They Run on all Street Railways at Pitts.
burg, Pa.
Possibly the greatest advance in the
way of the trolley car is at Pittsburg,
Pa, where an express company, using
specially made trolley cars for transpor-
tatiop, has begun business. These ex press
cars, which are similar to trolley mail
cars, but with large sliding doors on the
sides, are run on all the street railroads
in Pittsburg and Allegheny. The work
of receiving and delivering packages is a
little slow at the start, but it is expected
to deliver package or to receive one and
give receipt for it in.about the time it
takes for passenger to board or leave a
car. At the suburban terminals of the
trolley lines the express cars are met by
automobile wagons, which continue the
delivery for miles into the country where
the condition of the roadway permits.
THESE wagons are electrically charged to
run seventy-five miles, and they travel at
a rate of from twelve to fourteen miles an
hour.

A Farm Or A Factory.

When you buy farm, or build a
factory, it is natural to consider all
conditions, and to locate to the very
best advantage. In the northern
portion of Wisconsin there lies vast
stretch of undevelOped or partially
developed country, which is awaitinS
the settler and manufacturer to turn
it into productiyeneSS and wealth.
Thousands of acres of rich lands
covered with fine hardwood timber are
open to the settler. who can obtain as
much as he desires at very reasonable
figures and upon easy terms. Improve
mentS, such as school houses and roads
are being pushed and ten years of
progress will make an astonishing
change.
The earth's rich deposits Of iron ore,
clay, kaolin and mari, together with
hardwood timber, easily supply the
wants of the manufacturer and offer
a fine inducement for the location of a
plant or factory.
The Wisconsin Railway Co. running
through this rich timber and mineral
belt, has opened it to the world by
Offering quick and cheap transit to
the principal markets of the country.
If you are interested, complete DIES.

levers till they are convinced of the
reality of religion. They are waiting
to have its truth proved. 1t must
make its appeal to the reason when
that is done faith is inevitable.
Man is made rational and whatever
is reasonable must carry conviction.
He may reject this or that dogma, but
he cannot cast aside the laws Of his
being. He may desert the church of
his fathers but he cannot run away
from himself; he cannot ignore the
principles by which he is governed.
He must listen to the voice of reason.
He must believe in all that helps him
to live. And when religion is under
stood, when it is seen to be natural,
when it is known as the deepest law of
mans being-aS the law of infinite
love working for his largest good,
then, he will become an intelligent
wOrShlpper, lover of the church
which is the fellowship of the wise
and good, lie will feel it an honor to
bear a part in its great work for the
world.
| Doubt, however, is only the
beginning of an intellectual move
ment which leads to a real knowledge
of truth and to the living of true
life 1t is a transition stage. We must
not linger in it or it will prove harm
| full. If we have lost faith in some
| things we believed we must go on and
| find what is more worthy of belief.
| Doubt must not fill the whole mind or
| it will paraliZe the will and work
moral decay. You have a
sad Illustration of this in Macbeth.
Doubt has paralized his will, disSipated
all the forces Of his nature, there is no
cohesion in his life, he falterS until
| irreSOlutiOn grows upon him and he is
too feeble for action.
| Tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time:
| And all our yesterday have lighted fools
| The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle,
LIES but walking shadow, poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more; 1t is a tale
| Told by an idiot. full Of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing"
That is the evil and sad side of
! doubt when a man allows it to settle
down upon him. when he regards it as
his final experience, when he misuSeS
it as denial of the reality and worth
of life, when, having discovered some
errors he thinks everything is false
and a deluSion. Yes. when man
takes his doubt to mean there is no
great and noble purpose in life-no
truth worth the trouble of any strenu-
Gus effort to seek and pOssess-no i'm
mortal character to build, no
immortal service worth enthusiasm,
and sacrifice, and herOism-then the
handspring of a worthy life is gone
and manhood perishes.
Let us be watchful and not suffer
doubt to end in darknesS-in despair
and the loss of manhOOd'S crown.

WORRY,
The Common Enemy of Women. Can Be
Made to Disappear.

The Common Enemy of Women. Can BE
Made to Disappear.
Worry is the most insidious enemy
we have, and though men are attacked
by 1t, women seem, from the condi-
lions of their life. to be its special vic
tins. 1t takes us unawares, like a
thief in the night, and we suddenly
awake to the fact that 1t has taken up
its abode with us. 1t does not depart
so readily. Sinbad's old man of the
sea was not harder to shake off; mean
while 1t is busy sapping our mental
and bodily vigor.. 1t absorbs the
strength, 1t lessons the brain power,
attacks the digestion, weakens the eye
sight, turns the hair gray. and adds
many years to ones life in a few
weeks. Though we know all this, We
simply acquiesce; we are worried and
accept the fact. But what we fail to
realize about it is just the simple fact
that the worry Is in us; hat we can
drive 1t away, since /. is something
quite apart from the outside troubles
that cause this same deadly worry.
First of all. we should take ourselves
in hand. and that. too. pretty soon. A

wrong, and she was full of gloomy
f~orebodings. when one day she reused
herself; she went to her doctor and
asked him for a tonic. In a few days
she began to find that matters were
not nearly so bad as she had thought.
Next she forced herself to cultivate a
hopeful attitude of mind, and before
a few weeks were past she was herself
again, and her business affairs a
ceased to weigh upon her mind. But
what We need is something that will
strengthen us against worry before it
comes. Some people are born with a
sanguine, CHEEKY temperament. others
are not. These last should make it a
sacred duty to cultivate a tempera-
ment that will stand hrm and serene
before fortunes keenest arrows. We

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press, writing from London. says that
the trust movement in England has
reached great proportions. Some of
the commodities which are controlled
by English trusts are g~unpowder. iron
bedeteads. steel tubes, dynamite, salt,
tin plate, rails and coal, while the trans
p%ortation rates OF all English products
are controlled by railroad and ship
but it is also true hat there are great
corporations which ~monopolize many
OF the n~ecessaries of life.
1t is strange. perhaps. that such
things could happen in free trade Eng
land. in view of the positive statement
of Trust King Havemeyer that there
would be no trusts here but for the
protective tariff. Yet the truth is the
truth, n there is no getting around
1t.
AS a matter of fact prosperity. and
prosperity alone, is responsible for the
organization of trusts. Without indus
trial activity engendered by a great
n growing demand for manufactured
products, there would be no incentive
to great combinations of capital.
The trusts are a menace, but the tar
if is not responsible for them. That is
a fac which will be made more promi-
nent IL the Democrats want to make
the tariff an issue in the next cam
paign.-Cleveland (O.) Leader.

The London Economist has given
a tabulated list of 1877 healthy. robust
trusts now existing in free trade Eng
land. OF these 1872 are more than five
years old. In the latter class are 16
iron and steel combinations, II textile
fabric trusts. four paper combines, and
IL railway rolling stock combinations.
According to the stock quotations and
reported dividends none of these big
concerns are at all lank or spindly, not
withstanding the absence of a tariff
mother to furnish nourishment during
the period of infancy. All these little
items of information in regard to the
extent of the trust system abroad ma
turally suggest an inquiry as to what
would happen If We complied with he
Democratic entreaty to take off the
tariff and bust the trust" Well, for one
thing, we would be sure to furnish a
mighty promising field OF operations
for the trusts OF England, Germany and
the other European nations which are
not engaged in the busting process

What free trade will do and has done
for a manufacturing industry is shown
by a recent melancholy article in the
London Graphic. which tells of the
vanishing silk business OF Spitafields,
England, once the center of a hive of
industry in which 300. 600 persons were
directly or indirectly employed. liz
Spitafields today there are only about
500 i've left, a poor remnant of the
once great and prosperous community
that formerly lived and worked there.
Let the American workman compare
this sorry picture with the growth Of
our silk trade, or with the tin plate
business, built up with marvellous rapid
ity in a few years under protective
tariff. which has placed the English
and Welsh tin works In the same
plight, and then let him answer to his
family and community II he permits
partisan feeling to lead him into voting
for free trade.-Exchange.

Selfish

The American people are not likely
to be easily hoodwinked by the cry of
Mr.. Havemeyer. that the tariff is he
mother OF trusts. which is being re-
peated parrot-like by the free-trade
journals OF the country. Instructive
object lessons in free trade and pro-
lection are OF recent date and are too
well remembered by business men.
They like the latter, because of the
prosperity 1t has brought. and they are
not likely to give it up at the behest

1t should not be forgotten that the
tariff which has kept our markets for
ourselves has really been the most
important factor in creating that de-
mand which has led to an advance of
wages. 1t has been the Increased con
sumption OF the country. beginning
with the return of confidence after the
election OF 1896. which has ~quickened
production. The present tariff has re-
tanned this immense production at
home. Most people know this; con
sequently the talk about a~bandonint
the protective tariff will o meet with
much favor. Germany's great progress,
like our own. is largely due to the pro-

From Chicago comes the announce
ment that more pianos have been
shipped west and southwest in the past
three months than in five years before.
This looks as though the people of the
west were able to indulge in luxuries,
n it tells a somewhat different story
from that with which the coantry be-
came so familiar during the dark days
of Cleveland and the Wilson law. Then
the reports from the west told of hard
ship. of the giving OF mortgages on
farms and on homes, and of struggles
to raise money to meet the interest on
mortgages and debts. Farmers and
artisans were not buying many pianos

American people have accepted 1t as

The free trade literary bureau occa-
sionally makes an absurd misfit in the
stuff it supplies to Democratic and
Populist papers in various parts of the
country. For example. w find float
ing around in the columns of rural
weeklies this paragraph. dated July rs:
Evidently the tariff is not accom-
plishing its alleged purpose-to foster
competition and advance wages-when
the tin plate trusts are united in n COM
bine and wages are not advanced. The
Republican talk about the tariff being
for the benefit of the wage Garner has
always been the thinnest kind OF pre-
tense
Ten days or two weeks before this
piece of free trade news" made its
appearance the wage controversy be-
tween the tin plate mills and their
workmen had been satisfactorily ad-
justed. and a substantial i%ncrease
granted to all employees. Still the lie
sent out by the free trade literary bu-
real has gone the rounds, INT it Is too
much to hope that 1t will be followed
up by a statement OF the truth.
1t is safe to say hat the fact OF a
large advance in the wages OF tin plate
operatives will not be promulgated by
the free trade literary bureau. Never
theless. the country as a whole is we'll
informed on the subject. 1t knows that
since domestic industries began to feel
the tremendous spur of activity follow
ing the restoration of the regime OF
protection and prosperity wages have
advanced all along the line, and that
for the year 1899 the gross sum paid
out by employers to wage earners in
the United States will exceed by hun
dreds of millions the sum paid out in
the corresponding year of the free trade
administration of 1s93-'97.
The Democratic mayor OF Milwaukee
was right when he said. not long since,
that it is folly to undertake a cam
paign OF education for the benefit OF
the Democratic party in 1900 in the
face of all the blazing facts OF pros
perity and progress. The free trade
literary bureau should act upon this ex-
cellent hint and repress itself; still
better, suppress itself.

Some people believe or pretend to be-
lleYe that commercial affairs have their
ups n downs without any reference
to our governmental policies. The peo-
Ilr who profess such a belief put them
se;Tes outside OF the nineteenth CEN
tura enlightenment by thus denying, as
IN Effect they do deny. that there can be

stusy would assure them that all sci
enc; and investigation declare that
CveSy effect has a cause. A few years,
ar gwen months, in any commercial
house run on business principles would
soon convince them. II they have minds
capable OF being convinced. that in the
commercial world most especially Is
there a close relation between cause
and effect.
Business prosperity or business fail
TIRE are each due to very distinct and
well-defned causes. The successful
business man doesn't get success
through chance. but through following
out well-settled plans carefully laid out
by sound Judgment. What is true of
an individual is true OF a nation. There
Ia a cause for every season OF national
prosperity and a'cause for every period
OF hard times. and the way to keep the
country prosperous is to find out the
cause OF the prosperity and then to
stick without wavering to the policy
which is responsible for 1t. Our whole
history as a nation has demonstrated
that the protective tarif is the cause
lying at the basis OF II prosperity. We
have always had prosperity when we
have had a protective tariff. The fact
that we have never had prosperity
without II is about the strongest evil
dence that could be offered. and there
