The wise, up-to-date, modern doctor
is no longer tied down to hard and fast
rules of what his medical books say
he shall use and what he may with
hold in treating his patient.
The successful doctor nowadays is
the one who is quick to avail himself
of any remedy. new or old which holds

er it is Allopathic. Homeopathic or

women to whom money is always due
and who are entitled, if anybody in

A working man, no matter what his

Whether man works by the day, by

A Chicago lawyer, Lloyd Jones, who
appears to be more careful student
or less reckless dealer in quotations
than the second Lincoln" has taken
the latter in hand and pointed out that
some of his citations from Abraham
Lincoln were badly garbled, while
some of the others were not uttered
by Lincoln. For example. Mr.. Bryan
said: 'In 1859 Lincoln said that the
republican party believed in the man
and the dollar, but in the case of con-
f1,ct it believed in the man before the
dollar" The Chicago lawyer points
out that Mr.. Lincoln never said any
thing of the kind in 1853, but that in
1860. when arguing that the traffic
in slaves was inherently wrong, MT.
Lincoln said he did not believe In
weighing the dollar before human
Iife." Mr.. Bryan's quotation from
Lincoln as saying, "Can aliens make
treaties easier than friends can make
laws?" Mr.. Jones declares, was never
spoken by Lincoln, but was the Ian
guage of Napolean Bonaparte after
the battle of Marengo. Another Of
Mr.. Bryan's alleged quotations from
Lincoln, that "the safety of this ma
ton is not in its fleets, it's armies, Its
forts, but in the spirit which prizes
liberty the heritage of all men, etc,
is declared to be in reality a garbled
quotation from Daniel Webster's
speech on Education" Numerous
other similar instances of garbllng are
given by Mr.. Jones.

From one-third to one-fourth OF

candy, according to statement which
has been made by one of the leading
authorities in the glucose trade, The
prosperity in the candy trade, which
is directly responsible for such an
enormous part of last years great
consumption of glucose, and the alb
sorption at good prices of big por-
ton of the crop of the corn growers
of the west, was directly due to The
general prosperity. When the mills
are closed, ana the workman cannot

which there is no demand. With
the prosperity that set in after the
election of Mckinley, candy soon
found it's way into the homes OF
workingmen, just like gold at the
same time found its way into the
channels of money circulation.

FUEL FOR THE WORLD.

Exports of coal from the United
States during the year 1900 are likely
to reach $20,000,000 in value, against
$10,OO0,O00 in 1896 and $6,000,000 in
1890. The figures of the treasury bu-
reau of statistics show that the ex-
ports of coal from the United States
during the seven months ending with
July, 1900, are SO per cent in excess or
those during the corresponding months
of last year and double those of the
corresponding months of 1898. In the
seven months ending with July, 1898,
the exports of coal from the United
States were 2,375 ,451 tons; in the same
months of 1899 they were 3,006,0 82
tons, and in the corresponding months
of 1900 they were 4,601,7 55 tons. Dur
ing the period from 1890 to 1900 the
expectation of coal from the United
states has quadrupled, but the princi-
pal growth has been in the years 1898,
1899 and 1900 While this growth is
of the world, it is especially marked
with reference to our exports to the
American countries. To British North
America the exports in the seven
months of 1898 were 1,7SS,398 tons and
in the seven months of 1900, 3,253,803
tons. To Mexico the exports in the
seven months of 1898 were 243,-
93S tons and in the corresponding
months of 1900, 415,s34 tons. To Cuba
the exports have more than doubled,
being in the seven months of 1898,
114.655 tons and in the seven months
of 1900, 241,712 tons; while to Porto
Rico the exports increased from 2,621
tons in the seven months of 1893 to
1913 tons in seven months of 1900.
To the Hawaiian Islands, the exports
of the seven months of 1899 were TO-
3S1 tons and in the corresponding
months of 1900, 21,001 tons, thus more
than doubling in a single year. To the
Philippine Islands the exports in the
seven months of 1898 were 1910 tons
and in the seven months of 1900, A.
06S tons, or eight times as much in
1900 as in 1898.
The experiments with American coal
which the Europeans have made with
in the last two or three years seem to
have proved successful, as the exports
to Europe, which in the seven months
of 1898 amounted to only 4,507 tons,
were in the corresponding months of
1900, 27S,572 tons. OF this, 1877 tons
went to the United Kingdom, 4,028
tons to Germany, II, 407 tons to France
and 196,950 to other European coun-
tries.

THE CREDITOR.

The silver orators from Bryan
down are never tired of reiter-
ating that the gold standard is
established solely in the interest
OF the creditor class, who want
whatever is due them paid in
the best and highest kind of money.
< They assume that the debtor class is
the poor who owe money, and that
the creditor class is the rich to whom
money is always due. On this ground
they endeavor to foment hatred and
bitterness among the poor against the
rich, and to array class against class
and employe against employer. To
stir up such jealousies and hatreds
opens the road to anarchy, and an
archy leads to the destruction of gov
eminent.
But it is not true that the poor are
the debtor class, and the rich the
creditor class. AS a matter of fact
the great majority of people belong to
both classes, having money coming to
them from one direction and having
to pay 1t out in another. 1t is, there
fore, difficult to- draw any hard and
fast line to separate the debtors from
the creditors But If there is cred
itor class in this country, a set of peo-
pie to whom. that designation is Pc
culiarly applicable, it is not composed
OF the men who handle large sums of
money and who are engaged in carry.
Ing on great enterprises. They, for
the most part, are debtors.
The real creditor class is composed
of workingmen and women, of en-
ployes In every walk of business, OF

Bad Results in the Navy.

Burlington Gazette: Moved by a
sort of anti-canteen spirit, the navy
department recently prohibited the
sale of beer to the men on board
ship in the federal navy. The imme-
diate results have been, as officially
reported, a great increase in drunk.
enness of men on shore, marked
stimulous to the smuggling of strong
LIQUORS on board, and persistent and
wholesale thefts of the alcohol in the
store rooms Of naval vessels. The
men get stronger and viler liquor,
and their health and efficiency are
put in greater jeopardy, but the beer
keg is banished. and temperance re-
formers rejoice. 1t will not be long
before Uncle Sans navy will be
pointed out with pride as a model
for the canteen-ridden military es-
Enlistment to copy after. Only let
appearances be outwardly fair, and
it makes little difference what dead

hidden within.
