this is his story.
For years | was coffee drinker

broken down, my hands trembled so I

Besides, how could I safely per-

using knives and instruments of pre-

effects of coffee, l decided to stop it,
and three years ago l prepared some
Postum, of which I had received
sample.
'The first cupful surprised me. It
was mild. soothing, delicious. At this
time gave some Postum to a friend
who was in a similar condition to
mine, from the use of coffee.
"a few days after, 1 met him and
he was full of praise for Postum, de-

CHANGE MUST COME
TARIFF REFORM NECESSARY FOR
BUSINESS REVIVAL.
Demands Made by Leading Manufac
turers Put Republican Party Lead
ers in Hole-Time for Voters
TO Assert Themselves.

A great many Republican manufac-
turers, not in a cor. bine or trust, have
at last discovered that they cannot
increase production and find a market
until the tariff IS revised. AS long as
the home market absorbed all they
could produce they were satisfied to
have raw materials and foreign made
products taxed by a high tariff, but
now the Republican panic having re-
duced consumption, and having a
surplus to sell, they must either re
duce their output or seek foreign
markets for their surplus. To cheaper
their products they must have free
raw materials, and that is what some
are demanding, and then they are con
fronted with the dilemma that the tar
if generally must be reduced, so that
the cost of living may be decreased
and wages thus be reduced without in
jury to their workmen employed.
Gov. Douglas of Massachusetts, the
great boot and shoe manufacturer has
for years been telling his brother man
ufacturers that present conditions
were approaching and advising them
and the people Of Massachusetts to
demand tariff to save the industries
OF that state. A majority of the boot
and shoe manufacturers of New Eng
land have joined with him in that de-
maid,
The meeting in Washington Of rep
reSentativeS of the Manufacturers as
sOciatiOn and other bodies, notably the
National Grange, and their demand
upon the president and speaker
for the passage of abe bill for a tar
if commission, is a good sign that
tariff reformers can well be pleased
with, although no immediate advan-
tage will be gained, for the Republic
an leaders will not allow the bill to
pass But the movement advertises
the fact, long since claimed by Demo
Gratis, that the protective tariff was
bound to fall of it's own weight, and
that manufacturers who use raw mate
rials OF foreign origin would be COM
PEELED to have such free Of tariff
duty or they could not compete with
foreigners in foreign markets.
That time has now come. The
breakdown of the financial and eco
nOmiC policies of the Republican party
has produced business depression. and
the first people to suffer are the manu-
facturers and their workmen. The
most ordinary business sense would
seem to demand forthwith such
amendment of the tariff law as would
give our manufacturers the free raw
materials they need, even if other
people were not Immediately relieved
from excessive tariff taxes.
But the managing Republican poll
ticianS in congress are in a blue funk
and are afraid that any discussion of
the tariff would add to- their misery.
Even President Roosevelt fears to
recommend tariff reform, for it is said
he has entered into an unhOly alliance
with the standpatters, who have made
him believe that tariff discussion
would further depress business and
lead to the defeat of the Republican
party.
So the Republican politicians stand
pat and allow the people to continue
to be plundered, and not a Republican
congressman rebels against the pro-
gram. Is it not time to turn the ras-
Gals out"

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
Tho Whole Country Is Leaning on
the Farmer.

There are, according to the reports
to the railroads, 100000 cars and hun
dreds of engines idle, whereas year
ago there were not enough to carry
the freight offered. Such an enormous
shrinkage of business on the railroads
is a pretty good barometer of business
depression elsewhere. Another indi.
cation of business stagnation is the
iron trade, which only produced lit.
tie over 100000 tons of pig iron
in January compared with 2,3O0,-
900 tons in October. But as a
trust controls the iron industry it is no
longer as reliable a trade barometer
as it used to be. The steel trust, in
spite of the falling off in the demand
for its products, has determined to
maintain prices. Before the 'Ocganiza
ton of the steel ssust the price of iron
and steel was gauged by supply and
demand, and in times of business dis
treSS the price of steel products fol
lowed closely the price of other com
modities.
ImportatiOns of merchandise al New
York have dropped II per cent. in
January as compared with December
There is also curtailment OF prOduc-
tion in nearly all industries of from 20
to % per cent, and declines in values
of 10 to 20 per cent in many manu-
factured products. Economy is preva-
lent and many workmen are Out of a
job.
These are not pleasing facts, but it
is no use to conceal them in looking
forward to what will come.
The managers of the great trusts
are all Republicans; they have been
fostered by Republican tariff legisla-
ton and they desire to keep the Re-
publican party in power. To reduce
the price of their products they would
have to lower wages, and that just be-
fore national election would be like
ly to lead to disaster to the party
which protects them. They, therefore,
prefer to run their furnaces on half
or one-third time than to increase
their output and reduce prices and
wages. They hope to control their
workmen by keeping them on half
time better than by more work and
reduced pay.
There is one redeeming feature that
appears to Offset these discOuraging
facts. The price of farm products con-
tinues fairly remunerative, so that
whereas there is much poverty in the
cities there is plenty on the farms,
1t is appalling to think of what cOndi-
tions would now be if there had been
a crop failure the past year of any of
the leading agricultural products.
The whole country is now leaning on
the farmers and those who look ahead
for signs of the times are fixing their
gaze on what the promise of the next
crops will be, both here and abroad.
for good or bad crops will decide the
business future of the country for the
next year at least.
Meanwhile, the trusts and other
tariff-protected interests are bleeding
the farmers at every pore, for no one
else can afford to buy trust products
in any quantity on account of high
trust prices. If the present Repub-
lican congress had revised the tariff
so that the protected mOnOpolists
would feel the competition from
abroad, the farmers, at least, would be
saving millions a month which is now
absorbed by the trusts. If you want
to know what is going to happen keep
your eyes fixed on the weather man
and the farmers.

POLICE STATISTICS
SHOW MORE WORK ON
MUCH LESS MONEY
Arrests Increase 70 Per Cent Convictions Increase
SO Per Cent, Fines so Per Cent---Expense
Decreases 20 Per Cent.

The report of Sheriff Iaukea on the
| work of the police department during
the past year is an admirable sum
ming up of the great amount of good
work accomplished, and accomplished
at double saving to the county
first, in the greatly lessened running
expense of the department, and, Sec
ondly, in the greater county realiza-
tions through it's share of the fines and
costs imposed. This year it required
of public money $21,634 less to make
rs per cent. more arrests and secure
1890 more convictions than in 1905,
while the fines and costs increased so
per cent, over the year before.
The report, emitting the lengthy de-
tailed schedules. was as follows:
ARRESTS AND CONVICTIONS,
Exclusive of arrests in transit and
cases handed over to the Federal au-
thorities, the total number of criminal
arrests for the year 1907 was 1870, as
S91, or 26 per cent. The total number
of convictions was 1888, as compared
with 229S for the previous year, gain
of 1890, or nearly SO per cent. in
crease.
The most prevalent offenses are
gambling, drunkenness, assault and
battery, vagrancy, larceny second de-
gree, and disturbing quiet of the
night. They constitute 81 per cent. of
the total convictions for the year.
FINES AND COSTS.
The cash penalties imposed on per-
sons convicted during the year aggre-
gated $23, 7S5.1O whilst for 1906 the
amounts was s16,OS2.6O. a gain of ST.

JUVENILE OFFENDERS.

The total number of juveniles ar
rested was 209, as against ITO for 1906,
an increase of 80, or 80 per cent. OF
the 2O9 arrests, Is were discharged, So
committed to industrial schools, and
100 admitted to probation. Hawaiians
and Portuguese constitute the chief
delinquents. OF sexes, 1872 were boys
and % girls. Larceny, truancy, gam
bling, leading idle life, assault and
battery form the chief offenses.
AS cases of this nature increase, the
need of a separate place for the de-
tention of juvenile offenders when
under arrest and awaiting trial is be-
coming more and more apparent. For
young children, especially girls, to be
forced into the company of older and
hardened criminals, seems an outrage,
and steps ought to be taken to pro-
vide some place, other than the COM
mon lookup, where the young can be
detained, and not be thrown in the
company of thieves and drunkards, as
