LIVING NOW COSTS LESS.
Prosperity and Plenty Is RobbinB
the Democrats of Their Party
War Cry.

Much has been said recently of the
high cost of living, and it is true that
as far as prices for the necessary com
modities are concerned 1902 has been a
record breaking year. But there have
been causes for this in natural condi-
tions entirely apart from the manipu-
lation of syndicates, to which the un-
thinking have been disposed to attrib-
ute the advance in prices, says the
Troy Times.
Last years short corn crop was one
of the principal causes producing the
advance in the prices of commodities.
This advance was felt not only in
cereals, but also in the prices of cat
tie and meats. In July, 1901, the index
prices of commodities in proportion to
consumption stood at 91.509. When
the damage to the corn crop became
fully known the index number rose to
95.330. In May of this year the ad-
vance in the prices of cattle and meats
as well as cereals sent the index up to
1O2.239.
But the enormous cereal crops of
this year have sent this preventative
figure from 1O2.239 in May to 99.579
November 1. The falling temperature
and its effect on eggs, milk and other
articles caused the slight advance to
100.449 on December /, but this figure
was lower than at the responding
date in 1901, which, when the prices
of coal owing to the strike are taken
into consideration, is a favorable show
ing.
With the large corn crop and the re-
duction in the price of meats, which
has already been announced from Kan
sas City, and with the better supply
of coal which may reasonably be eX-
pected, now that mining is resumed
in full, there is reason to be-
lieve that the cost of living will stead
lily decline, and that. when the great
prosperity and activity of the coun-
try are taken into consideration,
prices will not be cause for pessimis-
tic criticism. The New York CONNER
cial says:
altogether. It would seem that the in
deX number will not again rise to the
nSureS oil last spring. NhlIe II cannot be
hoped that the cost of living will be re
duced to the figures for 1896 ana 1S97-in-
deed such a decline would not be natural
in view of the general prosperity and busi-
ness activity existing throughout the
country-yet IL can be reasonably ex-
pected that the cost Of living will at least
be reduced to the level of 1883 and 1889.
When the general conditions existing
during the two periods are remembered
Snpb dgrljpa UOnl1 mako "a fpri1. d.
ly favorable comparison for the present
period of prosperity"
This result may rob the demo-
cratic party of war cry, but it will
be pleasing to purchasers of commodi-
ties, and will help to prove that the
reasons assigned by those who, from
political or other motives, attack the
present conditions in this country
have been, voluntarily or ignorautly,
deceptive.

RECORD OF THE PAST.

The best guarantee of the future IL
the record of the past, and over fifty
thousand people have publicly testified
that Doan's Kidney Pills have cured
them of numerous kidney ills, from
common backache to dangerous dia-
betes, and all the attendant annoy
ances and sufferings from urinary dis
orders. They have been cured to stay
cured. Here is one case:
Samuel j. Taylor, retired carpenter,
residing at 312 South Third ST., Goshen,
Ind, says: "On the 25th day of Au-
gust, 1897, I made an affidavit before
Jacob c. Mann, notary public, stating
nv experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills. [ had suffered for thirty years
and was compelled at times to walk
by the aid of crutches, frequently
passed gravel and suffered excruciat-
ingly. l took every medicine on the
market that l heard about, and some
gave me temporary relief. I began
taking Doan's Kidney Pills, and the
results I gave to the public in the state
ment above referred to. At this time,
on the 10Th day of July, 1902, I make
this further statement, that during
the five years which have elapsed l
have had no occasion to use either
Doan's Kidney Pills or any other med
icine for my kidneys. The cure effect
ed was a permanent one"

THE CAN'T" SUPERFLUOUS.
Timely and Wise Warming THAT
should BE Borne in Mind by
Legislators.

No bill that can be properly described
as 'anti-trust" deserves the considera
tion of the congress. ANTI" in this
connection has the meaning of 'hostile
to-" and there is no reason nor even
excuse for the enactment of legislation
hostile to all industrial combinations
that are loosely classed under the head
ing "truSts.' In his message, Presi-
dent Roosevelt sounded a warning
against hostility to these combinations
as such. We should be hostile only
to the evil that is in some of them,
says the Albany Journal.
This warning should be borne in
mind, for it is timely and wise. 1t
should be needed as well in the giving
of a name to legislation as in the franz
ing of a proposed law. Legislation re-
lating to trusts should be for their
regulation only, not for the accom-
plishment of the purpose indicated by
the use of the prefix in question. And
it should be described as trust legis-
lation." ''Anti-trust," applied to any
measure that might be justly enacted,
is as much a misnomer as 'anti-rail-
way" or "anti-insurance," or anti
bank" would be, applied respectively
to laws relating to the management
and operation Of railroads, insurance
companies and banks, and to the SUI
pervision of the two latter by state
governments and by the national gov
ernment, respectively.
Away with "anti-trust."

Henrik Ibsen, the Norwegian author,
loves to keep his hair in disorder.
This is said to be his one vanity. He
always carries a little toilet case, con-
tanning a looking glass and comb,
which are attached to the lining of his
gray hat. He will often remove his
hat to look into the mirror to see how
his hair is lying. If it is not rough
enough to suit his fancy he uses the
comb to give it the requisite tangle.

Hugh Spender, of the Westminster
Gazette, one of the British Journal
lists who visited Canada this summer
(1902), says: eve fell in with a
young farmer from Somersetshire,
England, driving binder round a
hundred acre field of wheat in West
ern Canada. In conversation / found
that he came from within fifteen
miles of my old home in Somerset
shire. Here was the very man we
wanted. He had come to Manitoba
ten years ago, with a capital of $12
on landing. In England he had been
employed on dairy farm, and earned
eighteen shillings a week. He now
owns 320 acres of land, his horses,
buildings and cattle, and expects to
have 1000 bushels of wheat this sea-
son. We had heard of such things
in the old land, but they did not seem
credible, until we came to this liv-
ing example of the strides that it is
possible to make in Manitoba. Had
this man remained in England, it is
pretty safe to say he would still be
earning no more than eighteen
shillings a week, while in the same
period in Manitoba he has become a
substantial and prosperous farmer"

try appears to be everything that the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have claimed for it. Good water can
be obtained almost anywhere from

springs. The natural hay and grass
were magnificent in their growth and
wild pea vines very heavy. l met
some of my friends who moved there
seven years ago and two brothers
who had absolutely nothing on their
arrival seven years before now own
two and a half sections of land and
175 head of cattle. They told me that

appeared to me that all grasses, wild
and cultivated, grow to perfection
in any part of Alberta that l saw,
and the farmers were cutting from
two to three tons of wild hay to the
acre. / found the climate very de-
sirable in every respect, and am told
that the winter is the finest part of
the year. There is plenty of coal and
wood to be had near at hand for the

cattle thereon. can confidently rec
