For Open Handed Charity.

To have an old.fashioned snow-clad
winter, with sleigh bells jingling in the
clear frosty air is luxury But there
is now the saddsning thought, that the
cold of winter means shiverIng and
chill, in the abodes Of many. 1t means
dire suffering in many household, and
that, too, by little children Charity
should be open-handed this winter. Be-
neyolence must furnish warmth for

Manhart, of this place, a hale and
hearty old soldier of so years of age,
tells thrilling story of a narrow es-
cape from death:
-Four years ago." he says, "the doc
tors who were attending me during a
serious illness called my wife aside
and told her that I could not live two
weeks IS had Bright's Disease, which
meant certain death.
''As a. last resort we thought we
would try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and ac-
cordingly sent to Mr.. Clark's drug
store and got box.
''This remedy worked wonders in
my case. I noticed the improvement
at once and discharged the doctor.

symptom of illness had gone and
was strong and well.

The trust question threatens to re-
Solve itself into a national stomach

nails and hardware generally, the peo-
pie may listen more or less patiently
to the proposition that trusts are
beautiful and benefcent agencies for
Iessening the cost of production, rails
ing wages and cheapening prices. But
no argument will avail to reconcile the
mass of mankind to the disappearing
beefsteak. the vanishing lamb stew and
the shrinking ration of pork. says the
New York World. Owen Meredith
shrewdly says of man that
He may live without love-what IS passion
but pining?
But where is the man that can live without
dining?''
The beef trust has done more in a
fortnight to set the people thinking
keenly and deeply on the problem of
monopoly than all the trusts that ma
nipulate unedible things put together
could possibly do. Steak at 25 cents
pound is the price that staggers hui

full dinner pail" The subtleties of the
economists will be swept away like
cobwebs when people are forced to
weigh them against a lean 1arder and
a pinched bill of fare.
History abounds with illustrations
of the fact that whoever and whatever

began with cry for food under the
windows of the kings palace. 1t was
the bread riots of half-fed England
that forced a tory government to re-

what might happen if it did not. The
American people, having always been
the best-fed people in the world, will
resent all the more fiercely the arti-
fetal dearness and scarcity of food
which the trusts are conspiring to Gre
ate.
If there is any practical remedy for

A RED LETTER DAY.
publicans in the Cuban
Tariff Battle.


The democrats in the house of rep.
fesentatives have scored a signal vic
tory over their opponents.
Standing at last, with few unim-
portant exceptions, shoulder to shoul.
der, the democrats divided and tlisor.
gained the republicans, broke the
autocracy of the speaker and amended
the Cuban reciprocity measure with
provision aboIishing the differential
tariff on sugar.
This is certainly more than the most
optimistic democrat dared hope to ac-
compllsh two weeks ago, and is only
forctaste of what the minority may yet
do If it shall continue to present the
compact front which it maintained in
the battle, says the Louisville Courier
Journal.
1t had been feared that there would
be serious division among the demo-
Gratis themselves on the proposition to
reduce the tariff in favor of Cuba; but
on the final vote only ten stood against
it. The result is a brilliant victory for
the united party, and whether or not
the bill as passed by the house gets
through the senate, the party victory
remains, and its inspiriting effect is
bound to be lasting and great.
The differential duty on sugar, as all
who are posted in tariff legislation I'M
derstand, is the difference between the
duty on raw sugar and the higher duty
on refined sugar. This is the duty
which the sugar trust has always de-
manded and has always got. The dem
ocrats now, in passing through the
house repeal of that differentia rate,
nave struck the trust a strong blow
and have taken an important step to-
ward making the sugar tariff more a
tariff for revenue and less a tariff for
protection, while they have forced the
republicans to align themselves openly
in defense of the trust. 1t is from
every standpoint the most telling tri-
umph achieved by the democratic mi
nority in years.
Mr.. Payne, the leader of the repub-
lican majority, says that this amend
ment to the reciprocity bill carries
with it repeal of the countervailing
| duty as well as of the differential duty.
If that is true, so much the better. The
countervailing duty is the extra duty
which must be placed upon sugar on
which the government of the producer
pays an export bounty; in other words,
it is the result of that phase of pro-
lection which refuses to allow the
American consumer to get the benefit
of the generosity of a foreign sugar
producers government in partially
paying the American tariff tax. If Mr..
Payne is right, the democrats Gid a big
ger days work than they were aware
| of themselves.
1t is likely that the amended bill will
| have rough sailing in the senate. The
sugar trust is very strong in that body,
but even though the measure be finally
| passed without the house amendment
| the tactical advantage which the house
| democrats have won cannot be dimin-
| ished. 1t was a red-letter day for the
| democrats in congress.
