MALARIA AND
 WEAK HEART

The following interesting story told by MT. J. H. Riley, Pensioned Bremen of South Boston, Mass, is sample of the thousands received from grateful men and women who have been bene- fited by the Worlds great tonic-stimu- lant.
 In an interview, MT Riley said:
 q joined the Fire Department of South Boston in 1890 and was lately pensioned off because of a bad fall while in service, which telescoped my spine
 "A little over year ago was taken sick while in the engine house, and it developed into heart trouble and ma laria. I went to a number of doctors and two different hospitals, and went through a course of treatment from each, but I did not receive much ben eft from any of them. The doctors would not let me go in swimming, nor smoke, nor drink anything but water. was getting very serious when friend said to me: Why don't you get a bot tie of Duffys Malt Whiskey? I know a man who was given up for all time. and he took Duffy's Malt Whiskey and today he is as we'll man as you can find So 1 commenced taking Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and the result is that the doctors now say that I am all right, and I never felt better in my life. Of course, I am very little good as far as heavy work is concerned, ow- ing to my injury, but I am well, and that is good thing to be able to say. thank you for the remedy that put me on my feet again."
 Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is an ab- solutely pure distillation of matted grain; great care being used to have every kernel thoroughly matted, thus destroying the germ and producing a predigested food in the form of malt essence, which is the most effective tonic stimulant and invigorator known to science; softened by warmth and moisture, it's palatability and free dom from injurious substances render t. most sensitive stomach.
 (Dose) :-One tablespoonful in each glass of drinking water during the hot weather will kill all germs.
 If weak and run down, take a tea spoonful four times day in half 8 glass of milk or water. It stimulates the heart action, causes the blood tc course more quickly through the veins and builds new tissue.
 Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is sold throughout the world by druggists, gro cers and dealers, or shipped direct for $1.00 per bottle.

Necessity for Revision of Tariff.

The consequent material development has greatly changed the conditions un- der which many articles described by the schedule of the tariff are now pro duced The tariff in a number of the schedules exceeds the difference between the cost of production of such articles abroad and at home, including req sonable profit to the American producer The excess over that difference serves no useful purpose, but offers tempta- ton to those who would monopolize the production and the sale of such articles in this country, to profit by the excess over rate. On the other hand there are some few other schedules in which the tariff is not sufficiently high to give the measure of protection which they should receive upon republican principles, as to those the tariff should be reduced. revision of the tariff undertaken upon this principle, which is at the basis Of our present business system, begun promptly upon the incoming of the new administration and considered at the spe- cial session with the preliminary in vestigations already begun by the ap- propriate committee of the House and Senate, will make the disturbance of bus mess incident to such change as little as possible

Democratic Tariff Plan and It's Bad
 Effect on Business Condition.

The democratic party in it's platform has not had the courage of it's previous convictions on the subject of the tarin denounced by it in 1904 as system of robbery of the many for the benefit of the few, but it does declare it's intention to change the tariff with view of reach ing a revenue basis and thus to depart from the protective system. The intro duction into power of a party with this avowed purpose cannot but halt the gradual recovery of the more recent financial depression and produce busi- ness disaster in comparison with which our recent panic and depression will seem small indeed.

The Farmer and the Republican Party.

As the republican platform says, the welfare of the farmer is vital to that of the whole country. One of the strong est hopes of returning prosperity is based on the business which his crops are to afford He is vitally interested in the restraining of excessive and unduly dis criminating railroad rates, in the en- forcement of the pure food laws, in the promotion of scientific agriculture, and in increasing the comforts of country lift by the extension of free rural de- livery. The policies of the present ad- ministration which have most indus triously promoted all these objects can not fail to commend themselves to his approval; and 1t Is difficult to see how with his intelligent appreciation of the threat to business prosperity involved in democratic success at the polls he can do otherwise than give his full and hearty support to the continuation of the present administration under repub- lican auspices.

Republican Doctrine of Protection.

HepupIican ooctTine VT ''oe'
 The republican doctrine of protection as definitely announced by the republic ans this year and by previous conven- tions. is that tariff shall be Imposed on all imported products whether Of the factory farm or mine, sufficiently great to equal the difference between the cost of production abroad and at home and that this difference should of course in- clude the difference between the higher wages paid in this country and the wages paid abroad and embrace req sonable profit to the American produc- ton. A system of protection thus adopt ed and put in force has led to the es- tablshment of a rate of wages nere that has greatly enhanced the standard of living of the laboring man. It is the policies of the republican party perma- nently to continue that standard of liv- ing. In 1897 the Dingly tariff bill was passed, under which we have had, as already said, a period of enormous wealth.

portance in view of the present condition Of business. After 10 years of the most remarkable material development ana prosperity there comes financial strlh- gency, panic and an industrial depres- sion. This was brought about not on'y by the enormous expansion of business plants and business investments when could not be readily converted but also by the waste of capital in extravaganza of living. in wars and other eatastrophes' The free convertible capital was exhaust ed. In addition to this the confidence or the landing public in Europe and in this country had been affected by the revela- tions of irregularities, breach of trust over-issues of stock violations of law and lack of rigid state or national super vision in the management of our largest corporation. Investors withheld what loanable capital remained available It became impossible for the soundest rail roads and other enterprises to borrow money enough for new construction or re- construction.
 Will Delay Restoration of Prosperity.
 Gradually business is acquiring healthier tone Gradually wealth, which was hoard ed, is coming out to be used Confidence in security of business investments is a plant of slow growth, and is absolutely necessary in order that our factories may all open again. in order that our un- employed may become employed and in order that we may again have the pros perity that has blessed us for 10 years. The identity of the interest of the capital is the farmer. the business man and the wage-earner in the security and profit of investments cannot be too largely empha- sized I submit to those most interested, to wage-earners, to farmers and to busi- ness men, whether the introduction into power of the democratic party, with MT. Bryan at it's head, and with the business construction that it openly advocates as remedy for present evils. will bring about the needed confidence for the restoration of prosperity.

Labor and What Republican Party Has Done For 1t.

We come now to the question of labor. One important phase of tre qualities of the present administration has been anxiety to secure for the wage earner an equality of opportunity and such positive statutory protection as will place him on a level in dealing party has passed an employers lia- bility act for interstate railroads and has established an eight-hour law for government employees and on gover.l- ment construction. The essence of the reform affected by the former is tns abolition of the fellow servant rule and the introduction of the comparative negligence theory by which an eni- ploye injured in the service of his eni- ployer does not lose all his right to re- cover because of slight negligence on his part Then there is the act pre- viding for compensation for injury to government employees, together with tn e various statutes requiring safety appliances upon interstate commerce railroads for the protection of their employees and limiting the hours of their employment. These are all ir- stances of the efforts of the republican party to do justice to the wage earnef. for compensation of government em ployes will be adopted in the future; the principal in such cases has been recognized, and is necessarily some- what slow course of legislation will be more fully embodied in definite stat utes.

Interest of Employer and EmpIoye
 Only Differ In Respect To Terms of
 Employment.
 The interests of the employer and the employe never differ except when it comes to a division of the joint prolt of labor and capital into dividends and wages. This must be a constant source of periodical discussion between the employer and employe as indeed lre the other terms of the employment.

Mere Aggregation of Capital Not a
 Violation of Antitrust Law.

In country like this, where in good times there is an enormous floating cap- ital awaiting investment, the period be- fore which effective competition by con struction of new plants can be intro- duced into any business is comparatively short, rarely exceeding a year, and is usually even less than that.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-29

The combination of capital in large plants to manufacture goods with the greatest economy is just as necessary as the assembling of the parts of a ma chine to the economical and more rapid manufacture of what in old times was made by hand. The government should not interfere with one any more than the other when such aggregations of capital are legitimate and are properly controlled, for they are then the natural results of modern enterprise and are beneficial to the public. In the proper operation of competition the public will soon share with the manufacturer the advantage in economical operation and lower prices

Proper Treatment of Trusts.

Unlawful trusts should be restrained with all the efficiency of injunctive pro- cess and the persons engaged in main- taining them should be punished with all the severity of criminal prosecution, in order that the methods pursued in the operation of their business shall be brought within the law. To destroy them and to eliminate the wealths they repre- sent from the producing capital of the country would entail enormous loss and would throw out of employment myriads of working men and working women. Such result is wholly unnecessary to the accomplishment of the needed re- form, and Will inf1ict upon the innocent far greater punishment than upon the guilty

Physical Valuation of Railways.

Some of the suggestions of the dem- ocratic platform relate really to this subordinate and ancillary machinery to which I have referred. Take for instance the so-called physical valuation of rail ways It is clear that the sum of all rates or receipts of a railway. less proper expenses should be limited to a fair profit upon the reasonable value of it's property, and that if the sum exceeds this measure it ought to be reduced. The difficulty in enforcing the principle is in ascertaining what is the reasonable value of the company's property, and in fixing what is fair profit It Is clear that the physical value of railroad and its plant is an element to be given weight in de- termining it's full value; but as President Roosevelt in his Indianapolis speech, and the supreme court have pointed out the value of the railroad as a going concern, including it's good will, due to efficiency of service and many other circumstances, may be much greater than the value of it's tangible property and it is the former that measures the investment on which a fair profit must be allowed Then, too
 the question what is fair profit is one involving not only the rate of interest usually earned on normally safe invest ments but also a sufficient allowance to make up for the risk of loss, both of capital andy interest in the original out lay. These Considerations will have jus tifed the c(mpany in imposing charges

 form.
 The democratic platform does not pro- pose to destroy the plants of the trusts physically, but it proposes to do the same thing In different way The business of this country is largely dependent on a protective system of tariffs The busi- ness done by many of the so-called trusts IS protected with the other businesses of the country. The democratic platform proposes to take off the tariff in all articles coming into competition with those produced by the so-called trusts" and to put them on the free list. If such course would be utterly destructive of their business, as is intended, it would not only destroy the trusts but all of their smaller competitors.
 The ruthless and impracticab1e charac- ter or the proposition grows plainer as us eHects upon the whole community are realized

Railway Traffic Agreements Apprcved By Commission Should Be Valid.

It is agreeable to note in this regard, that the republican platform expressly and the democratic platform impliedly, approve amendment to the interstate commerce law, by which interstate rail- roads may make useful traffic agree ments if approved by the commission. This has been strongly recommended by President Roosevelt and will make for the benefit of the business.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-07-29

The suggestion of the democratic platform that trusts be ended by fo"- bidding corporations to hold more tn an 50 per cent of the plant in any Hae of manufacture is made without rN
 gard to the possibility of enforcement or the real evil in trusts. A corpora tion controlling 45 or 50 per cent of the products may by well known meth ods frequently affect monopoly and stamp out competition in any part of the country as completely as if Ii controlled 60 or 70 per cent thereof.

NIMBUS MAKES A
WORLDS RECORD

EMPIRE CITY TRACK. YONKERS, n.
y, August ia new worlds record for
six furlongs for circular tracks was made
at Empire City track yesterday when
Nimbus, carrying 1O9 pounds. won the
first race in Ill 10. The time clips two

Nimbus' performance was not as good
as that of Roseben. for he had considera-

conditions were ideal for record breaking
The start of the six-furlong race was
down a slight hill. and as they swung
into the stretch another gradual grade
was encountered over which it is easy for
good horses to make fast time.
Tom McGrath broke in front and ran
the first furlong In eleven seconds. He
led at the quarter by one and half
lengths in II 4-5 seconds. The third fur
long was covered in 33 % seconds. Here
he began to stop and Nimbus then took
up the running. coming to the half mile
in A. 3-5 seconds. He swung into the
stretch with lead of one and a half
lengths and passed the five furlongs in
81 3-5 and finished out the full distance

COMMENTS ON THE GAME.

Goodbye. st. Louis. You have made
good struggle for the pennant, but the
distance Is too long. You got off we'll
and. being favored with luck. hung on
until the stretch was reached Then you
began to back up. as 1t were. and from
present appearances you will be lucky to
finish inside the money. that IL, in the
first division. Had the race been six
furlong affair the Browns would have had
chance but q mile is little too long
for them. Manager McAleer Is deserving
of the greatest sympathy. as ne has GER
tainly made good with an outfit that
should have been in the second division
all season. From the way the Browns
played yesterday they will win about four
games Of the eleven they are to play
with Detroit. From now on 1t looks like
a cakewalk for the Tigers.
Will some kind Ian" tell an anxious
reader why George Stone did not come
home from third on Hartzell's hit in the
first inning? 1t looked like bad base ball,
