THREATENS COLORADO.
Free Philippine Sugar Would Ruin
SUGAR Beet Industry.

Denver-In discussing the Philip
pine sugar tariff, the Denver News,
Senator Patterson's paper, says.
"The scheme to place Philippine
products upon the free list is one of
the cherished schemes of the most pro-
nounced imperialists. for they know
that American capital multiplied by
tens of millions. when invested in the
islands, will create insuperable bar
riors TO a separation.
But in addition to that, Senators
Patterson and Teller are opposed to
the free list scheme because they real
ize that within few years the produc-
tion of Philippine sugar would become
SO great, and it can be produced and
landed so cheaply in American ports,
that no American farmer could culti-
vate with profit a single acre of the
sugar beets. The factories along the
Platte ana the Arkansas and in other
sections of Colorado and of the United
States would soon be ruins, and the
lands of the farmers that have doubled
in value since the introduction of the
sugar beet would relapse to their for
mer price. In short, the scheme OF
the Philippine free trader is to rob the
American farmer of practically the
only protection he gets from the Ding
lev tariff, making him pay tribute,
without any returns, to the syndicates
and trust combines in the purchase OF
everything that enters into the con
sumption of his home and his farm.
"if that is Democratic doctrine, Sen
ator Patterson unheSitatingly declares
that he is opposed to such doctrine
and would wipe it from the party CON
fession of principles If it was within
his power. But it is not Democratic
doctrine. 1t is simply the vaporing
of a theorist, and should it crystalline
into Democratic doctrine, all hope of
Democratic success in the future
would. and in Senator Patterson's s
opinion should, vanish

The Central American Soldier.

These barefooted soldiers are an
tagonists not to be despised. Nearly
worthless in attack, they are neverthe-
less tenacious in holding position,
trait that comes from their Spanish
descent probably. In the Cuban cam
paign Gen. Garcia is said to ha We said
in reply to the remark Of an American
officer: THE Spaniards never at
tack" This may have been true in
the main, but the defense of the
trenches at Caney showed that the
Spaniards would hold position with
as much courage and tenacity as any
other troops. The Central and the
South Americans have not generally
showed much steadiness in war, but
there have been occasions when their
conduct has been conspicuous for
gallantry, and all the virtues which
go to make up the stalwart soldier

North Dakota Solves the AduIteratTon
DrohIep,

Problem.
North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" A new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint. viz: pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures Of
pigments. They adopted the slogan.
Let the label tell,' and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, il any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
object; for they do 1t with their eyes
open But II they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear a label
which says pure white Lead
In all other States mixtures are of.
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little sometimes no real
white lead. .
1t would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from

Deadly New Rifle.

Bullets from the new 30-caliber
rifles of the United States army whirl
with great rapidity. The ritiing gives
one revolution of the bullet about its
axis in ten inches. At the muzzle the
velocity of the bullet is 1900 feet a
second, which means 2,76O turns
second, assuming that the bullet does
not strip in the rifing. The circum-
ference OF the bullet is .942 OF an
inch, which gives peripheral velocity
of $500 inches each second. or $1,000
feet a minute.

GAINED "a POUNDS
Persistent Anemia Cured by D..
Williams Pink Pills After Other
Remedies Had Failed.

"When began taking DIR. Williams

of St. Adams, Somerset county, Maine,

gums were colorless and my fingers and
ears We're like wax. l had two doctors
and they pronounced my troubleanRmia.
Ihad spells of vomiting, could not eat,
in fact, did not dare to, had such dis
tress after eating. My stomach was filled
with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache 1 suffered was at times
almost unbearnble and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast that l coul''
hardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never left me for seven weeks. About this
time had had several numb spells. My
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
"Nothing had helped me until began
taking DIR. Williams Pink Pills, i'll fact,
had grown worse every day. After
had taken the pills short time could
see that they We're benefiting me and
one morning I awoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after enting disap-
peared and i'll three weeks l could eat

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch We're used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of Its great
er strength than other makes.
