Crust TRUST THE PRESIDENT
A New Danger Has Arisen to Threaten
The Liberty Of the People.

A new, dangerous and malignan
trust has been gradually forming in this
country-a trust which is putting int
the hands of "set OF scoundrels" the
power to enslave the people and sap
the foundations of our republican insti-
tutions.
This new trust is called "Irust the
President"
Is it not about time for the people
to cease trusting the President on mat
tiers not belonging to his Office?
From the beginning of the Spanish
war there has been weak disposition
en- the part of Congress to trust to the
President in matters which it should
perform. Millions of money has been
appropriated without specifically stat
ing the uses TO which they should be
applied, and with this remark from our
Congressman: "Oh, trust that to the
President" Time and again necessary
legislation should have been enacted
relating to the regular Ond volunteer
army, but with no mora definite direc-
ton than ooh, trust that to the Presi-
dent"
This careless indifference and txhi-
bition Of confidence on the part of
Congress has augmented the power of
.he executive until the President-qnd
Mark Hanna, of course-have conclud-
hat every function Of government is
deposited in the White House or at |
Canton, or wherever the gadabout gov
at the time may be stopping, |

DEMAND For CNPPER.

In our last issue att antion was called to th,
great growth Of copper production, This
production, however, has not equaed the
demand, which is so great that al reserve
products IN this country and in Europe are
exhausted. Notwithstanding the great in.
crease in the price OF copper during the past
two years, the production has increased but
about 10 per cent per annum and the con-
sumption in greater ratio resulting In the
complete exhaustion OF reserves as stated.
The'capacity of the great copper mines OF
the lake and other regions Of the United
States are taxed to their utmost. There is
Immediately south Of us, in our neighborlng
Republic OF Mexico, some Of the greatest
copper deposits In the world--rich in silver,
and gold too-they are being rapidly alb
sorbed by American and foreign capital
many million dollars having been invested
therein within the past two years The
superior advantages that Mexico affords for
profitable mining are becoming known and
appreciated, In the richest part OF the
copper belt OF Mexico, the Mines Of Ell Pro- |
greso Copper Mining ompany, whose adj |
vertisement appears In this Issue, are stu |
ated. In the line of profitable Investment !
nothing better could be desired, and as tho /
policy Is not to limit investments !
to large sums, but rather to invite the co
operation of all, 1t is hoped that lAany will |
avail themselves Of the opportunity pre-
sented,

COLD STEEL OR DEATH.

"There is but one small chance t.
save your life and that is through an
operation" was the awful prospect set
before Mrs. I. B. Hunt, of Lime Ridge,
Wis, by her doctor after vainly trying
to cure her of frightful case of sto-
mach trouble and yellow jaundice. He
didn't count on the marvellous power of
Electric Bitters to cure Stomach and
Liver troubles, but she heard of it,
took seven bottles, was wholly cured,
avoided surgeons knife, now weighs
more and feels better than ever. It's
positively guaranteed to cure Stomach,
Liver and Kidney troubles and never
disappoints. Price SOC at all drug
gists.

CROKER AS A FORECASTER,
Says Bryan Will Carry New York,
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois.

Says Bryan Will Carry New York
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois.
A special to the Philadelphia Record
from New York city says:
The following predictions were made
by Richard Croker today at Demo.
cratic headquarters.
New York will give Bryan 10000
plurality at the very least.
Anybody on the Democratic Guber-
material ticket can carry New York
this year,
Bryan will surely carry Indiana.
Ohio will go Democratic.
Illinois will go Democratic.
The trust question will do IT. No
one is afraid of Bryan this year. They
fear the trusts.
One-man power is the danger. I'm
perialism and trusts are it's expression.
Employers will vote 10 strengthen
trusts, but employees will vote against
them.
Bryan's election is certainty.

THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSION.


Manila, Sept. 10.-The Philippine
commission, at its first public session
to be held next Wednesday, will dis
cuss the appropriation of one-third OF
the treasury's $6,0OO,0oO for the con-
struction and repair Of roads and
bridges throughout the archipelago.
The people profess to be much graft
fed at the prospect of this work OF
development.
The revenue authorities OF Manila
collect under the Spanish laws tax
of five per cent. upon the salaries OF
American civilians earning $500 per
annum and upward The tax is UNI
popular and provokes protests among
them. The Filipinos and foreigners,
who are used to it, do not except to
the levy.
