however, the most surprising thing in the world. d.--Springfeld Republica1l It is often asked why athletic citi- zens don't knock down men i'll the streets who say insulting things to the wives of the athletes. A St Louis man bowled over a thug in New York who said vile things in the presence of the St Louis mans wife, and the result was that vigilant policeman arrested the stranger, let the insulter go and lugged the hero to a cell. Little epi- sodes like these convince Us that only in the story books do the good get all that is due them in the world.-Brock- ton Enterprise. i.
 The farmers of Kansas are in such desperate need of men to harvest their crops that wages of from $2.5O to $6 per day are being paid, and they are bidding for help much as planters bid for slaves in the south before the war. In all 1000 men are urgently needed, a number that could be promptly sup piled by either New York or Boston IL the unemployed of those cities would go to work out there, but they prefer to remain in the east, an army or Micawbers looking for something to turn up Springfield Union.
 Significant of our phenomenal pros perity is the fact that more than $3e,- 900, O,00O worth of diamonds and other precious stones were brought into the United States during the fiscal year ending with June. This is the largest importation of diamonds and other precious stones ever shown in a single year of our commerce. A large per centage of these jewels were brought in uncut, thus indicating a cons1dera- ble increase in our 1apidary industry. The value of this lapidary work in lS9O was less than half a million, while, ac- cording to the census statistics, 1t was five and a half millions in 1900. Most of these precious stones were naturally purchased by our so-called plutocrats, but it is interesting to note that 1n their preparation and mounting em- ployment was given to many skilled American workmen. - Springneld Union.
 The government books for the fiscal year that ended June 30 last have been balanced and show a surplus of So2'- 71O,935 in receipts over expenditures In other words, the government has collected and needlessly taken from the public that amount of money in the past twelve months over and above US legitimate wants. Meanwhile, too, considerable portion of this enormous sum is lying idle in the vaults of the treasury instead of performing It's proper functions as currency. There was a gain of $12,000O00 over the pre- eeding year in receipts from customs duties. Isn't it about time, all things considered, that there was downWard revision of the tariff that the public may be relieved of form of taxation that conditions do not warrant? It Is obvious that the present high sched- ules are not necessary to the govern ment. al I it is wrong to retain them for the benefit of the trusts, mainly.-- Fall River Globe.

BIGGEST MEAT EATERS LIVING
We Are, So the Butcher Trade Organ

We Are, So the Butcher Trade organ
 Says-Germany Must Buy of Us.
 If Germany does not remove the bars she has raised against the importation of American meat products her middle classes will be left to the alternatives of starvation or emigration, accord ino to an investigation made Dy the National Provisioner, the organ or the provision trade of this country.
 The paper thinks there are indica- tions that the restrictions governing meat importation will be frightened instead, to the great benefit of Amerl- can trade, for the simple reason tnaE, unless that is done, Germany cannot feed her own people.
 1t figures that there are out of the total population of 56,O0O.OOO, 7oOO,- GOO German families, whose annual earnings average only $225, or $45 a head a year, and 100000 more famH- ies that earn not more than SoOO year or $100 head.
 Just how much meat these can aford to eat when that article was rom oo to 100 per cent higher in price than It was here-and millions of dollars worth have been barred since By the prohibitive meat regulations cannot be estimated.
 Apart from the raising of prices by the restrictions of the supply, 1t IS ar gued further that Germany cannot feed her own people anyway By official count a little more than two years ago the country had only 1S,OOo,- GOO cattle, less than that number of hogs, 1O,OO0OOO sheep and almost 8 3,OOO,OOO goats to feed her population.
 Assuming that the same proportion is killed there annually as here and the weight of the animals to be the same, there would be only seventy six pounds of meat head each year, Tor a little over three ounces each a day, for the whole population, which is clearly not enough.
 With only 50 per cent more popu- Iation than Germany, the United States kills three times as many cattle, near ly i've times as many pigs, and seven times as many sheep annually, and when all the great amount sent out of this country is allowed for, there is still left three times as much meat for every head of the population as there is in Germany
 That fact, the paper argues, makes us the biggest meat eaters in the world and the nation with the stoutest man. hood, and in time it will make Ger many come to us for some of our sup plies

What PrOOfDO You Want

That Standard Remedy has cured hundreds and is curing right along complaints that the best skill obtain able has failed to cure?
 Do you object to being cured unless by skill that you can i'll afford to pay for? The working classes should not fail to use it at once. The proof is right in your city that it does the work quickly and thoroughly. Ask MT Siclmund, shoemaker, Phoenix avenue, what it did for him after all else failed.
 A specialist that could make the cures Standard Remedy has in this city could take hundreds of dollars ev- cry day and be lauded to the skies by all WILL you throw your prejudice aside as MT Sickmund did and be cured? Rich and poor can all afford to use Standard Remedy. The poor should be cured as cheaply as possi- bIe. Begin it's use. You run no risk. Money refunded if dissatisfied,
