CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
There Will Be a Lively Fight
In Congress on This Subject.
THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY DIVIDED

President Declares Reciprocity Will
BE Adopted N'as Sure as Fate"
other Republicans Say 1t Must BE
Defeated-DemOcrat Will Oppose
Protection to Sugar Trust.
President Roosevelt has determined
to call congress in extraordinary ses-
sion Nov. 8 for the express purpose of
ratifying the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
When the last congress adjourned
without ratifying this treaty, although
the president had used all the great
power of his office to force it through,
he in one of his speeches declared that
the treaty would be ratified ''as sure
as fate" The fated day will soon be
here, and the forces of the rival fac
tons of the Republican party are buc-
king on their armor for the fight. The
groundwork of the squabble is sugar
and the sugar trust. Whatever reduc-
ton the treaty finally contains ON the
tariff on raw sugar is an increased
profit to the sugar trust except any
slight advance the Cuban sugar grow
er may obtain over the price now paid
by the trust. The trust wants to have
Cuban sugar on the free list, but is
willing to take any discount that 1t
can get congress to allow. The present
duty on raw sugar amounts to $50 per
ton, and as the Cuban crop is about
100000 tons free Cuban sugar would
give the trust the enormous bonus of
100000 annually. If the Cuban
treaty should only allow bonus of %
per cent from the present duty on raw
sugar the saving to the sugar trust
would approximate or perhaps exceed
$S,O00,000.
1t is rather startling to have Presi-
dent Roosevelt SO anxious to see this
bonus given to the sugar trust and yet
pose as the great trust fighter. But it
must be remembered that no trust has
been prevented from its extortion by
the Republican plan of fighting them
and that words are good only when
backed by deeds
The fraction of the Republicans that
is fighting Cuban reciprocity is the
ultra protectionists, who declare that
no letter or word of the sacred tariff
must be changed, and they are backed
by the money of the trusts and the
protected mOnopolies. The Protective
Tariff league, the organization of the
manufacturers who are benefited by
the tariff, is the center around which
all monopolists gather and is supported
by the money of the monopolists. Its
organ, the American Economist, is
fighting Cuban reciprocity tooth and
nail on the ground that the Republican
party is pledged to protect the domestic
sugar growing interests. In its issue
of Sept. IL it appeals to the Republic
ans to stand firm for those interests
and says:
There are some things which even
congress cannot do, and one of these
things is to enact a revenue measure
which originates with the executive,
is ratified by the senate and finally
approved by the house of representa-
tives. Article of the constitution pre-

TO CATARRH SUFFERERS
HyOmeI Guaranteed co Cure by T. H
Thomas or Money Refunded.

HyOmeI Guaranteed co Cure by T. H.
Thomas or Money Refunded.
The popularity and increase in the
sales of Hyomei are unique in the an
nails of medicine Such astonishing
cures have been made by this remark
able remedy that the proprietors have
authorized T. H. Thomas to sell every
package of Hyomei under an absolute
guarantee that it will cure catarrh.
If it does not, the purchaser can have
his money refunded by T. IL. Thomas.
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. 1t
is the only method of treatment that
sends by direct inhalation to the most
remote part of the air passages, bal
samic air that destroys all catarrhal
germs in the breathing organs, en-
riches and purifes the blood with adj
ditionaI ozone. and makes permanent
and complete cures of catarrb.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81, and consists of an inhaler that
can be carried in the vest pocket, a
medicine dropper and a bottle of Hy-
omei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime, and
if one bottle does not cure. an extra
bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for
so cents. 1t is the most economical
yof all remedies advertised for the cure
of catarrh, and is the only one that
follows nature in her method of treat
ing diseases of the respiratory or
gans.
Breathe through the inhaler for a
few minutes four times a day and
your catarrh is cured That's all.
If not cured T. H. Thomas will re-
fund YOUR money.

Many Mothers of a Like opinion.

Mrs. Pilmer, of Cordova, Iowa, says:
"One of my children was subject to
Group of a severe type, and the giving

promptly always brought relief. Many
mothers in this neighborhood think
the same as i do about this remedy
and want no other kind for their chill

SIMPLY BREATHE 1T.
a Few Minutes Use of Hyomei Four Times
Day Cures Catarrh.

The pleasantest, most convenient
and the only scientific method for the
treatment and cure of catarrh is Hy-
omei. Simply put 20 drops of Hyomei
in the inhaler that comes with every
package and then breathe it for few
minutes four times day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
a way of treating catarrh will effect
"A cure, but the most important dis
coveries of science have always been
the simplest. BY breathing Hyomei in
this way every particle of air that en-
tcrs the air passages of the throat
and head and goes into the lungs is
charged with healing balsam that
kills the germs and baeilli of catarrh
and soothes and allays all Irritation.
