A NERVOUS WRECK
Mrs. Green Gained 26 Pounds and
Recovered Her Health by Taking
Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

General debility is term that covers
multitude of cases where there is no
acute disease, yet the patient continues
to lose strength and the doctors medi-
cines have no apparent effect. This is
the decline that leads to death if means
are not found to check it. In great
majority of cases DR.. Williams Pink
Pills will check it and restore health and
strength because they actually make new
blood and so send renewed vitality to
every organ and tissue of the body.
Mrs. S. A Green, whose address is
Box 20, r. +. ID. No. 4, Franklin, Ca,
says: "For three and a half years l
suffered with weakness and nervous
ness, complicated with stomach trouble.
At times L was confined to my bed for
periods ranging from three weeks to two
months and was under the physician
care most of the time for three years. I
do not know the cause of my trouble but
I was Frustrated with weakness and, al
though [ took great deal of medicine,
nothing seemed to give me strength. At
times my stomach hurt me something
fearful and my head often troubled me.

did not refresh me.
"When began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, weighed but 104 pounds.
| knew l was so bad that few doses
would not cure me and l had patience.
Soon the pills began to give me strength,
my blood got in better condition, could
sleepwell at night and help some with the
housework. Now I weigh 130 pounds and
think nothing of walking half mile.

TARIFF REVISION BY FRIENDS.
Free Traders Should Be Barred from
Taking Active Part.

Senator Dick is quoted by the
Cleveland Leader as saying that
while the Ohio Republicans will con.
tinue to stand by the protective tariff,
they recognize that the revision of
certain schedules is demanded and
that they will come soon after the
presidential election
This is all right and good Republi,
can doctrine, but the source of the
demand should be investigated in
every case-it may be a Democratic
demand-a free trade demand Or it
may be the demand of one who sees
only his own good and his own adyan.
tage. If, after careful Investigation by
Republican committee, changes are
found necessary for the good of the
great majority of those affected and
for the benefit of the people in gen
eral, then such revisions should be
made by Republican congress.
Democratic hands should be made
to heed the positive injunction hands
Off Democratic revisionists have but
one ultimate object in view-free
trade
The Republican rule in this matter
should be: Revision when and where
revision is found absolutely necessary
to the welfare of American industries
and American workingmen and the
American people in general l.-Tiffin

TRUSTS ENEMIES TO THE TARIFF
Free Trade Would Please Men Whs
Have Patent MonopoIies.

This clipping from Tom Watsoni
(free trade) Magazine is going the
rounds of tariff-ripping papers:
Tom Watson's Magazine claims to
have some interesting figures from
Buenos Aires, as follows:
The Advance plow, which sells in
this country for SIS, is sold in Buenos
Aires for SO.
The hay tedder, which costs you
s45, is sold in Buenos Aires at $50.
The mower costs you sos; it costs
the South American farmer $40.
You pay $25 for horse rake
downtrodden South Americans pay
s17.
The feed cutter No. 3, for which
we pay $50, goes to the poor foreigner
at $50.
The Ann Arbor cutter demands $40
of us; it is satisfied with $2S in Bue
nos Aires.
THE cultivator which is priced to
you at $50 is sold to the South Amer
lean for $22.
These are not the products of the
pauper labor of Europe but of the
factories of America, which are glad
to get the prices that they have to
take when they get out from under
the protection of too high tariff"
Practically all the machines named
in this list are controlled by trusts
which, like the Standard Oil trust
the ice trust, the anthracite trust and
many others, are in no way assisted
by the tariff. The various farm i'm
plement trusts get all their protection
from the patents and patented pro
cesses of manufacture. They hate the
tariff, and would like to see it cut
down by revision or by reciprocity
agreements which would give them
still better chance to sell to foreign.

Never Promised Tariff Revision.

The Democratic party has de.
nounced every promise of revision by
the Republican party as made in bad
faith and events have established the
truth of the charge-Dubuque Tele
graph-Herald. The creed of political
party is determined by it's national
conventions. VIII the Dubuque paper
kindly quote the plank of some Re
publican convention, since the Ding
ley tariff was enacted, which made a
promise of revision ?"-Burlingt

RIGHT REVISION TIME
SPEAKER CANNON DEFINES THE
STAND-PAT POSITION.
"Revise the Tariff When 1t Will Do
More Good Than Harm to the
Mass of the People," Ad-
vice of Uncle Joe.

The best answer yet given to the
question, when should the tariff be
revised?" is that of Joseph G. Can
non, speaker of the house of represen-
tatives, in his speech at Danville, ILL.,,
In accepting the unanimous renomina-
tion of the Eighteenth Illinois district
Republican convention.
Revise the tariff when it will do
more good than harm to the great
mass of the people"
That is the answer of sound states
manship, of business sense, of prac-
tical politics.
1t is the answer of every man who
does not want to see tariff tinkering
experiments tried in a period of eX-
traordinary prosperity.
1t is the answer of production at
the maximum and of consumption so
far in excess of prod uction that the
country is importing competitive
goods to the amount of 5000 100000 a
year.
1t is the answer of American labor
fully employed at the highest wage
scale ever known.
1t is the answer of every branch of
industry and trade-possibly except
ing importers and pawnbrokers.
Greatest Good to All.
1t is the answer of the National Re
publican congressional committee,
with the full sanction of President
Roosevelt.
1t is the answer of consistent, level
headed protectionists, none Of whom
regards any tariff schedule as 'sa
cred" or as fetch" but all of whom
insist that so long as the Dingley tar
if continues to work out the greatest
as it keeps on doing more good than
harm to the great mass of the people
that tariff should be let alone.
Speaker Cannon fortifes his atti-
tude regarding tariff revision with
tremendous array of facts and statis-
tics certifying to the uneXampled ben
efits conferred upon all sorts and con-
ditions of men by the Dingley tariff in
the nine years of its operation.
No man with fair and open mind
can read Cannon's great Danville
speech and remain a tariff revisionist.
He must agree with the speaker in
the conclusion that tariff disturbance
under existing conditions would do
far more harm than good to the great
mass of the people.
