Nature has but one way 10 increase

by wholesome food well digested There
is no reason or common sense In any
other method whatever.
People are thin, run down, nervous.

because their stomachs are weak.
They do not think they have dyspepsia,
but the fact remains that they do not
eat enough food, or what they eat is not
quickly and properly digested as it should
be.
DR.. Harlandson says the reason Is be-
cause the stomach lacks certain digestive
acids and peptones and deficient secretion
OF gastric Juice.
Natures remedy is such cases is to
supply what the weak stomach lacks.
There are several good preparations
which will do this. but mono so readily

designed especially for all stomach trou-

the Republican party there is no hope
Of any improvement. any reduction Of
expenditures, any relief from oppres-
sive taxation. A party whose leaders
must boast of it's purity and efficiency,
while constantly piling up taxation
and increasing expenditures, will nev-
er reform administration or reduce the
burdens of taxation, because they do
not seem to realize that any reform
or reduction of taxes is necessary.
Long continuance in power tends to
arrogance, extravaganza and corrup-
tion. and when, as We have seen. a
party has been taken possession Of by
the mercenary officeholders who con-
troll its conventions, the atock-gam-
blers. money manipulators and great
trusts. as the Republican party has
been, there is but one way by which
the people can ever hope for reforms,
and that is through the prompt and
effectual overthrow of that party.
The fact that one state official has
been sent to the penitentiary, and sew
eral prominent senators narrowly es-
capped, within the past few years, is a
fair index to the situation and indi-
Gates the necessity for a change in the
control of public affairs in Ohio.

HANNA'S BRUTALITY.

The evening of the Hanna meeting
held in Columbus, Mr.. Hanna and his
party were taking carriages in front
of the Southern hotel, where about 100
people gathered around out of curios-
ity to see the main attraction. Among
the number was colored man, who
exclaimed as Hanna was getting into
his carriage:
Il am going to vote the Democratic
ticket"
Mr.. Hanna heard the remark and
saw where it came from. Standing up
in his carriage he pointed up at the
courageous colored man and said:
did you say you we're going to vote
the Democratic ticket?"
Eyes, SIR" promptly replied the ne
gro, that's what said and that's what
l am going to do"
Senator Hanna looked at the negro
In a fierce manner, and in vicious
tones said, as he prepared to sit down:
well, sir; you ought to be taken down
and thrown in the river"
The crowd was amazed at the bru-
tality of Senator Hanna's manner and
remarks. His friends saw the mis-
take that had been made, and are en-
gagged in breaking the force Of his
blunder by explanations that he was
only joking.

1T IS HIGH TIME TO CALL A HALT

In his speech at Oak Harbor, O.,
Friday, October Is, Horace l.. Chap
man made the following expose of the
waste and reckless extravaganza under
Bushnells administration. These
facts are furnished by Colonel c.. l..
Poorman, former Republican secre-
tary of state and chairman of the
finance committee, who is now for free
silver and against the IIanna-Bush
nell-Cox gang.
Republican papers and politicians
have been making great claims that
their party has given the state an
economical business administration,
that entities it to further continuance
in power.
In a recent speech, Senator Hanna,
who, perhaps, knows as little about
state finances, or how the state has
been administered as any man IN Ohio,
said:
We have the spectacle presented to
us today from Democratic standpoint
that the Issues in Ohio revolve around
the legislature. Do not let us forget
that we have had one of the best state
administrations in the istory of our
state. Cur floating debt has
been reduced and almost paid off,
Governor Bushnell has invited at
tention to this matter, making great
claims for the Republican administra-
tion of Ohio affairs. 1t is charitable
20 assume that they have been misled
10y partial statements especially pre-
pared to mislead, !; ! that neither of
them knows erous about the subject
to discover the errors, or that by eX-
travagant claims he was inviting in
yestigations that must prove dam
aging to his party. Both refer to the
superior state administration and the
senator to what he calls the floating
debt" meaning, it is presumed, the
funded debt" as distinguished from
the 'frreducable debt" the basis of the
school fund distribution.
AS the management of state affairs,
which involves the economy or eXtrav-
agance Of state administration, is dis
tinct and separate from the manage
ment of the debt" except as by NAL
administration such management in
terferes with the extinction of the
debt by using money raised to pay it
for other purposes, the two subjects
should be treated separately.
1t will be in order to first examine
the expenditures from the general rev.
enue fund, entirely controlled by party
influences, and then as to how the debt
trust. to meet which the sinking fund
was especially and sacredly dedicated,
has been administered

A REPUBLICAN, MINER
And Former Labor Commissioner In

And Former Labor Commissioner In
dorses II. l.. Chapman.
Canal Fulton, O., Sept. 26, '97.
Hon. w. T. Lewis, Columbus, O.:
Mr.. Chapman, Democratic candidate
for governor, refers to you as one who
can say whether or not he treated Or
ganiZed labor properly. l know you
To be a Republican, and know you as
an officer of Miners National union.
Hence | write you to ask how Mr..
Chapman treated organized labor to
your knowledge, and whether you
know anything about the bicycle mat
ter. Yours truly,
JAMES PARKS,
(Stark Coz Canal Fulton, o.
James Parks, Esq, Canal Fulton, O.:
Dear Sir and Brother-Please excuse
delay in replying to yours of recent
date regarding Mr. Chapman, Demo-
cratic candidate fer governor, and his
relation to organized labor and the BIZ
cycle matter.
You know that for some time l have
not been connected in an official capac-
ity as an officer of the miners. l can
state, however, that during the years
l served as an official and came in
contact with Mr.. Chapman l found him
to be courteous and an agreeable
gentleman, who was willing to meet
with our organization and discuss
fairly all questions pertaining to the
miners interests.
In relation to the bicycle trouble, as
you are probably aware l was one OF
the council for the prosecution of the
employers Of the Bicycle Workers
union.
Mr.. Chapman, to the best of my
knowledge, had no control Of that COM
pany or its actions. At least he had no
connection with the case and was alb
sent from this city at the time the
trouble occurred and during the trial.
OF course You understand that | am
and always have been a Republican,
and this statement to you is made for
the purpose Of informing you and 9TH
ers of my friends, to whom you refer
in your letter, as to Mr.. Chapman's
standing outside OF party politics. l
trust that you will not infer that l am
in any manner indorsing Mr.. Chap
mans political views, nor do l expect
to lend him any aid or comfort in this
direction. With kind regards to your
self and friends, am, very truly yours,
w. T. Lewis.

Thus have the promises of the Re-
publican party to tighten the burdens
Of the people tcnn fulfilled. After 10
years Of opportunity, and 10 years of
patient waiting on the part of the peg
pie, there has been constantly iacreas-
ing burdens of taxation and no indi-
catiCn from any source as to any pur
pose on the part of that organization
to inaugurate reforms or to reduce eX
penditure, and statesmen who talk re-
trenchment are promptly retired and
those with new schemes of taxation,
new methods of extorting money from
the people are in demand for public
positions and
Tine whole Cry Is More Money, Greater
Taxation.
It is surprising how the ingenuity
Of the politicians has been exercised
in developing new methods of taxation
in order to raise enough money to keep
uD this plundering system 50 as to
avoid higher levies on property that
would, long ago, have caused a rebel
lion among the ordinary taxpayers:
First, the liquor interests were COM
pclled to pay half a million dciiars,
then, when the demand for more mon
ey seemed to increase another quarter
Of a million was eXacted and tiiat in
terest paid last year S7S6,3S4.51 into
the state treasury.
Then taxes were levied upon ilsur-
ance companies, and last year these
paid Sill ,52236.
Then the tax on charters for manu-
featuring corporations was SO ipcreas-
ed that $122,274l5 was raised last year.
Then excise taxes on sleeping car
and express companies that were only
in their infancy, amounted to $l0,-
1912.
Then the tax on cigarettes brought
il Sf2,81718. and the collateral inher-
ito.oe tax S1,477.CS, making in all
$f,07G 23270 Of taxes raised by new
schemes not applicable in this state
until discovered by the ingenuity Of
tax-eating cormorants whose insatiate
appetites fer more plunder had to be
satisfied.
Remarkable as the growth in taxa
ton has been, it was not sufficient to
keep pace with the increasing demand
for more plunder, and three times
within ten years the legislature was
forced to borrow money to avoid bank
ruptcy, as follows:
