tensity present unequal and unjust con-
dltions. 1t resolves itself down to L e
great question before the American reo-
pie today-shall man or money rule.
The Republican party is showing nore
pl linly every day its object and complete
sub'eriency to the rule OF money in lis
policy IN every way. It is the duty of all
good citizens who recognize this great
fact to lay aside minor differences and
have no stone unturned to drive it from
power, from township trustee to Presi-
dent. It's only by contesting every inch
OF the way and Caring in minor matters
that the victory will be won in the larger.

In the last national campaign the great
moneyed interests Of the country were
almost, without exception, opposed to
Bryan. Their interests and the men con-
trolling them are the ones that are now
organizing and directing the numerous
trusts. Theya are the ones who are profit
ing and will profit by them. BRYAN and
Mckinley will doubtless again be the
standard bearers and the issue will be the
same as before. The trusts and the conf
bines with a certainty Other growth and
power upon the one side and the inter
ests andrights Of the great mass of the
People-of free government upon the
othsr. The hypocrisy, the inconsistency
of'he Topeka Capital and other Republi
can papers in opposing trusts. while they
support the party that depends and will
dependupon them for the funds necessary
to'ns very existenceis indeed refreshing.
Anyone with a thimble-full of brains
knows that the Republican party will be
dominated as It has been by such men as
Hanna and Elkins and Plat and that
those men will control the part and the
government, if they remain in power, in
the interests OF the moneved class. to
which' they belong. Almost every mil
lionaire in this country has his millions
invested in some trust, through which he
isincreasirg and will increase his fortune
as never before. These men, almost with
out exception, opposed Bryan and the
Chicago platform, and they will oppose
Bryan upon the more radical platform.
upon which hewill stand next time. Tie
struggle Will be fercer than before and It
will be useless for Kansas Republicans to
try 10 deceive the people with a pretense
OF opposition to trusts. If left to them
selves they would unite with those Of all
otherpar;ies III Kansas in some effective
remedy for this great evil; but thay find
themselves forced to 90 contrary to their
own Judgment and wishes, as they were
upon the money question in the last cam
paign by those in the east who control
their party. Shall the trusts or the peo-

Taxation if properly adjusted would be
a great means Of equalizing wealth and
curtailing the accumulation of the CO.
losSal and dangerous fortunes of TODAY.
An indirect system of taxation such as
now supports our government, tax up
on consumption and not upon wealth al
ways tends 10 the building up Of colossal
fortunes and that is the reason il is con-
unued. The party in power today is
controlled by those having large fortunes
and they will Of course look ont for their
own interests. The amount consumed
by ten men worth $4,000 each will be
tar greater than the amount consumed BY
one man worth $4,000. In proportion
as II Is greater the ten men are compel
ledto pay more than the one to the sup
port OF the general government. The
wealth Of all should be taxed equally.
The fact l.at il is not is an important
cause of inequality in wealth. The IL
come tax was Just, and would have help
ed to correct this evil. To it should be
added an inheritance tax such as almost
all older countries have. It IS an insult
to the intelligence of the American peo-
pie to say that they lack knowledge and
ability that they cannot by legislation
correct any great and growing evil due
largely to vicious legislation, as this is.
Once place in the presidential chair, con-
5ress and our supreme court, men
who wished to correct these trust evils
md the organization of trusts, and the
incoming of the Millionaire would be
speedily stopped.

they. with the manufacturers. have al
ways worked on these lines, and all dys-
pcpsia cures made were composed of iii
gestivo ferments combined with some ca
thartc. The fact that temporary relief
followed the use of these remedies WINS
sufficient reason for their continuance,
although to the surprise of the doctors
permanent cures were seldom made. This
was easily explained. however. when
science proved THAT FOOD WAS Nor
DIGEsTpD IN THE STOMACH Ar
ALL, only prepared by this organ for tli-
gestion by the intestines; that dyspepsia
was caused by n disease germ and t!r,t
they had been doctor'nE the symptoms

that these germs in the stomach caused
