w. J. Bailie, the prominent farm
er who has completed commodious
residence in the third ward and will
move to the city next month to
make his home, has resided on the
farm between Lancaster and PotOsi
nearly so years. In July next this
half century will have rolled around.
He was not exactly born there but
his parents settled on the farm
when he was a mere youngster and
it has been his home ever since. He
has not disposed of it and states
that he never will. It is with con-
siderable regret that he is obliged to
relinquish active management of
it, but the arduous duties are too
severe upon himself and his good
wife.
Warren Hannum favored us with
a social chat Saturday. Mr.. Han
mum is one of Grant county's early
settlers and will soon pass his eight
ieth milestone.
When it comes to lodge booming
Frank Laughton, deputy of the
Maccabees, takes all there is in the
oven. His work here is an illustra-
ton, securing tent Of about forty
charter members in three weeks
time-and this vineyard has been
pretty thoroughly worked before.
On Oct. LIST, last there were but 90
Maccabees in Grant county. Today
there are $40, and all this is due to
Mr.. Laughtons interchangeable efforts.

He Mcans 1t.

New Berlin, ILL.,, March 16th.-Mr.
Frank Newton of this place speaks
very earnestly and emphatically when
asked by any of his many friends the
reason for the very noticeable i'm
provement in his health.
For long time-over two years-he
has been suffering great deal with
pains in his back and an oll-over feel
ing of illness and weakness. His ap-
petite failed him and he grew gradu-
ally weaker and weaker till he was
very much run down.
A friend recommended Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and Mr.. Newton began to
take two at dose, three times day.
In very short time he noticed an i'm
provement; the pains left his back
and he could eat better. He kept on
improving and now he says:
Yes, indeed! l am different man
and Dodd's Kidney Pills did it all.
cannot tell you how much better feel.
l am new man and Dodd's Kidney
Pills deserve all the credit"

The Republican Method.

The policy of protection is the
foundation of our whole industrial
system. Nine-tenths of our industrial
capital is invested, nine-tenths of our
industrial wage scales and other ar
rangements are made, upon the sup
position that this nation will con-
tinue by law to reserve the home
market for home producers.
To begin to repeal the tariff would
be to disturb all these arrangements.
1t would unsettle business. 1t would
destroy commercial confidence in the
future. 1t would bring on hard times.
That is what tariff tinkering by the
Democratic party has always done in
the past. That is what it certainly
will do again.
On the other hand, the Republican
method of dealing with the trusts is
to let the tariff alone for the present
and seek other methods of curbing
trust abuses. The Republican party
believes that the trusts can be con-
trolled without taking the risk of
bringing on hard times. The Repub-
lican party is confirmed in that be-
lief by its success in bringing trusts
under control, notably in the pres
ent case of the hard coal strike.-An-
napolis Md Examiner.

WAS REFUSED LIFE INSURANCE.
Rejected on Account of "coHee Heart"

Life insurance companies have fully
established the fact that the use OF
coffee causes an organic arrangement
of the heart, shortening the long beat
and imperiling life. For this reason
habitual coffee drinkers are refused
life insurance in many cases. A we'll
known merchant of Whites Creek,
Tenn, proprietor of a large store
there, says: Three years ago was
examined for life insurance and to my
surprise was rejected because my
heart action was at times out of place

perity has given the American peo-
pie? Six years ago the complaint
was that prices were too low, and
prices were low then because even
though a person did want to buy he
lacked the funds-the home market
was dead; the foreign market limit
ed; and without a market products
of the farm and the factory alike
went begging for what they would
bring. The American people have
money now, and they are spending 1t,
and the price lists of wearing apparel
and of vegetables, of furniture, and
Of steel rails, Of meat, and of build
ing materials are arranged in accord
with that old law which neither agi-
tator nor reformer has yet succeeded
in repealing-the law of supply and
demand. When production equals
demand, and the home market has
been fully supplied, prices no doubt
will sag. 1t is possible this result
can be more quickly attained by ad-
hitting foreign made goods more
freely, by an agitation of the tariff
question, with it's inevitable curtail-
ment and panic-but who wants
lower prices at such cost? The
tariff revision of ten years ago toward
free trade brought lower prices, and
what else of suffering and sorrow
and calamity and woe it brought need
not be mentioned. Does anybody
want to duplicate the experiences of
that period? Why agitate another
revision at this time?
The agitation of the tariff question
is folly. The serious mention of it
makes the business man, the manu-
facturer, the farmer and the laborer
shudder. Give the agitation definite
form and the appearance of strength
and the effect will be almost immedi-
ately perceptible in every line of
commercial and industrial activity.
Enterprise will begin to hedge, capt.
tai will begin to hunt for cover, and
trouble will come all along the line.
The fact that the agitation Is in the
house of the friends of protection may
soften the blow, but the man who is
hit is not interested in whether it
was friend or foe who sent him to
the floor; it hurts just as badly.
The Dingley tariff may not be
perfect in all it's schedules. 1t is pos
sible 1t could be improved upon,
though it is unlikely any two citizens
in the land would agree exactly upon
how to improve it. There is nothing
sacred in any line or schedule of the
enactment. But the fact stands out
as big as ton of coal that the coun-
try has prospered under the Dingley
tariff, that the country is prospecting
under it now, and there is no reason
to believe the country will not con-
tinue to prosper If the tariff be left
entirely, absolutely and religiously
alone The time may come when the
present tariff should be revised, but
that time has not yet come. The
Dingley tariff was enacted as the
fulfillment of the pledge contained in
the st. Louis platform of 1896. 1t has
been on the statute books less than
six years. 1t should be allowed to
remain until business conditions in
dictate that a change is needed. The
agitation for revision should not be
seriously considered at this time
