less favorable natural conditions, such

the progressive traditions of Republi-
canism, whether Cummins men or 9TH
erwise. are contemptuously charged
with fractional spirit. The most popu-
lar president the republic ever had
strands committed to the reforms de-
manded in that Cedar Rapids platform,
but here in Iowa republicans are ac-
cused of party treachery for loyalty to
the same. These issues were not born
to die. They may be repudiated by in
dividuals for self preservation as We're

Italian, but they will be none the less
true and important. Mad misrepresen-
tation has and may yet again incite
popular prejudice but when the tides

a VOICE FROM THE EAST.

The Hartford Courant, one of the
thoughtful republican newspapers OF
Connecticut, has raised it's voice in the
interest of an extended foreign COM
merce by means of reciprocal treaties
and asks, the question as to which OF
two policies we are to adopt, the policy
of the Cleveland speech of Leslie M
Shaw, or the policy of the Buffalo
speech of William Mckinley.
The T.-R. gives publication to the
Courant's editorial in another column
and it is commended to the attention
Of every reader. Reciprocity treaties
are In harmony with the spirit Of the
time; measures Of retaliation are not
said Mckinley at Buffalo, and this is
the view endorsed by the Courant. 1t
would seem that the eastern and wes-
tern mind had reached the conclusion
that our period of exclusiveness is
past" at about the same time, and were
agreed on the proposition that "The
expansion Of our trade and commerce
Is the pressing problem

any policy, that policy will be gladly
accepted by the Republican. If the
majority of the voters of this state say

will cheerfully accept the verdict; if
the revisionists should win out the Re-

Deafness. Cannot be Cured,

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube When
this tube is infiamed you have rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten they are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur

There is liberal display of non

degree. at least, from usual convention
declaration. The platform was not
made 70 serve the political purposes
of any man. There was no note OF dis
cord during the campaign at this point.
Some of the most pointed editorials
written were in conspicuous support OF
the principles afterward repudiated by
the writer's. The head of the ticket
had nothing to do with the prepara-
tion of the resolutions but he became
their logical and eloquent exponent,
winning national attention, indeed, by
his championship Of the brave sentf-
ments expressed by the convention
placing him In nomination. Step by
step along his career his progress in
politics has ben bitterly opposed by a
large element in the party. When
these newer issues unanimously adopt
ed by the republicans of Iowa without
a suggestion from A. B. Cumnins be-
came conspicuous through his able adj
yocay the unexpected happened and
to discredit the champion the issues
were by many repudiated.
The desire to punish Cummins was
stronger than devotion to the higher
sentiments of progressive republican,
