Do Not Protect Tru SITS.

1t is certain that the prevalence Of
trusts in the United States is due in
large measure to an undue tariff protco-
ton given certain American manufac
turerS.
There is reason to believe that one of
the most effective blows which could be
leveled against trust combination
would be to permit the entrance into the
United States, on equal terms with the
trust product, of the similar product
of foreign manufacturers. This would
tend to restore the competition which
the formation of the trust has ended
and to break the monopoly the trust has
created.
This fact alone raises trusts to the
dimension of a national issue. So it will
remain unless the present Congress
takes drastic action to end the abuse.
There are ways a-plenty for those who
seek them and willing hands can find
their tools.-St. Louis Republic.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its nor
mai condition, hearing will be destroyed
toreveri nine cases out OF ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces. We will
give one Hundred Dollars for any case OF
neafness icaused by catarrhl that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

"a gresham Richardson.

1t is already apparent that the Hon.
James Daniel Richardson will be great
improvement upon his predecessor as
the leader of the Democratic mr. ritv
in Congress.
Bailey's temper was uncertain and his
vanity easily wounded and as he was
always on dress parade it was never a
difficult matter for shrewd opponent
to throw him off his balance.
Richardson is cool and collected, and
never permits his personality to over
shadow his leadership. He smiles at
thrusts that would enrage Bailey beyond
measure. He knows what he wants to
do, and allows nothing to divert him
from his purpose. Moreover, he is an
accomplished parliamentarian and a ca
psble, though not a brilliant debater.
The minority may follow him without
fearing of nlakiag tactical blunders.-

COMMENT On MESSAGE.
London Papers Note the Rebuke TO

LONDON, Dec 5.-All the morning pa
pers have editorials on President Nc
Kinley's message to Congress
The Daily Telegraph says: What
ditferentiates the present from preceding
messages is it's all but formal admission
that the United States has been drawn
into the eddies of eastern politics. 1t is
the far east which is the real reason for
this partial abandonment of Monroeism.
So far as Great Britain is concerned,
there is no apprehension but rather I'M
qualified satisfaction with the new de-
parture."
The Daily Mail says: Commercial
expansion is the dominant note of the
message. Shipping subsidies are plainly
limited at Ii Congress carries these
into effect, British shipowners and Brit
ish shipping firms will have to break
through all rings and enter upon new
epoch of enterprise
The Daily News Says: at is quite
evident that the United States is to be-
come one of the great naval powers of
world. Mr.. chamberlain will find but
cold comfort when he reads between the
lines Of the message While it urges a
good understanding with all countries.
it Is not ELUSIVE toward our own. If it
sins anywhere in that way, it is for the
benefit of Germany, and Americans will
do all in their power to make the two
countries the best of friends"
The Morning Post, after noting that
President MchInley's message is cordial
ana courteous, says; I'VE are surprised
to hnd his statements in relation to the
new possessions of the United States
much less emphatic than those which
he used during the summer and autumn
in the speeches he delivered in various
parts of the republic"
The Standard says: 1.-The message is
comprehensive, but not exciting, espe.
cially so far as external relations are
concerned. President McKinley's Ian
guage is carefully guarded on Anglo
American relations. Toward Germany,
on the other hand, he is very cordial

as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-

knife accomplishes nothing, for

always more virulent than before.
