WOMEN IN TROUBLE.
The Approach Of Motherhood 70 the
Occasion Of Much Anxiety to All.

Occasion Of Much Anxiety to All.
Every woman breads the ordeal
through which she must pass In becom-
ing a mother. The pain and suffering
which is in store for her is q source OF
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The joyous
anticipations with which she looks for.
ward to baby's coming gives way TO an
indescribable dread OF the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and trying
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight Q
remedy which insures TO them i'm.
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to collaborating.
Such a remedy is now offered, and
women need not fear longer the hour OF
childbirth. "Mother's Friend"-is Q
scientific liniment-and IL used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with COM
parative ease and comfort. This Won
derful remedy is praised by every
woman who has used it.
What woman il not interested in
'Mother's Friend?" This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price,
less value proven by the experience OF
thousands of happy mothers who
have used it during the most critical
period of woman's life-the approach
/ and elimination of motherhood.
1t has won their everlasting praise,
for it gave them help and hope in
their most trying hour and when
most needed. Every woman may some
day need "Mother's Friend" The
| little book, Before Baby is Born"
telling all about it, and when it should
be used, will prove of great interest and
benefit to all expectant mothers, and
will be sent free to any address upon
application to the Bradiield Regulates

STRIKING AT PROSPERITY.
what Our Government Lost when
Democratic Free Trade
Was a. Force.

A business firm that would not learn
the unwisdom of con tinuing business
year after year at q loss, paying out
more money each year than they had
taken in, is certainly not capable of
transacting business with other peo-
Plies money. Their continuance in
business would be limited by the
amount Of the reserve capital or
thorough change in the methods of
methods under these conditions is
worse than foolhardy; II is criminal, and
must needs end in the sheriff closing
the doors and selling them out, or the
capitalists that have been making good
the losses placing other managers in
charge before bankruptcy put an end
to their career.
apply in government affairs that is
applicable to private business. A po-
litical party that is so short-sighted
as to wish to continue in that line has
no business in control Of government
finances.
The income Of the United States IN
three out Of four democratic years was
less than the expenditures of the gov
eminent, and that in time Of peace.
In 1893 we took in more than we paid
out-s2, 341, 674-but our public debt in
creased s7,77o.
In 1894 our expenditures exceeded
our income Ses, 500, 2eo, and our public
debt increased $4,000 100; in other
words we ran behind that year s119,-

In 1895 we paid out more than we
took in, s42, sos, 223, and our public
debt increased ss1, s.l7o. and ran be-

Commercial Expansion

A train of 40 cars loaded with 1000
tons of steel rails left Youngstown,
o., on the 9th inst. The rails are
bound for New Zealand, and will be
transmpped at New York.
The train bears a sign: Zone thou
sands tons Of steel rails going to New
Zealand" and another reading:
Protection, Prosperity and Prog
ress."
The train went over the Lake Shore
road, and is striking reply to the
Bryan doctrine that commercial en-
pansion is a crime, prosperity a myth
and that workmen are slaves.

hind that year S123, 1885, 1893.
In 1896, the year Mr.. Mckinley was
elected, we paid out in excess of our
income (the democratic Wilson law,
still the law at the custom houses),
s25, 2o3, 246, and our national debt was
increased $131, 161, 800, and we ran be-
hind s156, ,076.
While we were paying out more than
we were earning, mechanics wages
were getting lower and lower, and
more mechanics were losing their jobs
each year, while the mechanics and
mill hands in European workshops
were working night and day, supply
ing the American market, which our
wage-earners had been doing before
the democratic free trade Wilson law
was enacted.
If we apply the business test we can
see more clearly the bad effect of free
trade.
Suppose IL was a private firm or
trust that was spending each year more
than they were earning, and each year
piling up it's Indebtedness, and when
that fact came to the attention of the
parties who sold them raw material
or manufactured goods on credit, q
consultation would very soon lead to
the depreciation Of che credit of the
indebted firm, and ia paper would be
blaoklisted and its credit gone.
And yet, here we find the democratic
platform calling for an enlargement of
the free list. 1t Is blow at pro-
lection, and on par with the other
pretensions of the democratic party.
Experience does not teach them any
thing, and they cannot be trusted with

Gain of Over q Billion Dollars

with Those of Former Demo

The farmers are enjoying a remark
able era of prosperity under the re-
publican policy of protection at home
and trade expansion abroad, which
brings to the producing classes the
best sort of markets at home and in
lands across the sea.
Farm products in the United States
in 1900 are worth S1,2l2, 100000 more
than the same products were in 1896.
These figures are Official and are
from the United States department OF
agriculture.
The increase comes in more crops
and in the aggregate value of live stock
on the farms. The gain in farm wealth
is shown in the following table:
