TELL THE OTHER BOYS.
Words Of a Victim Of the Terrible
Cigarette Habit.

One OF the most terrible warnings
against cigarette smoking was given
not long ago by a boy who died in
great agony Almost his last words
were Let any boy who smokes Gig

much have suffered. and he will
never put another into his mouth "
He was bright boy, an exquisite
singer. and had many friends lie
lived with his grandmother and
worked In a chandelier factory.
Here Is his story as he told II 10 his
nurse. He, confessed that his trouble
had orlginaed from cigarette smok-
ing. Some days he said he smoked
20 cigarettes At FIRST he kept his
grandmother IN Ignorance OF his lndul.

appetite grew upon him with such
force that he could not break q on.

His disease took the form of dropsy

Daring al his sunerings he never
forgot what had brought him to this
terrible condition He kept asking
his nurse to warn all boys against
their use. 4 few days before he died
he called her TO his bedside and said
he thought he had not lived In vain

A Pathetic Scene.

A woman entered a barroom. and
advanced quietly TO her husband. who
sat drinking with three other men.
She placed a covered dish on the table
and said "Thinkin' ye'd be too busy 60
come home to supper. Jack, I've
fetched II to you here" And she de-
parted. The man laughed awkwardly
He invited his friends to share the
meal with him. Then he removed the
cover from the dish. The dish was
empty. II contained only slip OF pa

your supper II is the same your wife

In 1862 Lincoln signed free homes
bill which has added millions 10 the
vests farming population In 1902
Roosevelt put his signature TO a ma.
tional irrigation act which will place
other millions OF farmers in the new
empire which IL will create In the arid
region. By It's protective tariff acts
the Republican party has put the Unit
ed States in the lead OF all the nations
IN the extent and variety OF It's indus
trial activities. and has created a home
market which has advanced the price
OF everything that the farmer has 90
SELL has increased the value OF his
land and all other sorts OF property
belonging 10 him. has reduced the cost
of the things which the farmer has 10
buy. and has made an addition 10 his
comforts and TO his general prosperity
and social influence undreamed OF in
the years preceding the foundation OF
the Republican party.
In the Republican scheme in which
the nation has been developed there
has been no forgotten man. white.
black. red or brown. low or high. and
there has been no neglected calling.
In a direct and emphatic degree the
American farmer has reason 10 be
grateful for the work which has been
done for him by the Republican party

Nearly every great American manu-
featuring ust has branches and fac
tories in foreign countries. The tarifi
rippers may not have considered this
fact. II the duty were removed from
all trustmade goods. as suggested by
Gov Cummins at Minneapolis four
years ago. and by William J. Bryan a
few days ago. the result would be the
closing OF the American factories oper.
ated by the trusts and the enlarge
ment OF their own foreign factories
And the goods for the American mar.
ket being then duty free. would be
manufactured by the American trusts
in their factories where labor is cheap
or. The American people would sim.
ply have their big mills and factories
closed and thousands OF Americans
thrown odt OF employment. and the
trusts would be in the saddle. making
barrels OF money in their factories
operated by cheap labor in other
lands.
Sometimes we think many people re
fuse TO consider these tariff proposi.
lions as relating TO business and only
consider them as relating TO politics.
The protective tariff is for the pur-
pose Of enabling Americans to do their
own work and supply their own wants.
The politicians who talk in favor OF
tariff changes TO meet changed condi-
lions" evidently do not fully know
what they are talking about The only
changed condition" which could jus
tify tariff reduction would be the in
crease Of wages abroad to correspond
with American wages. and that has not
been done. II American workingmen
were called upon to compete with their
equals. in skin and compensation. they
would not complain. but tearing down
the tarin wall would put them in com
petition with men In other lands who
work for 16 TO is cents per day. and
the American workingman Is not pre-
pared to thus compete. He is no better
prepared now than he was in 1897
when the Dingley tariff was enacted.
There has been a slight increase IN
wages in England. but there has been
no increase IN Germany. France, ia
pan, China, India or any other coun-
try. We are sometimes tempted to
believe that the talk about lower tar
iffs" is a blow at American institutions
and an attempt 10 reduce prices 20
the American consumer" on the pre-
text Of helping the consumer in
what he buys without hurting him in
what he sells. AS We have often said.
the tariff was invented 20 make ard
keep America prosperous. That end
is now accomplished. Then why des-
troy or even partially destroy the tar
IN? As Mark Hanna said. why not
let we'll enough alone? Why not stand
pat?" Why not ten the politicians and
Office seekers they can have the Of
Gees n they will keep their mouths
shut on this great business question?

London Times declares that the gold
reserve OF Russia is 100000. 600
