A TERRIBLE PICTURE.

The president paints a terrible picture of the demoralizing infu- ence of ill-gotten wealth. He pictures the multi-millioniare who has grown rich by immoral means as the least admirable of all our citizens, a man of whom it has been well said, that his face has grown hard and cruel, while his body has grown soft; whose son is a fool and whose daughter a foreign princess; whose nomi- nal pleasures are at best those of a tasteless and eXtravagant lux ury, and whose real delight, whose real life work is the ac- emulation and use of power in its most sordid and least elevat- ing form. "
 And who is this man whom the president pictures? He is the beneficiary of privilege, the child Of fayoritism in government. And how does he secure privilege and favoritiSm? By contributing cam paign funds to the party which will sell him the right to exploit the country. Which party has been doing this? The republican party whose leaders are now conspiring to prevent any relned- ial legislation. These same in- hUenccs are seeking to dominate the democratic party but they find the democratic masses in- corrupuble and therefore their effort is frustrated. Bryan's Commoner.

Second, he is in the prime of

fend the principles of the Demo
cratic party and to explain and
simplify the science and practice
of farming.
Third, he is a man of large leg
islative experience, having served
in both branches of our General
Assembly and having been
chairman of the committee on
agriculture in the House at the
last session of the Legislature.
Fourth, he is now and has al
ways been in thorough accord
with all the moral movements in

The largest county in area, the
largest cotton-producing county
aud among the largest corn-pTo
ducing counties, the first in value
of farm products, among the
bravest in the battles in the cause

earnest hope and belief that h
will be nominated.

No man in recent years has been
more successful in restoring human
health than l.. T. Cooper. During his
stay in Chicago, and while he was
meeting thousands of people daily, he
gave the following reason for the re-
markable demand for his medicine to
a reporter:
Mr.. Cooper said: my New Discov-
cry is successful because it correets
the stomach. My theory is that few
can be sick If the digestive apparatus
is working properly. 1t naturally fol-
lows that few can be we'll with a poor
digestion.
II know from experience that most
of the tired, half-sick people that are
so common nowadays have half-sick
stomachs. Put the stomach in shape,
and nature does the rest. The result
is general good health. My medicine
does this. That is why fifty thousand
people here in Chicago are using it
who never heard of me until month
ago."
Among the fifty thousand mentioned
by Mr.. Cooper who used his medicine
in Chicago is Mrs. Hilda Pfiueger, liv
ing at 1903 Ainslie Avenue. This is
the statement she makes concerning
her experience with the medicine:
Il have been sick for six years will
