OHIO IDEA OF THE TARIFF.
It Is That Enemies of Protection Keep
Hands OF.

Hands OF.
Following the collapse of the Iowa
Idea" revision scheme, the Ohio idea
of what should be done with the pro-
tective tariff system will be received
with applause. The Ohio idea, as
set forth with simplicity and force in
the state platform of the Republican
party, is to let we'll enough alone.
In contrast with the Iowa idea Of tin
kering with the schedules, with the
reciprocity" idea Of driving wedges
into the pillars of protection and with
the free trade idea of tearing down
the whole splendid structure on which
the national prosperity rests, the Ohio
idea stands out In grateful relief:
I'VE oppose all attacks upon this
policy (the protective tariff policy Of
the Republican party, whatever the
pretext, as tending to bring back the
disastrous days of Democratic tariff
revision and free trade"
The Ohio idea, continued is that
changing conditions and the possible
benefits of reciprocity may call for
timely readjustments of schedules, but
protection as a principle and as a
policy must be administered by the
friends of American prosperity and
must not be sacrificed" The position
taken by the Ohio Republicans is in
full harmony with that of all but
selfish or misguided fraction Of their
party in the nation. Their idea, too,
is that no part of the prosperity struc-
ture should be touched by the hands
of, other workmen than those who
builded it. The country just now is
satisfied with its strength and earn
ing power. There is no call for its
disturbance save from the importers
and shipping interests and wreckers
In high finance" and the demagogues
of both parties. When the country de-
mands a readjustment of the tariff
schedules the Republican party will
listen to its request. But there is no
sign yet that the country is dissatisfied
with prosperity. And it will be long
time, we hope and we believe, before
the country either will clamor for
modification of the tariff or intrust
the care of the protective system to
the Democratic party.
The Ohio Republican idea of hands
off the tariff is the idea of the Re-
publican party and the idea of vast
majority of this prosperous and con-
tented nation.-New York Press.

ExPERIM ENTS
Learn Things of Value.

Where one has never made the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum 1t is still easy to
learn alp about it by reading the ex-
periences of others.
Drinking Postum is a pleasant
way to get back to health. A man Of
Lancaster, Pa, says: MY wife was
victim of nervousness and weak
stomach and loss of APPETITE for years
and was a physical wreck; although
we resorted to numerous methods OF
RELIEF one of which was a change
from coffee to tea, it was all to no
purpose.
I'VE knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take its place and cure the diseases
until we tried Postum Food Coffee.
In two weeks time after We quit cor-
fee and used Postum almost all of her
troubles had disappeared as if by
magic. It was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was all gone, stomach
trouble relieved, appetite improved
and above all a nights rest was COM
plete and refreshing
This sounds like an exaggeration,
as it all happened so quickly. but we
are prepared to prove it. Each day
there is improvement for the better
for the Postum is undoubtedly
Strengthening her and giving her rich
red blood and renewed life and vital

A Good Story,

Frederika, Ia, July 13th-Mr. A. 8.
Grover of this place tells an interest
ing story showing how sick people
may regain their health if they will
only be guided by the experience of
others. He says:
Il had very bad case of Kidney
Trouble, which affected my urinary
organs so that l had to get up every
hour of the night. l could not retain
my urine and my feet and limbs began
to bloat up. My weight was quickly
running down.
After | had tried many things in
vain, l began to use Dodds Kidney
Pills. a medicine which had cured
some other very bad cases.
This remedy has done wonders for
me. | have gained eight pounds in
two months. The bloat has all gone
from my feet and legs, and I don't
have to get up at night. took in all
about ten boxes before l was all

yer can make no mistake in taking
Dodds Kidney Pills, for they are a
sure, safe and permanent cure for all

OF What ANail7

Senator Hanna's expression of fer
vid faith in a protective tariff as a
means of promoting prosperity seems
to have Jared upon the nerves of the
New York Evening Post. No free
trader likes to hear or read that kind
of talk. So the Evening Post sneer.
ingly says:
with his praise Of Mr.. Roosevelt,
he mingled greater praise Of the high
tariff. 1t was a miraculously perfect
thing. Il was the cause Of all our
prosperity. OF what avail was it for
the Creator to give US forests and
mines, until the party of protection
came along and offered Americans a
tariff bounty to work them?'

that until the party of protection

Why Eve PIucked the Apple.

Theodosia Garrison was dining out

turned upon various kinds of food.
The gentleman who had taken her in
to dinner, and who prided himself on
knowing as much as a doctor about
foodstuffs, declared that apples were
excellent for the vitality of the brain
because of the phosphoric acid which
they contain in large quantities.
"Oh, then it is quite clear" said
the poetess, that Eve only plucked
that apple to supply Adam with few
