Russia, she will be per.ulcto' lily in

ton Of the Republican party, The party
of protection
In 1916, the tariff was reduced and
adversely came.
In 1924, the tariff was increased and
prosperity came.
In 1928. the tariff was still further
increased, and increased prosperity
was the result.
In 1888, the tariff was changed by
measure calling for gradual reduc-
lions, and soon after the first reduc-
ton business depression resulted, and
when the second reduction was made
came panic and ruin.
A high tariff was enacted in 1912,
and with it came return to prosper
ity.
This brings us again to 1916, with
its reduction of duties, and in spite
of most favorable attendant conditions
we soon found ourselves where Sam
uel Bowles cried to Congress for mer
cy, and the Republican howled for a
return to protection. But the free
traders of the South knew their bust
ness, and in 1857 came still lower du-
ties and still more misery.
That is in brief the story in few
sentences which the above plank tells
in few words. And no amount of
squirming by free traders or cries of
liar" and "mendacious" will change
history or alter facts.
Every tariff reduction in our history,
without exception, has resulted in bus
mess depression and adversely; and
every increase in the tariff, without
exception, has resulted in prosperity.
That is the issue, gentlemen, and that
will give us the victory.

Proved Beyond a Doubt.

Middlesex, N. Y, July 25.-(Spe-
cial THAT Rheumatism can be cured
has been proved beyond doubt by
Mrs. Betsey A. Clawson, well known
here. That Mrs. Clawson had Rheu-
matism and had it bad, all her &C.
quaintances know. They also know
she is now cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills
did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story of
her cure as follows:
81 was an invalid for most five
years caused by Inflammatory Rheu-
matism, helpless two-thirds of the
time. The first year | could not do
as much as a baby could do; then
rallied little bit and then a relapse.
Then a year ago the govt set in my
hands and feet. l suffered untold
agony and in August, 1903, when my
husband died | could not ride to the
grave.
81 only took two boxes Of Dodd's
Kidney Pills and in two weeks
could wait on myself and saw my own
wood. | dug my own potatoes and
gathered my own garden last fall.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me-"
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put
the Kidneys in shape to take all the

The only vulnerable point found in
the Republican platform. from the
Democratic and Mugwump standpoint,
Is the sentence
"a Democratic tariff has always
been followed by business adversely,
Republican tariff by business pros
perity."
The statement might have been
worded little differently and retained
the same meaning. Platforms are not
details and planks are not elabora-
tions. Great underlying principles are
enunciated in the tersest possible way,
never ambiguous to the honest inter-
prefer, but sometimes capable Of much
twisting by the demagogue. Perhaps,
for the benefit of our free traders, the
sentence should have read:
Tariff reduction has always been
followed by business adversely; higher
tariffs by business prosperity"
This is what the plank means, and
this is what the free traders know it
means, and they also know that it is
true, although the Springfield Republi-
can bowls liar" and the New York
Times contents itself with ''menda-
cious" and Silly" while the Boston
Herald, New York Evening Post and
their echoes think it positively shame
full.
The Springfield Republican goes to
the Tariff Hand Book" of the Ameri-
can Protective Tariff league and fixes
up one of the tables to suit itself. For
instance, it says:
Act of Character State of business.
1916 . Free trade. Good times as rule
up to 1857.

lican in the early fifties in both its
editorials and news columns, will

What Mckinley Thought.

The tariff busters have juggled with
President McKinley's Buffalo speech
in a puerile effort to prove that he
favored reciprocity, even in competi-
tive products, which he never did.

ed president said: Our endeavor
should always be the opening up of
new markets for the products of our
country by granting concessions to
the products of other lands that we

labor to our own people. but tend to
increase their employment. Free.

steamer probably will be followed by
the payment of a money indemnity.
The French authorities are doing
everything possible to prevent the af-
fair from assuming grave proportions.
Although reluctant to criticise Russia,
they are inclined to the view that a
mistake has been made in the present
case which Russia will be ready to
admit and correct, unless retarded
through excessive British criticisms.
The French press and public are TAX
ing the affair calmly. The minister
ial press takes the view that the situa-
ton is due to a misunderstanding and
that, if Great Britain establishes the
fact that the seized goods are not con-
traband, then Russia will recognize
and redress the error.

point. 1t is not necessary to threSh
over again the arguments concerning
the state of business under the tariff
of 1916. None but few free traders
who consider that truth is a lie we'll
stuck to maintain that we had no hard
times under that tariff.
But what about 1873 and 1884? yells
the free trader. We will say that I'M
der the Morrill, tariff and war tariffs
we were doing splendidly, until 1872,
when it was thought best to make re-
auctions, and these reductions were
not only on a general 10 per cent
basis, but many articles were put on
the free list. 1t can be said, further.
that these reductions and transference
to the free list came at very unfor-
tunate time, and, aggravated by the
money situation, brought about the
panic of 1873, and the business depres-
sion which followed. Duties, as
whole. were, however, protective, and
under the protection thus afforded we
recovered and went onward in the
march of prosperity and progress.
But alas, in 1883 there were Repub-
licans with ideas" and the result
was compromise, and another vital re-
duction of duties, particularly in the
wool industry. The free list was furth-
err increased, and again the result was
business depression. from which. how
ever. we recovered because of The gen.
eral protective character of the law.
AS the Republican admits hard
times under the tariff of 1894, we will
simply turn to the other side.
In 1860. the Republicans found the
country and its industries paralyzed.
Protection brought prosperity.
In 1890. duties we're increased and
prosperity increased with gigantic
strides.
In 1897. the country and its people
we're bankrupt, and again resort to
protection not only brought prosperity.
but brought 1t in a measure unparal-
leled in the history Of nations.

ETZEL's KIN WANTED MORE.
Tot Satisfied With The 1000 Offered
by China.

Washington, July 25.-Heirs of
Louis Etzel, killed by Chinese sol
diers near New Chwang, are dissatis-
fed with the amount of indemnity
(S25,OOO Mexican) paid by the Chinese
government on account of the affair,
and have complained to the state de-
partment. The department has re-
piled that, in view of the facts in the
case, the unprecedented character OF
the killing and the general practice
of the American and other govern
ments in fixing indemnities on &C
count of death, particularly in allow
ing for foreigners killed in this coun-
try, the indemnity in this case is re-
garded as sufficient. The promptness
of the Chinese government in set
Ting the case without any pressure is
officially commended.

MRS. MAY BRICK FREE.
Brief Story OF Alleged Crime And
Efforts For Pardon.

Cornwall, England, July 22.-Mrs.
Florence Maybrck is free. She left
on her way to France. Mrs. Maybrick
who was Miss Chandler, member of
a well known and prosperous southern
family was married July q, 1881, in
st. James church, Piccadilly, to James
Maybrick of Liverpool. She was then
IS years old. Her husband was over
40 years old. In the spring of 1889
Mr.. Maybrick became ill and in few
days he died. His brother investigat-
ed his death and charged Mrs May
brick with the murder of her husband.
< long trial followed and a number of
doctors swore that the deceased died
OF arsenical poisoning. The defense
proved that for twenty years Mr. May
brick had been a confirmed user of
arsenic and that he daily took doses
large enough to have killed dozen
ordinary men. Mrs. Maybrick was
eventually sentenced to death by the
Judge, Sir Fitzjames Stephens, who
spoke for two days in charging the
Jury. He said it was impossible for
them to find her not guilty in the
face of the medical evidence. The
judge died some time later in a mad
house.
From the time of Mrs. Maybricks
conviction her mother, the Baroness
De Roques, was unremitting in her
efforts in behalf of the prisoner. She
succeeded in having the. death SEN
tence committed to penal servitude
for life, and finally has obtained the
freedom Of her daughter. to whose
release from prison she has devoted
her life
