PERIL IN THE HAND.SHAKE.

Not long ago DR.. ]. N Hirsch, of Chicago,
said: "The most delicate perfume upon the
hands is not sign of freedom from germs,
and the most refined are not free from dis
ease of lungs or throat and the germs are
rapidly spread by touching the hand that
has handled the handkerchief of one afflict-
ed with a cold, catarrh or consumption.
The breath one inhales from the lungs of
another may contain germs of disease" You
will not only be able TO resist the germs of
consumption, but many thousands of cases
have been known where persons who were
suffering from incipient phthisis, or the
early stages Of consumption were absolutely
cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t maintains a persons nutrition
by enabling him to eat, retain, digest and
assinilate food. 1t overcomes the gastric
irritability and symptoms of indigestion,
and thus the person Is saved from those
symptoms of fever, night-sweats, headache
etc, which are SO common.
An Alternative extract like DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, made of roots
and herbs, without the use of alcohol, will
assist the stomach in assimilating or taking
up from the food such elements as are
required for the blood. will assist the liver
in throwing off the poisons in the system.
Do not permit some designing druggist
to insult your intelligence by offering you
a remedy which he claims is "just as good
because he made it up himself, or ten
chances to one you will get a medicine
made up largely of alcohol, which VIE
only weaken the system.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
IL heartily recommended by every person
. who has ever used 1t and II has stood the
test Of thirty.eight years Of approval from
people all over the United States.

log: Captain sober to-day" So the
Republican party comes here and de-
clares that the United States is pros
porous, as though it were an unusual
thing.
"Why, II you, on the other side,
would let us alone-would not by your
laws on the one hand help few people
at the expense Of many others, and by
your failure on the other hand to en-.
force the laws of the land, designed to
give all men an even chance-and
would not divert the prosperity into
certain channels, and the money from
the prosperity into few pockets, the
country would always be prosperous
1t is only because Of that kind of work
on your side that the country is ever
in any other condition. and yet to-day
you marvel that we are prosperous

1t to be always In that condition, and
1t always will be II you will only give
1t fair chance, and let the country
and the people in 1t develop the re.
sources Of this. the greatest land in the
world, and go along ON their way in
peace, free from your miserable manip-
ulation.
And then they announce that Presi
dent Roosevelt is SO sure of reelection,
that there is no use bothering at all,
and that there is NO sense in the Dem
ocrats putting up q candidate.
We'll. let me suggest to you, gentle
men on the other side. II you think that
is SO. why are you making all this fuss;
what difference does 1t make to you
whom we nominate. or what the plat
form is, and II you are going to beat
US anyway-why not keep quiet? You
remind me Of the boy going through
the graveyard. who whistled at the top
Of his lungs all the time. not because
he wanted to whistle. but Just for the
purpose Of keeping his courage up.
That is why you talk SO loud on the

Difference Between ENGLISH
AND AMERICAN TRUSTS.

English trusts are comparatively
harmless affairs, and cannot and have
not arbitrarily advanced prices except
in a few instances. like that of brass
bedsteads. and then only temporarily.
The difference between trust In a
free-trade country and one in a high
i tariff country can be illustrated by
+, Corporation with $16.OO0.O0O capital.
This Is u world trust. and the Pacific
Coast Borax Company. OF this country.
is the greatest Of the twelve companies
in the trust, and probably supplies as
much borax as oil Of the other COM
panies combined. This world trust
\sells refined borax to-day In this ccun.
/ Ny at TX cents and in England at 2h
cents per pound. Much of the borax
sold In England Is borax from the
mines of California. and is refined at
Bayonne. N. j.. and exported to Eng.
land The duty on imported borax Is
6 cents per pound. and was raised from
2 cents In 1897 by the Republicans.
When the duty was cents, borax sold
here at s cents. AS a matter OF history
It may be stated that had there been
no duty on borax here there would
have been no world trust. The ex-
orbItant profits OF tine trust here en-
ablcd It to sell borax ut less than 2
cents per pound in Europe and to force
its competitors to sell their plants at
low prices. But this trust Is compare.

THE COST OF LIVING.
Wages Compared With Food and Necessities De-
termine the Measure of Prosperity.

Concerning the costs of living as ap-
piled to the wages earned, and the ex-
travagant claims made from Re-
publican National headquarters to the
effect that this is an era of great pros.
perity, the following excerpt from a
speech made in the hall Of the House
of Representatives in Washington by
Mr.. Allan Benny, of New Jersey, on
Jan. 2S, last, sheds much light on the
subject. Mr.. Benny said:
"They tell US on the other side, Mr..
Chairman, that wages have increased
IL per cent during the Republican ad-
ministration, and that the cost Of liv-

Senator Lattimer. of South Caro-
lima. says:
There is no possible excuse for any
Democrat in the land to withhold his
vote from Judge Parker. and there is
every reason in the world why patri-
otic Republicans should support him.
He stands for all that Jefferson, Jack.

ment."
Gilpin observer., 1904-10-20

ing has actually gone down. Now, l
do not think there was ever more
erroneous statement made on this floor
than that same one. The gentleman
from Illinois (Mr. BoutelD was very
careful when speaking not to give us
any figures on the cost of living. Let
me give you some figures from Dun's
Review, which l suppose every man
here will take to have some weight at
least.
1.-THE figures, based upon quotations
of $50 articles with due allowance for
the relative Importance of each. are as
follows:
Gilpin observer., 1904-10-20

These figures indicate that the cost
of living was per cent. higher in
1900 than in 1890; Al per cent more in
Ns02 than in 1897, and "a 40 per cent.
more on Oct. 1, 1903 than on July 1.
1897, and about 80 per cent. greater on
the first day of this year than on the
first day Of July, 1897; 80 per cent.
increase in the cost Of living and II
per cent. increase taking the figures Of
gentlemen on the other side, in wages.
yet they say every laboring man in the
country and every citizen in the land
ought to be thankful that the Repub-
lican party has done SO much for the
laboring man.
There was one thing. Mr.. Chairman.
that l did like in the speech Of the
gentleman from Illinois (Mr Boutell)
and that was his statement that he did
give some credit to Almighty God for
the prosperity which he claims exists
In this country. He was the first Re-
publican that ever heard on this floor
admit that. But even he did not dare
tell this house what percentage he
claimed Of the prosperity Of the coun.
try was due to the Republican party.
and what percentage was due to the
goodness OF the Almighty. assume
that the percentage he was going to
credit to the Almighty was SO small
that he was ashsmed to state 1t.
And then the gentleman from
Illinois looked around the room and
,Emanded Of some Democrat to contra
diet his statement that the country was
prosperous. Well. I wonder. Mr.. Chair
man. what condition any man here
would expect the United States to be
in? Would not our country. under
natural conditions. be expected to be
prosperous? Why they remind me q
good deal Of the log of ship that
came into New York some time ago.
The captain one day during the voyage
was on watch. and he wrote In the log:
Mate drunk to-day" The mate did
not like 1t very we'll. and the next day
when he was ON watch he wrote In the

Edward NJ. Shepard, Of New York,
says: "The modern Republican idea
that the use Of protective tariff is
to keep prices high to the American
consumer in order that the profits OF
other Americans engaged in gigantic
and long established industries shall
be increased. would have been as alb.
horrent to Abraham Lincoln as 1t is
to Judge Parker"
Gilpin observer., 1904-10-20

Edward NJ. Shepard. says: THE
policy stand pat means that, under
Republican auspices. no committee
shall investigate. nor House of Con-
gress consider. the working OF the
tariff. On this subject there must be
mute obedience as before deity. II
the manufacture Of steel and iron be
no longer an infant industry to be
cherished, but practical monop.
oily within the American republic.
out Of whose profits the vastest
fortunes in the world have been
built up-if It sells its products
to foreigners more cheaply than to
Americans-nevertheless. there must
be silence"
Gilpin observer., 1904-10-20

Senator Joseph w. Bailey says:
MY argument is that when the coun,
try is most prosperous in a material
way. 1t has greatest need to call the
Democratic party into its service In
order that It may be reminded Of Its
duties outside OF dollars and cents"
