Reciprocitx Promises.


The drift of the Republican leaders
from reciprocity to which they were
ardently committed under the leader
ship of Blaine and indorsed by McFin-
ley, is a reversal of party policy that
is remarkable. When Mr. Dingley ard
his Republican associates devised the
tariff bill of 1897, they Incorporated in
it a reciprocity clause and from the
unanimity with which the bill was
passed, the whole Republican party
appeared to indorse 1t. To appease
the ultra prOtectionists many of the
duties provided for In the schedules
were purposely placed beyond the
bounds of reasonable protection, In
some cases highert than the protected
interests asked for, SO that when the
rates were revised by reciprocity
treaties they would still be high
enough to protect the tariff barons
from foreign competition. The bill
having expressly provided for rcci-
procity treaties, the Mckinley admin
istration at once proceeded to nego-
tiate with foreign countries. Treaties
were made with nearly every country.
but the Senate refused to ratify them
and the schedules are still retained at
the extreme high rates.
This evasion Of the intent and the
letter of the Dingley bill is a fraud

No administration has ever perpe-
trated so shabby a trick as the pres.
ent one in refusing to say word of
praise for Lieutenant General Nelson
A. Miles on his retirement for age by
operation of the law of 1882. After
forty-two years faithfully serving the
United States and by virtue of his dis
tinguished services from private to
the highest command, he is allowed
to retire without the usual compli-
ments. When General Schofield was
retired President Cleveland paid Il
warm tribute to his gallantry and
faithful services. President Roosevelt
at the instance of the ruling cabal,
headed by Root and Corbin, who are
not worthy to wipe the dust from the
boots Of General Miles, joins them in
trying to humiliate the man who
fought upon a hundred fields without
fear and without reproach. The per-
sfstent efforts to exasperate and be-
little General Miles during the war
with Spain and since was due to jeal-
ousy and fear of his becoming too
powerful. He was refused the active
command of the army in Cuba, and
for his exposure of the rotten beef
scandal-the whole truth of which has
not yet been told-he was considered
politically dangerous to the Republican
oligarchy that have been in command.

The Question Answered.

Estill Springs, Tenn, Aug. a.
Many questions are being asked Of Mr..
Q. d. Holt Of this place in regard to
his wonderful recovery. For over two
years he has been down with his back.
He was so very bad that he could not
even lace his shoes, and from this con-
dition he suddenly appeared we'll and
strong as ever.
1t is no wonder therefore that his
friends are asking him How did you
do it?'
He tells them all: 'Dodd's Kidney
Pills did it." and adds: This remedy is
a genuine good medicine and one that
l can heartily recommend to every
body.
Everyone around here knows how
very bad l was. I was so weak in my
back that couldn't do anything that
needed STOPPING or bending over, and
three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills
made re as you see, as well as ever l
was"

feet on my case"

learned from an aunt to make good
doughnuts. She was thorough New
England housewife and set great store
by cooking. I knew that the mate
rials for doughnuts cost less than the
materials for any other sort of cake.
I heard that the people in Nome Were
crying out for something good to eat,
and a friend lent me the money to go
there and get the necessary tent, stove
and other furnishings for starting
business.

houses in a city block are arranged.

that "unenumerated manufactured ar
ticles" were subject to the 20 per cent
duty ad valorem. The Appraiser of
the Port-a Quay Republican machine

1t now appears that the mummy was
a bogus one manufactured in Egypt,
where the industry has just been
started to supply the American de-
mand for the real thing, genuine num-

machinery OF legislation to the detri-
ment of the many who pay the tax or
the exorbitant profit to the trusts.
The Speaker Of the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes is selected, and the commit
tees are appointed, to conserve the in
terests of monopolistic combinations.
President Roosevelt falls into line with
the majority and agrees that we must
'let well enough alone"
The symptoms of revolt against this
policy amongst the Republican leaders
has been curbed, but in the minds of
the people 1t is rampant and cannot be
obliterated by the actions Of President
or Congress. The promise to reform
the iniquities of the tariff after elec-
ton will probably be made in the plat
form Of the Republican national con.
vention, but the evident intention be-
ing to catch the votes of reformers and
then still 'let well enough alone" will
be too palpable to fool the voters.
High trust prices are an object lesson
that too many are suffering from and
the promise Of reform at some distant
date will hardly curb their impatience.
When the tariff barons refuse to al
low the ratification of the reciprocity
treaties which were intended to aid
our export trade, how can the Republi-
cans, no matter what promises they
may make in national Platform, be ex-
pected to revise the tariff? When they
decline to carry out law of their own
making which would reduce in small
measure the profits Of two or three
small monopOlies. Of what value are
their promises to pass a law that
would force competition on all the tar
iff monopoliists.
With the Republican majority in
Congress. bound by fetters of steel to
the tariff barons, 1t is absurd to ex-
pect them to strike off the shackles.
and they never will do it.
