Mckinley Prosperity.

Business is not what it was a year
ago, but men do not agree on defining
the difference. The working forces
are now decreasing, work stopping
to relieve excessive output in manu-
features in paper, cotton, wool,
leather, and some forms of steel.
while prices are suddenly reduced in
lead, wire and nails. All this seems
to some merely spring dizziness. -
others think it 1.-THE beginning of re-
action" In place of the wild specu-
lation in securities which sTelled ex-
changes a year ago. there has come
such liquidation that 20 preferred in
dustrial stocks have sold this week al
prices averaging SS3.14 per share,
though the same stocks sold in April
last year for $99. so per share, and 20
common have sold this week for
$38. 40. which sold last year at $17 SO,
double the price.-R. q. Dun q Co. s

ATTENTION, LADIES.

The Diamond Garment Cutter
school is now open for the inspection
of the ladies. If they will call and
see what is being done by the schol-
ars they will appreciate the work.
This is an opportunity the ladies of
Rock Island will never have again
a school brought to their very doors,
thus saving each person who desires
to learn the art of cutting, fitting and
making fine costumes at least $50
each. The Diamond Garment Cut
ter" has been a boon to thousands
both rich and poor-educating the
daughters in useful art, enabling
the family to dress nicely at n moder-
ate cost and done it's Iull share to-
wards supplying the comforts and
blessings of a happy home. Ladies',
do not neglect this opportunity Of
fered here now, and then regret il
like others who have said: 20! how
l wish that 1 had taken Instructions
when | had the chance If our field
instructors call on you do not let
them go away without making a full
explanation of our work in the school
room, but if they do not call at your
home. come to the room and investi-
gate for yourselves. Many are avail
ing themselves of this opportunity
of lifetime" Parents, fulfill your
duties TO your daughters and teach
them useful knowledge; whereby. if
necessity demands it, they can earn an
honest living and maintain their
womanly dignity. We fully believe
there is not family in this city own
ing a sewing machine that will let
this opportunity pass after they un-
derstand Just what the diamond
Garment Gutter is and that they can make
with IL any garment worn in the family with
perfect satisfaction 1t is a surprise within
itself. II the ladies do not investigate they

At Kansas City.

Next week the representatives OF
the democracy of the United States
will meet at Kansas City, where they
will nominate William j. Bryan for
president by reclamation. They will
also nominate a candidate for vice
president from among that group OF
men whom have never wavered in
their advocacy of democratic princi-
pies.
The convention will adopt a plat
form in harmony with it's past record
and will take decided ground upon
new issues.
The hope of the republican party
that the democrats would be torn and
weakened by dissensions in their ma
tional convention has disappeared
1t is now evident that the utmost
harmony will prevail and that the
democracy as q whole will agree on a
president and n platform without the
aid of a boss or without the aid of
office holders.
We NAV be sure also that when
Mr.. Bryan is elected president that
he will be a real president, and that
the government will not have to
maintain some one to change his
mind for him in order to meet politi-
cal emergencies.

DOES anyone believe that the repu b.
lican party will honestly oppose the
trusts? AS far back as 1883 the re-
publicans declared in their national
platform their opposition to all COM
binations of capital organized in
trusts or otherwise. to control arbi-
trarily the conditions of trade" And
yet it has been under republican su-
premacy in the United States that
trusts have waxed strong and fat, and
not a single move has been made by
the republican administration to re-
strain the monster aggregations
which are driving the independent
business man out of existence and are
monopolizing every line of trade.
There will be no relief from tie greed
of the trusts through the republican
party as a medium

Theodore Roosevelt.

Roosevelt is an apostle of the
strenuous life.'' He believes in
aggression and calls it progress. II
necessary to establish our rule, he
would sweep the Filipinos into the Pa
citic. He holds that war is good.
He likes it for it's own sake; and
falsely in the name of civiliza-
ton, but really to crafty am bition
and greed, he would have the strong
wage it upon the weak. When the
rights of the feeble conflict with the
selfishness OF the mighty he would
not regard them. He has undoubt-
edly physical courage. likes to box,
wrestle, ride and shoot, and has
proved his readiness to practice what
he breaches. Roosevelt waI born
with gold spoon in his mouth and
received the benefits of a university
training. Had he been born poor,
and were he without education, he
would be a prize fighter.-Dubuque

Question AnsWered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower.

More Enthusiastic Than Ever.

The democratic state convention
held at Springfield this week has
proven the most enthusiastic the par
" has ever held in the state. The
earnestness and determination with
which the contest was waged for the
cubernatorial nomination is indica-
tive of the fact that the party and its
leaders do not regard the honors
that come in place on the ticket as of
an empty nature. The democrats
have considerably more than a
fighting chance in Illinois this yesr
apd they have got their fighting
clothes on.
The state convention was repre-
sentative of the best that the party pos
sesses in the state and harmony was
shown in all that was done. The
nomination of Samuel Alschuler, of
Aurora. for governor. was the logical
outcome of such conditions as pre-
vail, while the remainder of the ticket,
including also the selection of dele
gates-st-large as well as the district
delegates to the national democratic
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1900-06-27

convention, carries the strength of the
reunited party. The platform is
strong enough and broad enough for
any democrat to stand upon, and
one typically representative of the
feeling as it exists today. 1t is one
that stands for the party's frank and
outspoken expression. 1t is one to
which every true democrat may give
his amen.
Taken in any light the outcome of
the convention could not have been
more satisfactory to every member of
the party.

Nothing can be good for everything.

Doan's Kidney Pills do only one
thing.
They're for sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney

Here is Rock Island evidence to
prove it:
Louis Range, of 72S Seventeenth
street. retired, says: There is moth
ing like experience to prove the real
worth of a remedy. For years | suf-
fered from kidney troubles. tried diff
ferent remedies and used plasters, but
got no relief that was permanent
until l used Dosn's Kidney Pills.
There was a weakness and such terri
BILE pains through my kidneys that /
could not sit down or get up without
feeling terrible shooting twinges.
Whenever l caught cold it always
settled in my kidneys and aggravated
the pain. One day l was complaining
about my back TO MIR. Wivill, of 1911
Seventh avenue, and he told me that
Doan's Kidney Pills had cured his
backache and he advised me to try
them. l bought supply at Marshall
x Fishers drug store, in all five boxes,
and found them just as my friend
had represented. They relieved the
pain in my back and restored the ac-
ton of the kidneys"
