had to be moved over
to make way. Special castings had to
be made to carry old pipes over or un-
der the new ones. No wonder the citi
zens of the great city at last grew
weary of Tammany management and
discharged the whole worthless crowd
and wonder it will be if next month
they reinstate them

REALLY GETTING TOO MUCH.

Byron w. Holt, one of the editors of
the Reform Club, and one of the best
posted men in the country on tariff
legislation and its effects, recently ad-
dressed the Boston Free Trade league
making an exposition of the operation
of the sugar tax his topic The pres
ent retail price of granulated sugar
averages, the country over, 81 for
eighteen pounds. Each time a house
wife buys one dollars worth of this
sugar she contributes As cents under
the tariff and pays SIS cents for the
sugar. Of the 45 cents, 20 cents gets
into the treasury, 20 cents goes to the
trust, and 5 cents as intermediate
profit to jobbers and retailers. The
trust is getting more now because of
its heavy importations previous to the
increase in the tax. When this excess
is exhausted and the tax is paid on
the raw sugars imported, the treasury
will get 25 cents of each dollars worth
bought of the retailer, and Is cents
will go to the trust and distributors
Upon this statement of facts a Min
neapolis paper, that has been bemoan-
ing the disasters resulting from reduc-
ed imposts and declaring that only
their reimposition could bring prosper
ity, is moved to declare that the trust
is getting by far too large a proper
ton of the sugar duty" 1t is even
now disposed to believe, what was so
strenuously denied when the sugar
schedule was being framed, that ''the
trust was able to get what it wanted
at the hands Of congress-" Of course,
it is getting too much" Why should
it get any? 1t does not need it, and
the best evidence of that is that it ex-
ports refined sugar, thing it could
rot do if it could not refine cheaper
than or as cheaply as its foreign COM
petitors. Why, if there are sugar max
ers willing to sell us sugar cheaper
than the trust can make it, should not
cur good people be allowed to get it of
them? Where, in all the domain Of
morals, is the justifica ton for the COM
pulsion of law that allows trust to
get not only too large a share" of
the taxation taken from consumers,
but any share of it whatever? A tax
of 20 or 25 per cent, were all of it to
go directly into the public fisc, is one
that the sultan of Turkey would be
ashamed to exact, and is one that
Americans would not endure for day,
if tax could be separated from cost
and separately demanded; but it be-
comes immensely more tyrannical and
outrageous when it is made the means
