TIE HEARST BOOM.
MOVEMENT FOR FREE TRADE
BEHIND 1T.
caIamitous Results That Followed the
Adoption Of This Policy in 1892
Would Repeat ThemselveG-Work'
lngmen Will Do Well to Remember.

The boom Of William Randolph
Hearst for the Democratic Presiden-
tial nomination in 1904 may be said to
have been launched at a mass meet
ing held in Washington on the 18th Of
August. The ambitious Individual in
whose behalf this movement has been
organized is the reputed possessor Of
fortune Of several millions of dol
lars, represented, in great part, by a
number Of daily newspapers, whose
columns appear to be chiefly conse-
Grated to the destruction of wealth
belonging to other people. 1t Is upon
this platform that Mr.. Hearst hopes
to reach the Presidency. At present
he Is merely Tammany Congress
man from a New York city district. In
journalism he enjoys the distinction
of issuing each day in four different
cities the very worst lot Of newspa-
pers of large circulation and vicious
influence known in any part of the
CT JiliZed world. UpheaVal, revolution,
anarchy, assassination If need be,
seem to be the guiding principles in
these publications.
The mass meeting of August 13 in
Washington was ostensibly engi-
neered by persons claiming to repre-
sent organized labor. In the name Of
American labor the Hearst presiden-
tial boom Is thrust forward. BY ap-
pealing to the unreason and the pas
sions Of American wage.earners 1t is
hoped to realize the political ambition
Of man whose program and platform
involve the ruin of labor and industry.
Down with All Trusts!" That Is the
battle cry Of the Hearst boomers. How
shall the trusts be downed? BY the
repeal of the Dingley tariff and the
establishment of free trade. That is
the trust remedy chiefly relied upon,
almost wholly relied upon. When the
protective tariff is swept away the
trusts will disappear. Such is the
Hearst promise and plan. Take free
trade out Of the Hearst propaganda
and nothing remains.
Workingmen who are now employed
all the year round at the highest wage
rate ever known in this or any other
country, wage earners whose deposits
In savings banks have increased in the
past six years Of a protective tariff
from less than $4,000, 100000 to nearly
$4,000, 100000 are expected to rally to
the support of political movement
whose ultimate aim Is to wreck all
industry and stop all prosperity. The
work people and wage earners did
something Of this kind in 1892, and
paid the penalty in loss of employ
ment and wages, in the melting away
Of accumulated savings, in the power
ty, hunger and untold sufferings of
themselves and their wives and chill
dren. Evidently the Hearst boomers
think American workingmen have
short memories.-American Econo-

financial loss covers a wide extent.
At Hobart, the county seat of XII
owa county, the fire approached from
the east, destroying the stables and
fifteen race horses, fifteen residences,
two business houses and various
small buildings. Spreading to the
southwest, the fire swept $4,000 acres
Of government military and timber re-
serve and Indian school reserve.
Spreading westward, the flames
covered miles Of the homestead dis
trict, destroying houses, barns and
stock.
Five thousand people of Lawton
fought the fire for hours. The advance
line of the fire was fully two miles
in length. BY hard work they saved
the town.

A prairie fire of unusual fierceness,
driven by a terrific gale from the
north, which at times reached a We

over $4,000 acres in Comanche coun-

THE NEW OHIO SENATOR.
Gen. Dicks Career In Many Respects
Remarkable One.

Gen. Dick is the first man Of mod
crate means whom Ohio has sent to
the senate since the days of Senator
Thurman. He has no fortune. In
fact, Tom L. Johnson last fall made
one Of the issues of his campaign the
fact that Dick publicly acknowledged
that the chairman of the Republican
state committee did not pay his bills
Dicks has been busy life, but it has
not been devoted to money-getting
His career has been a remarkable one.
Fifteen years ago, when he was about
80 years of age, he was proprietor Of
a very small -four and feed store in his
home city Of Akron.

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new
things Of everyday use in the market
and who is reasonably satisfied with
the old, we would suggest that trial
of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
made at once. Not alone because 1t
is guaranteed by the manufacturers
to be superior to any other brand,
but because each 10c package con-
tains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds
contain but IL ozs. It Is safe to say
that the lady who once uses Defiance
Starch will use no other. Quality

A PhYslclan,s Advice.

Yorktown, Ark, March 7th.-Dodd's
Kidney Pills must not be COMPOUNDED
with the ordinary patent medicine.
They are new discovery, specific
for all diseases Of the Kidneys and
have been accepted by physicians
only after careful tests in extreme
cases. DR.. Leland Williamson, of this
place heartily Endorses Dodd's Kid
ney Pills "as a remedy for the vari-
GUS forms of the diseases of the Kid
neys, pains in the back, soreness in
the region Of the Kidneys, foul-smell-
ing urine and cloudy or thickened con-
dition of the urine, discharges Of pus
or corruption. Gout, Rheumatism, In
flammation and Congestion of the Kid
neys and all kindred complaints"
Continuing he says:
Il could mention many cases In
which have prescribed Dodd's Kid
ney Pills with success. For instance,
Mr.. Robert Weeks, farmer, malaria,
haematuria or swamp fever three
times, kidneys weakened, continual
pain and soreness In back, which
made him very nervous, had q little
fever and sometimes chilly. Urine
changeable, but generally very high
colored; an old chronic case who had
taken much medicine with little eff
feet. After taking Dodd's Kidney Pills
about six weeks he was entirely
cured and had gained fifteen pounds
in weight. The last time l saw him

More Work for the Policeman.

The Journals prediction that the
United States would soon have to ex.
ercise police power over the semi.
savage republics OF San Domingo and
Hayti is being swiftly fulfilled.
A delayed cablegram from San Do.
mingo says that marines from the
Newark and Columbia have had a
pitched battle lasting three hours with
the insurgents, who were routed with.
out the loss Of even one American life.
The insurgents began the trouble by
firing on the launch of the Newark and
on a commercial steamship owned in
New York. Four hundred marines
were promptly landed under cover of
the guns of the Newark and the Co
lumbia, which shelled the insurgent
camp; and they engaged the Domln.
gans, who lost two Of their generals
killed. one wounded. several officers
captured, and sixteen men killed and
wounded.
After inflicting this punishment the
United States forces withdrew and the
Newark sailed for Guantanamo.
Evidently the situation in San Do
mingo is becoming intolerable. The
barbarian degenerates who inhablt
that part Of the island are only one de-
gree better than the negroes who com.
pose the population Of Hayti. They are
not At to govern themselves, and they
are becoming menace to the peace OF
the whole Caribbean region.

New York Fire Chief Would Engage

Fire Chief Croker has signalized his
return to the New York fire depart
ment by making recommendations to
the civil service examiners which ap-
peal very strongly to the New York
public on the score of horse sense, He
says the rules for examinations should
be altered so as to admit longshore-
men, gripmen, truckmen and sailors,
who, he says, make the best firemen.
The reason they do not apply for posi-
tons is, according to Chief Croker,
owing to the fact that the examina-
lions are too clerical in nature. They
bar a class such as enumerated above,
peculiarly well equipped for the kind
of work that a fireman Is called upon
to do and whose services would prove
a great value to the department.
