the remedies known and yet utterly failed
TO find relief
At times he was so helpless that he had
to take morphine and after cOnsiderab BILE

neighhors suffering from rheumatism were
next cured and Mr.. Smith concluded to Of
fer his remedy to the world. But he found
the task a difficult one as nearly every
body had tried a hundred or more remedies
and they couldn't be made to believe that
there was such a thing as cure for rheu-

would send him a sample he would try IT,

a fortune with doctors and advertised

If the Democrats show gain in
the elections this Fall, ii will indi-
cate that the voters are determined
to turn out the Republicans, with
their numerous scandals, and inaug
urate the reform that is so necessary
for the public welfare. equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none" is the Democratic slogan, and
as the voters are lightning to see
that trust prosperity means the
piling up of millions in the pockets
Of the favored few and no fair share
to the many. 1t Is only reasonable to
expect the voters will demand a
change in political conditions.
That the Republican leaders are
frightened TO the point of despera
ton IS plain enough or President
Roosevelt would not have authorized
the speaking members of his cabI-
net to take the stump for Hanna in
Ohio and to bolster up the rotten
Lodge machine in Massachusetts
and to aid the disreputable crew in
Kentucky that call themselves the
Republican party In that state,

the Canadians, and surprised the
British. The Canadian Commits
sioners refused to sign the award
but they affixed their signatures to
the map which was agreed upon by
the majority. The boundary de-
cided upon lies far from the coast
and gives to the United States sub.
stantialIy all the territory in DIS
pute. The line clears all the bays,
inlets. and means of access to the
seas and establishes a complete
barrier between Canada and the
sea from Portland canal to Mount
St. Elias. Around the head of the
Lynn Canal the line follows the
watershed. The Canad ians get the
canal and the Pearse and Wales Is
lands, but we were given the two
islands which lie Immediately out
side and they are of far more i'm
portance from a strategic point of
view. The decision in our favor
was due to the vote of Lord Alyes-
tone, the British representative,
who became convinced of the jus :.
tice of the American claims. The
Canadians accuse him of partisan
ship and make no attempt to dis.
guise their disappointment and
anger. But both the commissioners
and the Canadian public are far
more bitter against the British Gov
ernmen than against the Americans.
The following interview from one
of the Canadians connected with
the case illustrates their attitude
toward the award. at is the hard
est blow the imperial tie has yet re-
ceived. The piece Lord Alves-
tone filled was clearly that of agent
for the British Government. 1t was
a shock to the Canadian people to
know that Notwithstanding all the
professions of friendship and sym
pathy the solemn formalities of the
International Court have simply
been used for the purpose of hand
ing over Canadian territory to the
United States. Canada must now
face the fact that when imperial in
terest of friendships require it, her
territory may be handed over with
on. the slightest hesitation. This
marks most serious epoch in the
relation between Canada and the
mother country" The Canadian
Commissioners are especially bitter
over the acquisition by the United
States of the two outermost OF the
four islands off the mouth of the
POLAND Canal. They give as
Their reason the extreme strategic
value of the islands. However they
might know that in conflict be-
tween the United States and Canada
the strategic value of these or any
other islands would have an infini-

THE TRUSTS OR THE PEOPLE.

The Sugar Trust, having bought a
controlling interest in its competi-
tor. the Beet Sugar Trust, the fight
so long waged between the Republi-
can factions over Cuban reciprocity
will probably cease. The reduction
in the duty on sugar for which Cuban
reciprocity provides, will give the
combined trust an enormous bonus,
amounting to millions of dollars on
all the raw sugar imported from
Cuba, and, under the ordinary laws
of trade, the price of refined sugar
should decline at the same ratio.
But the trust is SO fully protected
by the duty of about one and one
quarter cents pound on refined
sugar that the foreign article can
hardly be imported here to compete
with the trust. Freight, tariff duty
and other charges make the cost of
importing foreign refined sugar
about equal to the trust price. II
raw and refined sugar paid the same
duty, the trust would have to reduce
its price accordingly and the con-
sumers OF the United States would
buy their sugar at retail for at least
one cent pound less than they now
pay for 1t. That is the reason, the
Democrats in the last Congress pro-
posed and passed through the
House of Representatives the
amendment to the Cuban Recipro-
city Bill abolishing the extra tariff
duty on refined sugar, which is
technically called the discriminating
duty. When the Cuban reciprocity
measure comes up at the coming
session of Congress, the Democrats
will offer the same amendments.
