II Happened in a Drug store.


"One day last winter lady came
to my drug store and asked for a
brand of cough medicine that did
not have in stock" says Mr.. G. R.
Grandin, the popular druggist of On
tario, N. Y. "She was disappointed
and wanted to know whit cough prep
aration | could recommend. / said
to her that | could freely recommend
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
that she could take bottle of the
remedy and after giving it fair trial
if she did not find it worth the money
to bring back the bottle and would
refund the price paid. In the course
of day or two the, lady came back
in company with a friend in need Of
cough medicine and advised her to
buy Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
consider that very good recommen-
dation for the remedy" The. remedy
owes its great popularity and extern
sive sale in a large measure to the
personal recommendation of people
who have been cured by its use. 1t

HOPE OF PEACE IN THE CAPE

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 13.-The joint
convention of anthracite miners again
went into executive session this morn
ing. 1t is believed the convention will
get through work tonight. No def
mite plan has been decided upon as far
as could be learned. In regard to the
operators offer of wage advance, two
plans have been suggested, one that
the whole matter be left to a commit
tee, and the other that the national
officers be instructed to find solution
for the complicated problem.
w. T. Ryan, secretary and treasurer
of the United Mine workers of Illi-
nois, addressed the convention and in
formed the delegates that the bitumi-
nous miners were willing to render
them financial aid.

UP OR DOWN-WIG OR WAC.

A Republican convention in Ohio
last week nominated G. H. Grosvenor
for another term in congress. The
platform Endorsed "McKinley's ideas"
on the Philippine and Puerto Rico
questions. This is very embarrassing
it leaves us all in doubt-we do not
know whether it indorses the presi-
dents declaration that forcible anneXa-
ton would be criminal aggression or
his more recent ideas of Imperialism
we are in doubt whether our "plain
duty" is to give the Puerto Ricans
free trade or Is per cent tariff. 1t is
mighty hard to indorse Mckinley, for
he changes so fast that the Lord only
knows where he is at" on any given
question at any given time. A resolu-
ton like this would have expressed the
ideas of that convention more clearly.
Resolved, That we will follow the pres
ident right or wrong, that we will
change our minds every time he does,
and when he says thumbs up our
thumbs will go up, and when he says
wig wag, we will wig-wag with all our
might.

~OPULISM IN ENGLAND.

We invite the attention Of our con-
servative friends who regarded Demo-
Gratis as anarchists because they tried
in the Wilson law to impose tax of z
per cent on the incomes Of persons
who would never miss the money, to
the arrangements by which England is
preparing to finance the present war.
The backbone of the fiscal policy for
mulated by Sir Michael Hicks-Beach Is
an increase of the income tax from 8
pence to shilling in the pound. The
former rate was 1-3 per cent. The
new one is per cent. Hereafter a
man with an income of 100000 year
will pay $4,000 of 1t to the British gov
eminent in the way of income tax, in
addition to all his contributions In
other forms of taxation. A man with
an income of $1,OOO,O0O will pay $780,
900. If Mr.. w. w. Astor draws reve-
nue. Of $5,OO0,000 year from his New
York rents he will pay the British
$3.50, in addition to his taxes in
New York.
Mr.. AStOr gave up MS American cltl-
zenship because we asked him to pay
taxes of about 2 per cent on personal
assessment of 81 100000, or say, $4,000
year. England makes him pay 5 per
cent on an annual income of $5,000,0OO
or more, or at least $250,000 year.
England also collects over $4,5O0,O0O
in Q single lump from the estate of
another millionaire-also an American,
by the way, and one whom we would
not consider very rich in this country.
That is enough. as Sir Michael Hicks
Beach reminded the house, to build
battleship. And he was complimented
by his opponents on his admirable fl
nance. Are both parties in England
led by rampant Populists?-NewY York

PRINCIPLE MUST STAND.

Gen. Weaver, who was in the city a
few days ago and who was the Populist
candidate for the presidency in 1892, Is
quoted reliably as saying that the sill
yer issue could be subordinated until
1902, when the matter could be passed
upon in the various state and congress
sional conventions. Neither Mr.
Weaver nor any Of the proponents Of
the silver elimination plan desire to be
understood as encouraging a repudia-
ton of the Chicago platform Of 1896
Washington Correspondent.
Again is repeated the old, old story;
again the little tail is trying to wag
the big dog-again, the $4,000 desert
ers of 1896 are trying to govern the
six million and half of loyal men.
Those who think the gold-bug Demo-
Gratis have given up their fight against
Bryan are mistaken, and if they don't
look out they will yet get mess OF
poor potage and lose birthright. They
will try to beat Bryan under the two
thirds rule and failing in that they
will emasculate the platform. The
above clipping Is an insult to every
Populist in the land. Does the corre-
spondent think that he can make lis
believe that Gen. Weaver will abandon
any plank of the peoples platform?
He has been tried too long and has
proved too faithful for anybody to be-
lieve that he would turn traitor Or
coward in his old age. The whole
statement about Weaver Is false, and
the correspondent is a malignant liar.
From other sources, however, we
have learned that the disgraceful
Democrats that voted for Mckinley,
or Palmer and Buckner, are very ac-
tive against Bryan and the reform
platform. 1t Is a still hunt and is all
the more dangerous on that account.
Some of the subsidized newspapers are
saying that the Republicans can easily
be beaten If free silver, public owner
ship. government money and direct
legislation are abandoned. What hon
est Popullst cares a continental wheth
er Mckinley or Bryan wins, If success

From Springfield Republican: ut Is
not from economics in production or
distribution that the Standard OIL trust
declares a quarterly dividend of 20 per
cent, or at the rate Of 80 per cent a
year. 1t is from extortions clearly and
boldly imposed on the people. The
price Of oil has been advanced within
a few months to an extent which in
wolves an increase of 80 per cent or
more in the retail price, and that there
was no legitimate cause for this in
crease is shown by the extraordinary
dividend just declared. The enorm-
GUS profit of 33 per cent on the stock
last year-following dividends Of 30
per cent in 1898 and SO per cent in
1S97-was not enough, and so the pub
lie is commanded to stand forth and
deliver up price for oil which will
yield still larger dividends. The value
Of the company's stock is now $344 a
share of the par value of $500. Since
the increase in the price of oil to con-
sumers the stock has advanced some
s100 in value. This Is not business.
1t is downright robbery.

M'KiNLEY SUMMED UP.

indianapolis Sentinel: There he
stands-look at him-the president OF
the United States-a poor, weak, vacil-

mind from one hour to another, on
both sides of great question at the
same moment; now trembling before
the storm of public indignation, anon
quaking in terror before the frowns
and threats of the trusts to which he
owes his office; blowing hot and blow
ing cold, agreeing ever with the last
conner, imploring his party to do some
thing, anything, it matters not what,
and promising to stand for it, whatever
it may be-what an inspiring figure he
presents, to be sure!
Shades of Franklin Pierce and Ruth
erford B. Hayes! In your day men

giants-what prodigies of moral cour-
age and mental force-you were, COM

The Chicago Chronicle without visi-
BILE means of supporD is one of the
most radical gold-bug organs in Ameri-
ca. 1t has been positively mean IN
that behalf. 1t is therefore refreshing
to see few CLEANS of common sense
shining out of the darkness Of its ig-
norance and prejudice. In comment
ing on the last financial bill in refer
ence to its provision for an increase OF
bank currency it says: rs this in
crease in response to any business
need? Not bit of it. 1t Ia simply
and solely because congress has in
creased the profits arising from note
issues by purely arbitrary piece OF
legislation. There is not the first sug-
gestion of automatic adjustment in the
business. Now, the people are not
lot of simpletons who are incapable Of
seeing through the elasticity humbug.
They understand it very well. There
fore they know that this bank curren-
cy is not one whit better than currency
issued by the treasury. They know
that If the country needs three or four
hundred millions more paper money it
would be to their interest to have the
government issue it and save the in
terest on the same amount Of bonds.
They do not see any necessity for put
ting a premium on bank imitation and
paying interest for thirty years on
some hundreds of millions of bonds in
order that banks may make profit on
note issue which the business interests
of the country do not at all require
Angels and ministers of grace defend
us! Has the Chronicle joined the
Pops? 1t certainly looks like it. It
proposes that when the government
needs more paper money the govern
ment should issue and save interest
on bonds, not a small amount either,
but three or four hundred millions.
Greenbacks-fiat money-irredeemable

A FABLE OF "cIvILIzATIoN."

A Disinterested Citizen, passing a
certain house, heard sounds of tumult
from within and entered. He saw the
Householder barricaded behind a pile
of furniture and defending himself
from the onset of five hurley bravos
How now" said the Disinterested
Citizen. What have we here?"
"These five men," replied the House
holder, "have come in off the street
and propose to eject me from my house
and take possession of it and all that
therein is"
Can this be true?" inquired the
Disinterested Citizen of him who SEEM
ed to be the leader of the braves, and
who was curiously decorated with a
single eyeglass.
"Mere sophistry," answered he Of
the monocle 1--WE are civilization.
This householder is barbarism. He
has managed his household badly and
is unworthy to have charge of any
thing. We are going to take his prop
erty away from him and administer it
with wisdom, Of which We possess Il
large store"

that these robbers go with me to court
and allow a peaceable and impartial
judgment"

great shout of derision and resumed

And this, too, produced by only that
portion Of the population engaged in
the sugar production! If we eliminate
from the population those not engaged
in the sugar industry, 1t would leave
for the workers, the real producers, an
annual income Of more than $4,000 a
year! And that, too, in this unskilled
labor! The income of one of these
producers who Is creating more than
$4,000 year is about SIS year!
These are the official figures taken
from the Wall Street Ticker Of Dec.
IL. The population Of the islands is
100000. There are many other things
produced there which add greatly to
the per capita wealth created, but 1t Is
all absorbed by the schemers who have
cunningly deceived the masses and
possessed themselves Of the wealth.
And the same condition exists in the
United States as exists there. That is

treachery? 1t is principle and not men
we vote for. If Bryan shall be nomi-
mated by the allied parties on radi-
cal reform platform most Populists
will vote for him because they believe
he is an honest man and will faithfully
perform that which he promises, but If
those gold-bug eastern Democrats
think they can get the Populist vote
for Bryan or any other Democrat on
Cleveland platform they are awfully
mistaken.
The Chicago Chronicle and other
gold-bug papers are advocating that
the delegates to the Democratic con-
vention be sent without instruction.
The object of this is to steal the con-
vention by fraud, chicanery or bribery
and thus kill Bryan or take all the
virtue out of his platform. These fell
lows do not want to beat Mckinley;
he suits them better than Bryan
would. They elected him before and
they are doing their Lest to elect him
again. The Nonconformist has no
hesitancy in saying that if the candi-
date and the platform are not both
satisfactory it will bolt the whole con-
Germ and start little fight for God
and humanity on its own hook

who suggested that the producer
should have the products of his toll?

than two and a half tons for each man,
