in the newspapers Of the country, yet,
as matter of fact. it was only an

Isn't that enough To take ones
breath away? Is the country TO swim
in its tears to the succor of prosperous
Kansas the next time she "hollers??''
And here is another point for the
free trade Democrats to ponder. fer
Kansas IS just now posing as a Demo"
cratic Populist state, and its greatest
resources are in agriculture. IF 1S9,

five years from 1881 to 1892 averaged
80 million dollars more each year than
the four years Of President Cleveland'S
term" Mr Bryan is a free trader as
man the Democrats may put up for
their next presidential candidate Will
be obliged to make a large part of his
constituents believe that he is for free
trade. Kansas is not now in her po-

she has been. is prosperous. she says.
Please bear these things in mind.

one of the striking facts developed dur
ing the weeks discussion of the ila-
waiian treaty in the Senate is the eX-
tent OF the reliance placed by its oppo-
ncntS on the beet growers Of the country
TO defeat il.
They have hoped by urousing alarm as
to the disadvantages Of beet sugar In
competing with cane sugar, To gain over
some Western senator's under the prod
ding of beet growing constituents. II IS

Trouble

When the yellow flag of quarantine
is hoisted over dwelling it means disease
and danger. So when the yellow flag
flies in the face-when the cheek is sallow
and the clear white of the eye is dyed
saffron - there is danger. It is lirer
trouble. The liver is one of the most i'm
portant organs of the body. On the
proper discharge of its functions depend
human health and happiness. When the
liver fails Of its duty, poisons at once be-
gin to generate, and other organs of the
body become involved. Never neglect
the liver if you value health. If you are
suffering from liver trouble, begin at
once the use of AYERS PILLS and you will
find prompt relief and permanent cure.

referred briefly to Mr. Milliken's bli
liant career Of fourteen years in Con-
eress. to his happy faculty of makinS
and retaining friendships, and to his
own charming Individuality.
Following Mr.. Burleigh, Representa-

Kansas Seeks to Mend Her Reputation.

There are sensible people dwelling

Taken as Il whole, however, they arc

excitement say things which they DO
not mean They did just that back
in 1896. when a judicious adviser told
them to raise more corn and less he'll
they evidently see that he was moss

they were 50 hopelessly in debt they
must have fifty cent dollars with
which to pay those debts. that NOTHING
else could save them from hopeless
bankruptcy. This idea was ratified
at the polls by -, 900 plurality for
Bryan. Naturally the people in tn"
East with money to invest took these
KanSans at their word. Now Kansas
feels badly about it,and notwithstand-
ing the party that hoWled calamity
and voted for Bryan is in control Of
the state government the state board
of agriculture is trying to counteract
some of the nonsensical statements
made in the heat of the campaign.
They take advantage of the impression
that Kansas is prospecting this year
by reason of the large wheat crop and
the high price of wheat, and the fact
that payments are being made on
Kansas mortgages, to say to the East
ern investors that this is no uncom-
mon prosperity. only average. that
Kansas has all along been prosperous
We trust Mr. Bryan's friends will
prepare him against the full force of

Kansas has been all right all the Tins
and her wall was nothing but bluff
And here is Bryan saying there is NJ
real prosperity.
Here il is on state authority:
without going into detailed con-
Parsons to emphasize this point. it is
enough to note, whal will surprise

The showing made by the returns of
business of cotton mills in this state
to the State commissioner of labor
and industrial statistics is one to
which we would call the attention %
all who may be interested in the pres
ent disturbed condition of the cot
ton industry throughout New Eng
land. This feature Of the forthcoming
report of Commissioner Matthews we
publish in this issue. The fact that
the raw material and wages enter
ing into given product in 1880 We're
together seYenty-seVen per cent, While
in 1897 the same items constituted
ninety-one per cent Of the product is
an impressive one. OF course not all
mills have as small margin as nine
per cent. in which must be included
interest on capital, wear and tear of
machinery, taxes, insurance. repairs,
mills have a considerably less margin
to produce the average. Certainty
the showing is not one gratifying =
mill men any more than to employees
Southern competition and the hard
times of the previous four years have
left their mark and from the results OF
Mr.. Matthews Investigations it would
seem that the mill owners have been
feeling the effect in greater proportion
than the employees.
