FRINGED OR HEMSTITCHED
It Makes a Difference on the Rate of
Duty on Linen Towels.

New York, Feb. 16.-The United
States board of general appraisers has
filed a decision on the rate and amount
of duties chargea bic on impOrtatiOnS of
certain kinds of towels. Marshall Field
& Co. of Chicago, protested against
paying the duty assessed upon these
importations. The towels were of lin
en- and some had knotted fringe while
others were hemstitched with about
three inches of the material reversed or
folded. The towels were divided in two
the number of threads to the inch
which they contained. One class was
assessed, for duty at 2% cents per
square yard and 80 per cent advalOrem
the other at cents per square yard and
80 per cent adValOrem.
The collector in ascertaining the
number of yards which the duty could
be imposed upon included the fringe of
the towels and also the folded portions
of the towels, that were hemstitche6.
The importers claimed that only the
plain portion of the towels should be
assessed. The board of general ap-
praisers found the fringe was composed
of warp only and that it could not be
assessed under a paragraph which pro-
vides that the threads to be counted
shall include both warp and fulling.
On this ground it was decided that
the fringe on the towels had been taxed
unlaWfully. The case was different
with the folded portions of the hem
stitched towels as they answered the
description of the paragraph in the tar
iff law under which they were assessed
for duty. Therefore that part of the
protest affecting the hemstitched towels
was OVerruled.

THE PoPULIsT DOCUMENT.
Attacks Monopolies and the Gold
Standard.

The POpulist address is as follows:
The conspiracy of gold and of monOp-
oily is nearing its elimination. Every
advance it has made during the last 25
years has been by adroit and steady
processes. These would have been i'm
possible if it had not had its agents
public trust in the legislature, executive
and judicial branches of the govern
ment. Neither the beneficiaries nor the
tools of this conspiracy have any par
ticular politics. In name the last ad-
ministratiOn was Democratic. The
present administration is called Repub-
Iican but it has ingloriously practiced
ard defended the perhdious policies of
its predecessor.
At length the selfish and brutal inter-
ests behind this conspiracy deem them
selves strong enough to dispense with
the caution and duplicity hitherto nee
essary to their success. The admins
tration boldly avows its endorsement of
their scheme against the liberty and
prosperity of the people. Within a few
weeks it has formulated and sent to
congress a bill, the leading purpose of
which is, in the words of the secretary
of the treasury:
ITO commit the country more thor
oughly to the gold standard
In the pursuit of this purpose of
committing the country more thorough
ly to the gold standard, the plan of this
administration as of the last is to re-
tire the greenbacks and other nOn-in-
terest bearing paper money of the gov
The Topeka state journal., 1898-02-16

ernment to issue interest-bearing
gold bonds and to increase the powers
privileges and profits of national banks
This achievement would turn over the
duty of supplying the peoples money,
the very life blood of business to a sell
fish, heartless and irresponsible foreign
gold syndicate, and its American agents
and allies.
The divine right of kings is to be
succeeded by the divine right of mil
Iionaires, who propose to run every
thing, not only the instruments of COM
merce and our industrial system but
also, as far as possible the pen of the
editor and the voice if not the intel
lect of the university professor
In every campaign the gold syndicate
and all the allied trusts and monopoIies
combine. They select the conventions
they desire to control, they elect the
candidates that they have selected. OF
course they control them after they are
elected. Therefore, those who are not
their agents and who would not submit
to their tyrannous spOliation should
strenuously oppose the allied combina-
ton of gold and monopoly.
The only hope of the enemy is to di-
vide us. Therefore let US be more uni
ted and harmonious than ever, and
further, let US organize without delay
a vigorous campaign in every state and
congressional district, county and pre-
cinct.
There are but two sides to this mighty
and portentOus conflict. All of those of
whatever party who favor the cOnSpir-
individual slavery, widespread poverty,
and national destruction, should be on
one side and all of those of whatever
party who oppose this deadly design,
who love truth and right, who love their
country, who love their homes and fire
sides and who believe in the sacred
principles declared by Jefferson and re
asserted by Jackson and Lincoln should
be on the other side. On this side we SOL
idly stand. Then let US, maintaining at
all times, party integrity, involve the
harmonious cooperation of all seeking
the same ends. The ominious dangers
threatening the institutions of the re-
public make this their duty. The line
OF the battle is clearly drawn. We can
not avoid the conflict if we would
therefore let US appeal to all citizens
and to all organizations and parties
that oppose this cOnspiracy-that op-
pose a government of the trusts, by the
trusts and for the trusts, that oppose
and will not submit to the despOtism of
Patriotism and manhood are not dead.
A large part of the American people re-
alize the wrongs and comprehend the
dangers, and are ready and anxious to
fight this system to the end. The spirit
of '76 is abroad in the land and the
friends of all liberty everywhere are
awaiting the patriotic call to fight a
Let this be done, and we can crush eve

people and for the people.

Necessity of Finding Remedy to
Cure Diseased Kidneys Led to the
Discovery of the World-Re-
nowned Morrow's Kidneoids.

No organs of the body are more de-
nendent upon the healthy action of
kidneys than the brain and nerves. If
waste matters of the system are not
removed as rapidly as formed, the
nerves are the first to know it and suf-
fer in consequence. The kidneys must
remove these most poisonous matters
Therefore the Importance of the rela-
ton of the kidneys and nerves is appar-
ent and should be of deep concern to
each Individual
RI the kidneys do not perform their
functions properly, systematically and
ON time serious complications must ar
ise throughout the entire body. From
the nerves firsc comes acute ana enron
ic headaches; then excitability Of tenn
uer. next nervous prOStrat1On, Shatter-
ed nerves ana insanity. With proper
treatment of the kidneys all these trou-
bles can be avoided or cured.
There is only one known remedy,
that not only will make the kidneys
sound as nature intended they should
be but also have strong ana whole
some effect upon the I4erVe centers-
that remedy is MOrrOWS S kldneOldS,
prepared in the form of a yellow tablet.
Morrow's Kidneoids are not the fool
ish fancy of day, but are the result OF
wears of experiment, experience and a
thorough study of the relations existing
between the nerves and kidneys. The
honor of the discovery OF Kidneoids is
due to John Morrow, that eminent
chemist of Springfield, Ohio, whose rep
utation would not permit him to place
fupon the market any remedy not Of the
highest value and merit.
In our last issue we announced that
one of the largest drug concerns in the
United States was negotiating for the
control of MorroW's Kidneoids. We
are now informed that the discoverer
of this most peculiar remedy that the
Herb Medicine Co, Springfield, Ohio
was the fortunate competitor of the
many firms, who We're endeavoring to
secure the sole right to prepare and
sell Morrow's Kidneofds in the United
States. They are now on sale general
ly.

will be sent postpaid, so cents per box,

DR.. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN
MEDICINE.
A Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Stomach Troubles.

DR.. Wurth, in commenting on recent
discoveries in medicine said: There is
none which is certain to be so valuab bic
and far reaching in benefit as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, the new stomach
remedy; I say far reaching because
people little realize how important
sound stomach and vigorous digestion
is to every man. woman and child.
Indigestion is the starting point of
consumption, heart disease, Bright's
disease, diabetes, nervous prOstratiOn,
liver troubles; why is this so? Simply
because every nerve, muscle and tissue
IN our bodies is created and nOurished
from the food we eat. If that food is,
by reason of a weak stomach, compelled
to lie for hours, a sour, fermenting
mass of half digested food, it pOisons
the blood and nervous system, creates
gas which diStends the stomach and
bowels, causing pressure on the heart,
lungs and other organs and seriously
impending their action.
He says further, the point to direct
attention is not the nerves, nor heart,
nor lungs nor kidneys, but the stomach,
the first cause of all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stOmachs is not some cathartfc
but a remedy which will digest the food,
increase the flow of gastric juice, alb
sorb the gases, and Stuart's Dyspep-
S1a Tablets will accomplish exactly this
result in any case of stomach trouble
because these tablets are composed of
the digestive acids, aseptic pepsin
Golden Seal and Bismuth, pleasant to
taste, and not being a patent medicine,
can be used by anyone with perfect
safety. I believe Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure any form of indiges-
tion and stomach trouble except can
Ger of stomach.
Full size packages of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are sold by druggists at
SO cents. book on stomach diseases
together with thousands of testimonials
will be sent by addressing Stuart Co..

HER MILLION BALES.
Savannah Can at Last Boast of Having
Reached That Mark.

Savannah. Ga, Feb. 16.-savannah's
cotton receipts reached the million mark
today and went beyond. Today's re-
ceipts of 3, 1870 bales carried the total to
1,000,025 bales.
This is the earliest date in the season
at winch SaVannah's receipts have gone
70 million bales, and there are only
TWO other years in which the receipts
amounted to as much as that, namely,
1890-91 and 1S91-92
That amount, however has been close
ly approached in several other years
There are now in port 105 900 bales, all
the balance having been shipped, most
of it abroad. It is estimated that the
receipts for the balance of the season
will amount to $50, 900 or 200 900 bales

GREATEST LIVING PIANIST
Josef Hoffman Sails From Bremen
for America.

Berlin, Feb. 16.-Josef Hoffman has
sailed on the North German Lloyd
steamship Trave from Bremen for
America. His farewell was in Hamburg
as soIoist with the Philharmonic society
and his success was extraordinary. The
seVerest of Hamburg's critics speak of
his performance as follows:
Hoffman has, at the age of 90
reached a foremost place among con-
temporary pianists as demonstrated by
his performance last evening. He is not
only a great pianist-he is a poet Not
since we heard Rubenstein, have we
heard Chopin played as young Hoffman
plays it. No wonder that the widest
enthusiasm prevailed"
