Representative Corliss, Of

the election of senators and
president by popular vote,
brings in the following pat aph>
orism: " Lead US not into
temptaticn' says the Lords pray

pathway of the members of the

Of a senatorship snatched from
the hands of the people by corr
rupt means. Take from the leg
islature the selection of a United
States senator and you will de-
stroy one of the most potent
powers through which corporate
influence now holds it's sway.
The impression prevails that it
is as difficult for a poor man to
enter the senate of the United
States as for a rich man to enter
the Kingdom of Heaven. Give
the people the right proposed by
this amendment and you will

Salt was on the free list of the VII
son bill-in force from August %, 1894,
to July "a, 1897. Under the Mckinley
and Dingley bills the duty on salt in
bags or barrels was II cents and il
bulk 8 cents per 100 pounds. These
duties vary from 80 to 100 per cent
and will average about SO per cent.
Before salt was put on the free list,
the manufacturers appeared at Wash
ington declaring that such a proceed
ing would practically ruin the business.
Thus, Mr.. Thomas Molloy, Secretary of
the Onandaga Coarse Salt Association,
told the Senate Committee on Finance
that when salt shall be admitted free
Our even now struggling
industry shall be paralyzed or destroy
ed in an unequal competition with the
cheaper product of foreign cheaper la
Dor. We will then soon be made to pay
to the English Salt Union the price
which it exacts elsewhere"
Contrary to predictions, we both
produced and consumed more salt from
1895 to 1897 than ever before, as Is
shown by the following table of predic-
ton and imports:
ConsumptiOn of Salt in United States.

FEEL THE CHANGE.
Hundreds Voluntarily Endorse
a Springfield, Ohio, Product.
A Statement by a Well Known Cit
izen Who Has Found Great
Relief by Using 1t.

The time has come when people in
Wheeling feel the change. Many people
in this city lave given voluntary endorse
ment of the great change they have felt
after using Morrow's kid-ne-oids; the peo-
pie realize the good obtained by their use
and give hearty expression to the same.
Kid-ne-oids will cure a lame back. kid
ney backache, urinary and kidney disor-
ders, sleeplessness, restlessness and ner-
vousness. We ALWAYS like TO give refer
ence as to the Merits of Morrow's Kid-ne-
ODDS, and this time refer you to Mr.. VIM.
Stein, who lives at No. 453 Market street.

sleep was so broken that | would not get

feeling more tired in the morning than

friends to try Morrow's kid-ne-oids, and
after securing some at Chas. r.. Goethe S
drug store and taking them according to
directions | was greatly relieved. Mr..
Goethe guarantees them TO cure or will

Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are a great nerve
tonic, which acts on the nerves by restor-
ing them to their normal condition with
out artificial means. We warrant the rem
edy to do all that we claim if used as we
direct.
To confirm the statement of Mr.. Stein
we want you to ask him about Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids. He is a grateful man and
will be glad to tell you personally how
much he was benefited by their use. Do
not confound Morrow's Kid-ne-oids with
any kind of kidney pills; they are not
most scientific way Of preparing medicine.
and the purchasers of them should be
careful to see hat no other remedy is
substituted. They are put up in wooden
boxes which sell for SOC. at all druggists.

THE SCOTT CASE.
Ex-senator Faulkner Had to Answer
some Pertinent Questions.

No. -
some Pertinent Questions.
Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January U.s.
From time to time during the discus
sion of the N. B. Scott case, yesterday,
as ex-senator Faulkner talked he was
interrupted by Senators Hoar, Chand-
Ter, or Pettus, who asked somewhat dis
concerning questions.
IF" said one of the members of the
committee, 'it were proven that two Of
the members Of the joint assembly who
voted for Scott were boys and minors,
of tender age you still maintain that
the United States Senate should not go
back of the returns?"
Even in such an extreme case,
should say that the Senate has no right
to raise this question:" was the an
swer.
Several searching questions from
Judge st. Clair, and from Judge Holt
served to make the hour and halt
speech of SCOTS counsel a not alto
gether improbable time for the case
of the remonstrants.
In closing the case, Mr.. McGraw's
counsel dwelt for a half hour on the
points elucidated in the opening state
ment by Judge Holt. The ease is now
in the hands of the committee.
Some consultation must be held

furnaces which have been running for
thirty years.
The United Salt Company, an Ohio
corporation of 1890, appears to have
been the local trust which, prepared
the way for the National Company.
Both of these organizations are said
to be oficered by Standard Oil people
and to be, practically, adjuncts of the
Standard Oil trust. The headquarters
at New York are in the building of
the Standard Oil Company and Stand
ard Oil attorneys in Ohio are defend
ing the National Salt Company.
The National Salt Company now has
a natural monopoly in many of the
inland States and an artificial tariff
monopoly in many of the coast
States. 1t has only recently begun to
limit production and to put up prices
in the middle and western States. 1t
will undoubtedly soon put up prices
to what it considers the maximum
profit point. 1t is said to have had
an understanding" with the Salt
Union, which controls much of Great
Britain,s product. 1T is difficult to
verify this statement, although New
York salt importers admit that there
are friendly relations of some kind
Lo4-,oo, 4boeo oroo v;1of;oDc
Our imported salt comes principally
from Great Britain, West Indies and
Italy. The cost of transportation
from Liverpool averages about $1.6O
per ton, or 20 cents per barrel. This
added to the duty gives our manufac-
turers an advantage in our markets
of about 20 cents per 100 pounds, or
so cents per barrel. This advantage
is less to the coast and greater inland.
If our trust, as now seems probable,
gets what is virtually a complete
monopoly, there is no reason why it
cannot, by charging higher prices in
land, collect the whole tariff tax on
all of it's product. This would amount
to $4,000, 900 or IS, 900, 900 a year. 1t
is probably collecting half this amount
at present.
The only classes who have thus far
avoided the trust are our fish packers
and our exporters of meats. These
enjoy the special privilege Of getting
their salt free and cheap. Is there
any sound reason why others should
be compelled to pay tribute to this
trust? BYRON W. HOLT.
