A Farmers Good Story.

velpen, Ind, April 6.--Wm. OBJ.
Sullivan, a highly respected farmer of
this place, tells personal experience
to show that there is still some genu-
ineness and honest worth to be met
with in this age in which so many
frauds are reported.
Yes, I have been humbugged," said
Mr.. Sullivan, land when was SO ill
with the Rheumatism, Kidney and
Heart Trouble, used a good deal of
stuff that claimed to be remedies for
these diseases only to find them worth
less
But, as you know, 1 did find the
genuine remedy after all and 1 had not
been taking DOdd's Kidney Pills very
long before 1 knew that they were an
honest remedy that would do all and
more than was claimed for them.
They cured me, made we'll man Of me
and am now as sound as ever was.
Il can testify that Dodd's Kidney
Pills are a genuine remedy for Rheu-
matism and Kidney Trouble"

The Ship Subsidy.

William E. Curtis, the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Record
Herald. says that no further attempt
will be made to pass the ship subsidy.
At the same time Mr.. Curtis admits
that three-fourths of the Republican
members of the House are in favor of
the measure. He explains that the bill
recently before Congress was defeated
because the Republicans of the North

The Yield Failing.

George II. Hees was recently sent
to Dawson by the Canadian Manufac-
turers' Association to make n thorough
examination into the business pros
poets of the Yukon Territory. He has
issued his official report, and it is de-
cidedly pessimistic. The total yield
of gold dust last year in the Klondike
was $24,OOO.OOO. The production of
the coming year, according TO the gov
ernment estimates, will not exceed
$14.OOO,0OO, a falling off of nearly one
half. No new discoveries have been
made for over year, although since
1879 thousands of prospectors have
been exploring every creek and noun
tain in the country. At Dawson, Mr..
Hees reports ten applicants for every
job, yet boat load after boat load Of
men continue to arrive, the transpor-
tation companies keeping up the illus
ion abroad that Dawson is the needy
mans paradise.

Haunted by Trusts.

The Republicans are greatly worried
about Congressman Littlefield's list of
300 trusts, with $14 4.OOO. 100000 of cap
ttal, published in the Congressional
Record as an eppendix to his speech
Of Feb. 9. 1903. No longer can the
Republican leaders deny that there are
trusts or say that there are only a few,
such as exist in England and other
free trade countries. This list, quoted
by a leading Republican. is twenty
times as long as any list of English
trusts ever published.
How completely this list has fab
ber-gasted the Old-line Republicans is
evident from a column editorial in the
New York Sun. headed "The Degre-
1atiOn of the Littlefield Butterfly"
Much of this editorial is devoted to
criticising Mr.. Littlefield's beautiful
autograph. Still, more space is de-
voted to ''the sordid advertising
scheme' hitched to the '.Littlefield but
terfy"-meaning his autograph.
OF course Mr.. Littlefield did not pre-
pare this list of 800 trusts. Naturally.
when he wished list of trusts. he ap-
piled to the Republican officials in n
position to prepare such list. Nat
urally, also, he did not get it there.
He says so in his speech. Naturally
then, he turned to what he considered
the most reliable private source for
such information, which was the Con-
gressiOnal Information Bureau. This
bureau prepared for him what he said
in his speech was 1.-The most complete
list of large corporations in exist
ence." His list contains only corpora
tons resulting from the combination
Of other corporations" and this is his
definition of trust"
Neither Mr.. Littlefield nor the Bu-
reau which prepared the list for him
pretend that this list of trusts is COM
plete. That 1t is conservative is evi-
dent from the recent statement of Mr.
John Moody, the author and publisher
Of Moody's Manual of Industrial Sc
curities, that there are about $50 trusts
in this country. Mr.. Moody, however,
put only 2SI trusts, with SI.O0O,OOO,-
600 capital, into the list which he pre-
pared for the last Democratic cam
paign book.
OF course Mr. Littlefield will in fu-
ture be persona non grata to other
leading Republicans for letting the
trust facts out. He will be ostraciZed
for being too serious in his opposition
to trusts. But aren't the Republicans
hard pressed for arguments and badly
ratified when they stoop to criticising
autographs and pretend to see in this
great list of trusts only "a sordid ad
vertising scheme!"
For the benefit of those Democrats
who care to exhibit this Republican

Promises fO Cuha.

There is to be an extraordinary SeS-
sion of Congress this fall. so Secretary
of State Hay officially informs the Gu
bans who are baking about the ratifi-
cation of the reciprocity treaty. 1t is
to be hoped the Cubans will not re-
member the semi-Official promises that
were made to them when the Platt
amendment was under consideration
and the committee of the Cuban Con
gress was invited to Washington TO
consult about it.
The promise now made by Secretary
Hay is rather evasive, for all he prom
ises is that Congress shall be called to-
gether before December, and that may
mean November 18th, or later in the
month. The difference of a week or
two in the final ratification of the
treaty could be of no advantage to Gu
ba, for by next fall all of last years
crop of sugar will be out of the hands
of the growers. If any sugar remains
in the island then it will be owned by
the sugar trust or its friends or agents,
and they would be the sole benefi-
ciaries Of the reduction of duty.
