Gives Health, Vigor and Tone.

Heroine is boon for sufferers from aneamia. By it's use the blood is quickly regenerated and the color be- comes normal. The dropping strength is revived. The languor is diminished. Health, vigor and tone predominate. New life and happy activity results. Mrs. Belle H. Shirel, Middleborough, Ills, writes: "I have been troubled with liver complaint and poor blood, and have found nothing to benefit me like Heroine. l hope never to be without it. l have wished that l had known it in my husbands life time." soc. a bottle at J.

A1aska's Trade.

The official statement of the value of the Alaska trade in 1903 is S25,476,601. This does not include the exports from Alaska direct to foreign countries which amounted to S1,5S9,360, or the. shipments of foreign gold and silver through the territory, whict would add another S10329S59 to the total, and this, does not take into account the gold shipped from Canadian territory down the Yukon. Neither does it include anything for the immense business of transporting goods across Alaskan ter ritory in bond, to the value of about s55ooOOO
 Last year was by far the greatest year in the history of the Alaska trade. An accurate comparison, however, is impossible, for the treasury department did not begin to keep record of the Alaska commerce until the middle of 1902, and approximate values only for the time prior to July l of that year are obtainable.
 The merchandise shipments alone last year amounted to almost s2O,0Oo,- GOO, the cargoes in both directions be- ing taken into account, and gold and silver being let out of consideration.
 Alaska sent more merchandise to the United States last year than was sent from the United States to Alaska, the balance in favor of the territory being larger, probably, than in any previous year.
 The value of domestic merchandise sent from the United States to Alaska was s9,51S,O43, and the shipments south ward were placed at S9,620,969.
 Gold and silver shipments from the territory, amounted to s6,307,2 ,22S, and the shipments of the same class in the opposite direction were S30,361.

Populist State Platform.

We endorse the national platform
as adopted at Springfield, Iii. July
4, 1904, and pledge our allegiance
to the candidates there nominated.
We demand the repeal of the pres
ent revenue law, passed by the last
republican legislature, and the en-
actment of a law that will place
the burden of taxation where it be-
longs, so that corporations, as we'll
as individuals, and rich as we'll as
poor, shall each pay taxes accord
ing to the amount of property
owned, and we pledge our candi-
dates to work for such a law.
We arraign the republican party
of this state for its extravaganza
and for the increase of public ex-
penditure since it came into power
and point to the fact that the re-
publican administration has great
ly increased the burden of taxation
as shown by the official figures, as
follows:
The last fusion legislature ap-
propriated 81, 335, S43, and the last
republican legislature appropriate
ed So, 7O4,2SO. The late fusion adj
ministration reduced the state debt
$677,O 93 in four years, while in
three years Of republican admins
tration the state debt has been in
creased 1886, 729. We hereby
pledge our candidates to a policy
of strict economy in public expen-
ditures. We demand that the
next legislature shall enact a law
which shall effectually insure to
all persons, associations and cor
porations equal shipping and ele-
vator site privileges On all rail
roads in this state.
We demand that steps shall be
taken to revive the operation of the
maximum freight law by suitable
proceedings in court if that can be
done, or in lieu thereo of that legis-
lation shall be enacted to regulate
and reduce the prevailing high
freight rates.

James G.. Blaine once said the
following in regard to the demo-
cratic nominee for the vice-presi-
dency. Henry G. Davis a native
of Maryland entered as the first
democratic senator from West Vir-
ginia. His personal popularity
was large factor in the contest
against the re oublicans of his state
and he was naturally rewarded by
his party as its most influential
leader. Mr.. Davis had honorably
wrought his own way to high sta
ton and had been all his life in ac-
tive affairs. As farmer, a rail-
road man, a lumber man, an oper-
ator in coal, banker, he had been
uniformly successful. He came to
the senate with that kind of prac-
tical knowledge which schooled
him to care and usefulness as
legislator. He steadily grew in
the esteem and confidence of both
sides of the senate and when his
party attained the majority he was
entrusted with the responsible
duty of the Craftsmanship of the
committee on appropriations. No
more painstaking or trustworthy
man ever held the place. '-Hum-

Rising markets, the big crops
and increasing exports Of manu-
facturers make poor subjects for
the democratic calamity howlers.
Valentine Republican.
What does our stockmen think
of such statement! Why wOuldn' t

Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1904-10-06

The state may, to meet casual
deficits or failures in the revenues
contract debts never to exceed in
the aggregate one hundred
thousand dollars; and no greater
Indebtedness shall be incurred ex-
cept for the purpose of repelling
invasion, suppressing insurrection
or defending the state in war"
Read that again. 1t may sur
prise you, but it is a fact that it is
a part of the constitution of the
state of Nebraska. The fusion
administration reduced the state
debt five thousand dollars, but
counting what Mickey has run it
behind the debt is now about two
millions of dollars. All this under
republican administration in vio-
lation of the constitution. This is
not politics; it is a fact. The wise
farmer who pays the whole bill
walks up to the booth each year
and votes the same old way and
the boys, too have reached their
majority and are voting as dad
did. 1t is hard on the consti-
tution.-Loup County News.
