IL is a simple but sure method of

SKIN Is an enormous gland, richly en-
lowed with nerves, secreting and ex-
GREETING organs, and a network of
minute blood vessels which contain at
one time over one-third of all the
blood In the body-that is, If nature
is perfect.
The relation of the skin to the vital
organs through the nervous system,
in controlling the blood supply, is
such as to put them as team work
ing together. Being in such close re-
lation to the nervous system, it fol-
lows that powerful, rich, nervine
stimulant applied to the skin to be
absorbed as nourishment, will result
in Immediate blood supply and flesh
growth at the parts treated, thus
bringing about the most beautiful
changes and development,

The Government.

Everything in this world that has
consciousness and every party has its
special spirit and soul. The old dem
ocratic party had this tenat: that the
government was to protect it's peo-
pie; that it should keep all men from
iniuring other men. They never look
ed upon a government as a crop, but
as fence around crop and had no
right to do anything except for a pub
lie purpose. The government has no
right to take one nickle from my
pocket and give it to you, but it can
take my life and property for the pub
Tlic support and protection, if it wishes.
Government is an umpire, the less, the
better. 1t must give equal and exact
justice to each man and not permit
anybody to indulge in unequal priv
ileges. s.
What is republicanism? 1t consists
in departing from this and insists that
it is right to take the power of the
government to help individual indus
tries This lead up to the tariff ques.
ton which was discussed by the
speaker at some length. Larceny by
operation OF law, was what he termed
the protective tariff.

World Wide Prosperity.

Going back to the Republican slo-
gan: Republican prosperity and full
dinner pail. The United States never
had such prosperous era as the last
eight years. But had this been due
to Republican legislation, it would be
confined to the United States. Canada
and Argentine outstripped the U. s..
and Germany had great prosperity
wave during the same time. The pros
perity was world wide and was caused
by the great output of gold in the
world.
The days of prosperity and panic
will come and go as long as people
occupy the globe and there is no way
that know OF to stop it. But to put
stop to depositor's panic they must
be made to feel confident.

Williams, Address.

lows: There is one good thing about
the democratic rarty. There is no
precinct SO small as not to have dem
ocrats live in it. 1t is the American
party, the historical party, born with
the Declaration of independence and
will die only with the death of the
republic itself.
1T is the party of the people. 1t
has made mistakes. We must first
quanel among the general welfare.
We must quarrel among ourselves a
good deal to find out justw hat we
want
Who is the republican candidate;
who is the chairman of their commit
tee, and whose panic is it anyway?
! The party has nominated moon
man for president. Taft sheds no
light himself, but reflects it from the
Roosevelt sun. The same sun is chair
! man of the committee also.
On Panics.
For 16 years we have heard that
panics came from democratic admin
istrations and progress and prosperity
/ from the republicans. The panic of
! 1869 painted by the cold muse of his
tory upon the page and the panic of
1878, both came during uninterrupted
republican rule The music painted
| them liars again with the panic of
1877.
Coming down to the panic of $685.
1t occurred before single republi-
can statute had been repealed, or a
/ democratic statute had been adopted.
Stalwart lies are these stories of
panics occurring only under demo-
cratic rule. A man who says this is
either one of two things: fool or a
4 liar. Anticipation of democratic leg
| islation on tariff revision was the
cause of some of these panics it has
been said
We repealed the purchasing clase
of the Sherman bill but it did not
stop the panic for it was world
wide panic. Long afterward the
thought came that it was anticipation
4 of democratic rule. When Mckinley
was elected, the panic was said to
have ceased, but it did not.
! For sixteen years the republican
party has conducted its campaign on
an organized lie.
The republicans take all kinds OF
chances with the people because they
think they are fools. The democrats
do not make wild statements, but tel
the truth and let the people think fol
themselves. Democrats are not conf
PEELED to use falsehoods. Panics viii
come and go as long as the world
moves and there is prosperity ant
business is expanding. Men become
too reckless and careless.

stupendous as this one of the panic
question.
