that in the twenty years from 1875 to
1895 our trade with canada increased
81 million dollars, while in the single
decade. from 1895 to 1905, it increased
IA million dollars. BY far the larger
portion of this growth has been on
the export side. While imports from

Came Near +. Dying
Abscess on the Hip = Dreadful Suffering
Hospital Treatment Failed.
Another Great Cure by
Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Charles L. Hutchins is well known
and popular in S. Royalton, VT, being
driver of the stage to, and from Chelsea.
He says of his boy Arthur, now 10,
whose portrait appears below:
He fell on the mill dam and IN
jured his hip. An abscess developed
and dreadful sickness followed. The
doctors lanced the abscess and later
performed an operation in the Mary
Fletcher Hospital in Burlington.
Arthur came near dying after the
operation, but we got him home and
neighbors said he would certainly die.
In the spring l began taking Hoods
sarsaparilla, as usual, and gave Arthur
little each day. After week or two
there was great change in the boy.
He seemed hungry, and one day sur
prised us by exclaiming, How good
my food tastes We could soon see
the color coming into his face, as day
by day he got better, seemed more
lively ana took more interest in things.
The sore is now entirely healed,
there is no pain in hip or limb:
Arthur goes to school every day and
his health could not be better. To our
friends his cure by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla seems miraculous.

advanced from $34,547219 in 1876 to
$140,529.5S1 in 1905, or considerably
more than quadrupled.
This rapid growth in trade relations
pecially interesting in view of the
varying conditions to which commerce
with Canada has been subjected. Dur
ing the period from 1855 to 1866 a
reciprocity treaty was in force between
Canada and the United States, but In
the latter year 1t was terminated, so
that commerce between the countries
was unaffected by special trade ar
rangements until April, 1897. when the
United States was placed at a slight
disadvantage as compared with the
United Kingdom, products from that
country entering the Dominion of Can
ada being admitted, by special ar
rangements, at reduction of l2h per
cent on the tariff levied on imports
from other countries. On August /,
1898, the reduction in favor of British
prducts was increased to 25 per cent
and on July ], 1900, was still further
increased to 33 1-3 per cent. Despite
these advantages in favor of goods en-,
tering Canada from the United King
dom, exports to Canada from that
country grew from s29,74S,712 in 1897
to s59.6O6556 in 1904, an increase of 30
millions; while exports to Canada from
the United States grew from $64,92S,-

OUT OF ELklNs OWN MOUTH.

The voters Of the state OF Iowa have
of late been the recipients of much ad-
vice. ACCOMPLISHMENT and dictation en-
anating from Washington as to their
conduct Of state affairs. Senator Dol
liyer's notable interview may be clas-
sified with this apparently calculated
movement. Secretary Shaw came back
to Iowa last evening and did his stunt,
following Elkins, Of West Virginia, SEN
ator by the grace and will of the cor
porations. It is all a very plain effort
to bulldoze Iowa sentiment.
Whoever procured Elkins' assistance,
and suspicion has attached itself about
equally to Joseph w. Blythe and Leslie
NJ. Shaw as procurers, underestlmated
the intelligence of Iowa voters. Cor
poration agents like Elkins .discredlted
even in the senate Of the United States
a the tools and agents of special in
serests, are not levers to move Iowa
sentiment and change Iowa ideas. AS
bearing upon the Elkins interference
in Iowa affairs, a few extracts from the
Congressional Record will show what
manner of man it is who assumes to
direct Iowa voters, and how he is con-
sidered by his associates even in the
United States senate. Senator Elkins,
on one occasion at least, seemed to
realize the Improperly of the rules of
state from Washington. On February
8, 1903, when he was speaking for
statehood for New Mexico. he referred

Again we are facing the question OF
who is to be The senator from the
Thirty-seventh senatorial district
composed of Hardin, Hamilton and
Wright counties. The nomination OF i
candidate for senator every four years
means a bad ENHANCEMENT. and usually
ends by some trade or drawing cuts.
At present Fred Hartshorn, of Clarion,
is senator Prior to his time joseph
Wallace, of Eldora was the senator
and before him Senator RoWen, OF

has had the lions share, then Hardin

1t now looks as if Hardin county will
he without any candidate. 1t will
then be fine chance to compliment
our friends in Hamilton county by
rendering the nomination to some good

ty on the west. 1t is time that Hamil-

Hubbard, March 23.-When the pure

invited a few friends to a beer lunch.
The beer was good, the crackers bet

of malt. the crackers, of course, were
pure, made by the trust and retailed
at least for is cents per pound for the
flour in them. But the cheese, that's
what we are trying to tell about. There
was Brie, Rocquefort, Swiss, Brick
Cream, and a half dozen more kinds

and in tinfoil, all imported goods

was success, but the funny part of

necessary to attend several meetings 10
not only see but hear the styles. That's

the prevailing music (?) Of the comic

music, mixed here and there with a
line or two from some old favorite. by
former great revival song writers, the
result to a lover of real music is much

When 1t comes to the WordS OF thlS
revival music, well. that's for the
preachers to criticise. Outside of the
writer's province OF course, one
preacher didn't know he was melting
these words, but he said in church on
a recent Sunday evening: During the

full new songs, but commencing next

in debate with Spooner and Hopkins
on statehood for New Mexico when
some question was raised as to the
party declarations and attention was
called TO the fact that the last republic

matter, Elkins said:

more to give it any directions on the
subject"
1t was in discussion of the immigra-
ton bill on February 2S, 1908, when
dolloquy took place in which Elkins
was the central figure. Elkins was
finding fault with the bill and desiring
to pledge the senate conferrees in adj
vance, and he was especially solicitous
about the educational test in the bill
and contract labor. The following
occurred:
Lodge-We could have passed the
bill at other times; we could have in
sisted on, the clause to which the SEN
ator from West Virginia objects more
than any other--the educational clause
because he thinks it will deprive COR
porations of new supply of cheap.

Fairbanks-If the bill is to be de-
feated because of opposition to the con-
tract labor law now in the closing
hours of the session, we would rather
have the bill defeated and appeal to
another session OF congress.
Elkins-I think that would be much
the wiser course. l. have asked SIM

THE QUESTION.
[LeMars Sentinel. ]


Mr.. Perkins is opposed to the new
primary bill in the legislature known
as the Flenniken bill. 1t is quite
evident that Mr.. Perkins does not
want this legislature to pass any kind
of primary law. The Sentinel doubts
IL the Almighty himself could draft a
bill that would meet the approval of
Mr. Perkins or the standpatters In
this legislature. 1t is quite evident
that Mr.. Perkins does not want n
primary law at this time and the
question Is will he want one If he
should be elected governor. Voters in
Plymouth county who are In favor of
primary law will not want to take
chances with Mr.. Perkins. Ii this
legislature does not pass primary
law the question will have to go over
until the next legislature and should
Mr.. Perkins be elected he would then
be in position to dictate what should
be done in the matter Of a primary law
or would have the power to veto any
measure passed. What would he do?
Echo answers, what would he?"
