by a republican congress for the very
purpose OF preventing rebates and dis
examinations. 1t declares that "a pri-
vate monopoly is indefensible and in
tolerable," but fails to state that I'M
der the republican administration such
monopolies have been brought tefore
the courts and suppressed. It de.
mands an enlargement of the powers
of the Interstate commerce commits
sion, but fails to state that republi-
can congress has extended the pow
ers OF such commission for the pro-
duction of testimony, and that re-
publican attorney general has acted
under such law. 1t demands "a strict
enforcement of the existing civil and
criminal statutes against all such
trusts, combinations, and monopolies. "
but it fails to set forth the many in
stances where republican administra.
tons have enforced the existing laws.
1t demands the enactment of further
Legislation to effectually suppress
trusts, but fails to state that a republi-
can congress has enacted law under
which all information necessary for
such legislation can be and is being
obtained.
The democratic candidate for the
presidency has said that trusts have
multiplied in number and increased in
power because "of the failure of off.
cials charged with the duty of enforc-
ing the law to take the necessary pro.
cedure to procure the judgments of
the courts in the appropriate iurisdic-
TONS" thus wilfully ignoring the long
list of successful prosecutions which
have been conducted by the executive
officers OF this administration.

REPUBLICAN, (cENTER) TOWN

cANNoN,s voLLEYs.

Hon. Joseph Cannon, speaker of the
national house of representatives is
one OF the old school of political ora
tors-men who gave their thought
rather to the meaning of their words
than to the formation of beautiful SEN
fences. 1t is noticeable too, that these
mems speeches were always pregnant
with good, hard, substantial sense. Be-
reft OF all the fine nothings that do not
bear close inspection when the kerr
mel of thought is being searched for,
the old school speakers hurl their
words at their audiences for what
they are worth. And they are gener-
ally worth a great deal.
In the case Of Mr.. Cannon, he has
become SO widely famed for his eff
fective oratory, which is not oratory,
but plain talk. that 1t is needless to
enlarge on the fact here. But he has
reputation for saying something of
Importance every time he sets out on
an address. That this reputation did
not suffer during his speeches in Iowa
Is evident from the glowing reports
that have come from the few cities
favored by his presence. In Des
Moines he discussed reciprocity-Ca-
madam reciprocity-in way that left
no doubt as to his opinion on the SUBJ
ject and won for him the most enthu-
siastic applause. In plain words Mr..
Cannon explained republican reciproc-
ity and expended on the subject. He
said:
That is, republican reciprocity.
Reciprocity between other pro.
ducts and our products, we taking
their products that we cannot pro-
duse. That don't affect labor, but ben
efits it.
IS AS soon as our democratic friends
came in. they made haste to repeal
the Mckinley law and that kind of
reciprocity disappears They attack
ed reciprocity. have attacked it for
years. They did it in 1902. Now they
come up and say they want reciproc-
fty; but the kind they want is free
trade with other countries that make
the same kind Of goods and products
that we do.
They specially mention Canadian
reciprocity. What do they raise in
Canada cattle, hogs, poultry, and such
as that; hens lay eggs up there the
same as they do here Wheat, not
mucn corn,but generally the same kind
that we grow. Now, some of these
mugwHmps down in Massachusetts
want their things protected and our

Anyone who says the campaign is
a quiet one in Wisconsin is certainly
misinformed. Lincoln Steffens thought
he would stir UP little more trouble
than LaFollette had made-and he did.
Now Senator Spooner comes back and
says Steffens is several different kinds
of a prevaricator. Oh, it's good
campaign in the badger state.

NOTHING NEW.

The national democratic platform of
1904 offers nothing new-nothing help
full or even suggestive. 1t denounces
rebates and discrimination by trans
portation companies" but fails to
state that the Elkins law was passed

commenting on bryan'S altitude in
the present campaign, the Sioux City
Journal says: "He is like the man on
the stage who appears with very red
nose to make speech on temperance.
He is like the man who lost his ticket,
If he had one, and is beside the track
waiting for the train to go by; or at
the station, thinking of himself as
blind baggage.
The Des Moines Capital character
ICES Speaker Cannon as one of the
most interesting characters of our
modern politics. "He has been in the
arena long time says the Capital.
He has grown gray in the service of
the nation. The people of his own Il
linois district have stood by him with
unwavering loyalty. He has been
useful to them. They gave him the
opportunity. He used his abilities in
their behalf.
Secretary Shaw is the best speak
er in the campaign without any ex-
ception," declares the Carroll Herald.
''His crowds are the largest, his
speeches are the most widely quoted
and carry the deepest conviction. His
Insight into governmental affairs
and iutuitive knowledge of the prop
er policies to adopt, his plain and at
tractive manner of expressing his
thoughts, his nearness to his hearers,
are among the things that make him
popular before the country. It re-
quires no prophet to foresee that the
Hon. L. M. Shaw has not yet reached
his highest point in American poll
tics"
A democratic. newspaper refers to
Parker's letter as graphic state

publican thinks that photographic
would be better.

if it cared to it could make very
handsome list of democrats right in

In July, 1883, / began to breakout with
Eczema on my head, legs and arms, and
began treatment with local doctors, but
did not get much relief. They said the dis
ease had become chronic. I then quit them
and tried various ointments and soaps for
another two years, but as soon as cold
weather came was as bad off as ever, so I
finally decided toilet medicine alone, and
for twelve or thirteen years did nothing
towards curing the Eczema except BATH
ing. This seemed to do about as much
good as anything I had tried.
