In the erection of any structure,
whether of material or mental compo-
sition, of ethics, of law or government,
the foundation must first be firmly
laid. In organized society as now con.
stituted the farmer and producer must
first be provided for. He must be hap
Ply and contented before happiness can
come to those perched upon his back.
When he trembles all society has good
reason to fear a fall. Labor is the
turtle upon which Atlas stood to up
hold the world. If the laborer is not
provided for soor,Rr or later something
will drop But the world is wide and
there is room for all. The earth will
always provide sustenance for man.
The natural world about us is the an
swer of God to the need of man. Mans
need is his warrant Let him in his
present emergency rely upon the prom
ises of God conveyed to him by reason
and by nature as well as in the teach
ings of revelation. For man must
learn of nature and to her he must re-
turn to instruction in the way Of life.
The trend of modern life is all toward
the cities, those sink holes of eiViliza'
ton. The tendency must be changed.
Make country life easier and all things
considered, more profitable, by making
a home upon the soil absolutely free
and untaKable, and the thing will
change itself This was the plan of
Moses; let us return to it,

many enterprises, like the Republican,
say a reform tariff bill will. The bill
will close down legitimate enterprises
that are to-day in operation. 1t will
throw people out of employment II
will put the book business in the hands
of smaller number than those who
are now in it How can any man who
says he opposes the reduction of the
tariff because it throws labor out OF
employment favor this bill unless he
can show better reasons for its passage
than are in it?
Mr.. President, it goes further than
that. This bill will bear hard upon
the country weekly newspapers. The
bill robs the editor of the country
newspaper of his only chance to-day of
advertising his paper and increasing
his circulation. 1t robs the man who
wants to start paper and compete
with papers that are already establish
ed and have plenty of money behind
them. This bill robs them of the sam
pie copy privilege, which to-day is the
main resource that the country editor
has to advertise his paper and extend
his circulation. 1 dare say that if the
bill passes, your newspaper, the Silver
Knight Cunning to Senator Stewart),
will be crippled. You have built up
your circulation chiefly by sending out
sample copies. The profits from your
paper would not justify you in putting
man on the road, to pay railroad
fare and hotel bills to get subscribers
for your paper. You must depend on
sample copies largely.
Mr.. President, the bill will create .
newspaper trust, as well as rob the
people of half the benefits to-day that
they get from the postal system.
Prosperity does not mean simply en-
ployment Employment may mean
disaster if the employed are receiving
starvation wages and paying monopoly
prices for necessities After one year
of republican prosperity the poor are
crying for bread and the rich are seek
ing entertainment. In Cook county
alone there have been more mortgages
foreclosed, more homes swept away,
than ever before in the history of the
country. Three hundred mortgages =
week is the pitiful record of foreclos-
ures during this prosperous year But
the monopolists have prospered The
nbrokers and money sharks have
prospered. The poor pay 10 per cent
month when they must; they sell
property at half value if necessary to
procure case with which to buy food
and clothing if they have to, and then
somebody is the gamer. Ex-Governor

STREET QUESTION,

Baton Rouge has awakened to
the necessity and utility OF paved
streets. Putting gravel in holes
and filling up ruts is a waste ot
time. material and money, Shreve-
port has awakened TO this fact and
is spending thousands of dollars IN
building solid and durable streets.
1t iSan expensive business, but 1t
will prove a true economy in the
outcome. Smooth and indestruc
tive streets enhance the value OF
property as well as give evidence OF
a true spirit OF thrift and energy,
Times.
All cities of any Importance are
alive to the nessity for paved busi-
ness thoroughfares, and the larger
cities even pave all residence
streets. We are truly glad to
know that Texarkana's live busi-
nC men and progressive citizens
are beginning to feel and know the
great Importance of good streets,
and we hope and confidently expect
to see Broad Street well paved in
side of the next two years. We can
never hope to have a good business
standing in the business world un-
til this Improvement is accomplish

The amount of liquid refreshment
taken by man OF 70 years would
equal 76,7OO points, and to hold
this a pail twelve teet high and

The weight of the liquid would be
over forty-two tons. If t had been
used in the torture of a criminal by
allowing one drop to fall on his out
stretced hand every minute day aud
night the supply would have lasted

nnininn Of an Eminent Jurist.

Ballot reform in New York was
necessary, says an eminent iurist,
because mere politicians by trade
who had no interest in government
or politics except to enrich and
apprandize themselves sought
perpetual control. There are other
excellent reforms besides that of
the ballot. Conspicuous among
them Is the reform, promptly and
and thoroughly effected in a dis
ordered physical system by Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, which
counteracts tendencies to serious
disease bred by a deficiency of vital
stamina, lrregularity of the bowels,
stomach, liver or kidneys, and in
ouietude of the nerves. This ster-
ling medicine, which has for near
half a century won because it de
serves popular favor, IS commended
by physicians of eminence who ac-
cord it their approval not only for
its excellent qualities in remedial
capacity, but also for its serviceable
properties as a medicinal stimulant,
1t soothes and strengthens the
nerves, and is far preferable to the
heavy, unmedicated stimuli OF com
meTCe.
