rowed S5,O00,0O0. for which 6 per cent
was paid. the loan to run until next
March. The Union Pacific has also
just borrowed $1O,OO0,OOO on short

ey and pay big interest when they
have. according to their own reports,
a vast surplus. There must be some
thing rotten in the state of Denmark.
Are all these railroad reports of vast
earnings and their large surplus tricks
of bookkeeping to induce the lambs to
buy their stock in Wall street?
There is no Goubt the railroads are
doing more business than ever before
and are charging the public exorbitant
rates for carrying freight and passen-
gers. So they have undoubtedly earned
the increased money, and their eX
penses have not kept pace with their
earnings.
What have they done with the mon
ey? Have the managers invested it
in Wall street or loaned 1t TO the
banks-those with which they are con-
nected? Wall street is in bad way
and the New York banks are inextrica-
bly, mixed up with speculation; they
are loaded down with vast amounts of
undigested securities-the watered
stocks of the trusts and corporations.
The ephemeral prosperity of Wall
street and the New York banks has
turned 10 tight times that forbodes
disaster.
Those of us who are not interested
IN Wall street could view the discom-
future of the spectators and the eX-
tremity of the banks with composure
if il did not affect business else
where. but unfortunately it does. Wall
street and the New York banks and
the railroad magnates are also the
trust managers; they control directly
or indirectly about all the products
that compose the necesSaries of life.

Does Protection Protect ?

When the industrial trust boom was
in full blast and corporations were be-
ing manufactured with millions of cap
ital every day in the week. the protec-
tionists cited the fact as the result of
the greatsystem of protection to Amer
lean industries. Now the stocks OF
these trusts are in a state of collapse
and the water has been squeezed out
of them with remorseless energy, what
will the protectionists say? The pros
tration of the boom in Wall street can
not be blamed on the Democrats, Meth
err Mr.. Bryan nor Mr.. Cleveland can be
held responsible The blighting intiu-
ence of free trade" has had no part or
lot in the matter and vet the mar
velous prosperity" of these trust cor
porations-railroad and industrial,
have received a check which is but the
index finger pointing TO the prostra-
ton of general business that will fol-
low In its wake The abnormally high
prices that now prevail of all the ne
cessities of life must result in reduced
consumption and even protected
trust cannot pay big dividends unless
the public will pay high prices for its
productions.
Wall street generally discounts in
advance the falling of in demand for
products or the reduction in earnings
of railroads and these bear raids are
but indications OF worse that may hap
pen, When stock like the steel trust
that pays dividends of 4 per cent sells
around %. there must be something
radically wrong With every one OF
its products protected by the tariff and
with nearly complete control of the
market. the protectionists should be
able 10 give. at least. plausible reason
for the enormous decline in its pros
perity. Can ii be that protection does
not protect its benefciaries and yet
eompels the American people TO pay
extortionate prices II is the more ex-
aSperating TO those who use steel trust
products that the foreigner is able TO
purchase them for much less price
than obtained in the home market The
tariff should certainly be reformed 10
the extent that we should be able TO
buy our own goods as cheaply as the
people Of other countries can buy them

The fact that the struggle for existence
bears most heavily on the women who

method of suicide, followed closely by
poison. Almost exactly go per cent of

YALE SUICIDE STUDY
PROF. BAILEY GIVES VIEW OF
SELF-DESTRuCTION
Carefully Compiled Statistics Show
29,344 Cases in the United States in
the Period from 1897 to I9o1-More
Males than Females.

Suicide in the United States has been
studied by Prof. William B. Bailey of
Yale for a period covering the years 1897
to 1901. He has taken 2aS44 cases and
compiled the first set of exhaustive Stats
ties ever prepared from the viewpoint
of the authority on social science or po-
litical economy.
In order to take a more convenient unit
10000 cases were taken by Prof. Bar
ley for computation in his statistics. OF
these 1871 were found to be males,
2,2l9 females. indicating that in general
about three and one-half males TO one
female commit suicide. Taken by age
the figures show the following:

A WORD 10 FARM TOILERS.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend of the
Farmer and His Family.

After the labors and tolls of the summer time,
and harvesting of crops in the early autumn,
many of our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in a condition of
health demanding careful attention if suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some form; with some the
liver is torpid; there is biiousness, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss Of appetite and depression
Of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges oi
terrible rheumatism; others run down by
worry. overwork, and irregular dieting, are
tormented with the pangs Of dyspepsia.
To the thousands of run down, sickly, and
half dead men and women in farm homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend, Paine's Celery Compound,
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength to the weak body and vigor to
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones
the stomach; it removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism; it feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and banishes
neuralgia tortures; it purihes the blood and
gives true vitality and life. The use of Paine's
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab'
fishing of perfect physical vigor to withstand
the rgors of a severe winter.
