Deafne.. Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
Cnly one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when 1t
is entirely closed. Deafness Is the result.
and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh which is nothing but an inaamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

WORTH 1T.

The Minneapolis Tribune says:
"The Philippines up to date have cost
us over 5000, ,OOO, 900, but they are worth
it."
In considering the merits of the Prilip-
pine war, The Tribune like all admins
tration organs ignores all considerations
except the one: What are the islands
worth?
This is the sordid, commercial. cold
cash view of the whole matter.
One very important factor connected
with this matter of cost and value is en-
tirely overlooked by all of these papers,
to-wit: The people pay these costs and
the trusts get the value
Yes, the islands may be worth to few
exploiting American capitalists all they
cost. but it is tough on the American
producers who foot the bills and do the
fighting.

LAWS ARE WRONG.

Tom Johnson, mayor Of Cleveland,
says our laws are made to let the
schemers skin the people and as long as
these laws are permitted to stand he
proposes to do his share of the skinning.
He points out the defects, the natural
consequences and considers he has then
performed his duty toward society.
The Dakota senators, Pettigrew.
Hansbrough and McCullum, are less
frank, but are in New York Saving
wood" 1t is reported that since the
adjournment Of congress each of these
three senators has made a good sized
fortune in Wall street speculation, from
tips given them by ]. j. Hill. Senators
get salary of $1,000 per year for serv-
ing their constituents. It would seem
quite natural that they should cherish q
warm feeling somewhere in their hearts
for the man who gives them tips worth
to them perhaps hundreds of thousands.
This warm feeling will manifest itself
about the time the ship subsidy bill
comes up. Can men be blamed for CIV
ing or receiving such tips? Is there
anything corrupt in such circumstances:
Doesn't warm friendship always flow
from kind acts? Can this be called un-
lawfully influencing legislation?
We all know results. This Is what oc-
ours at every session of congress. The
vote Of Western senators is needed to
secure fair divide of the $4,000, 900 per
annum subsidy In favor Of Pacific ship
ping.
1t was Western interests that pre-
vented the passage of the ship subsidy
bill last session until satisfactory d.
vision could be secured. These lucky
tips will go far to strengthen Western
interests. In either case the people
pay the freight" 1t is immaterial to
the people whether tlantic or Pacific
shippers tap the national strong box.
Direct legislation, the referendum
would render harmless these dangerous
tips. Warm feelings for generous tip
to a sovereign constituency The sub
sldy schemes would rarely bob up and
would never succeed. We should reform
our system of legislation to square with
human nature as it is. We must not ex-
pect of men the unnatural, the super
natural. If you would keep the wolves

OUR FORUr1
Let Up On Maben.

Editor Representative: For some
time past some writer's have given much
time and study to refute the theories of
money as expounded by Mr. C. B. Ma
ben. Now, have no objection to said
gentleman (Mr. Maben) airing his views
in the columns Of the Representative, as
they make excellent reading, viewed
from the standpoint of a colossal fable,
and l regard him as one of the greatest
jokers since the death of Louis XIV. s
court fool. who was the only man who
could humor to point Of laughter that
eccentric old humbug, Louis XIV, of
France. His quotations from gold bugs
are highly dramatic, as every one knows
that their interests are Numerically op-
posed to the interest of farmers and
laborers-the real producers of the
worlds wealth-and who. when this ma
tion was drenched with fraternal blood,
laid the foundation that has resulted in
the present deplorable condition Of the
American people.
Aristotle tells us that money exists
by law and not by nature; from barter
arose the use of money. and 1 presume
said gentleman knew of what he was
talking.
1t has been estimated that all the gold
| of the world would measure only a cube
effect, and for hungry man on a desert
o1A
trinsic value in the liver of rat.
The intrinsic value is not in the gold
it is in that which the gold will buy.
If he were discussing a question of theo-
| logy or morality and would appeal to
Belzebub, it would be just as reasonable.
How long! o, how long will it be be-
fore this intrinsic humbug can be driven
out of the heads of the American peo-
pie? The immortal Lincoln, in his mes
sage to congress, warned the people of
this, their greatest enemy, and some
writer's boldly declare that he then and
there sealed the fate that put out that
noble life.
AS in the history Of the world, avarice
has been the chief cause of the spil,ing
OF human blood. Had Lincoln lived,
how different would be our condition to-
day.
Now, am going to emphatically pro-
test against these gentlemen refuting
Mr. Maben's money views-as to refute
only gives them a semblance of doubt
and will only illuminate the ludicrous.
Now, Mr.. Maben, l am shortly going
to send to you for some evergreen seed,
and am also going to send to you for
instructions how to raise them. as I see
by the Representative you have them
for sale: In giving your instructions
how to raise them, don't quote from
Coke, Blackstone, or any of the legal
writer's. l see by the last issue of the
Representative that St. Croix county has
produced another crank besides our

he has the right stuff in him, although
his name is Dennis" Now, If we can

And was the man put out by this?
Quite the contrary. He drew from his
pocket a bunch OF tickets from which
he tore another one. which he now
thrust down deep In the hopper OF the
ticket-chOpper's box, and held there
until the machine had grippcd II.
Then. reaching into another pocket. he
drew forth another pair of eye glasses,
which seemed to be Just like those hs
had lost. Evidently. he was accus-

was pleased, apparently. that he had
not been blown away himself.-New
