eyes and increase the burdens of the
foreign laborer whose lot we have
heretofore been taught to lament.
The defenders of these iniquities
may answer that tolls and interest
are matters for state jurisdiction, but
the government at Washington is SIM
ply made up of individual agents OF
the several states, and whether it
were or not, a righteous principle is
persistently violated, and the purpose
and promise of The central government
|defiantly betrayed.
When we pause to consider that we
are taxing our people ten dollars
apiece to support the national gov
ernment alone, we may be appalled, at
the public burdens they are carrying;
but in this national tax of $50 per
annum per family, they are not with
out representation to protest, and
power to prevent it if they choose.
Half of this money, too, Is honestly
expended in their interest and for
their welfare.
This great burden, If equitably dis
tributed in proportion to ability TO
pay, would by Itself be borne without
destroying all chance for an improving
economic condition among the masses.
But the day foreseen and foretoid
by our lamented Lincoln, when COL
porations would be enthroned. Is
here. They are enthroned.
They are the crowned usurper be-
fore whom legislatures and courts
bow; the tyrant who gives statesmen
their position; The despot who grants
politicians their opportunities. The

reformers in the pending campaign.
They are:
First-Curbing the corporations and
throttling the trusts.
Second-The initiative and referen-
dunn.
But above and beyond all other SUBJ
jects and all combination of ques-
tions and all possible aggregations OF
issues, is the question of the trusts,
with their armament OF concentrated
plunder.
For twenty years the people hava
tried to get effective legislation against
them and for twenty years they have
been defrauded and swlndled by cum
ming party manipulators into making
some minor Issue the paramount ques-
ton of every campaign.
Parties have always been promising,
but their promises have been Simply
a delusion and a snare.
The Sherman antitrust bill, while
it was passed because OF the party's
promise In 1888, was not intended to
disturb the trusts. 1t could not and
did not pass the senate until 1t was
amended into impotency. 1t was
passed for the purpose OF preventing
hostile legislation against them. IL
was enacted for the purpose Of decelv-
ing the masses and defending the
trusts and 1t hns fulfilled its mission
as huge fraud for a dozen years.
This law has helped the trusts. as
tho silver purchase act helped tho
monometallists. Under Its ample
shield they thrive and grow as never
before. and the republican conclaves
point with pride" to their legisla-
tlon against the trusts, and they
ought To. II has served them both =
the trusts and the party. II has ac-
eomplished its purpose. aud they

And when they point with pride 10

That Coffee Was the Real Trouble.
Some people founder around and
take everything that's recommended
to them but finally find out that cot
fee is the real cause Of their troubles.
An Oregon man says:
For % years l was troubled with
my stomach. 1 was a steady coffee
drinker but didn't suspect that as
the cause. I doctored with good doc
tors and got no help, then l took
almost anything which someone else
had been cured with but TO no good. 1
was very bad last summer and could
not work at times.
ION December 2, 1902, 1 was taken
so bad the Doctor said 1 could not live
over twenty-four hours at the most
and I made all preparations to die. 1
could hardly eat anything, everything
distressed me and I was weak and sick
all over. When in that condition cof-
fee was abandoned and 1 was put on
Postum. the change in my feelings
came quickly after the drink that was
poisoning me was removed.
The pain and sickness fell away
from me and 1 began to get well day
by day so I stuck to it until now l am
well and strong again, can eat heartily
with no headache, heart trouble or the
awful sickness OF the old coffee days.
I drink all I wish Of Postum without
any harm and enjoy it immensely.
This seems like a wonderfully
strong story but l would refer you to
the First National Bank, The Trust
