and so many others are obliged to sell
for lack of storage rooms? The present
low price Of wheat and the determine
ton of the members Of the Society OF
Equity and Of the farmers unions II,
the southwestern states to hold for bet
ter prices have probably induced halt
the wheat growers of the United States
to hold back their crop. Yet the mar
ket price at Chicago is barely stead,
at 72 cents bushel, which is til
world price less freight and charges.
The remedy the farmers should il
sist upon is tariff reform that woul.
reduce the price of all they buy b.
taking from the trusts the tariff protec
ton which has allowed the t7-Ssts to
SO enormously increase the pr4ce OF
their products If the cost of running
the farms was thus decreased, the low
price of wheat, corn, oats, etc, would
be equalfzed and farm labor would not
have to demand such high wages. The
prosperity the farmers have enjoyed
for the past few years has been i'll
spite Of the trust protecting tariff and
not by virtue OF it, Good crops In the
United States and poor average crops
abroad have kept up the price of
wheat. corn and oats and other farm
products, but this year there are fair
average crops the world over. and
prices are therefore low. So the farm
ers have 10 sell at the price fixed in the
free trade markets of the world and
buy in the trust protected market here,
and the only organization that will pro-
tect the farmers from this upper and
neither milestone is to organize polit-
lcally TO reform the tariff which thus
plumbers them.

GILLETTE BORE UP WELL.

Herkimer, N. r., Dec. Rochester
Gillette showed no sign Of weakening
as the day on which he was to be SEN
fenced to death for the murder of
Grace Brown approached.
The Rev. s. D. Robinson, Methodist
minister of Herkimer, who has been
his spiritual adviser, called on the
youth.
Gillette is no fool" said the Rev.
Mr.. Robinson. "He is possessed Of this
intelligence of the average man, and in
some respects he surpasses the latter.
His early contact with the world has
given him a spirit Of self satisfaction,
which prompted him to take the stand
and testify in his own behalf. 1t was
Gillette's plan rather than the urging
of counsel. He has admitted that his
early life and environment had much
to do with his actions later.
HE has schooled his mind to con-
troll. When the Grace Brown letters
were read in evidence he told me he
listened to them for an hour without
thinking of himself. My opinion is that
his manner on the stand gives indica-
tion Of guilt rather than Of innocence"
Former Senator Mills, Gillette's coun-
sci, moved TO have the verdict set
aside, This was preliminary to the
appeal that is to be made later
Mrs. Louise Gillette, mother. Of Ches-
ter Gillette, arrived here and was in
court when her son was sentenced.
She will have Tuesday and sWednes-
day to converse with him in the Herki-
mer Jail before he is taken to Auburn
on Thursday and placed in ''the little
cell with the iron door" adjoining the
death chamber.

New York, Dec. 10.-Presents galore
would be sent to all boys and girls
who mail requests to Santa Claus this
year if the postoiiice department would
only recognize certain wealthy wom-
an as Santa's proxy.
This woman called on Postmaster
Wilcox and In the name of a charita-

ed that all letters directed to the pa
tron saint of the Yuletide be turned
over to her. No matter whether they
called for dolls, muffs, bicycles or toy

her name were mentioned, Edward

the public would recognize that she

idea.
Had she any power of attorney from
the person to whom these communica-

Strength Comes
Not From What You Eat, But From
What You Digest

Most people eat most foods without
discrimination-it matters little what
Few stop to think what that food does

road to dyspepsia Reckless disregard
of the proper choice of foods, rapid
ating and improper mastication, are
The unquestioned causes of all stomach
disorders from the slight ache to the
malignont cancer.
There is nothing, more revolving than
dyspeptic stomach-a very vat for
putrefaction, sending forth its poison
throughout the entire system, depress-
ing the brain, befouing the breath,
souring the taste, tdeadening the mus
cies. incapacitahng the liver and kidneys
fer their work, debilitating the heart,
choking the lungs and clogging the
bowels.
All Of these disagreeable and danger
Gus conditions are due to the improper
digestion of food and the consequent
assimilation of poison. What else can
be expected? If the food lies in the
stomach if the system is constipated
fermentation is the NATURAL outucome.
1t shows itself in sour watery ris-
fngs, belchings, heartburn and painful
breathing
There is only one way to relieve this
condition. If the stomach refuses to di-
gest your food put something into it that

DEMOCRATIC GAINS.

Indicate General Trend Against Re-
pubIicans.
The election news, since the full re-
turns have been reported, show great
Democratic gains The election of all
the state officers in New York other
than governor by small Democratic
lnajcrities in spite of all the weight
and influence of the administration in
dicates that the great heart of the En-
pire State still beats IN unison with
Democracy and that with popular can
didates in 1903 the electoral vote Of the
state is likely to be in the Democratic
column.
But the most wonderful change from
abject surrender to the trust and corpo-
ration to the reviving influences of
good government is in New Jersey. A
tabulation of the votes by counties
shows a Democratic majority Of Il, ,2S0
In the state. The Republican plurality
for the assembly tickets last year was
57,978, and there was $1,000 majority
for the Republican governor. This is
the first Democratic majority in the
state since 1893 and indicates that
"Jersey justice" will cleanse the state
of the ring of corruptionists and graft
ers that have infested her and, like
New York, will be again a doubtful
state, with the chances favoring the
Democracy.
The other Democratic gains are in
Rhode Island, Minnesota, North Dsko-
10 nd 1o1 ,oI,
states all gave large Democratic ma
jorities. The Democratic candidate for
governor of Kansas was defeated by
only 1000 votes, a gain of $1,000 over
the vote of 1904. The Democratic gain
Of over fifty members of congress
shows the general trend of the country
| to swing toward Democratic policies,
and when the stand pat doctrine Of the
Republican congress further indicates
that real tariff reform is impossible as
long as that party controls the Iegisla-
tive branch of the government there
will be a still greater revolt against
high trust prices, which those corpora
tions are protected by the tariff in ex-
torting.
All that Democrats have to do to in
sure success is to get together on e4-
sential policies and leave any differ
ences on minor matters to be settled
by congress and legislatures as they
arise and perfect their organization in
the several states that viii see that
Democratic voters go to the polls and
their votes are honestly counted.

Cast of Living Increased SO Per Cent
by Advance of Commodities Com
troIIed by Corporntions--Tarif Re-
form Necessary For Relief From
Trust PIunderins.
The Society of Equity at its late an
nual convention decided on the follow
ing minimum price scale for agricul
tural products:
Wheat, 81; corn, 10 cents until Jan.
:. 80 cents from Jan. to April 1 and
So cents from April i until the next
meeting of the society; oats, 40 cents;
cotton, II cents, based at New York;
hogs, $3.50; cattle, Sc; hay, S14. With
the exception of cotton, all prices are
based on delivery at Chicago.
Those minimum prices are very rea-
sonable IN comparison with the price
the trusts are charging for their prod
ucts, but the trusts are protected by
the tariff in fixing the price of their
products, whereas the farmers have
comparatively no protecion. The tar
iff duties provided in agricultural
schedule OF the Dingley bill cannot add
to the price of those farm products the
farmers have placed their minimum
price upon, because the price is fixed
in the worlds markets, where the sur
plus is sold in competition with like
surplus from other countries. Take
wheat, for instance, upon which there
is a tariff duty of 25 cents a bushel
Does that protect the wheat grower by
increasing the price? The market
price at Chicago answers the question,
which for months has been about 73
cents a bushel and will probably be
lower when navigation closes and the
Argentina crop in January begins to
compete 10 the European markets.
No tariff, however high, can over
come the law of supply and demand
If there is a surplus produced that
must be sold in the open markets of
the world, and the Republican politi-
clans when they fixed the rates in the
Dingley law on wheat, corn and other
cereals only did so to make show of
protecting the farmers on their prod
uets, so as not to appear one sided
when they fixed the high tariff duties
which protect the trusts in charging
high prices for their products.
The Republican trainers of the tariff
did not pretend to protect cotton, but
placed it on the free list, and cotton
has been higher in proportion than
wheat, which is supposed to be pro-
tected by the duty of 25 cents bushel.
The duty Of 15 ceuts bushel on corn
and oats has not increased the price Of
those products, for, while the price of
cotton has been advancing, the price of
these protected products has been fall
ing.
Since 1897. the year the present high
trust protective law was passed, the
pric IF all commodities has increased
on the average nearly so per cent,
and If the protection on farm products
was equally effective the price of farm
products would have been likewise in
creased The plan Of the farmers com
posing the Society of Equity to in
crease the price of wheat, corn, ETC.,
is not to sell until the price at Chica-
go reaches the minimum they have set.
But how can that be done with wheat
for instance, which SO many farmers
