posed to the rule of corporate wealth.
Mr.. Clarke, the democratic candidate
against Mr.. Hanna for the senate, was
against the party in 1896; he helped the
that year and last fall avoided
the money question. Was that satisfac-
tory to the 6nanciers? Not at all. In
spite of the fact that all the republican
papers reproduced his speeches against
free silver he was beaten worse than any
senatorial candidate in recent years.
Why experiment longere Concessions
and compromises are not expedient even
if they were right. Try to draw plat
form without reafirming the Kansas City
platform and see what the result will be.
No honest statement of the party's posi-
ton can be made without indorsing the
position taken in 1900. The whole aim
of the reorganizers is to secure an ambig.
uous platfoam with which to fool the
people and presidential candidate under
secret pledge to the money magnates.-

The Money Question as an Issue

The money question was declared to be
the paramount issue in 1896; in 1900 it
was expressly declared not to be the par
amount issue, but that it is an issue is
perfectly evident to any one who Will
read the papers published by the reorgan-
izers. These papers show that they
regard the money question as an issue In
two ways: First, they make that the test
in the selection of candidates. The man
may favor high tariff or low tariff or he
may have no opinion at all on the tariff
question, but he must believe in the gold
standard and be willing to allow the
financiers to do his thinking for him.
And so with other minor questions, but
on the money question the candidate to
obtain favorable mention must be sound
according to Wall street standards. This
proves that with the fiuanciers the money
question is not only one of the issues, but
really the paramount issue. Second. why
are the reorganizers so alarmed when
silver is mentioned IF it is dead issue,
why make such fuss over every reference
to it? If it is lifeless and has no support
ers, how can it justify conservative
democrats" in boiling? The very fact
that the reorganizers are so afraid of the
money question is proof that there is life
enough in it to prevent its burial by its
friends.
The truth of the matter is that the re-
organizers are trying to deceive the rank
and file of the party and it makes them
mad to be discovered and exposed. They
know that some phase of the money
question is always before congress and
lacking the courage TO meet the issue
honestly they seek an advantage under
cover of deceit. They also know that
back of all the surface issues is the con-
trolling one, namely, whether the money
changers or the people shall control the
government. To surrender the money
question would not conciliate the reor-
panizers. Take the result in Ohio. Tom
Johnson expressly denied that he favored
free silver and yet ne was as bitterly de-
nounced as if he had been an original
silver man. Why? Because he was OPP

The "Whiq" Wants Its 6rog.

The Wing is moving for Greater
Elkton," and wants to start with licensed
saloons, the grog shops being IN the
estimation of that paper one OF the prime
requisites for the advancement OF the
towns prosperity.
During the campaign in this county
against the legalized rum traffic 1t was re-
peatedly asserted by the liquor advocates
that the closing of the saloons in the
county would result in little short OF wide
spread disaster and untold loss to the
business interests. How true this rld1c-
ulous assertion, which is one of the stock
arguments of the rummies, has proven, IN
this section at least, is shown by the tone
of the advertisements of a number OF the
business houses of our town OF Rising
Sun, at the beginning of the new year,
after the saloons had been closed by law
for nearly year. Reference to the hies
of the MIDLAND shows that, Judg-
ing from their New Year greeting
the business houses of this town
have not suffered as a result OF
the whiskey drought, which 1t was
asserted would cause the business OF the
county to dwindle and almost fall into
slaves from the "dryness," like the par
rels. which in license times held plentl-
full supply of the ardent for the thirsty
tipplers. In refutation of the Wings
pitiful wall for liquor license as neces-
sary attribute TO prosperity, we quote ex-
tracts from advertisements of business
firms of this town, published in our issue
of Jan. I, 1904. From the following does
it look like the closing of the saloon has
brought financial disaster to the business
interests of this town "The closing OF
1908 marks wonderfully successful year
with us. The rapid strides in the volume
of our trade will lead us to offer you larger
stocks than ever before"
And another 1--WE made many PROM
Uses through the columns of this paper
during the year 1908 What we were
doing and what we proposed to do, in the
way of handling our class of merchandise
must have been fulfilled, or our partons
would not have run our sales to point
never before reached in the history OF
our business"
And still another: "There has never
been a more successful and prosperous
season than the year 1908. Our business
has been the largest and most prosperous
in the history of the house"
In the face of these plain facts we fail
to see why the grog shops are SO essen
tial to the business interests of Elkton or
any other town, or how the adoption OF
liquor license law can be an innovation
Ahat common sense points out as worthy
of support" as the Wing AYERS.

When You Have a Cold.

The first action when you have cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. This
Remedy liquefes the tough mucus and
causes its expulsion for the air cells of the
lungs, produces free expectoration, and
opens the secretions. A complete cure
soon follows. This remedy will cure a
severe cold m less time than any other
treatment and it leaves the system in a
natural and healthy condition. 1t coun-
teracts any tendency toward pneumonia.

The exhibit will include examples of

of ancient Colombia, Mexico, and Peru
will be reproduced; also models, made to
scale, of three temples from South
Mexico. There will be large and beau

aided by very simple appliances, there
will be desire to accomplish similar

In his last message to Congress the
President recommended promotion by
selection, in the army, on the ground that
the best men could thus be kept at the
head. But the General Staff of the Army
has unanimously vetoed the proposition,
being of the opinion that such selections
by the President without regard to rank
would create too much discomfort among
officers in the line of promotion.
