And He Never Took Hold Again. !"

Some ten or twelve years ago a lady in
this State was suffering from severe
hemorrnage of the womb. For years she
had been subject to almost continuous
flow, and at last she got into so low
condition that she was confined to the
bed. All efforts of the doctors failed to
check 1t, and finally two of the leading
physicians of her locality pronounced the
case cancerous. Her prostration was
great, and nothing seemed to reach her
case. One of her neighbors insisted on
her trying my Remedy and Wash. This
she would not do until she had consulted
her doctor. His reply was, when Mrs.
Person takes hold, we turn loose; when
she turns loose, we take hold" However
she concluded to try it. Without letting
anyone into the secret she used my
wash copiously A great improvement
soon set in, and by it's continued use she
"2s soon well. She has been cured all
these years, and says she can never say

SOME FACTS ABOUT TRUSTS.

Mark Hanna declared that there
were not trusts. Senator SewelI, of
New Jersey; Frye, of Maine, and
others took up the chorus mo trusts
they are, like Imperialism, buga-
boo.''
AS the late Mr.. Sherlock Holmes
would say, Lets see." Are there or
are there not huge combinations that
have destroyed competition, driven out
of business many firms and individ-
uals, fixed their own extortionate prices
which the public have been compelled
to pay, thrown thousands of workers
out of employment by shutting down
large manufacturing plants and fixed
their own rate of wages for those
they still retain in employment?
In another column we today reprint
from the Philadelphia Times some I'M
answerable proofs that there are such
combinations and that they have
multiplied as never before under the
protecting arm of the present Repub-
lican administration. The list con-
tains only the names of the corpora
tons with ten millions of capital and
upwards, chartered by the State of
New Jersey alone since Mr.. Mckinley
became President. The aggregate cap
italization of this list of 1913 corpora
tons reaches the astonishing sum Of
$685., 025, 900, or more than three times
the total national debt and twice the
amount of gold, silver and paper cur
rency in the country.
Every voter should, in the interest
of political truth and equity, give this
article careful perusal and then de-
eide for himself whether Mark Han
mas fippant assertion that there are
no trusts" is true. The list of New
Jersey charters which are given in de
tail, with the date of incorporation
and the authorized capital of each,
astounding as it is in it's total capital
ization, represents only fraction of
the trust organizations of the country.
Delaware, West Virginia, California
and other States with easy corpora
ton laws are turning out new trust
charters almost daily and the entire
trust capitalization of the country
probably aggregates ten billions in
Of ha II hoI hi
shown oy the New Jersey charters is
sued since Mckinley became Presi-
dent.
The honest seeker for truth will find
that not one of these vast combina-
tons calls itself trust, and therein
lies the only grain of truth in Han
mas statement. But what matters it
to the man that is being mashed to
death, whether it is a trip. hammer
suit is the same These combinations
may not be called trusts but their
power of extortion is none the less
great for that. The popular interest
IN the stupendous figures given lies in
the hard fact that seyenty-fve mill
lions of American people must, by
hook or by crook, pay the dividends
upon the enormous trust capital, and
that q little handful of trust share
owners get the dividends. The trusts
levy their rake off upon the food,
drink, clothing, furniture, literature,
recreation and religion of
the masses of the people and Republi
can legislation and Republican officials
and politicians help to make the extor-
ton possible.
Under such conditions it is hard to
see how any man can hesitate as to
how he will cast his ballot in the cleo
ton next month.

OF a Napoleon who would usurp Washing

That his hopes are all conferred in full

Have the tolers been reduced to the ranks
Of the kline?
Has his wants been canned as the trust

Must his needs be weighed on an apothe-

Lest his reward be more than full dinner
