Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is only
one way 10 cure deafness, and that is by con-
st:tutiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear.
ing, and when ii is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out aud this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh. which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness caused by catarrh) that con.

Leifer nenes che Union.

Labor unions at Zeigler nor any
where else can put a collar around my
neck aud give me orders what kind OF
labor | shall buy with my money. When
| 90 into the market to purchase labor
| propose to retain just as much freedom
as does purchaser in any other kind OF
market. The union at Zeigler can

Such was the declaration of Joseph Lei
ter last night on his return TO Chicago
from Washington, where he has been
attending the wedding of his sister,
formerly Miss Nancy Letter, to Major
Colin Campbell "There is no difficulty
whatever in obtaining labor said
Mr.. Letter, "lor the country is full OF
unemployed men, and plenty of them
do not belong to the unions"
Mr. Letter gave emphatic denial to a
report that il was intended to sell the
Letter mansion in Washington. "There
is no truth whatever in the story" he
said "Nor is there any truth in the
story that my mother and unmarried
sister contemplate leaving America per
msnently. We are here to say"

REPRESENTATIVE BAssETT, of New
York, introduced bill in the House
yesterday which provides for better pro-
tection against fire on steam vessels car
rying passengers and for the protection
Of life on vessels generally. The object
OF the bill is to require fire-proof ma
terial, as far as possible. to be used in
the construction of steamers which are
TO transport passengers. Provision Is
made that all movable benches, chairs
or stools on such vessels shall be so con-
structed that they will have sufficient
buoyancy to serve as life-presorvers.
Measures on this line should have been
adopted years ago, and such terrible mis-
haps as the burning of The General
Slocum would have been avoided.

For Tariff Revision.

Representative Fordney, republican
(MichO. introduced resolution 10 the
House yesterday providing for the APP
pointment of ten members of the House
to constitute a commission to be known
as the tariff revision commission. "
1t will be the duty OF the commission to
thoroughly consider the question OF
tariff revision and report TO Congress on
the opening day Of the next Congress,
December 1905.
Representative Robert Baker, of New
York, known to fame as "Anti-pass
Baker," offered two antitrust resolu-
tons in the House yesterday.
The one recites that "the tariff is a
fraud on the American people wherever
It is levied on any article whose labor
cost is less in the United States than
elsewhere; that Charles NJ. Schwsb
declares that English steel manufac-
turers can not produce steel rails at less
than 81 ton in excess of the cost OF
manufacturing them in this country,
that tax of $7.64 a ton is levied on
the steel rails brought to the United
States, and that, therefore, Resolved
that this despicable fraud upon the
American people be stopped, by put
ting steel rails on the free list, until such
time as the United States Steel Cor
poration furnishes conclusive evidence
that the amount paid by them to their
employees is greater than that paid by
the English steel rail manufacturers"
The other resolution recites that it is
generally known that combination
exists whereby buyers because of limited
production are compelled pay exorbitant
prices that this combination exacts the
enormous profit of SIC on a ton of steel
rails, equal to 1873 'er cent OF the cost
of production, that it is in violation Of
the United States statutes and that,
therefore, be it ResOlved-"That the
Attorney General OF the United States
be directed to communicate forthwith
to this House his opinion as to what
extent these acts constitute a violation
of the law and what steps, if any, he has
taken to prosecute criminally, those
forming the combination.

TUESDAY EVENING. DEC. 6, 1904.

President ROOSEVELT sent his an.
mail message to Congress toda}. 1t IS
h,lkv document and, like all such
state papers. is resume OF much with
.ybich the country is already familiar.
4. NAV have been expected, he dwells
unon what he terms the prosperous con-
d;,ion of the country, and coolly appro-
or;a,es all the praise for the party ne
renresents, saying that the important
f,c.op in producing such conditions l.
The "long.continued government poll
c;es - He cautions Congress against
ev,ravagance. and says "the cost OF do
ing government business should be reg
Mated with the same rigid scrutiny as
the cost of doing private business.
In another place, however, he urges 'ne
building of a large navy, and makes no
n,o,est against the lavish expenditures
90 patent In every branch of the govern
ment He calls attention though to
large waste of money in printing and
binding certain documents in the gov
ernment printing Office which are seldom
read BY any save the printers and proof
readers The President deyotes con-
siderable portion of his message to the
issues incident to the struggle between
capital and labor, and among Other
thinos thinks there should be organized
labor in order TO better secure the rights
of the individual laborer, and recognizes
tie fact that labor unions, when con-
dne,ed upon conservative and sensible
,ines have been effective agents III
working for good citizenship and for up
Hitting the condition of those whose well
fare should be closest to our hearts
The President, however, frowns upon
such organizations when they attempt
10 achieve proper ends by improper
means. He says that wageworkers have
the right to organize and legal right to re
fuse to work in company with men who
decline to join their unions, but that
they have no right to commit violence
against those who refuse to support their
ORGANIZATIONS. The President makes OBJ
servations concerning the employers
liability law, recommends medals OF
honor to those who by their heroism en-
danger their own lives to save Others
from the perils Of the sea and recon-
mends certain safeguards Tor the proven
ton of railroad accidents. In regard to
employees of the government and their
obligations to labor unions the President
SAWS the government can neither discrim-
mate for nor discriminate against nom
union men who seek employment under
the government. He also throws out a
menace to municipal or rural letter car
rlers who may band themselves together
for the purpose of defeating Congressman
who refuse to give promises concerning
increase of pay which they may be con-
scientiously opposed to. The Bureau OF
Labor is given an extensive review, as
are also corporations, which he thinks
should be managed with due regard to
Ghe interests of the public. "When
this can be done under the present laws
it should be done Where these laws
come short Others should be enacted to
supplement them" Much follows con-
corning the Bureau of Corporations and
its duties. The remainder of the mes
sage treats of routine matters.
