SLIGHTLY HIGHER AT CLOSE

New York, February 25.-The cotton market opened steady, with prices un- changed to 2 points lower, and then turned weak under very active covering by the more timid longs and under brisk short selling by room operators. Heavi- ness in the Liverpool market and large port receipts were the factors which most depressed the early market. The first scramble to sell sent May to s.36 and July to s.S4 around which level conserva- tive bears turned for cover, and some of the more thoughtful room traders bought on the reaotionary theory A rally to $40 brought in commission buying and start ed general covering. The southern spot market advices did not reflect any partic- ular weakness, and reports from cotton goods and dry goods centers told of ex- ceptionally good demand at very profit able prices As the session wore along the trade lest a goodly portion of it's bearish convictions and became fearful lest. after all the March option, should go out at the top and that all notices be promptly taken up.
 The close was steady, with prices net unchanged to points higher, May clos ing at S.44, or points up from the bot tom

Getting Along in Spite of Us

There are infatuated protectionists-
high tariff votaries gone daft-who
imagine that the foreigner cannot live
without American goods. Unquestion-
ably the life of the man across the
ocean is better worth living because
he enjoys the product of Americon
skill and industry. But in pinch
our foreign brother can manage to
exist without the aid and consent of
the United States. Not very long
ago we barred Russian sugar from
our markets. Prior to that time Rus
STA had been buying American ma
chinery and agricultural implements.
The Russian minister of finance issued
a decree increasing the duties on these
articles. The Russian is now manag-
ing to get along without American
plows and machinery. He can buy
both in England and in Germany.

Saving Time In the White House.

Roosevelt has found it necessary to
reprimand SO many officers of the ar
my and the navy that, according to
a report in Washington, he has de-
cided to save breath by shouting a
reprimand with strenuous eloquence
into a photograph and then arrange
it so he can turn on the machinery
whenever occasion requires by simply
pressing button. The plan has the
further advantage that if an officer
fails to call at the white house for his
reprimand the machine can be sent
to him.

Pleas Upset by tho Facts.

1t is urged that the United States
must pay a sufficient subsidy to en-
courage the trust to build its vessels
at home, otherwise 1t will buy for
eign shipyards and build them abroad
The plea is made that it costs more
to build vessel here, and much more
to operate it under American laws
If 1t costs so much more to build yes
sells here why do Russia and Japar
place orders in American yards? A!

The People VIII Be Aroused.

So long as the trusts confined their
operations to such commodities as
steel and iron. glass, oil, manufactured
articles of various kinds and other
products that affected but a limited
number of people or the majority but
slightly, the people have been patient,
but let these combines continue their
encroachments on staples of food re-
quired by all the people, debating the
supply and arbitrarily fixing prices,
and the government will find itself
face to face with a situation that has
not been paralleled in gravity in the
history of the republic.

Tariff Laws Must Be Overhauled.

The time is not far distant when a
general overhauling of the tariff will
be necessary. The theory of protec-
tive tariff on behalf of Infant indus
tries" and for the maintenance of
American wages may be well enough.
But in operation the theory has not
proved all that could be desired. Il
has worked to the direct and constant
benefit of the trusts. 1t has enabled
these huge combinations of capital to
extort from our own people price
for their products actually higher
than is paid by the foreign consumer.

A Mrs. Hildebrandt of this place
after trying very man. medicines has
recently found successful remedy for
this painful disease.
This woman suffered so with the
Rheumatism in her arms that sleep or
rest became impossible.
She heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills but
having little faith in anything was very
reluctant to spend any more money for
medicine.
However, she decided to try one box
and this helped her so much that she
continued to use the Pills. Now she

I can express my thanks to Dodd's
Kidney Pills for what they have done

A tariff for protection to infant in
dustries" and to maintain American
wages" is one thing; tariff that
breeds trusts and empowers them to
take the American people by the
throat and make them pay more for
the products of their own soil and
industry than foreigners 5000 miles
away is quite another thing. The days
of the tariff for trusts only are num-
bered. The people are ready to de-
mand a share in their own prosperity

afforded monopolies and legislation in
fevor of classes. The times are sup

that it will go no farther than $500
would year ago, and its purchasing
capacity is steadily decreasing. The
