FREE TRADE GONE MAD.
Conditions That Are Impossible Ex-
cept Under One Single
Government.

Some newspapers of the United
States are following ;he Mexican Her
aid IN lot of talk aEout the necessity
for making a North American tariff
common to all countries which may
be reached without boats. The idea
is too big for the handlers The same
takers are fast and furious for state
rights, even in this country. which has
been one most Of the time for more
than century. and they advocate the
making of state lines emphatic in all
matters of business. There is nothing
which needs to have the boundaries of
country so plainly marked as the
tariff for the revenue OF the govern
ment and for the protection of the in
dusuies which support the govern
ment. That principle cannot be spread
out over a continent, 50 long as any
two sections of it are controlled by diff
ferent governments, with the best in
teresls of the industries subserved.
The largest territory of this continent
is still within the grasp of the British
nation, with its most important inter
ests controlled on the other side of the
Atlantic. Amy man who has read of
the Boston tea parry and the war
which followed it should know that
there is no possibility of a tariff for all
this continent with the interests of
the United States getting the protec-
tion they are entitled to. Henry NJ.
Whitney has said that President
Roosevelt told him that he was in ia
vor OF continental froe trade, and the
president is too busy travelling to deny
any such foolishness. If free trade is
good Tor all North America it is also
good for all the world, and the facts of
history prove that it Is the greatest
maker of beggars the world has ever
known. Any American who has been
to England within five years can fur
nish all the proof that is necessary for
that. 1t is on demonstration over
there all the time, and the greatest
economists of the thinking world have
been able to find no other cure for il
than the putting of the industries of
nation under a protective system of
tariff which will guarantee the safe in
vestment Of capital and the payment
of living wages to the workers.-Wo

Just Wonderful.

Vestry. Miss, Jan. lst (SpeciaD The
case of Mrs. c. w. Pearson, who resides

Here is the story told by Mr.. Pearson,

MY wife's health was bad for a long
time. Last July she was taken terrible
bad with Epasms. | sent for the doctor,
and after making a thorough examination
of her, he said undoubtedly the cause
of her trouble was a disordered state of
the Kidneys. His medicine didn't seem
to DE doing her much good, so as l heard
about Dodd's Kidney Pills, | got her a
box just to give them a trial Well, the
effect was Just wonderful I saw that
they were the right medicine and / got
these she was 50 much better that she
had increased thirty pounds in weight.
She IS now quite well. and we owe it all
to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
