Chasing Commercial Rainbows.

There may be a bag of gold at the
end of every rainbow; but where Is
the end of the thing? The rainbow
of Imperialism is the South Amer
lean and Asiatic market, especially
the market for American cotton and
iron products. But the monthly con
sular and trade reports of the bureau
Of manufactures for June, 1907, shows
what sort of illusions we have har'
bored in respect to such markets.
These reports show that the Anglo
Argentina Cotton company is produc.
ing enormous quantities of raw cot.
ton, and that the "AlgodoneSa NaciOn-
al" has established cotton-spinning
and weaving factories which consume
the native output of lint and bid fair
to capture the entire textile market
in South America. Last year there
were established in the Argentine Re.
public 80 new cotton mills, with near
" 5000, 900 spindles. At this rate,
how long will it take Argentina to
supply South America with cotton
goods?
The reports further show that in
Australia the cotton-growing industry
is firmly established, and that thers
are millions of acres-a territory, in
fact, as large as the cotton belt of
the United States-available for the
cultivation Of the Caravonica or any
other class of cotton. Manufacturing
is sure to follow the production of the
raw material. English capital is avail
able, and will be used for that pur-
pose.
AS to cotton goods, then, neither
the Asiatic nor the South American
markets can be monopolized by the
United States.
And as it is with cotton products,
so it is with iron products. Those
countries abound in minerals. Our
missionaries, sent out by pious peo-
pie, to teach the natives how to get
to Heaven, are also teaching them
how to compete with us in the arts
Of civilization, and r in this way
raising up competition in all Asiatic
and African countries. Thus does en-
lightenment destroy imperialism, and
creates competition. Our best foreign
market is for breadstuffs and raw cot
ton, and is confined to Europe. And
yet our standpatters refuse to lower
our tariff wall and our trade with
Europe, except for raw material, is
becoming more and more limited and
our commerce with Asia and South
America is being cut from under us.

4 NEW departure in postal cards
"A has been decided upon by the
post Office department. Beginning
August l the will get more
for his penny than heretofore. The
front side, for years reserved by an
memorable rule for the address,, will
he invaded by advertisements, pic
lures and messages.
Postmaster General Meyer has pro-
anulgated an order to this effect. A
vertical line will be placed about one
third of the distance from the left
end of the card. The space to the
right of this line will be reserved for
the address, and the remaining por-
ton of the front side may be devoted
to details of how all the children are,
or any other of the things that here
dofore have been confined to the back
side.
For years people have been sending
TO the United States from foreign
countries postal cards and post cards
with messages written on the front as
well as on the back of the cards, al
though in this country this advantage

OF NEW POSTAL CARDS

has been denied the users Of govern
ment postal cards. Some months ago
the United States postal laws and
regulations were amended so as to
give that privilege to buyers of post
cards, but such concession was not
made applicable to postal cards. To-
days ruling will remedy this incon-
sistency and so prevent further confu-
sion. A very thin sheet of paper may be
attached, if it completely adheres to
the card and such a paster may beai
both writing and printing. Hereto
fore two cents in postage was re
CURED if this was done. Advertise
ments, illustrations or writing may
appear on the back of the card and on
the left third of the front.
Postal cards bearing particles Of
glass, metal, mica, sand, tinsel, or
other such substances are declared to
be unavailable, except when inclosed
in envelopes or when treated in such
a manner as will prevent the objec.
tionable materials from being rubbed
off or injuring the hands of persons
handling the mails.

An up-to-pate President.

DR.. Daniel B. Turney, the probable
candidate of the Prohibitionists for
the presidency, scored President
Roosevelt in his speech before the
general conference of the Free Meth
odist church at it's late meeting.
"A president who carries a cigar.
cite in his mouth and a six-shooter
in his pocket does not set a good ex-
ample to the youth of the nation"
said DR.. Turney; "and that letter to
Mr.. Hartman, which he himself hand
ed out, let us try to forget.
"As Samson wist not when his
strength was departed, so our strenu-
Gus president seems in ignorance of
hcving lost his popularity, but it has
gone forever.
Loud applause and cries of That's
So greeted the utterance."
Our Methodist brethren must not
get too particular these days, for what
would have been a queer performance
fer Lincoln, or Cleveland. or McKin-
ley seems quite in keeping with our
up-to-date and more strenuous chief
magistrate.

the American legation at Picking and
later vice and deputy consul general
at Canton and Dalny, and William
Phillips of Massachusetts, formerly
private secretary to Ambassador
Choate at London and for the last
two years second secretary of the
American legation at Picking.
All of these young diplomats speak
and read the oriental languages, are
familiar with the domestic politics Of
the far eastern nations and well
versed in questions of diplomacy now
pending between the United States
and the oriental countries. The pre-
liminary negotiations between this
country and Japan in drafting a new
treaty probably will be referred to the
Far Eastern Bureau.
Another important duty which will
devolve upon the newly-organized
bureau will be to consider the numer-
Gus petitions and diplomatic notes"
which are annually presented to the
state department suggesting changes
in the existing treaty between the
United States and China.

THE POST ROADS CLAUSE.
Presidents Contention Is Direct Slap
at State Rights.

The Farrar-Roosevelt scheme for
usurping control over the states OF the
union under the post roads clause OF
the federal constitution Is one that
raises again the old issue OF states
rights, On which both the Democratic
and the Republican parties were
originally founded. 1t was long ago
adw Gated by certain public men with
axes to grind, but was thoroughly ex-
ploded by President Monroe and
Jackson. In his message vetoing q
bill which had passed both houses of
congress "for the preservation and
repair of the Cumberland road" Pres
verb ito establish" which limits and
defines the power of congress over
post roads and post Offices, said that
by the word establish" power was
given to fix on the towns, c%ourthouses
and other places throughout our union
at which there should be post offices,
the routes by which mails should be
carried from n post office to an
other, so as to diffuse intelligence as
extensively and to make the institu-
ton as useful as possible, to fix the
postage to be paid on every letter and
package thus carried, to support the
establishment and to protect the post
Office and mails from robbery by pun
ishing those who should commit the
offense. = = The use of the exist
ing road by the stage, mail carrier or
postboy in passing over it, as others
do, is all that would be thought OF, the
Jurisdiction and soil remaining to the
state, with a right in the state or
those authorized by its legislature to
change the road at pleasure"
This has been accepted as the Dem.
ocratic position ever since; and it is
more important that this position
should be s~teadfastly maintained at
this time than ever before. All rail-
roads,, street car lines, streets, ceun-
try roads, post office buildings, etc.,
could be brought extensively under
federal control, il the presidents On
tention were accepted. Not only
state rights, but all home rule and
local rights would be a%brogated by 1t
The proposition is not only in viola
ton of the constitution; but is con-
trary to the fourth section of the Re-
publican national platform Of 1860,
which declared:
THAT the maintenance inviolate OF
the rights Of the state, Is es.
sential to that balance of power ON
which the perfection and endurance OF
our political fabric depends"
Lincoln maintained this position as
earnestly as Jefferson, Monroe or
Jackson ever did. But it 10 a far cry
from Lincoln to Roosevelt.

S pe-ru-na Useful

Should list of the ingredients ofPe-

he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one cfthem was ofun-
doubted value in chronic catarrhal dis
eases, and had stood the test Of many
years experience in the treatment Of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT

remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient
Of Peruna has a reputation of its own

BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treat

the home the scientific skill and knowl-
edge ofthe modern pharmacist; ndlast
butnotlcast, brings to the home the vast
and varied experience of DR.. Hartman,
intheuseofcatarr remedies, and in the
treatment Of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is a dis.
ease which is very prevalent Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
catarrh. It may be ofthe nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture Of the disease. The only troubls
Is the remedy. This doctor has triedto
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on a large scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, Of the purest drugs and Of
the strictest uniformity. His idea Is
that this remedycan be supplied direct
~ to the people, and no more be charged
for it than il necessary for the
handling Of it.

moving steadily along the lines pro-
posed by the national organization to
secure control Of as much Of the cotton
crop as possible, and by relieving the
farmers and producers of the burden OF
holding it for higher prices, to force
the middle men and spinners to pay .
fair price. The plan suggested as the
only feasible solution of the difficulty,
is the building of a sufficient number OF
warehouses, established at convenient
places in every county, or two or three
such places if necessary, in which the
farmer can store his cotton for a nomi-
nal fee, and at greatly reduced insur-
ance, until the market settles and q
substantial price is offered.
