1t is not generally known that
three presidents of the United States
died on the Fourth of July, two on
its fifth anniversary. One was Thos.
Jefferson, who fifty years before had
signed the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, and John Adams, who at the
same time, had, after II three days
debate, secured the adoption of the
Declaration. 1t might be taken for
granted that these two representative
men were warm personal friends, ev
en- if history were silent upon the
subject, which it is not. When JEFF
ferson was dying on that day which
he had so signally help to distin-
guish, his friend was also Jrething
his last Adams did not know of JEFF
ferson's illness, and his last words
were: "Thomas Jefferson still sur
vi7es;n as if there was consolation in
the thought But his friend had al
ready passed from earth. President
Monroe, whose famous "doctrineo
has kept his memory green, also died
on the Fourth of July (lS3l) OF him
Jefferson said: "If his soul were
turned inside out, not a spot could be
found on it," That Monroe, like his
distinguish friend and predecessor,
should pass away on the anniversary
of the independence of the country
he served so faithfully, is touching
coincidence. The first republican
vice president of the United States,
Hannibal Hamlin, closed, his long
career on the Fourth of July, 1861.

Darlington Republican: Snakes
were never so plentiful in this city
as they are this spring. Garter snakes
blue racers and black snakes seem to
be everywhere They craw out of
woodpiles, from under sidewalks and
occasionally enter houses. These rep

many ladies have been given scares

duties will diminish his profits on
goods sent here and add to the revenue
of our government and thereby dimin-
ish the taxes on our American people.
AS to goods which we cannot produce.
these will come in free of duty and
the prices of such goods will be low
to our workmen and all others. Such
is the difference between protection
and tariffs for revenue only, which
should always be remembered, when
we are called upon to choose between
the two. They are directly antagon-
istic, because protection means no du-
ties at all-free trade-as to all COM
modities which we cannot produce
and high duties on all commodities
which we can produce; while tariffs
for revenue only mean high duties on
all goods which we cannot produce
and low duties on all goods which we
can produce.
Protection is patriotism. tariff
for revenue only has no regard for the
country except to get money out OF
the pockets of the people and put it
into the public treasury, without re-
gard to the ability of the people to
pay or the benefits received. 1t is tax
alton according to consumption of for
eign goods, which, in regard to goods
we cannot produce, is not only very
high, but no higher for the million
aire than the ordinary workman-no
higher to the man OF wealth than to
the man of no property. With regard
to goods which we can produce, al
though 1t may reduce the price, it
also reduces the price of wages and
often prevents our workingmen from
getting any work or wages at all. AS
a system of taxation nothing could be
more unjust. But with respect to pro-
lection, we have system of taxation
which not only has regard for the
public treasury, not only looks to the
various classes with respect to their
ability to pay taxes, but 1t considers
the situation of our country with re-
spect to all other countries, especially
the great manufacturing and CONNER
cial nations, and it seeks to prevent
any Of these nations or their people
from injurirg our industries, our la
Dor or our capital. II seeks to build
up and strengthen the nation and to
make it able to defend itself against
all foreign nations, especially those
nations that would break down our
manufactures or trade.

THERE Is GREAT DANGER IN
CATARRH.
If Left to Run Its Course Unchecked, Il
Often Causes Death.

Catarrh scatters its poisons through
out the entire system. The stomach
and lungs are affected by the drop
pings that fall into the throat and are
swallowed during sleep. Dyspepsia,
Inflammation of the stomach, bron-
c'litis and consumption are the results.
The blood also becomes contaminated
and carries the pois0ns to all parts OF
the system. Frequently in the more
advanced stages, the bones of the head
become decayed and the air passages
ar, putrid mass and create stencil
SO foul and offensive as to be UNI
be- rable. The expression, rotten with
catarrh," is not oyerdrawn or exag-
gerated.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets strike at
the root OF this terrible, odious dis
case and eradicate it from the system.
They are constitutional remedy that
c1eanses the system thoroughly OF all
poisons and purifies the blood I'm

clear, the discharges at the nose and
droppings into the throat cease, the
lost sense of smell is restored, the eye
brightens, the foul breath becomes
pure and sweet and the odiOus, dis
gushing disease is thoroughly expelled
from the system.
A Cincinnati man says: II suffered
the misery and humiliation. of catarrh
for twelve years. My case became SO
aggravated that 1t seriously interfered
with all my business relations. The
digease became so offensive that

Thanksgiving Proclamation

BY the President Of the United
States of America: A Proclamation:
The season Is at hand when, ac-
cording to the custom of our people,
1t falls upon the president to appoint
a day of praise and thanksgiving to
God. During the last year the Lord
has dealt bonntifully with us, giving
us peace at home and abroad and the
chance for our citizens to work for
their welfare unhindered by war, ia
mine or plague. 1t behooves us not
only to rejoice greatly because of what
he's been given us, but to accept it
with solemn sense Of responsibility,
realizing that under heaven it rests
with us ourselves to show that we are
worthy to use right that has been
entrusted to our care. In no other
place and at no other time has the
experiment of government of the peo-
pie, by the people, for the people, been
tried on so vast scale as here in our
own country in the opening years of
the twentieth century. Failure would
not only be dreadful thing for us.
but dreadful thing for all mankind,
because it would mean loss of hope for
all who believe In the power of the
Righteousness of liberty.
Therefore, in thanking God for the
mercies extended to us In the past,
we beseech Him that He may not
withhold them In the future, and that
our hearts may be reused TO war
steadfastly for good and against all
the forces of evil, public and private.
We pray for strength and light, so
that In the coming years we may with
cleanliness, fearfulness, and wisdom,
do our allotted work on the earth In
such manner as TO show that we are
not altogether unworthy Of the bless
ings we have received.
Now. therefore. |. Theodore Roose-
welt. president of the United States.
do hereby designate as a day of gem
eral thanksgiving. Thursday, the
twcnty-sixth day OF the coming No
vember. and do recommend that
throughout the land people cease from
their wonted occupations, and In their
several homes and places OF worship
render thanks unto Almighty God for
His manifold mercies.
In witness whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affIxed.
tSlgned)
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

JOHN HAY, Secretary Of State.

Are we going to make platform to
please one man?
Whatever may happen next year III
the democratic convention, II VIII not
be long before the populists and other
independent voters will become a great
party, IL protection is accepted.
IL protection is right, let us stand
by 1t, especially IL there is any rea-
sonable prospect of success.
With the republicans and the pop
ulists advocating protection, there can
be no doubt of success. IL Mr.. Bryan
wants to adhere to the democratic
party because 1t is advocating revenue
tariffs, he can do so; but in doing so
he will have to support party that
supports the gold standard and all
that this means Whatever course
Mr. Bryan pnrsues, the argument be-
tween republicans and populists will
be with reference to the money ques-
ton; the tariff will be left out.
One great point to be gained next
year is to bring the money question
to the front
With protection indorsed- populists
south on the tariff question. In the
south the republicans are weak and
they will be glad to have help from
the populists on the tariff issue. For
the purpose OF bringing this issue to
the front they will be willing in many
localities to indorse populist candi-
dates, although In SO doing they may
have to indorse greenbacks and all
that this means. Where such combina-
tons are made, tariff and money will
be the paramount issues.
With protection Endorsed, populists
can debate with republicans in the
north on the money question alone.
There will be nothing else to talk
about as between popullsts and repub-
licans because they will differ about
nothing else. But as between popul-
lists and democrats lin the north) pop
ulists can debate as to protection and
money. because they will differ on
both of these issues.
am not advocating fusion with re-
publicans or democrats. | am only
stating what will probably happen, II
the pOpulists indorse one of the prin-
ciples OF the republican party, namely,
protection. Heretofore the populists
have fused with the democratic party.
The result OF this fusion was that the
populists had to indorse tariff for
revenue only. This prevented an in
come tax from coming to the 'front.' be-
cause, If there was to be tariff for
revenue, there was no room for an in
come tax for revenue. AS proof Of this
Mr., Bryan has never advocated the
income tax much, since he was in
dorsed by the populists in 1896; and
in 1900 the income tax was left out of
the platform, which shows that in the
democratic mind there was not very
much OF desire to tax wealth. In
