Eczema!
The Only Cure.

Eczema is more than skin disease,
and no skin remedies can cure it. The
doctors are unable to effect cure, and
their mineral mixtures are damaging
to the most powerful constitution. The
whole trouble Is in the blood. and
Swift's Specific is the only remedy
which can reach such deep-seated blood
diseases.

TO EMPLOY IDLE LABOR.

Elk Senator w. A. PETER who has
given the problem of the unemployed a
great deal of study, offers a valuable
suggestion in the following. This is a
question that viii soon require the at
tention Of the entire public and it is
matter that should be earnestly con-
sidered by all men:
Our development in manufactures
has not been equalled anywhere at any
time, and the Improvement in the quail
ity and quantity of work done and in
wages paid has been phenomenal. This
growth has been attained with a pie
thora of labor which grows faster than
the work can be done, and there lies
the great trouble of the time Labor
can be proftably employed only in vast
establishments where the muster rolls
contain names by the thousands. The
harvest Is ripe and the reapers multiply
far beyond the need of employers.
And the evil will soon become serious
unless statesmen and economists turn
their attention toward the solution of
the problem it presents, which is, how
to employ all the workers on the work
that is to be done.
Every state, probably, and all the
incorporated towns and cities have va
grant laws and poor laws. Vagrancy is
declared an offense-a misdemeanor,
and is punished accordingly. The rule
is TO put Migrants to work for the pub
lie. In one form or another, all the I'M
employed labor of the country is a
burden on the people at large-the
neighborhood, community, county, city
or state. How much better it would
be to provide public employment for
all that cannot find work with private
employers.
In connection with legislation along
this line, laws in every state ought to
be enacted fixing days work at eight
hours or six hours, so that more per-
sons might be put on the work now to
be done. Then it ought TO be made the
rule to have public work for all persons
that would, otherwise, have nothing to
do. 1t would cost no more to furnish
honorable employment to the idle than
it now costs to force people to work at
dishonorable occupations. How much
better man would feel working for
wages for the county or state or nation
than to go with the chain gang to WORK
as criminals"

A TALL, cadaverous APP
pearing young man thin as a
rail, and with face, neck and
hands begrimed with dirt,
coal-dust and SCOT, walked
into the county agents office
at Chicago, Tuesday morn
ing, and asked to be sent to
the poor house. The request
was refused. "Send me to
the bridewell or to Jail then;
for Gods sake send me to any
place where l can get some
thing to eat" His name was
Joseph Shea and out II
years old. In an answer to
questions he told them he
had not eaten since Satur-
day. His appearance did
not belle his words. He said
he had left his home in Fitch
burg, Mass, in August in
search Of work. He has not
found any work which seems
very strange under Mckinley
prosperity. to Rea-
son.

WAR is horrible thing to contem-
plate and yet there are millions of PEG.
pie in this country who would hail it
with delight. They are divided into two
classes: The one class is composed
of those who would watch for an oppor-
tunlty to speculate with the enormous
debt 1t would entail, and the other class
is composed of those who are idle and
who are willing tOdoanything to get en-
ployment, even to haZarding their lives.
But to look on the civilized side of it.,
there should be no war. War is GRIM
inal and barbarous, and if the people of
all nations were enlightened it would
never again blood stain single square
foot of the earth's surface. But under
our present system few high cock a.
lorems manipulate the whole world and
use it for their own advantage and
benefit, and before the bulk of
the people get awake they have things
their own way and resort to arms is
all that is left. If the people would use
their brain power more and their mus
cular power less how much better it
would be for the entire humane race.
War is cruel, and after it IS all over it
generally benefits the fellows who did
nothing to make 1t a success more than
1t does those who suffered on the bat
tie field.

j. K. JONES is a queer indi-
vidual. In his address issued
to the democrats last week
he denounces the scheme to
retire our paper currency,
and yet it was only a few
years ago that he introduced
a bill in congress providing
for an issue of $5OO,OOO,OOO
gold bonds to take up the
greenbacks- According to
his own language he must
have been a scoundrel when
he advocated that measure.

The destruction of the battle ship
Maine in the Havana harbor last week
was a great loss to the United States.
The cause is as yet as deep a mystery
as it was Immediately after the disas-
ter took place last Wednesday. One
theory is that it was accidental and an
other is that it was Spanish treachery.
The naval authorities are carving on a
costly investigation and judging from
the way 1t Is at present proceeding it
will end about as it began. But the
most terrible circumstance connected
with this unfortunate affair is the loss
of the lives of 263 brave men. This is
a loss that can never be replaced by
neither money nor war. Those men leave
mourning families behind to whom they
were dear. 1t is the first disaster of
the kind in American history and 1t is
to be hoped that it will be the last. If
it was due to Spanish treachery most of
the government officials are attempt
ing to cover it up; if it was on account
of weakly built ship they are ashamed
to admit it. There is a screw loose
somewhere and the people will find 1T
out sooner or later. 1t is generally
known that all our battle ships have
been Sighted and could have been
made better and we are, for that rea-
son, inclined to believe that it was an
accident, yet the theory of Spanish
treachery is also plausible.

INCONSISTENCY.

1t would seem to occur to the aver
age intelligent reader that there are
some very inconsistent things aboutre-
publican newspapers these dayss a
notable instance is presented IN last
weeks Cresset. The inside and out
side are at angles with each other.
The matter on the inside pages of this
sheet tends to lead one to believe that
prosperity Is among US, but the first
page on the outside tells a different
story. AS examples. we clip the fol-
lowing:
Mrs. Carolina Lang. aged 81 years. and her
husband. Cornelius, aged 20 years, were found
starving at their home in Chicago on the I1th
They were both taken to the county hospital
where the woman soon died and the man was
said to be sinking fast Mr.. Lang had been
out of work.
Representa- tives of So textile unions met in
Boston on the 18th and voted unanimously to
recommend that all unions call out the opera
tives in every cotton mill in New England
Should the various national unions take ac-
ton in favor of the recommendation $4,000
operatives will cease work and the manufac-
ture of cotton goods in New England will be
at a standstill.
About3 600 trousers makers of New York,
Brooklyn and Brownsville went on a strike on
the 9th for an advance in wages. They claim
ed that they had to work 16 hours a day for
from S. to 50 a week as wages.
These are only few, we could pub
lish more; but these are sufficient to
show that the facts do not harmonic
with republican newspaper twaddle.
The Cresset editor has no control over
the patent side and hence it is that the
Cresset contradicts itself. Axline
should notify his patent house to sup
press the facts; their publicity will yet
be the ruin of republIcanism.

The government is too con
scientious to take interest
from a big corporation when
it is due, but it has no hest
fancy in contracting an enor-
nous and senseless interest
bearing debt and finally pay
ing it all-principal and in
terest-in gold. When Sen
ator Plumb said that most of
our public servants are in
partnership with a gang of
robbers he came pretty near
speaking the truth.

ONE of the most gigantic
trusts of the age is the Ma
tional Biscuit trust. 1t has
recently been incorporated
with a capital stock of 500
100000, including all of the
principal biscuit and cracker
factories in America. Re-
member that you are paying
a tax to this corporation ev-
cry time you eat of this food;
and remember also, if you are
not a Populist, that this is
just what you are voting for.

WHEN a big corporation
like the K. P. is in debt to
the government the govern
ment let's the debtor out by
knocking off the interest, but
when a common individual
gets into the clutches of a
corporation interest is COM
pounded semi-annually and
not a single copper is knock
ed Off" The land of the free
and the home of the brave, as
John j. Ingall ssaid, is fast
becoming the land of the
rich and the home of the slave.

In a letter to the Topeka
Mail and Breeze, re-published
in last weeks Cresset, Chester
l. Long says that the question
as to whether or not republi-
can promises have been full
filled will be answered at the
polls next November. That
question has been repeatedly
answered at the polls but the
answer has never yet been &C
copied by the republican pie
hunters as final. They al
ways fix up a new excuse.
The republican party has
been quite successful in de-
ceiving the people, the result
of which is that such fellows
as Chester live in clover I'M
interruptedly.

The sale of the Kansas Pa
cific railroad was consumated
last Thursday. The govern
ment held a lien on this prop
erty and ought to have bid
it in for the full amount of
the debt and owned and op-
Grated it. But it didn't do
it. The st. Louis re-organiz-
alton was allowed to bid it in
for the face of the debt and
the accruing interest for all
these years is lost. Had con-
gress stood by Senator Harris
this outrage would have been
prevented. But the company
had too many tools in con-
gress and of course the peo-
pie have been robbed again.

If the United States ever gets into
war and tries to Use it's navy, think
you Will find that the battle ships that
have been built by contract In order
that few bandits might make millions
of profit off them will 90 to the bottom
of the sea in short order. There is not
wanting evidence that can be cleaned
from the daily press that they are alb
solutely worthless and will sink 10y rea-
son of their own conclusion and rotten
ness. They are built orlprofit, not for
use. Some nations are wise enough to
have their ships made for use not for
profit, and against such ships ours will
be as wooden chips.-Appeal to Reason.
This statement is as true as it is
timely. For proof we have only to re.
fer to last weeks catastrophe with the
battleship Maine. The best authorities
say it was weak concern. The ship
cost the government about So, 600 coo
and yet the labor and material put in
it did not cost near that amount. The
syndicates that furnish the material
and the contractors that take the Job
skin Uncle Sam like fish when these
battle ships are built. The people are
paying dearly for this monkey work.

WE hear it occasionally said that
government ownership of railroads
would be failure in this country be-
cause the United States has a greater
railroad mileage than any nation on
earth. Why not use the same reason
ing in connection with an argument
for private ownership of the postoffices?
The number of railroads does not ar
feet public ownership at all, but il there
is any difference 1t would be that the
government could own and operate
many miles of road more successfully
than few. The more miles the more
traffic, and the more traffic the more
revenue. Ard again, the traffic would
be increased on account of the low rates
which government ownerhsip would
establish. There can be no good rea-
son advanced TO show that government
ownership would not be success.
