ing:
I'VE had heard of the productive

conditions even better than we ex-
pected."

Speaker Cannons prominence gives
la national interest to everything
which he says relating to the larger
issues of politics. The importance
of the part which he is to play in
the canvass of 1906, and the posi-
bility that he may fill still bigger
roll in the campaign of 1905, will di-
rect the country's attention to the
things which he said at Danville be-
fore the congressional convention
which renominated him. His words,
moreover, have an especial interest
from the fact that he is assailed this
year by Compers, the head of the
American federation of labor, and he
gave some attention to Gompers in
his speech. Next week Speaker Can
non is to go to Maine, and he will
make many speeches in that state,
several of them being in Littlefield' 5
district, in the interval between that
time and the election for congress
men and state officers in the state on
September 10.
In the Danville address Mr.. Can
non not only made it plain that a
large part of the country's present
unexampled prosperity is due to the
Republican protective policy, but he
also said that that policy would be
maintained. Citing Gompers state
ment that there were an average of
100000 of idle workers in 1894 and
1895, during Cleveland's days, he
countered effectively both on that
demagogue and on the Democracy,
for the number who are idle now is
insignificant. Compers said at the
time that the disaster to the working
men which came in Cleveland's DAYS
ended in 1897, after the Republicans
resumed power The Improvement
which began in 1897 is confident
with the enactment OF the Dngley
tariff, which is still in operation, and
which will be championed by the Re
publicans in the canvasses of 1906
and 1905 The figures of the census
bureau for 1905 allow a comparison
to be made with 1900, and this fur
nishes fine tribute to the benefits of
Republican sway. The increase in
the number of wage-earpers in 1905
over 1900 was 16 per cent, while the
gain in the wages paid was 30 per
cent. This expansion in the earnings
and in the comforts of the wage
workers furnishes powerful reason
why the Republican party will stick
to its policy of prosperity
1t is well to mention. occasionally.

How The Peoples Drug Store Sell
Hyomei, the Guaranteed Cure
for Catarrh.

dyome1, the Guaranteed Cure
for Catarrh.
The Peoples Drug Store has an
unusal offer to make to our readers,
one that will be of the greatest value
to many.
For some years The Peoples Drug
Store has been watching the results
from the use of Hyomei, . treat
ment for Catarrh that cures by
breathing medicated air, absolutely
without any stomach dosing. The
results have been so universally sue
cessful that they feel justified in max
ing q public offer to treat the worst
case of catarrh in Plymouth with the
understanding that If Hyomei does
not cure, the treatment will cost alb
solutely nothing.
People who have spent large sums
with catarrh specialists, deriving but
little benefit. or the many who have
swallowed stomach remedies in the
vain hope of curing catarrh, have ex-
perienced almost immediate relief
from the use of Hyomei, while the
continued treatment for q short
time. has resulted in q complete and
lasting cure.
The regular Hyomei outfit costs
only one dollar, and consists of a
neat pocket inhaler that can be car
ried in the purse or vest-pocket, a
medicine dropper, and bottle of Hy-
omei. If this is not enough for a
cure. extra bottles of Hymei can be
obtained for so cents.
The Peoples Drug Store guarantee
4 cure, if Hyomei is used in accord
ance with directions, or they will re.
