Probably after awhile the Amer
lean workingmen will learn what
a protective tariff is intended for.
When hard times come the for
eign laborer withdraws his Amer
lean gold from the banks and re-
turns home, leaving the American
laborer to pay the tariff or starve.
"Protection to American labor
under the broad shield of Ameri-
can law" sounds good, but it will
not fill the empty dinner pail.

LITTLE JoE's BROTHER BILL.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1908-01-30

There are some people running
at large without the protection of a
guardian who proclaim Bill Daw-
son can astute and shrewd politi-
cian," while a few followers of his
machine are brainless enough to
call him a Statesman" They
don't know Bill. We do. He has
not an original rlea above an oys-
ter shell in the domain of states
manship, and his proclaimed "as-
tuteness" and "shrewdness" i'm the
game of politics belongs toStephen
Benton Elkins: Steve has been
manufacturing the bombs which
Bill has been exploding in West
Virginia for the past fifteen years.
Without the Elkins bombs Bill
would be the man behind the pop
gun ard would be powerless to
MAIN and kill those who oppose
his machine.
1t was Steve Elkins who elm
mated Col. Charles +. Teter i'm the
Wheeling convention, and if Ar
mold g. Scherr is to be given a like
dose of the dope it will be Steve
who will have to be given the
credit as the expert mixologist
who compounded the ingredients
that will put Arnold to sleep.
Left to his own resources Bill is
not a second-rate ward politician,
with due apologies TO the ward
heelers. Let Steve deprive Bill of
his grubstake and he will have TO
give up his gold mine of politics
and return TO the woods and dig
for ginseng that the heather Chi
nese may amuse themselves in
their game of fan.tan while wor-
shipping their idols and giving
thanks that they do not have to
travel the Bill Dawson tax reform
county roads.
We like Bill and have an abil
ing faith in his intuitions to hog
all the political offices that he can
get his claws on, but this year we
are going to relegate him to the
rear and perch him upon the stake
and-rider fence that he may gaze
on the pie wagon as it slowly
plods the county roads through
the ruts and mud holes his "tax
reform" has imposed upon us. 1t
is doubtful whether SIX years at
the mourner's bench can restore
the county-road travellers to piety
and forgiveness after they have
once traversed the "tax-rcform"
roads. And Bill has called the
legislature in special session to see
that the ruts and mud holes deep.
EN- that he may be canonized as
the SAINT who solved the riddle of
tax reductions.

Asks Us to Print,

To relieve the worst form of
rheumatism take a teaspoonful of
the following mixture after each
meal and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dsndelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon, one
ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapa
rilla, three ounces.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from our home druggists.
and are easily mixed by shaking
them ~ell IN a bottle. Relief is gen
orally felt from the first few doses.
This prescription, states well
known authority IN Cleveland
morning paper, forces the clogeed
mp, inactive kidneys TO filter and
strain from the blood the poisonous
waste matter and uric acid which
causes rheumatism.
As rheumatism is not only the
most painful and tOrturous disease.
but dangerous 10 life, this simpie
recipe will no doubt be greatly
valued by many sufferers here at
home, who should at once prepare
the mixture 20 get this relief
II is said that person who would
take this prescription regularly, a
dose or two daily Or even few
times week, would never have
serious kidney or urinary disorders
or rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve b..
Good rheumatism prescriptions
which really relieve are scarce, IN
deed, and when you need IL, you
want u badly. Our druggists here
say they will either supply these
ingredients or pske the mixture
ready to take,sif any Of our readers
50 prefer.
