ERiTONS CURIOUS AS TO HOW
THEY WILL VIEW CHAMBER
LAlN'S FISCAL PLAN.
CRITICS ARE ALREADY GETTING BUSY
CONTEND THE FORMER COLONIAL
SECRETARYS ARGUMENTS
ARE NOT LOGICAL.

London. Oct. S.-While there is no
evidence of rush on the part Of the
exponents of public opinion or OF the
electorate to give Joseph Chamber
lain's fiscal proposal immediate en-.
dorsemcnt there is ample proof OF a
desire exhaustively to examine his
programme and accept or reject it on
its merits rather than on party lines.
1t is realized that the attitude OF the
colonies is probably the most impor-
tant factor in his scheme and what
they will say to his statement that
they are prepared to contribute To-
wards imperial preferential trade will
largely determine the ultimate deci-
sion of this country. The critics ct
the former secretary for the colonier
claim that his whole diagnosis OF the
present state of the trade of the Unit
ed Kingdom hangs on statistical
blunder in the comparison OF the eX-
ports of 1902 with those OF 1872. The
latter year was notoriously phenome-
nal as an export year because OF the
requirements of Germany and France
after the war between those two coun-
tries, and it is pointed out that Great
Britain furnished the great bulk OF
these and that her exports consequent
ly bounded up from 81, 5,000,0 600 in
1871 to S0,000,000 in 1872, after
which they gradually receded to the
same total as in 1871. 1t is therefore
contended by the critics that the whole
fabric of Mr. Chamberlain argumen
is based on an elementary error and
that while his fiscal arithmetic is IL
logical his promises are Hypothetical
and improved. 1t is anticipated that
the colonies will resent Mr.. Chamber
lain's suggestion that their colonial
manufacturing growth should be
thwarted for the benefit of British
manufacturers. On the whole the for
mer colonial secretary's pronounce
ment is not unfavorably received. On
the Stock Exchange the various de-
partments opened with better all
round tone. Consols hardened.

London, Oct. 8-Jacob M. Dickin-

COMPLETELY WRECKED.
Another Attempt to Launch Langley
Flying Machine.

Whitewater, Va, Oct. S.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made during the
day to launch the Langley flying ma
chine. The machine went about 100
yards and is complete wreck.
The machine at no time seemed to
travel under it's own motive power,
but only went with the momentum 1t
received from the launching power.
Professor Manley who was in the aero
drome, was not injured. but he re-
ceived ducking. When the machine
struck the water it disappeared, but
only for a moment. The five empty
conical shaped floats performed their
functions we'll and the aerodrome was
soon floating on the water.
The big bird wings, which had eX-
tended II by % feet, were hanging
limp and bunglesome by the side OF
the frame: the propellors were
smashed to rags and splinters; the
rudder was wreck and the wire
framework was a tangled mass. H'he
main body of the aero Anne was
badly damaged but not beyond repair

fessor Manley, reached 100 revolu

Chronic Case Cured.

II cannot speak to highly of your remedies
and ! will always tell my friends how much
they have done for my husband and myself
for sudden attacks of headaches, neuralgia
and rheumatic pains There is nothing
equal to DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
are simply splendid and give relief in fifteen
or twenty minutes. / used to be subject to
attacks of headache. which had become
chronic, and took course of Nervine and
Nerve and Liver Pills in connection with the
Anti-Pain Pills. The result is / now have
very little trouble in that way. My husband
has also taken these remedies and praises
them very highly. We always have some of
both kinds Of pills in the house, and do not
feel that we could get along without them
Mrs KATE K. JOHNSON, McClellandsville,

There are many reasons why you should
take DR.. Miles Anti-P Pain Pills, but the best
reason is that they will give you almost instant
relief from headache or other pain In cases
of chronic headache, when the sufferer knows
an attack is coming on, a Pain Pill will usu-
ally prevent it entirely. In cases of extreme
nervous exhaustion, when the brain is too
tired and the body too nervous to rest, an
Anti. Pain Pill will sooth the nerves SO that
sleep may come. They never fail, yet con-
tain no opiates and are non-laxative.

tain no opiates, never sold in bulk, IS doses,

A DOMINATING FACT.
The Value of Protection as Pros.
perity Promoter Demonstrated.

The Value of Protection ~ q PrOs-
perity Promoter Demonstrated.
In reply to one Of Mr. Chamberlain's
recent protectionist speeches an Eng
lishman of good memory quoted
against the colonial secretary one of his
own free trade arguments made in 1881
The substance of Mr.. Chamberlain's re-
ply was circumstances have changed y
That was ready answer, but hardly
an adequate one. Indeed there is the
best reason for believing that Mr.
Chamberlain if he were entirely frank
would have admitted that changed cir
cumstances had less to do in causing
his abandonment of the free trade idea
than had the unparalleled progress and
prosperity of the United States under
its self devised and self maintained sys-
tenn of protection.
In this republic 1t has been demon
strated that protection is neither the
ory nor q condition. 1t is dominating
triumph of the American way of doing
things. There were doubts as to the
success Of the experiment when 1t was
entered upon. Some protectionists be-
lieved the policy could be safely aban-
doned when infant industries had
grown strong enough to compete with
foreign manufacturers. That idea is no
longer entertained, for it has been
proved by experience that the only way
in which American industries and
American labor can be saved from the
demoralizing and destructive compet-
ton Of the cheap products of foreign
labor is by the permanent maintenance
OF the protective system.
Protection has justified itself. BY the
marvellous prosperity it has been chief
ly instrumental in promoting it has put
an end once and for all to the notion
that 1t was merely an expedient to be
abandoned when the eXigencies that
brought it into being had passed. 1t Is
now a fixed principle in American pol
icy which can neither be attacked nor
threatened even without grave disturb
ance of industrial and financial condi-
tons.
Other nations have of late taken up
the American idea and put 1t into prac-
tice to q greater or lesser extent but so
far their action has had not the slight
est effect upon our prosperity. Whether
or not the adoption of imperial protec-
ton by Great Britain will affect us adj
versely will cause little concern at this
time. The nation which has to buy a
large part Of the commodities that feed

PLATFORM OF 1904.

Shall We Stand by Protection or
Lean Toward Free Tradef
One Of the captains Of industry, one
of the leading business men of the
United States, large employer Of
labor and a man Of wide experience
in national and international affairs,
one whose name, were we permitted to
use 1t, would instantly command at
tention and respect, writes to the
American Economist as follows:
Certain men, and we have such in
the Republican party, seem to think
that the way to retain power is to COM
those that don't believe in this, as far
as principles are concerned. The Re-
publican party either believes in pro-
lection or it does not. If 1t does, it Is
not for us to break it down. If it does
not, there is no reason for protection
lists, as such, to sustain the Republican
party. This is point that some Of the
disorganiZers want to comprehend. The
fact is that there is danger of losing
more votes by going toward free trade
than can be gained from the enemy by
such action. If this is not understood
before our next national platform Is
framed, / think we shall have an era
Of reduced tariff under Democratic
auspices as a result, and should pre-
fer this to a damaging reduction un-
der Republican auspices.
''There Is another thing that should
prefer-viz, reduction all along the
line rather than destruction of indus
tries by SO called reciprocity or sin
Cling them out for destruction. The
reciprocity platforms of the Republic
an party heretofore have not proposed
any injury to American Industries, but
l see that the presidents message sug-
gested substantially that if gain were
to be made for one industry by an in
jury to a lesser one 1t might be all
right. This is dangerous ground"
The national Republican platform of
1904 is soon to be written. Who will
write II, and how shall it be writteni
In the letter above quoted there is food
for thought along these lines. Events
in the session of congress soon to close
and In the Fifty eighth congress. to as
semble next December, will largely de-
termine the character of the platform
Of 1904. They will determine whether
the Republican party is to be partly for
protection and partly for free trade or
wholly for protection. Much depends
upon that decision, much more, we I'M
agine. than some people seem to think
at the present time. In the midst of
the many schemes which have for
their animus a relaxation of the doc
rine, policy and practice of protec-
ton it would be well to pause long
enough to consider what the platform
OF 1904 is to be. 1t is grave ques-
ton.

A TRINITY OF EVILS.
Cured by CAL cura Solvent, the Great New
Medicine, After Other Treatment Had Failed.
Your Money Back II It Does Not Cure.

Mr.. Martin Montgomery of Silvara, Pa,
formerly of Roxbury, N. Y, writing to DR..
David Kennedy, of Kennedy Row, said:
"Your neao medicine, Cal-cura Solvent,
is wonderful 1t cured me of liver and kid
ney troubles, and rheumatism, after lot of
weary dosing with things that did no good.
1t is record breaker and no mistake"
As in Mr.. Montgomery's case, rheuma-
tism is often, indeed almost always, COM
plicated with kidney and liver trouble.
1t is because Cal-cura Solvent acts on the
kidneys and liver and at the same time ex-
pels uric acid from the blood that it is such
a reliable remedy for rheumatism and the
attendant disorders. 1t cures by removing
the cause. therefore the cure is permanent
safe and sure.
If your druggist does not have Cal-cura
Solvent, write to the Cal-cura Company,
Rondout, NY; but ask your druggist first.
