Many more negroes, it is said, will be

San Francisco, Aug. 2.-An early set
tlement of the trouble between the EN-
ployers' association and the City Front
federation now seems probable, and an
early end of the strike is anticipated.
The labor leaders and prominent mer-
chants are alike hopeful that peace will
speedily be restored and that on Mon
day the striking workers will return to
their former employment.
Mayor Phelan has In his possession
letter from the City Front federation
asking for more light upon some fea-

Whatever decision may be reached

II there is any truth in the saying
that happiness is the absence of all
pain, mental and physical, the enjoy
ment of 1t can only be found in hea-
ven- But so far as the physical is con-
cerned, it is within easy reach; at
least measurably SO. as far as cure will
go. The sum of human misery in this
line is made up of greater or less de-
grees of physical suffering. The minor
aches and pains which aff1ict mankind
are easy to reach and as easily cured.
There are none in the whole category,
which, If taken in time, cannot be
cured. They must in. some form af-
fict the nerves, the bones, the muscles
and joints of the human body. They
are all more or less hurtful and waste
full to the system. ST. Jacobs Oil is
made to cure them, to search out hid
den pain spots, and to cure promptly
in a true remedial and lasting way
Very, very many have not known hap
piness for years till they used it, and
very many are putting off cure and
happiness because they don't use it.

sian reprisa1s- The Austrian govern
ment, through its prime minister, has

FARMERS PROTECTION.
He LIS Best or with Nearby Market
for His Produce.

He Is Best on with a Nearby Market
for His Produce.
It is the stock argument of the free
traders that protection is of all things
inimical to the interests of the farmer.
They grudgingly concede that the
manufacturing industries thrive under
protection, but they point to the trusts
as the legitimate result of the protec-
tive policy, unwilling or unable to see
that the relation of protection to the
trusts is simply this: Protection al
lows American industries to exist. The
trusts, SO far as they are hostile to the
general good, are abuses of this con-
dition, not it's legitimate or intended
effect. The remedy for any evil caus-
ed by the trusts is not free trade, but
regulation. Under free trade there
possibly would not be any trusts.
There wouldn't be much business of
any kind.
Amputation of everybody's legs is
not the most sensible remedy for the
habit OF kicking people. Legs can be
regulated without being taken off and
especially without depriving the limo
cent of something to stand on.
The free traders have always con-
tended that the farmers didn't need
anything to stand on, and lots Of
farmers honestly believe they would be
better off without protection. What
do they think of Germany's agrarian
tariff, designed to protect the German
farmer by the imposition of heavy
duties? If protection helps the Ger
man farmer, why not the American?
OF course, the protection afforded is
different in kind, but the same in eff
feet. This country doesn't import
farm products and Germany does.
The American farmer is not in need OF
protection, except in isolated cases
from neighboring countries, from COM
petition in his own products. But
when the workingman has no wages
he has no flour and meat and vege-
tables, and that's what the farmer has
to sell and he doesn't want to depend
too much upon the foreign market for
his sales.
The peculiar speciousness of the
free trade argument lies in its appeal
to class cupldity. The prosperity of
each class depends upon that of all.
Wheat at 81 and corn at rs cents on
the other side of the globe may appear
an ideal condition from the farmers
view. But it is much better to have
81 wheat and 50-cent corn with money
in the pocket of the American con-
sumner to buy it.-Kansas City Journal
