That this candid statement reflects
the Democratic view and intention re
garding the tariff there is no room for
doubt. 1t is well to know where we
stand and what to expect. Tariff re-

what the Record says. 1t means that

Big Export Totals.

The statistics of the exports of do
nestle products, including breadstuffs,
live stock, provisions, raw cotton and
mineral oils, for the eight months up
to Feb. 20, show that the factors of
production on which the United
States has always relied for a large
share of it's foreign trade are still do
ing their work. The exports of bread
stuffs by themselves are the lowest
for six years, and show a steady and
rather unsatisfactory decrease since
1899. But the gain in other respects
particularly live stock, cotton and
mineral oils-more than counterbal-
ances this loss, and makes a total of
5000, 73O,956, or $4,000, 900 mere than
the total for 1901, which has hereto
fore been the banner year in this re-
spect. This gain is somewhat neu-
traliZed by the decrease in exports of
manufactures not statistically report
ed in the bulletin before US. But the
grand totals still leave a comfortable
margin in our favor from our foreign
trade.

The Man Who Knows.

"a petition asking the two great po-

people that they will ultimately be

asks. l sincerely hope the Republican
party will not be led into any such
declaration. The time for

erations. A people 80 per cent of
whom are still in a state of gross
ignorance, and all of whom have been
for 400 years denied any experience of
Seif-government at all, cannot be made

of that act would be one of the first
steps in legislative procedure to be
taken after the Democratic party
should have obtained full control of
national affairs After that? Another
specimen of Democratic tariff making
of the sort that was inflicted upon the
country in 1894. Tariff reform ten
years later will need no new defini-
ton. 1t remains always the same, al
ways hostile to the principle and pol
icy of protection, always ruinous to
business, always destructive of pros
perity. This year the Democratic par

itself to tariff reform, and the country
will know precisely what to anticipate

How to Keen House.

With all the luxuries and pleasures
of this life, its big enjoyments and its
smaller comforts, there is an Offset or
antithesis which we have to contend
with in the form of aches and pains.
In some way and by some means
every one has a touch of them in
some form at some time. Trifing as
some of them may be, the risk is
that they will grow to something
greater and rack the system with con-
slant torture. There is nothing, there

right to trif1e with Taken in time,
the worst forms of pains and aches
are easily subdued and cured by the
free use of St Jacobs OIL No well
regulated household ought to be with
out a bottle of this great remedy for

tration in ST. Jacobs Oil that carries
it right to the pain spot and effects a

Struggle for Its Possession Is Whai
Moves the World.
A doctor at Butte, Mont, indorses
the assertion made by many miners
Whereabouts that a peculiar ore found
in zinc blende and emitting violet
light possesses remarkable cura.
tive qualities when carried by them
in their pockets. The new mineral
for want of a better name, is called
.'radiumite.''
The Butte doctor has made an as
tonishing report to the Butte Medical
society, confirming the stories of the
miners in cases of rheumatism
stomach ailments, nervous and kin
dred disorders.
For ages the philosophers and al
chemists sought for a general cure
all in a stone. Later science has
laughed at them. From the stone to
the ore is but aashort step. But, when
all is said, the thing in the pocket that
cures the most ills is gold.
1t is not the possession of gold, but
the longing for it, that has filled the
world with the sweet hum of indus
try; not the storing of it, but the
striving for it that has brought to
mankind the blessings of resolve, eff
fort, health, content.

OLD AND NEW ISSUES
WEAKNESS OF EXPRESIDENT
cLEvELAND's POSITION.
While the Former Democratic Leader
Criticises Organism, He Forgets
That the Questions He Raises Also
Have Been Passed Upon.

Grover Cleveland has declared his
belief that there is an opportunity for
Democratic success in the coming
presidential election.
But the former President names
conditions under which that oppor-
tunity must be embraced which will
not appeal to all the Democrats in
the land. He says in the first place
that the fighting forces of the Democ-
racy must not be summoned to a
third defeat in a strange cause. They
must be given the true rallying cry.
OF course he means that Organism,
in all its phases, must be abandoned.
"Obsolete issues and questions no
longer challenging popular interest"
he says, should be manfully aban-
doned." That, of course, applies to
the issues raised by Bryan, but in the
next breath Mr.. Cleveland urges the
raising of the issue of tariff reform,
and an appeal to the people for
economy in the expenditure of public
money, as well as an arraignment of
the Republicans for having made and
broken promises. He would also at
tack the Republican policy with re-
spect to the Philippines.
But is not Mr.. Cleveland toying
with obsolete issues himself? Did
not the American people put the seal
of their disGpproval upon tariff reform
in 1896? Did they not express their
approval of the Philippine policy in
