The discrimination against Ameri-
can flour by several of the largest
foreign customers of the United
States is inspired by spirit of retail
iation. According to the Kansas
millers it has greatly affected the mill
ing interests Of this country. The
senators, as the treaty-making agents
of the government, are requested to
right the situation by reciprocal con-

Hall Saryica as q Cure.

If the fact of the existence of the
beef trust and it's eXtortions could be
established on the criminal side of
the court a sojourn of a few hot sum-
mer months inside county Jail would
do more than all the injunctions in
the world could do to put stop to
high prices now at the very point of
extortion and oppression. There
ought to be wisdom sufficient in con-
gress and in state legislatures to
frame bills that would do the work OF
destroying trusts and combines in re-
straint of trade or for the purpose OF
raising the prices of necessaries OF
life.

Symptoms OF National Degeneracy.

Atrophy of the moral sense of the
people has been predicted as an in
evitable effect of wars of conquest
waged against races held to be infer
ior. Symptoms of that degeneracy are
not wanting after only three years
of criminal aggression for CONNER
cial profit and territorial aggrandize-
ment. More amazing and lamentable
is the letter of minister in Phila-
delphia to Gen. Corbin suggesting ex-
cuses for Gen. Smiths order to kill all
natives over 10 years old. The fact
that children are useful to the insur-
gents, pleads this preacher of the
gospel of Christ, may put different
color upon the order of Gen. Smith"
to slaughter them.

In the skirmish between Uncle
Sam and the beef trust the beef trust
SO far has the advantage, but it never
yet was truthfully said of Uncle Sam
in vital case that he belonged to the
tribe of cutters, and that is only an
other way of saying that there is trou-
BILE ahead for the beef trust. 1t takes
something to rifle the gentleman with
the high white hat and the red, white
and blue clothing, but when he is riled
he's apt to make the splinters fly.

Boot and Shoe Operatives Uneasy.

A movement is under way among
the boot and shoe operatives through
out New England for an increase in
wages. 1t is not definitely fixed where
the demand on the manufacturers will
be made, but 1t is likely to be soon.
The manufacturers say that under the
present conditions of the market it
will be impossible to grant the in
crease. Unless the manufacturers re-
cede from their position it is possible
that New England will witness one
of the largest strikes that has ever &C.
Cured in the boot and shoe industry.

The sixteenth annual report of Car
roll d. Wright, United States commits
sioner of labor, is being distributed. 1t
Is devoted primarily to strikes and
lockouts which occurred in this coun-
try from July 1, 1894, to Dec. 81, 1900,
and fills 1,O35 pages. This is the
third report on this subject issued
by the department of labor; the first
one issued was the third annual re-
port of the bureau, and covered the
strikes and lockouts from Jan. 1, 1881,
to Dec. 81, 1886; the second, the tenth
annual, covered the period from Jan.
l, 1887, to June 80, 1894, and this one
brings the subject almost to date. The
two former reports are out of print.
All the salient facts contained in
the two previous reports on this SUBJ
ject have been consolidated and re-
produced in this report, thus giving a
connected collection of statistics Of
strikes and lockouts for a period Of
twenty years, namely, from Jan. J.,
1881, to Dec. 81, 1900.
In the present report are also in
cluded the most valuable parts of the
third annual, relating to decisions of
courts and legislation of the various
states concerning strikes, lockouts,
conspiracies, boycotts, and other feat
ures of labor controversies, thorough
ly revised and brought down to date.
A summary of strikes and lockouts in
foreign countries is also embodied in
this report.

In New Jersey nearly 5000 children

from what particular gold district the

gold, for instance, is distinctly redder
than that from California. The Ural

Fair minded people always admit it
when they find an article of merit. II
1t has done them good they want it to
help others, too. Thousands bear
witness to the wonderful curative
qualities of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. 1t
Is the only preparation which pos
itively and completely digests any
good food you may eat. No one dis
putes the fact that some other digest
ants partially accomplish this result.
Pepsin, for instance, is found in the
healthy stomach. When 1t is lacking,
the patient takes pepsin and it helps
him. But pepsin digests only album
inous foods, like meat and eggs. May
be there's plenty Of pepsin and a lack
of the other digestants. Then 1t
does no good. That s the trouble with
the other preparations. They don't
contain all the digestants. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure contains them all. It
digests any good food you want. You
don't have to diet. The feeling of
