Deafness Cannot BE Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot 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 infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing viii be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness -(caused by catarrh that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

THE LAWS AND TRUSTS
There Are Means for Relief, hut Re-
publicans Refuse to EN-
pIoy Them

Republican logic concerning the
trusts is fearfully and wonderfully con-
structed.
1t consists in making lot of affirm
ations and in denying every affirmation
that has been made.
1t affirms that there are laws enough
against trusts and denies that the laws
can be enforced. 1t affirms that trusts
are beneicient and denies that trusts
exist.
Moreover, after denying the exist
ence OF trusts it makes a record in the
way of fostering and protecting these
combines to the extent of thousands OF
millions of capital.
Discussing this matter, William j.
Bryan said recently in one of his east
ern speeches:
During the last three years you can
scarcely find republican who will de-
nounce trust. This is so because re-
publicans are in power and more trusts
have been organized during the last
three years than in the entire previous
history of the party.
IF you say anything to republican
now about the passage of a new law to
kill trusts, he tells you that we have
law that is broad enough to answer the
purpose, that you do not need a new
law. Then you point out trust and
ask him why the attorney general does
not destroy it, and he says the law
does not reach this case.
"Or you can take Mr.. Hanna, Who'll
said in the last campaign in speech
he made: First, There are no trusts
Then, The trusts are a necessary evo-
luton of business and finally, DO not
be afraid of the trusts; they cannot
harm you. If they're injurious, we
will take care of them
There is no good monopoly in pri-
vate hands, not until God sends us an
gels to take care of monopoly will it
be safe to trust them to private hands,
and from our experience we are in
clined to think that they come from be-
low, and not from above
But whatever Hanna may say, what
ever the lame logicians of the repub-
hcan party may say, the people know
that trusts exist. They know this, be-
cause they are robbed by the trusts.
Their pocketbooks are emptied by the
trusts. They face condition and not
a theory.
There are laws against trusts, which
would give some relief, but the republic
an party refuses to enforce them. There
should be stronger laws, and if the peo-
pie hope for relief they must elect
democratic executive who will approve
good laws and enforce them.-Chicago

WEBSTER'S EXPANSION VIEWS
The Position Which the Great States
man Took During the Mexi-
can War.

L am against all accessions of terri
tory to form new states And this is no
matter of sentimentality, which am to
parade before mass meetings or before
my constituents at home. >. 1t is a
matter of firm, unchang purpose. 1
yield nothing TO the force of circum-
stances that have occurred, or that l
can consider as likely to occur. .. l
resist to-day, and forever, and to the
end, any proposition to add any foreign
territory, south or west, north or east,
to the states of this union, as they are
constituted and held together under
the constitution. 1 do not want the
colonists of England on the north; and
as little do I want the population of
Mexico on the south. 1t is said we
must take territory for the sake of
peace. We must take territory. 1t is
the will of the president. ;. >. speak
of the president. as of all presidents,
without disrespect. 1 know of no rea-
son why his opinion. and his will, his
purpose. declared to be final, should
control US, any more than our purpose,
from equally conscientious motives,
and under as high responsibilities,
should control him. 1 say, sir,
that, according to my conscientious
conviction we are now fixing on the
constitution of the United States, and
its frame of government, a monstros-
ity, disiguration, an enormity.
Arbitrary government may have terri
tory and distant possessions, because
arbitrary government may rule them
by different laws and by different sys-
TENS. Russia may rule in the Ukraine,
and the provinces of the Caucasus, and
Kamchatka by different codes, or
dinances, or ukases. We can do no such
thing. They must be of US, part of US.
Or else strangers. 1 think see course
adopted which is likely to turn the con-
stitution of the land into a deformed
monster, into a curse rather than
blessing; in fact, frame of an unequal
government, not founded on popular
representation, not founded on equal
ity, but the grossest inequality; and
1 think that this process will go on, or
that there is danger that it will go on,
until this union shall fall to pieces 1

falters or whoever flies, continue the
contest!-From Webster's Speech in
