DIR LADY READERS

should know that the torturing pains and
nervousness which accompany many Of
the distressing ailments peculiar to wO-
men, yield like magic to DR., Pierces Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t Is purely Vegeta-
BILE, perfectly harmless in any condition
OF the system and adapted to the delicate
organisation OF woman by an experienced
physician OF thirty years active practice.
It allays and subdues undue excitement OF
the nervous system and relieves the pain
accompanying functional and organic
troubles Sallow or wrinkled face, dull
eyes and hollow cheeks, together with low
spirits, follow the arrangements, irregu-
larities and weaknesses peculiar to the
sex. When suffering from nervousness,
dizziness, faintness, displacement OF w0-
manly organs, backache, catarrhal in
flammatlon Of the lining membranes, CIV
ing rise to an exhausting drain upon the
system, "bearing-dOwn sensations" or
general debility, DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription reaches the origin of the
trouble and corrects it. Avoid the
dreaded and repulsive ''local applica-
tions" so generally employed by doctors.
You can cure your ailment by the use of
"Favorite Prescription" and thereby
save the humiliating ordeal Of submitting
to such treatment, It's medicine which
was discovered and used by an eminent
physician for thirty years in all cases OF
female complaint" and those painful
disorders that afillct womankind II wo-
men are overworked, rundown, tired or
sleepless, il they are irritable, morbid or
suffer from backache, they should turn
to the right means for permanent cure.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription fits just
such cases, for it regulates the special
functions and builds up and invigora&es
the entire female system.

WHY NOT A NATIONAL COURT


The Clemens law creating a railroad
Court Of Visitation has attracted atten-
tion all over the country. Newspapers
have widely commented on this and aside
from partisan bias they have uniformly
remarked upon the originality Of the law.
"A sample criticism is that Of the Sat
urday Evening Post, Of Philadelphia, a
literary paper Of over 100000 circulation,
which recently made the following COM
ment In its paper Of "Publlck Occurrences
that are Making History"
At its recent special session the Legisla-
ture Of Kansas passed q bill that Is de-
clded novelty In railroad legislation.
The bill, In brief, provided for the estab-
llshment, not of an ordinary commission,
such as exists In most Of the States, but Of
a. regular court vested with exclusive Ori-
ginal jurisdiction over causes Of contr0-
Versy between the railroads and the pub
lie.
belonging 10 courts OF common law and
equity, under which It could obtain evidence
and compel obedience to its decisions. The
first judges would be appointed and their
SUCCESSORS elected; hence, the public would
have q personal interest In the court, and
have no occasion to change the selection Of
incompetent or irresponsible judges.
The interest which has been evoked
nationally by this law and It's extension
to cover the express and telegraph COM
panies suggests the idea that 1t might not
be a bad substitute for the Interstate
Commerce Commission which, on It's own
admission, has signally failed to regulate
the railroads. Why should not the Court
of Visitation idea, which Mr. Clemens
drew up for the special session Of the
Kansas legislature, be adopted by the
nation?
The idea Is really an attractive one
from "a national standpoint Reference
to the article OF Doctor Bemis, which we
publish elsewhere, brings out the import
ance which the trust and transportation
questions are assuming. There must
surely be comething taken up in the near
future which shall decide these great
matters. Mere making Of laws which
the trusts and railroads can calmly dlsre-
gard will not help the matter, but
court given power to compel the railroads
TO obey the laws and to keep the trusts
from overriding the people might not be
a bad solution Of the problem.
The great trouble with such propo-
sition would probably be in the attempts
Of the corporations to elect as judges
men who would serve their interests.
This would apply more to national court
than to a tribunal having only State ju-
risdlction.

A TRUST OF TRUSTS.

One OF the greatest problems before
the people Of this country is the ques-
tion of trusts. A trust Is the combination
of the interests controlling any line OF
business for the purpose Of preventing
competition, limiting the output and die
tating the prices on the product. 1t Is
really combination for the restraint Of
trade. The national government and most
Of the States have laws forbidding all
such combinations. But In that case pro-
hibltion does not prohibit, for the forma-
tion of trusts goes steadily on in defiance
Of all law. Promoters are busily at work
hunting up all branches Of business from
which trusts can be formed and organic
in them in to combines for the avowed
purpose Of destroying competition and
putting up the prices. Each plant is put
In at an agreed amount, often exagger-
The Advocate and news., 1899-03-08

ated, and the aggregate output, although
diminished, is expected to pay profitable
dividends upon the inflated capital OF the
combine. This can only be done by ad-
vancing the prices which the consumers
must pay.
BY limiting the output and shortening
the supply the demand Is increased and
the prices can be advanced Local con-
Germs are bought up or forced out Of the
business, their doors closed and their
employees thrown out of work. The mo-
noDOly dictates the employment Of labor
and from It's decision there seems to be
no appeal.
The king Of the coal oil trust has $4,000
men in his employ. II that great trust
was diversified, as 1t should be, employ
ment would be given to four times as
many people, and the cost Of oil to the
consumers would be greatly reduced. The
hundreds Of millions Of dollars piled up
by the stockholders Of the great combine
would have been paid to additional labor
ers and left In the hands Of the consumers
of the products.
With the growth Of these trusts will
come other great questions AS trusts
they will not always work together in
peace and harmony. Their interests will
clash and conflict. The ambition Of their
managers will lead them to invade each
others territory and to trespass upon
the claimed rights to particular lines Of
business. This has already occurred in
several instances. Selfish interest will
demand that this be prevented and that
the claimed rights Of each trust be re-
spected and protected. This can only be
done by combination Of all the trusts
into an immense trust Of trusts cOntroll-
ing the combined capital Of this country
and possible also that Of other nations.
Such a supreme trust would not only
manage the business interests Of the
country but the government Of the coun-
try as well. The president Of such COM
blne would not only stand before kings
but he would put kings and presidents
duu CUubIGSS duu COuIIo uuu0L Ills lCOJ
and walk over them all at his own will
and pleasure.
The alleged capital of the trusts al
ready formed amounts to three times the
national debt of this country. II organ
lied into a trust of trusts they could not
only carry the national debt, but could
control the financial interests and die
tate the administration of all depart
ments of the government.
In the mind of the average American
there is only one answer to the ques-
tiOn whether the trusts shall own the
country or the country shall own the
trusts; the hesitation lies in the time it
takes him to come to recognition Of the
fact that there is no other alternative.
For an authoritative article on this
subject we commend to all our readers
the admirable paper on trusts by DR.. Be-
mis-, which we publish elsewhere
