Figured Out.

The average educated man
gets a salary of $1,000 per year,
He works forty years, making a
total of $40, 600 in a life time.
The average day laborer gets
$3.50 per day, 300 days in the
year. or $3.50 in a year. In forty
years he earns SIS, 1000. The
difference, or $4,000, equals the
value of an education. To ac-
quire this earning capacity re-
quires twelve years at school OF
1870 days each or 2,16O days.
Divide $4,000, the value of an
education, by 2,160, the number
of days required in getting it,
and we find that each day OF
school is worth so to a pupil

ROYAL TONIC
Beats Anything We Ever Sold as a
Strength-Creator and Body.
Builder.

The Moss Pharmacy is very en-
thusiastic over the delicious cod liver
oil preparation, which contains no
oil. In referring to the matter, said
Mr.. F. f. Davis, of the Moss Phar-
macy. I'VE sell many tOnics, and we
handle all kinds of remedies that
claim to be invigorators and strength
creators. We do this because we are
druggists, and it is our business to
supply the public with what they want.
When our advice is asked, however,
in regard to a tonic, body-builder or
strength-creator, we invariably rec
ommend Vinol, as we know of nothing
that can compare with it.
In VinOl modern science has given
US all of the tonic, bodybuilding
and curative properties of that famous
old remedy cod liver oil, actually
taken from fresh Gods liverS, without
a drop of the obnoxious and system
clOgging grease which characteriZes
old fashioned cod liver oil and elnul-
siOns, and which has proved such a
drawback.
Vinol is moi a patent medicine, as
the label on each bottle tells every
thing it contains, therefore you know
exactly what you are taking.
In the most natural manner it tones
up the digestive organs. creates a
hearty appetite, makes rich, red blood,
and strengthens every organ in the
body to do its work as nature in
tended.
Our faith in Vinol is so strong that
we gladly offer to refund the money
in every case where it fails to give
satisfaction" Moss Pharmacy.

recipient of special protective duties
for the encouragement of that industry
In the United States, and that, too, at
a time when there was practically no
tin plate manufactured in the United
States, some facts brought out for the
Information Of his home people by this
British consul are Of particular value.
British Consul Finn naturally desires
to Inform his British friends Just
what is happening to them. He ex-
plains that American imports of tin
plate, notably from Great Britain, ma
terially decline. He says that until
recently the British tin plate maker
could sell plate to the American can
ners because the duty paid ON British
plate was refunded when the canned
goods were exported. But" he says,
"the American manufacturer has in
some way been able to meet this re-
ductiOn in price"
Here is British testimonial Of what
protection has done for an industry
In the United States in not only cur
failing purchases Of manufactures
from abroad and establishing a field
for American capital and labor, but
also In the short period of f1ve years
capturing q British province for the
sales Of an American manufactured
article
This British testimonial, given to the
people of Great Britain by an officer
of the British foreign Office, is one of
the best and most instructive and val
liable that the cause of protection in
the United States has received from
any source.

BRYAN A FREE TRADER.
He Stfl Regards Protection as =
Great National Evil.

lie Stin Regards Protection as a
Great National Evil.
Mr., Bryan has not recanted the po-
lltical doctrines he preached In 1896
and 1900 lie stands today where he
stood then, and his two cardinal prin-
ciples then were free silver and free
trade.
There is one great virtue Of Mr.. Bry-
ans character. He is consistent and
unwavering III his principles He is
not a trimmer or an Opportunist
When the Democratic party nominates
him for president In 1908, as there is
now every indication that 1t will do, he
will dictate the platform and make the
campaign issues.
Mr.. Bryan believes that tariff protec-
tion is great national evil that shell
ters a whole brood Of evils. He would
apply the ax to the roots of the tariff
system. His doctrine is the time hon
ored Democratic doctrine that a tariff
should be made for revenue only, with
out any regard to manufacture; that
the government has no right to impose
taxes for any other purpose save the
expense of the government.
The financial doctrine of Mr.. Bryan
has been so we'll dlscredited by expert
ence In the last ten years that it will
be held in the background. In matters
of real reform President Roosevelt and
congress have cut away the ground
from Mr.. Bryan and his party. There
will therefore be no issue to come up
in the next two years to have equal i'm
portance with the tariff question, and
that will be the great issue of the can
dldacy Of Mr.. Bryan.
Meanwhile the country will have oe-
cas!on In the congressional elections
this year to pass preliminary judgment
on the tariff question. The voters will
say in the elections In the various
states whether they are prepared to
carry out the theories of Mr.. Bryan.
New Jersey will go on record with the
rest Of the country. The first five
years since the last federal census
show a phenomenal increase in the in
dustria prosperity of this state. What
the federal census Of 1910 will show
depends wholly upon the results of the
elections for congressman and presi-
dent In the state and national elections
in 1906 and 1UUS.-Newark Advertiser

A Question Of PntrioVism

Some of our Democratic friends are
putting up Il howl because congress
has ordered canal supplies to be bought
in this country. Why not? The ques-
tion of tariff has nothing to do with
the case. 1t is purely question Of
patriotism, of helping out your own
family. Exactly the same thing ap-
plies to communities. The man who
deserts his home merchants to patron
ize those of another borough merely
because he can save a penny or two
shows poor specimen of public spirit.
We are glad that at least every Repub-
llcan from New England went on rec
ord as favoring such purchases. Keep
the money at home, where the taxes
are assessed and paid. = Waltham

| Bryan and his party in a campaign OF
trust busting.
There are evidences that the COM
.binations which restrain trade can be
checked in proper ways without de-
stroying the economic policy which
brings and has brought to the country
unparalleled prosperity since the era
Of Democratic free trade and demor.
aliZation which existed from 1893 to
1897.
The Republican party in the present
congress has contributed its full share
by efficient legislation. and the adj
ministration of President Roosevelt Ia
daily accomplishing beneficent results
III the way of curblng the rapaclty OF
corporations and preventing the uatlue
activity of unlawful combinations
which restrain trade and commerce
among the people. The record of the
Republican party and of President
Roosevelts administration on this sub
ject affords abundant evidence that
the party of protection believes in cor
modern industrial and commercial
methods without destroying the m ton
al economic policy which makes uni
versa! prosperity possible.
That there has been and is now uni
versal prosperity under the operations
of the protective tariff law is substan-
tally proved by the returns of the CEN
sus bureau, by the facts collected
throughout industrial centers regard
ing employment and wages and also
by the official government figures re-
garding the trade of the United States
as well as the revenues received from
our customs policy.
The most significant fact in cOnnec-
tion with the operations of the govern
ment under the protective tariff law Is
that during the fiscal year now almost
ended the aggregate receipts from ctls-
toms duties increased approximately
$4O,O00O0O over the receipts of the pre-
vious year. Now. while this Increase
has been recorded during the past year
in the volume of imports, so well have
the trade laws of the country operated
that the increase in exports of dOmes-
tic commodities will be found when the
record of the year is completed to
amount to more than $240, 100000 over
the total volume exported during the
previous year.
At the close of the fiscal year Of 1905
the treasury faced deficit of approx
imately $300OO,OO0. This year the
treasury records will show a surplus
of approximately Sl5,000O00. What
ever may be said about economy In
expenditures. the fact remains that the
Increase in receipts this year Of ap-
proximately $GO000O0O affords abun-
dant evidence of the soundness Of the
nations revenue laws.
Facing the record Of the present con-
gress and the splendid results of the
protective system. it Is predicted the
opponents of Republican protection
will make little headway in their cam
paign of trying to destroy trusts" by
destroying the protective system, which
has contributed so much to bring about
the prosperity which the country now
enjoys.

IN NAME OF COMMON SENSE
why Should Any Intelligent Person
Demand TariR RevisiOnF

Demand Tariff RevislOnF
The United States now leads all the
countries In the world as an exporting
nation, and yet we have been told since
the beginning Of tariff discussions that
a protective tariff country must neces-
sarily be Isolated and excluded from
the markets of the world.
Isn't it time that even the most OBJ.
durate Of free traders should acknowf-
edge that they have been in error and
that their most cherished dogmas are
fallacles? Is it not also time for the
American people to learn to exercise
little self control In the presence Of
conditions which are temporarily not
just to our liking?
Never before in the history of our
country has protective tariff law
been so thoroughly indicated as has
the Dingley tariff law. II on the day
of the enactment of that statute some
enthusiastic friend Of protection had
predicted upon the floor of congress or
elsewhere that in decade under the
operation Of that law the United States
would become the greatest export ma.
ton In the world and that the total
volume of our exports and imports
would exceed $500 O00,O 600 he would
have been looked upon as a dreamer or
a lunatic.
Why in the name Of common sense
should we not be satisfied with such
marvellous achievements? Why should
any sensible person be demanding a
change Huntington IN. j. Enterprise.
