DON'T NEGLECT COLD.
Neglected Colds Lead to Consumption.
How Consumption Develops.

Nine cases Of consumption out Of ten
occur in this way:
A person catches cold. The cold is not
properly cured, and another cold IL
caught.
This cold is dilly-dallied with, either
by no treatment Whatever or some treat.
ment that is ineffectual, and the cold
continues.
Then another cold is caught and .
cough develops. Cough syrups are re.
sorted to, but they give only temporary
relief.
By and by the patient gets tired Of
taking medicines and cough syrups and
gives up in despair.
The cold continues to develop and me
cough grows worse.
Then the doctor is called in, only to
discover that the patient is in the first
stages Of consumption.
1t was just in this way that Miss
Powell, of Aurora, Ind, became sick.
She caught cold, and not CONSIDERING
1t serious, neglected it, thinking a.
many others do, that s'wear on"
However, it chung to her tenaciously,
and in two weeks she found her health
in q serious condition.
Fortunately, Peruna had heen brought
to her notice, and she took course Of
this remedy before it was too late.
In . week the cough and cold were
broken, and a three weeks treatment
completely restored her to health.
This is what Peruna is doing all the
while. Not day, and probably not an
hour passes in which some one does not
have . similar experience with Peruna.

Consumption.

it promptly. The third step is the de-
velopment of catarrh, which gradually
becomes chronic. The fourth step, the
catarrh begins to spread from the head
to the throat, then to the bronchial
tubes, and finally into the lungs. It 10

Atany time during the progress of ca.

without delay. One bottle in the be-
ginning will do more good than . half

Buffalo speech frankly told the
American citizen, in substance,
that the time had come when
certain American industries no
longer needed protection and we
did need more revenue.
Another way for providing more
revenue is by the imposition of a
national income tax on all net
incomes in excess of $4,000. There
is scarcely another civilized nation
IN the world except ours but has
such a tax. A tax of $500 on
$1,000 of all incomes in excess of
$4,000 would produce vast amount
of revenue and would Cypress none
and would put some of the expenses
of the government on a class of
people that escape taxation of all
kinds. The Supreme Court has
decided that an income tax law is
unconstitutional but the constitu-
ton should be promptly amended
SO as to permit it. This is our
revenue plank:

salt pork. Men and women who
worked the hardest would get the
most pay and not the least. Girl
babies would all be born tongue
tied, and it would be a capital
offence to cut the strings. Wives
would scold a blue streak if their
husbands came home before -
o'clock at night. There would be
no millionaires and no tramps.
Men would be as willing to pay
fifty cents to go to church on Sun
day as they are to 60 to ball game.
Delegations would force a good
man to run for governor and good
man would not have to go after
delegations with club. Country
editors would have to keep their
doors locked lest they should be
swamped with subscribers and
advertisers, and this great Family
Journal would have ten thousand
new subscribers inside of six
months.
We might not be able to run the
world any better than it is run now
but it would be run differently.

IT IS NOT TRUE.

'Frank Eddy is busy these days

We wish to deny the above state
ment as vigorously as possible.
We are not running the world, we
only wish we were. The sun
would shine at night when light is
needed, and not in the daytime
when there is plenty of light. 1t
would never rain on the Fourth of
July or on fair days. 1t would
never be warm enough for ice, or
cold enough TO use coal. Doctors
would be paid as long as people
were we'll and charged when people
were sick. There would be no old
maids in the land, but the world
would be full of grandmothers.
Girls would be born with a natural
aversion to ice cream, confectionery,
fruit and flowers, but with in
ordinate appetites for potatoes and

We believe, yes we know, that if
this plank were submitted to the
republican voters of Minnesota and
the United States it would be over
whclmingly endorsed and we are
also aware that unless backed by a
popular demand it would be
CONTEMPORARY rejected out of
Congress as now constituted. This
statement represents the difference
between what the people want and
what they get. There is much fol-
the people to do for if there are
any reforms they must come from
the people.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1905-08-31

ment and at the close of the last
fiscal year there was a deficit of
$50, OOO,O 900. 1t is little less than
criminal for government possess
ing the tremendous resources that
ours does to run behind in it's
expenses in times OF. peace and
prosperity. Unless this chasm
between the nations income and
outgo is speedily bridged over a
business panic is sure to sweep over
the country. Every panic that has
struck this country has been
preceded by period Of deficiency
in the national treasury. The
question of the greatest Importance
then that confronts the next
congress is to meet this deficiency
and as the republican party is in
control of the government in all
it's branches, our party must meet
this responsibility and devise
schemes whereby the deficit will be
wiped out and the problem of
making both ends meet be solved,
or it will be supplanted by one that
will. A party that cannot run a
nation like the United States or a
state like Minnesota in time of
great prosperity without going in
debt, is not capable of handling the
reins of government. This is a
disagreeable truth that republican
voters and republican candidates
ought to take into consideration it
they continue in control of the
government. Citizens will not
continue to employ managers who
will plunge the government into
debt any more than man would
continue to employ a man to
manage his private business who
plunged him into debt.
There are two ways that this
deficiency can be met and sufficient
money provided to meet expenses
by increasing the revenues or by
reducing expenses. Both these
methods should be resorted to, both
must be resorted to.
One of the methods of increasing
the revenue is by reducing the
tariff. The tariff at present is SO
high on many commodities that
importation is prohibited and all
revenue shut off and these prohibit
DRY duties in many cases are levied
upon goods that would be beneficial
to the people of the country and
the business of the country to have
imported. "Stand patters'' point
to the deficiency and cry s'There
can be no revision of the tariff, look
at the defcit!" They can't fool the
people: the intelligent voter knows
high tariff does not always mean
plentitude of revenue. The intelli
lgent voter has not forgotten tina,
President Mckinley, the creates,
tariff expert this natien ever pro
duced, recognized this principle
when as member Of congress he
introduced his great tariff measure,

American Industries and to reduce
the revenues" The intelligen,
voters has not forgotten that

REVENUE.

The matter of raising revenue is
one that always causes nations and
individuals the greatest concern.
The "Ways and Means committee
is the most important one in every
legislative body and the chairman
ship carries with it, or is supposed
to carry with it the leadership Of
the majority on the floor. Some Of
the most distinguished men in the
nation have occupied this position
in the national House of Repre-
sentativess and it is regarded next
in honor to the speakership and
almost certain stepping stone for
promotion to the. Senate or the
Presidency.
The great aim of legislators is,
or should be, to raise revenues
sufficient to meet the expenses of
the government with the least
burden on the people. This can
only be accomplished by making
the property of the country pay the
taxes. If every dollars worth of
property paid an equal amount of
taxation, no one would be burdened
in raising sufficient revenue to meet
all expenses national, state, and
municipal. such system of taxa.
tion at the present time is not in
force in Inclination or in any state
in the nation. As a rule the more
property man owns the less taxes
he pays in proportion to his less
fortunate fellows.
1t is safe to say that one half OF
the property of the country escapes
taxation and the great bulk of this
wealth that thus escapes it's just
burden is owned and controlled by
an exceedingly small portion of the
people whose incomes are enormous
A man who could make these con
cealed fortunes pay their just
tribute to the support of thu
government, would be justly hailed
as the greatest statesman of tn,
age.
There are two forms of taxation
direct and indirect. Indirect taxa
ton is based on consumption whil'
direct taxation is levied on posses
sions.
The money to meet the expense
of the national government il
raised almost entirely by indirec
taxation, while state and loca
taxation is levied on property
The revenues of the natlona
government are practically derived
from two sourcesj the tariff AM
internal revenue. The income
from these sources does not produce
sufficient revenue to meet eth,
