Congressman Burton, of Ohio,
has declared for tariff reform. In
a speech at Aurora, he said: Re
publicans must give early attention
to the revision of the tariff. The
time is already ripe" He wants
freer access to our markets; or,
in other words, freer trade. With
Burton a free trader and Knox a
strict constructionist, it looks as il
the Republican party had troubles
of its own.

Z thc rallroaus dump into tue post
offices every blessed thing they
can lay their hands on excepting
feathers and lint cotton.
Oh, how heavy the mail sacks do
meduring the weighing periodl
Mail clerks sweat and swear; post
matters tug and toll; the mail cars
are crammed so full that the mice
have to get out; and the averages
which the railroads are trying to
to make swell like peas in pot.
BY the time the mail weighing
period is over, and those who
are on to the racket exchange
winks and sly jokes-while those
who did the lifting wipe the sweat
off and cuss one last volley-Uncle
Sam has been brought face to face
with fraudulent average which,
during the next four years, steals
millions of dollars from the tax
payers.
Carloads of the junk which goes
to make up this fraudulent average
is supplied TO the railroads by
congressman These public SER
wants enjoy the ranking privilege
which means, that their names.
stamped upon mail matter, carry
through the mails, free of charge,
letters, papers, pamphlets, books,
garden seed and so forth. 1t is
even said that all sorts OF merchan-
disc, wearing apparel, house furni-
ture, musical Instruments and pro-
visions are sent trough the mails
by congressman who believe in
getting everything possible out of
their chances and privileges. So
far asl am informed, no statesman
has, as yet, sent his horse and
buggy to Washington and back by
mail-but there is no. telling when
even that will happen. Pianos
have been sent by mail, under the
franking privilege; and this fat
fellow, Taft, who is running for
President, sent his automobile from
Washington to San Francisco al
public expense, few years ago
thinking he might need it while
there. He did not not need it, as
it happened, and the automobile
came back to Washington, at pub
lie expense again, without ever
having been used.
a Senator or Representative who
will frank few tons of junk, when
the railroads want it, so that it NAV
be hauled back and forth during
the weighing period, enables the
railroad to make a fraudulent
average and to rob. the people.
SONG Congressman have become
notorious for their guilty friend
Ishiptoth railroads. For instance,
it is well known that the Southern
Railroad-can count on Lon Livings-
ton, of the Atlanta District. every
time.
But who is the Senator that be-
longs to the Seaboard AirLine2
OF course, we knew that in a
general way, Tom Ryan, who owns
the Seaboard, also owns the two
Senators from Virginia-but which
Senotor gave him sixteen tons of
junk to aid him in working another
one of his Infamous swindles?
Sixteen tons - $4,000 poundsl
And they not only got the benefit
OF the weight once, but three times!
| Why, that reminds sne OF the
way in which Hamp McWhorter
and Jim Smith of Ogle,hrope made
SO much money out of Tea. chi

The Republican leaders of Mass

Thus is the great protective system
crumbling through peanut politics
in its very cradle. Give us free
peanuts, and tax all else as the

publicans. AS 70 clothing, sewing
machines, watches, steel rails,

No great orator has ever been
elected President of the United

and labor to become an crater, that
when a man has finally been sue
cessful in that endeavor, he is not

has already been launched i'm sew
eral counties of the state. Captain

counties have already commenced
the construction Of modern turn

Old Chronic Sores

As dressing for old chronic sores
there is nothing so good as Chamberlain 3
Salve. While it is not advisable to heal
old sores entirely, they should be kept in
good condition, for which this salve is
especially valuable. For sore nipples
Chamberlain's Salve has no superior.

James j. Hill says that the
credit of the railroads has been
ruined. Loss of credit, of course,
means that the public has lost con-
tidence in the managers of the rail
road corporations; and for that
result the Harrimans, Schiffs, Cas-
salts, and others who have been
involved in the scandals of the past
two years are responsible. Nc
doubt, these men would be glad to
unload their watered stock on the
Government. But that scheme
won't work.

PAINTERS QUIT
THIRTY MEMBERS or UNION co
ON STRIKE.
Contractor Johnson Refused to Dis

orators and Paperhangers of America,
are out today and it is possible that
their places viii be filled by the em-
ployers as it is understood men have
been sent for in the twin cities and
will be here tonight or tomorrow.
The disagreement seems TO have its
origin over the refusal of *. II. john
son to discharge Hans Peterson, former
partner in the business with Mr.. john
son and later engaged temporarily in
assisting him during the spring rush
of work. Mr. Peterson was informed
that he would be required to join the
union or that the men would quit at the
Johnson establishment. He declined
and Mr.. Johnson refused to discharge
him. In consequence about fourteen
men walked out and the union held a
meeting in Odd Fellows hall this fore
noon and voted to SO out. The employ
ers met at the Commercial club rooms
this morning and unanimously decided
upon filling the places OF the men now
out with painters from down below.
The painters have notified the en-
ployers that they will meet a commit
tee, representing the employers at
O'clock this afternoon and a settlement
of the differences is possible.
The employers signed the unior
agreement, to take effect May |. and
the first clause of the agreement is as
follows.
Article No. 1. The employment Of

The employers claim that the unior
is unable to furnish enough union mer
