Money Question The W4
YW Chief Trust Question.

Detroit, Mich, July j.-"This
talk of reorganizing the National
Democratic party said George
Fred Williams of Massachusetts,
is the verieSt bosh. Don't You
remember in 1896 YOU heard the
same kind of talk \ few politi-
clans in the cities made all the
noise then. The same men are
making it now. The election here
and there in the cities of rene
gadcs To aid III Spoils getting has
no bearing on the general situa-
ton. The people are with the
men III the party'S control. They
will stay with them. They got
suspicious of the politicians in the
cities, YOU remember, in 1900, and
they instructed delegates. The
politicians would have betrayed
the party at Kansas City had it
not been for the instructions.
You could see they were for
Hill, but they stayed with Bryan.
Not one of them dared go home II
traitor. Wen fix 'cm that way
the next time.
Then Mr.. Bryan is still the
leader"
The moral if not the political
leader. He will always hr the
moral leader III the party. For
the principles he stands for are
eternal.
Including free silver"
Including the money question.
The great battle of the coming
campaign will be against the
trusts. In some form or other
the trusts enter into every great
question before the American pco.
pie. The money question is one
of the trust questions. consider
1t the primary question in conncc-
ton with the trusts. Trust in
money is trust III the medium of
all commercial exchange and the
trust that controls the money mar
kct controls the commerce of the
country. The larger the volume
of money the harder it is to con
troll it, but with control of the
means of ISSUE, volume is also reg
ulatcd to suit the trust. SO say
the money question is still the
most important question that CON
fronts us. SO long as money is
issued thru national banks the

trusts will have control. Sccre-
tary Gage once told me, when |
was discussing with him the iniq.
uitous financial law he devised to
give the banks still further grasp
on the money of the country, that
he did not think it wise to let the
people have control of the money
issue. 1t should be in the hands
of expert tinancicrs. You remem.
her the raid on the Flower Brady
and copper stocks. The money
trust put on the screws and they
forced Flower and Brady stocks
down and down, away below their
value. They went to Boston and
demanded that copper stock be
sold TO them at 80. No, they
said, It's worth 2jO if it is worth
II cent All right. Sell mt $50
or we will ruin YOU. And they
did They forced panic, as they
had done in New York. They
tied up bankers by intimidation.
Lend these people money and we
crush you, they said. And they
could have done it. They got con
troll of copper. llow' Because
they had control of money"
"Thcn Mr.. Bryan will be the
man again, if the money question
is uppermost!"
Not necessarily. There are
plenty of men who are right on
the money issue and all the issues
which go hand in hand with it.
The trust is the issue in one form
or another. Imperialism is the
trust crossed the border. The on
ly enemy of equality before the
law is the trust. The initiative
and the referendum, the origin and
approval of legislation by the pco-
pie, is one means of getting at the
trust, which owns the present ma.
rhinery of government. Public
ownership of utilities is another
means of getting at trusts. The
American people are passing thru
AN era of education. The Rocke.
fcllcrs, the Morgans, the Carmc.
gics, the Whitncys are showing
them what they ought to do. They
are ready to do it, not thru third
party, but thru the Democratic
party which is still the party of
popular government and ever will

We meet today to celebrate the
10th anniversary of our start as

seven years and eight months to
achieve their independence, and
today we boast the greatest repub-
lie on the globe. 1t is well that
their children celebrate.
The first Fourth of July cele =
bration held in this part of Mis-

stable, sufficient supply of pure water
and wholesome food for the cows.
No dairyman should be so negligent
as to be responsible for the trans
mission of disease through the sale
of milk for the want of cleanliness.

EFFICACIOUS REMEDY.
The Schmidt Treatment for Milk
Fever Has Reen Tested with
Success in Denmark.

The Schmidt treatment for milk fe-
YER in cattle has resulted in remark
able number of recoveries, reports
from 107 veterinarians showing Sc
per cent. DR.. Schmidt, of Denmark,
assumes the disease to be due to the
elaboration of a toxin in the udder.
The treatment is simple, within the
reach of all dairymen.
Dissolve 120 grains iodide of potash
in one quart of water, which has been
boiled, and allowed to cool to about the
tempera ture of the body Introduce
funnel and pipette into the ends of
rubber tube and place in bucket of
antiseptic fluid. Milk the udder dry;
then place under the cow piece of oil
cloth about yard square, so that the
udder will be about the middle of the
cloth. Wash the udder and teats thor
oughly with CASTLE soap and warm
water, rinsing carefully with antisep-
tic fluid. Insert the pipette into the
end of teat and fill the funnel with
iodide of potash solution. By pass
ing successfully from one teat to an
other distribute the solution equally
among the quarters of the udder. Rub
the udder from the teat toward the
body and massage thoroughly in or
der to distribute the solution through
out. Eight or ten hours after the in
lection, or when recovery is assured,
the udder should be carefully MIXED
out and then bathed with warm wa
ter, about 100 degrees F. A second
injection is rarely necessary, but if so,
it should be done at the end of six
or eight hours. If there should be
tendency toward hardness Of the I'D
der or "stringiness" of the milk, baths
of warm water should be applied every
three or four hours until relieved. If
neglected garget will result. AS
preventive measure it is advisable to
.estrict robust animals to moderate
allowance of dry food for seven or ten
days previous to the end of their
term; and where there is a tendency
toward costiveness or constipation,
correct it with a drench of epson
salts.-Prof. S. S. Buckley, Maryland
