AS OTHERS THINK
Everyone in Leon Has a Right to
His Own Opinion.

While everyone has a right to his own
opinion, yet it is wise to always con-
slider what others think and profit by
their experience.
Nothing makes life so miserable, or
interferes so widely with the useful
ness of the average American, as indi.
gestion, and it is we'll for us to give
fair consideration to what others think
about this remarkable affection.
L. P. Van Werden is positive that in
Mi-o-na stomach tablets he has an
absolute cure for indigestion and the
many disagreeable symptoms that fol-
low this disease, such as distress after
eating, coated tongue, bad taste in the
mouth, dizziness, flatulence, nervous
ness and debility.
His action in selling Mi-o-na on a
guarantee to refund the money unless
it cures, shows plainly his belief in
the value of this remedy. He takes
all the risk and there will be no charge
whatever for Mi-o-na unless you are
satisfied that it has relieved you Of
indigestion.

COMPLAINTS OF MEAT PRICES

Complaints have been recently seen
In numerous papers that while the
prices of live stock and especially of
hogs have gone down materially in the
western markets, noHproportionate de-
crease and in most places no decrease
at all, has taken place in the retail
prices of meat.
Why there should be surprise at this
we are unable to imagine, since it is
the regular rule in that example of the
benefcent organization to never reduce
prices, the packers combination. When
live stock goes up cent the wholesale
price OF meat is advanced cent and a
half, and the retail price from cent
and three quarters to two cents. But
when the operation is reversed as at
present, the one and two-cent declines
on live stock are accompanied by half
cent reductions on the wholesale prices.
which whittles the decline down to
nothing on retail prices. How can you
expect your butcher to cut off an entire
cent from his price when he has got but
half as much reduction from the whole
saler?
For this are the meat combinations,
We do not say that the figures are pre-
else, but the rule of preventing the de-
clines from keeping in proportion with
the advances has constituted the great
method of making the margin between
live meats and that sold to the con-
sumner greater than ever before.

TARIFFS AND pANICS.

While we marvel how such things
can be under the reign of a party in
league with the Divinity, it is worth
remembering that at the time of the
panic of 1873 republican was president
and the congress overwhelmingly re-
publican; a republican was president
when the panic of 1884 occurred, and
the panic of 1898 had begun when a
democrat was elected to the white
house. In 1898 we had the highest pro-
tective tariff in our history up to that
time, and when the panic of 1907 oc-
Cured we had the highest tariff in all
our history. 1t is necessary to link
panics with the tariff only when repub-
lican shouters link prosperity with the
republican party.-Dubuque Telegraph.

A BANKERS SCARE.

If a man could compile all the banl,
statements made in the country as the
result OF the controllers recent call and
compare them with the statements made
six months ago, he would not need to
ask his neighbor why tho money strin-
gency exists He would even laneh
when somebody told him that the peonIe
were boarding their money. If there
is single bank in North America that
has not increased it's cash reserve S5OO0
or better since times became panickv
1t would stand out as a shining excan.
ton. Some of them have gained far
greater sums. 1t is fully within reason
to estimate that two hundred millions
OK additional currency has been placed
In the reserves of the banks Of the
country so as to make them strong.
When the panic storm strnck the
public knew nothing of it until the
banks told them. A local disturbance
IN New York precipitated loss of con-
fidence in banks which soon mt the
ordinary cash reserves of the New
York banks in danger. They then sent
word to Chicago not to draw on them
ior currency while they were in dis
tress at home. Chicago had accepted
deposits from nearly every bank in the
west, and owed them all currency on
demand, so Chicago sent out word not
TO draw on her for currency until New
York got ready to pay. Up to that
time no bank in the settled states of
the central west had needed any cur
rency and had normal conditions not
been disturbed these banks would have
actually continued to ship currency to
the centers, but the moment the coun-
try banker heard that there was likely
to be trouble he did what depositors do
when they get scared; every mothers
son suddenly had immediate need for a
large portion of his deposit. Each
banker figured that "I'll make nv bank
strong so he called for $4,000 in cur
rency hoping to get $4,000. The banks
holding the reserves of other banks
suddenly faced run and were forced
to limit withdrawals. Since then thew
have sent out much currency and many
q country banker has admitted that he
did not need it. He merely wanted to
see whether he could get it, in fact, he
hadn't even opened the package of
bright, new bills. Others just held on
TO the currency that came to them in
the natural course of business until
their reserve grew large.
Yesterday the banker always Dragged
about the size of his banks deposits.
Today when he wants to expand his
chest he points to the size of his re-
serve. The result is no flow of cur
Eency to the reserve center and the
constant danger that more will be
called out if the limit on Withdrawals
IS lifted. Talk about the people hoard
ing their money! Look at your home bank
statement, multiply it by 700 banks in
Iowa and then again by half the states
in the union. And yet they can't help
keeping themselves strong. 1t reminds
one of the cyclone in Grinnell. All that
summer the people of Grinnell ran to
their cellars every time black cloud
arose in the west and they were not to
be blamed for it, but after that year
they acted just like other people.
Every passing week will help the cur
rency situation with the banks of the
country. -Marshalltown Times-Republi-

I'm GOD WE TRUST"

Ollie James, the brilliant young Demo-
cratic congressman from Kentucky, has
introduced a bill in congress making it
obligatory on the government to place
the inscription "In God We Trust" on
all coins minted by the government
which are large enough to admit of the
lettering. This bill was prepared by
William Jennings Bryan who selected
Congressman James to introduce it and
urge it's passage.
The taking from the coins Of this
government the inscription which had
become part of our national currency
was little less than sacrilegious, for it
had become an integral part of our
monetary system, as much as the coin
itself. No valid reason has ever been
offered for it's elimination and the within
of President Roosevelt alone seems re-
sponsible for it's discontinuanee.
Today, as it has ever been, the United
State is a christian nation, and the men
who built the framework of this great
structure which is now so exemplified
in our national greatness. were God
fearing, God loving and devout. In all
OF their work they sought strength
from on high and prayed before they
acted. The fact that they differed
in UNCONVENTIONAL belief did not prevent
them from all recognizing mutual de-
pendence in the Creator. In all of it's
life the Democratic party has ever been
the exponent of the belief that the
nation is under divine guidance and in
all of it's actions has recognized that
inspiration and belief. To it the taking
OF the motto from our coins is little
less than challenge to the Almighty
and the assumption that the Republican
party feels itself strong enough to get
along without his aid and comfort. 1t
is to be hoped that if for no other
reason than that the inscription is
constant reminder of our duty, that
the efforts Of Mr.. Bryan and Congress-
man James will meet with success and
that we will again be recognized as
Christian nation even in our financial
affairs.-St. Joe Observer.
