for the year 1905, shows an average OF
1851 each. That Is less than s45 a
month, and as the cost of living has
increased over so per cent. and was
over 40 per cent. in 1905, the pros.
perity of tariff protected labor, which
the Republicans boast 30 much OF, is
hardly bed of roses. II the large
salaries paid to managers and others
were omitted the average wage to the
workmen would be much less, and yet
labor is expected to vote to continue
this policy Of protecting the trusts
which. while It adds but little, If any,
TO their wages, extracts much more in
the high price of all they buy.

CHILDREN TORTURED.

Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent ply
stefan for an obstinate case OF eczema,
l resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrlp'
ton and relied entirely on the Cuti'
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Gu
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticrra Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely well. and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble.
IN July Of this year a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were q

only the Cuticura Remedies, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas

REPUBLICAN PROPERTY.
Bank Securities Shrinking and Money
Situation Critical.

There is great effort by Republican
newspapers TO show that tho Wall
street panic has had no effect on gen.
eral business and will not hart the
people generally. But a special dis
patch from New York to the Washing.
ton Post puts much more serious
aspect on the matter and shows that
the official report on savings banks ex-
hibits q decline In the value OF bonds
and stocks in which their deposits are
invested from 1896 of almost $4,000
900. Since January /, the date Of that
report, there has been an average de-
cline In the price OF stocks of 20 per
cent. which must have affected the
value Of bonds and stocks owned by
the savings banks very seriously.
The $3.50 national banks of the
United States on May Goth held bonds
and other securities amounting to u
trihe over 1919 100000, and these in-
vestments must show IA similar loss to
what the savings banks have suffered.
The report OF the national banks to
the comptroller of the currency does
not show how much the banks have
written of for depreciation OF invest
ments and the actual situation is,
therefore, obscure An index ID TO be
found, however, In the case OF the ma.
tional banks Of New York city, which
reported on May goth the value OF
stocks and bonds and securities held
by them as $132. 144,20O. decrease Of
SJ,S00.O00 from the amount of the same
holdings on March 22d previous. These
great losses to the banks is one of the
causes OF the tight money market
which will undoubtedly become more
stringent during the coming fall

IN New York, at least, have had to pay
