CAUTION.

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and a remedy that has had the largest
sale of any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment Of Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing its great popularity all
these years, you viii be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
Others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs
Bronchitis, Croup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult
expectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there Is nothing
like German Syrup, The % cents size
has Just been introduced this year.
Regular size IS cents. For sale by E.s.

BEFORE THE next election the repub-
lcans will probably map out a plan Of
campaign for they have been sadly at
odds during this one. 1t has well been
asked, in the confusion Of opinions on
the trust question among their own
leaders, Where are the rank and file Of
the republican party to turn for safe
counsel? President Roosevelt advocates
an amendment to the constitution and
the enforcement and extension of the
Sherman antitrust law. Senator Hoar
sees no necessity for amending the con-
stitution to bring the trusts under gov
eminent control. Secretary Shaw says
the Sherman law is sufficient as 1t
stands. Attorney General Knox holds
the common law is sufficient, but
has not attempted to enforce it, and
gives his opinion that the Sherman law
can and should be made more far reach
ing and effective. Secretary Ko' I
admits that there are bad trusts, but
contends that the trusts rs Il whole do
not control manufactures, and that such
combinations as the sugar trust and the
steel trust stimulate domestic competition
He seems to have filth that conditions
will right themselves somehow, and only
urges that the tariff be moi disturbed.
Secretary Moody has suggested the repeal
of the import duty on coal as a means of
checking the power of The anthracite
coal trust, and Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson has denied that the beef packers
were responsible for the increase in the
price of meats. The Philadelphia North
American well says: Before the President
can make Roadway against partisan
opposition he will have to bring his
Cabinet into some sort of harmony.

SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. /, 1902

No MATTER whether the democratic
or republican party is successful at the
polls on Tuesday next the chief political
ouestion from now on until it is settled,
and settled right, will be that Of the
tariff. Years ago. on this question, men
in both parties were divided, some of the
rankest republicans being avowed free
traders. and some of the most ultra demo
Gratis being blatant protectionlsts
Study, upon the part of those who called
themselves "protection democrats" and
the greedy, grasping hands OF the
monopolies and trusts have turned them
from the error of their ways, and IT Is
not only hoped, but believed that for
wears TO come we will not only have a
united, but an unterri6ed democracy
Protection, now that hate for
those living south of the Potomac Is
no longer used, or can be no longer
used. is the basis of republicanism; a
revenue tariff is one of the remaining
stones in the foundation of democracy.
A protective tariff is tax upon every
article of consumption; it doubles the
price of the necessaries of life; 1t ex-
tracts from the people more than a
hundred millions a year in excess of the
requirements of government remark
able for its recklessness and extrava-
gance. and furnishes an excuse for an adj
ministration to unlawfully, and, what is
equally as reprehensible, to rnjustly
loan this immense sum without interest
to some pet banks. 1t increases the
property of manufactures enormously,
allowing them to sell abroad the articles
they make in many cases at half the
price required of the American con-
sumer All that is necessary, therefore,
to make man with common sense OPP
pose such tariff, is to have it ex-
planned to him thoroughly and satisfac-
torially, and to know that the tariff is
not something to eat" When the
tariff is understood we will hear but
little of protective. and the republicans
will endeavor to do throughout the
length and breath of this land what
they are now doing in Massachusetts, at
least some of their congressman preach
ing tariff reform. The election on No
vember next will not be the first or
second battle against unnecessary taxa
ton and unjust taxation, but renewal
of the fight for ga government of the
people, for the people, and by the peo-
ple." The democratic party everywhere
appears to be enthused and confident
and united. From the northern and
from the western States the news is en-
couraging. Kentucky, North Carolina,
and Maryland have aligned themselves
with their former political friends. Della
ware is coming ourway, and should West
Virginia break the chains of Elkinsism
and Scottish, on the morning of the
fifth proximo we will once more hail
sSOlid South. -
