selves but were very careful to keep
1t quiet, so the west and south would
not catch on to their trick. I have
been wondering why some one has not
shown up the conditions existing in
regard to the manufacturing business
of the country. | was a protectionist
as long as ! thought our industries
needed the protection in order to live,
but am decidedly opposed to a tariff
that causes millions Of dollars to be
put into the industry on account OF
the great profits there is in it, until
there is such an overprodnction that
we have to turn the world up side
down to find market for our goods.
And there is another objection !
have to business as it now stands. We
have to send the raw material to the
east to get 1t made into goods that we
need and then have it sent back to us,
and then send our food supplies there
to feed the operatives and pay all the
freight both ways ON the goods and
also on our foodstuffs. Now, if we
had sufficient manufacturing plants in
each state to produce what we need
we would save the larger part of the
lnree freights, get more for our food
stuffs, and the operators would get
fresh food instead of stale and with
cred stuff. Those eastern fellows all
know this, therefore are afraid of the
west
Why do we not wake up to our own
best interests and insist on having our
goods made at home? Then there is
- r A.
ent condition, it is the high tariff
making it possible to make so much
better profits on investments other
than farming, that our lands have
ceased to be first class investment;

A Sectional Matter

Editor Independent: In looking
over a recent Independent I see that
Senator Aldrich came very near CIV
ing himself and the east away on the
tariff question when Senator Dolliver
was making his speech, and declared
that the Dingley bill put a high rate
on number Of articles for the pur-
pose of having them traded down.
Now it is a notorious fact that the
east has preyed upon the south and
west ever since there has been a pro-
tective tariff in this country; in the
first place, because they had the ma
Jority in congress to carry any meas
ure that was to their interest, and
now that the west and south are in
creasing so much faster than the east,
they are afraid that our representa-
tives in congress may become as sec
tional as they themselves have always
been and not allow them to have
everything their own way.
1t has been for a number of years
that we could say nothing about un.
1ting the west and south on any SUBJ
ject of interest to these localities, but
the east was up in arms at once and
accusing US of wanting to array one
section of the country against the
otner, although they were practicing
the closest kind of sectionalism them

OIL DR|LLER'S
PAINFUL M|SHAP
WOMAN RESCUES HIM FROM Al

The Man Was Suddenly Stricken With
Paralysis and Was Unable to Move

Lee F. Cypher, an oil-well driller,

mishap which caused total paralysis
of his legs, arms, face and throat.

But a Mrs. Smith, of this place,
who had been cured OF locomotor
ataxia by DR.. Williams Pink Pills,
recommended them to me and | be-
gan to take them. In short time

continued taking them till they cured
me and was able to return to work.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills drove every
trace of the paralysis out of my sys-
tem." t... ~ .l.....,;
The cure of Mr.. Cypher is additional
proof that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
are not an ordinary medicine. They
are wonderful in their potency in
nervous troubles, small or great, ara
as they are on sale in every druss store
throughout the country they are with
in reach of all. That they could cure
such a severe nervous disorder as that
of Mr.. Cypher proves the power Of the
remedy in lesser troubles, such as
sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headache,
st. Vitus' dance and nervous debility.
