THE WAR WITH SPAIN.
Hypocrisy Of a New England ReDub
Hean Platform,

For sublime effrOntery and UDblush-
ing falsehOOd, it would be hard to beat
this declaration which appears in the
platform Of the New Hampshire Re
publicans: The Republican party,
since il was restored to power, has
fought a successful war with Spain"
1t is a matter Of history that the Nc
Kinley Administration did everything
in its power to avoid war with Spain,
but was forced to Undertake St be-
cause OF the popular agitation in1faYOr

Democrats as Republicans actively.
engaged in #, and the decisive blows
at Manila and Santiago were struck
By Dewey and Schley, both OF whom
are Democrats.
For what has been done in Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines since
the war was brought TO a successful
conclusion, the Republican party -

These include the negotiation Of
treaty with Cuba. which has helped
to make the Cubans our enemias Fsth-

some respects than they were when

all ND. the Republican party is entitled
to whatever credit il can get from the
substitution OF imperialism" Tor con

KTTEMPT 10 Isle



Commissioners of Pensions f =.
Ware undertakes 70 justify PRESIDENT
RooseTeIt's action IN the matter Of
the age limit pension order which is
declared to have been unconsdtud onal
By the Parker constitutional Club OF
New York and in cOntr1Tenti0n Of Sec
ton OF Article J., which reads as
follows;
''NO money shall be drawn from the
Treasury, but in consequence Of apprO-
priations made By law"
In the course Of his argument in de-
tense OF the Presidents action M.
Ware says:
eThe passage OF the appropriation
bin recognizing the validity Of the
order and voting the money TO carry It
out ended the consideration OF the rem
edies proposed"
That settles If, according TO the
reasoning OF hr. Ware, but the fact
remains that It was an action which ne
should not have presumed to take IN
der the power. Of making regulations
for carrying into effect the statute Of
Congress Congress had q right to en-
act that the attainment Of a certain
age created a presumption OF inability.
1t was besought TO do II and il refused.
1t has been beSought to do it at every
session since the disability act was
passed, and it has not done IT. The
proper discretion Of the Executive in
making regulations was limited to car
Tying out the law as enacted, and did
not include a regulation relieving the
applicant from the operation Of the law
which required that actual disability
should be established by proof. Ae-
cOrding to the new regulation, disabil-
ity needs not to be proved, but must
be assumed on an age basis, precisely
what Congress has never sanctioned.

ROUSES SUSPICION
Everlasting Habit OF Republicans Of
GraSping Credit For All Good.

Claiming all virtues for the Repub-

rather, tends to arouse suspicion that
the charges made against Republican
policies and practice cannot be dis
proved That the Iarif-fOstered trusts
are plundering the people by greatly
increasing the cost Of living is too pat
ent for a bold denial TO count with a
voter, who is paying from thirty TO
forty per cent. more for necessaries Of
living than in 1897.
Claiming that wages have been ad-
Tanced at the same ratio as the cost
Of living Will not convince the work
man that has had his wages reduced
that prosperity is rampant. although
Roosevelt may boast and Fairbanks
smiiingly may say 50.

BIT A SeRE SPOT
Discrimination Against Home Buyers
aad FaEoring Foreigners.

The Democratic charge that the
American people are paying higher
prices for articles Of domestic manu-
facture than are paid BY foreigners for
identical articles exported from the
United States has hit the G.. O. p. in
8 sore spot This subject IS gone into
very thoroughly IN the Democratic
Campaign book where Il is shown that
Americans are compelled to pay from
ten to thirty per cent. more for articles
made IN this country by protected"
manufacturers, than Is paid By Euro
Deans and Asistfcs for identically the
same articles made here and shipped
abroad Many instances Of such dis
elimination against our home people
are cited, particularly in the lines OF
agricultural implements and builders
hardware.
To break the force Of this charge the
State Department prints a string OF
statements made by American Con-
suls in European countries, in which
it is alleged that manufacturers in
England and Germany also sell manu-
featured articles abroad cheaper than
they do at home. 1t IS plain that these
statements were put forth under orders
from the Administration. and that little
care was taken TO have them accurate.
But even IL it be true that European
manufacturers sell their surplus odds
and ends" abroad at reduced prices.
as one Consul says they do. Of what
interest is that to the average Ameri-
can who is held up by our protect
ed manufacturers and cOmDelled to
pay. not for 'Odds and ends" but for
his farming tools and implements. his
engines and machinery. and scores Of
cent. more than his European brother
has to pay to the same manufacturer
for Ike articles?
The American people are not COM
planning because manufacturers ship
their "Odds and ends" to foreign cOun-
tries and sell them at low prices. Their
complaint is that they are discriminate
cd against in favor Of the foreigner;
that they are being robbed right and
left by manufacturers who shield
themselves behind the Dingley tariff.

TRADE JOURNALS PLEASED
Journal Of Commerce and New York
Commercial Gratlaed By Parker's
Letter,

There are two important daily news
papers published IN New York that are
distinctly devoted to the interests OF
trade and commerce. and both express
hearty approval OF Judge Park
er's views on political questions. as eE-
pressed in his letter OF acceptance.
These papers are the Journal OF Com
meree and the New York Commercial.
The former is Independent IN politics
but Of Democratic leanings. so that
what is has to say Of the letter may not
be as significant as are the utterauees
OF the Commercial, which also IS an
Independent journal. but with fnclin-
atoms toward Republication. The
Commercial expresses its appreciation
Of the letter. as q whole. calling Il
'digRifed. temperate and conserva-
tive, and calculated to win recruits
for the cause Judge Parker repre-
sents."

port Of Parker.
Persistent reports are being circu-
lated both East and West that Colonel
William ]. Bryan will not support the
Democratic nominees in the coming
Presidential election The latest OF
these reports is attributed to Chan

AT the present time" Chancellor
Andrews is quoted as saying, there is
every chance that Roosevelt viii secure

In complete refutation OF the sugges-

Colonel Bryan's attitude to the Ma

speech delivered by him in Missouri
In the early part Of the campaign, in
which he urged all Democrats to sup

course Of this speech, Colonel Bryan
said:

America. The Mex,ccns say that If
you go near cholla joint 1t will
jump at you. Certainly If you touch
one 1t will stick, and when you try
to free yourself it will pierce your
other hand as we'll. Each pendant
joint seems to reach out for the pass
erby. and the ground beneath the
broad cholla trees is strewn with
fallen fragments. many Of which
take root and grow.
After one has felt the sharp spines
through heavy boots and seen their
needle points, 1t is source of con-
tinual wonder to see the wild cattle
OF Arizona quietly browsing on chol-

thousands Of cattle carry themselves
over until the next grass by eating
chollas. With their leathery tongues
and lips they strip the spiny joints
from the trunk and leave the wide
spreading cactus a bare and woody
skeleton. 1t Is only the range cattle,

PILES
Cured Quickly and without Pain.

Cured Quickly and without Pain.
Their are pile remedies without num-
Der, but there is only one cure, and
that is the Pyramid Pile Cure, which is
In the form of a suppostory and is
applied directly to the seat of the
trouble.
Any physician will tell you that for
the proper treatment of Piles nothing
can compare with suppository, where.
as the greater number of preparations
that are offered to you for the treat
ment of this disease, are lotions. saIves
and ointments. Why? Because they
are not so expensive as suppostory,
which is bound to contain more costly
ingredients, and which requires special
machinery to make 1t; moreover, Il
suppository inserted up the rectum,
comes in direct contact with the cause
of the complaint, and no other form of
treatment does SO.
Wallace Goodman, Hallerton, P. Q.
Canada, writes: 81 have had two sur
gical operations for piles and they
were not success; after using three
boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure / feel as

have afflicted me for twenty five
years"
B. III. Palmer, Windsor, Calf. "Af-
ter suffering from piles for fifteen years
and trying different salves and oint.
ments in vain, was completely cured
by the use of two ffty-cent packages
of Pyramid Pile Cure"
These and thousands of similar let
tiers go to show that piles can be cured
are cured. Cured to stay cured Cur
ed SO they won't come back. Cured
without cutting. Cured without dan
ger. Cured without pain. Cured with
out detention from work. Cured with
out indicate examinations. Cured in
privacy of home. Cured by a self-ap-
piled treatment. Cured with very lit
tie expense. Cured without the
dread and publicity of waiting your
turn at the surgeons Office. Cured
without dangerous surgical opera
ton, its period of enforced invalidism,
tedious convalescense and heavy ex,
pense. You simply buy and apply q
cheap and convenient remedy, it does
the rest.
All druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure
at fifty cents a package, and we urge
all sufferers to write the Pyramid
Drug Co., Marshall, Mich, for their
little book on "The Causes and Cure
of Piles" which is sent free for the
asking.
