Free-Trade and Wood Pulp

England, like the United States,
is complaining of the high price OF
printing paper, due to an enormous
popular demand for newspapers
and to the growing scarcity of wood
pulp. Some of our friends are
claiming that the true remedy for
the trouble in this country is Free
Trade in paper and pulp. But as
England already has Free-Trade in
these articles. it would seem that
the case and its cure are not well
understood by those who are advo-
eating the proposition. Further
more, our Congress has no power to
repeal Cansda's stumpage tax on
spruce, which is very important
factor in the problem. To slaugh-
ter the American paper making in
dustry, and at the same time to fail
to accomplish the purpose in view,
would be poor policy. Congress
can be trusted to give full attention
to the subject in all Its bearings be-
fore taking decisive action. 1t has
been stated that the poplar, which
grows abundantly in the Southern
states, furnishes admirable material
for wood pulp. 1t would be better
to utilize it than to plunge into
doubtful Free Trade experiments

CHRISTIAN churches are prosper
ing under protection. Debts are be-
ing lifted, new churches erected;
pew rents increased and plate offer
ings are more. And yet certain
free trade papers are actually de-
claring that Christianity fourishes
most in hard times and that the re-
ligion of Jesus fattens on misery and
privation. However, as the old lady
remarked when she found that St.
Paul was against her faith, "Paul
and l always did disagree. and
free traders naturally disagree with
prosperity. = Central Falls (R. ID

The Democratic Attack.

One has but to give attention u
the editorial utterances of the Demo
cratic organs on the trust question
to be fully convinced that the pres
ent attitude of the party on tina
question is in reality not an attacl
upon the trusts at all, but simply ;
covert attack upon the protective
tariff system, says the York (Pa.
Dispatch. The only cure for the
trust evil proposed by these organs
or Democratic party leaders, is thu
repeal of the tariff laws. Fearing t.
make direct attack upon the pro
tective principle, they propose t.
strike down the tariff, through thu
anti trust howl. The people hat
an experience with the Wilson tariff
and the Democracy's first approach
toward free trade during the Cleve
land administration, and that ex
perience was enough fer one genera
ton at least. A direct attack upol
the tariff, the Democrats know,
would not be popular. But there il
determined opposition to trusts
and so hiding behind that issue they
see chance of knocking out thu
tariff.
In other words, they propose rid
ding the barn of rats by burning thu
barn. They would destroy trusts by
destroying the country's industries.
Do the people want such whole
sale destruction in order to correc
an abuse, correctible by other les:
damaging means. Is this the only
remedy Democracy has to proposeF
If it is it has utterly failed to GRASP
the situation or to measure the TEN.
per of the American people. Much
as the people may be opposed to
the trust octopus, they are not going
to take such radical and dangerous
means to exterminate the evil.
There are other ways of reaching
the disease without killing the pa
tient. If the Democratic party has
not the capacity to discover needed
remedies, the Republicans have and
will at the proper time apply the
remedies. The people, however,
are gradually seeing through the
thin disguise of the Democratic
antitrust cry, and are not going to
down the tariff to reach few cor
porations that are violators of law
and business principles. Many OF
the evils of trust combinations will
cure themselves in time. The body
polite will throw off the disease, just
as the human body does, working
naturally under natural laws. The
peoples eyes are being opened and
already the trust mania has been
halted. The bubble is bursting and
those who have their fingers burned
are likely to profit by their exper-
fence and their fate is warning to
Others. The -four trust is in the
hands of receivers because it found
itself unable to float its bonds.
Other similar concerns are likely to
meet a similar fate, and thus the
overdone trust evil is working its
own cure. Legitimate combinations
will survive, while the others go tc
the wall. Proper laws governing
combinations of capital win eventu'
ally cure existing evils, the Tariff
will stand and the antitrust Demo.

Attorney General Taylor has been
busy the last few days with Ills cores
pondence with the justices of the peace
throughout the state, says the Indian
apolis Journal. At the last session of
the legislature law was passed which
provided that all justices of the peace
should make an annual settlement with
the county treasurer in which his BALI
vic was situated. AT the same time 1t
was further enacted that the Justices
were to receive ten cents a mile for the
number of miles travelled In making
their settlements A few days after
ward the legislature passed county
reform law which provided that Justices
of the peace were not entitled To mile
age in the execution OF any duty. The
last clearly repealed the first, but the
justices still insist that they are entitled
to ten cents q mile for their annual
visits to the county treasurers. and At
torney General Taylor has been busy in
trying to apprise them of the law in
the case.

YEARS OF LAYING.
HISTORY OF THE CELEBRATED
TURPIE-LOWE CASE.
Original Demand Was for 100000 Dam
ages-Five Trials, Forty Witnesses Dead
and Other Details.

The celebrated case of James Turpie,
brother of ex-senator Turpie, VS.. Hugh
Lowe is finished for time at least af
ter period of litigation covering many
years. It was begun in the White cir
cult court In February, 1886, demand
for 100000 damages being made
through an alleged breach of trust on
the part or Lowe, who had assumed
Turpie's liabilities under an agreement
to pay them off as they became due. 1t
was agreed that Lowe should pay Tur-
pie a certain amount In cash and the
suit was caused by an alleged violation
of the contract. The case was tried In
May, 1886, and the jury disagreed.
A second trial before Judge Adams, of
the Clinton circuit court, resulted in
finding for defendant. This decision
was reversed on appeal to the supreme
court in March, 1888 The next hearing
was in the Cass circuit court on change
of venue and the decision satisfying
neither SIDE, new trial was granted by
agreement. This action was consolIda
ted with one brought by one Horner to
collect certain debts due him from the
Turpies which it was claimed Lowe
had agreed to pay and with another
suit brought by the Furpie wives for
the value of lands in Ohio, which 1t was
claimed Lowe had agreed to convey
| to them. The consolidated cases were
set down before Judge Fraser, who
ordered additional parties to be made
and by this step one Jones was
interested as cross complainant, de-
manding of Lowe the value of lands in
been promised. Over three months was
consumed in a hearing, which ended in
special finding of facts and judgment
in favor of all against Lowe, sggregat-
ing S33,S72. This judgment was re-
versed on appeal to the supreme court
in May, 1890. The fifth trial was in the
Cass circuit court before Judge Wat
kins, of Huntington, as special judge.
Trial was commenced In October, 1899,
and ended Thursday evening In vic
tory for Lowe, the findings giving him
a judgment for S12O67 Several inter-
missions were granted for hunting up
evidence. The three cases which have
been consolidated were also tried sep
arately. The attorneys in the last case
were ID. e. Justice, M. Winfield, and f.
b. Sellers for plaintiffs, and r. L.
Davidson, of Lafayette, and Guthrie IL
Bushnell, of Monticello, for the defend
ant.

TOWNSHIP TURSTEES' DUTIES.

Regarding Poor Relief Defined by Score
tary Butler.
So much confusion has arisen among
township trustees over methods of dis
tributing poor relief under the acts of
1899, that Amos w. Butler, secretary of
the state board of charities, Wednesday
sent out TO the township trustees of the
state circular calling attention to
their duties.
The letter says that all township trus
tees will administer relief to needy poor
under house act, No. 204, page III, of
the acts of 1899. The money will be ad-
vanced out of the county treasury and
will be repaid thereto by a township
levy the next year. After such relief
has been given three months, or to the
amount of SIS, a statement must be
submitted to the county commissioners
and authority asked to give further re-
lief. The auditor, the letter says, is re-
quired to report all poor relief with
drawsls to the state board of charities.
The letter urges the trustees to make
their reports promptly.

DREADED DYSPEPSIA.
The New Scientific Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Diseases.

The New Scientific Cure for Dyspepsia
and Stomach Diseases.
No person can be strong and healthy
with weak stomach. Few people re-
alize how much depends on strong,
healthy stomach. Ninety per cent. of
the diseases that af1lict the human
family are the result of a deranged
stomach.
The use of pepsil and other drugs to
stimulate this organ over an attack of
indigestion is as dangerous as the dis
ease itself.
These remedies give but temporary
relief and after the effects of the drug
wears away the stomach is In worse
condition than before.
A chemist, who has made stomach
troubles a study for years, has discov-
cred combination, purely vegetable in
character, that will give instant relief
to the sufferer from indigestion and
positively cures all folms of dyspepsia
and stomach disorders.
This new remedy, called Knox Stom-
ach Tablets, has the endorsement of
several prominent physicians and has
made many healthy men and women
out of invalids.
These tablets act directly on the
blood, liver, stomach and bowels. One
box is sufficient to prove to the most
skeptical that 1t is the greatest remedy
known to medical science.
All first class druggists sell Knox
Stomach Tablets. If your dealer does
not keep them, don't take anything else.
There is no remedy TO equal this new
preparation. Send soc to the Knox
Chemical Co.. Battle Creek, Mich, and
a full sized box will be mailed postpaid.
