next house shall be Republican, there
will be Witnessed a period of unpre-
cedented prosperity all over the Unit
ed States
Ii. on the other hand, Bryan should
win or the house should go Demo-
cratic. the whole commercial and in
dustral world would be thrown into
a state of CONSERVATION and disrup-
ton, and there would be inevitable
distress among the wage earners and
men of small capital engaged III
business. and even the heavier capi-
talists would be seriously embarrassed
and prevented from promoting or de-
veloping enterprises of every char
acter.
Penrose On This Issue.
Senator Penrose, in discussing the
political situation a few days ago
among other things said:
"a protective tariff is essential to
American prosperity. The Republican
party has always been pledged to the
principle The Democratic party has
almost invariably leaned towards free
trade. Panic and financial disaster
have generally attended Democratic
legislation upon the tariff Immediate
and extraordinary prosperity has al
ways accompanies tariff legislation by
the Republican party. II the present
tariff. which has been in existence for
ten years. period longer than has
marked the existence Of any previous
tariff law, is TO be revised. 1t would
seem evident that such revision should
be made by the party which has con-
sistently favored the protective princi
promptly as possible and with as lit
tie disturbance to business conditions
as possible.
Already committees of the house
and senate are at work on the subject
and it is hoped that the revision is
being largely discounted in manufact-
uring and business circles. On the
other hand, revision by the Demo.
cratic party must inevitably mean rev.
olution and disaster The Democratic
platform declares in favor of imme-
diate revision Of the tariff by the re-
duction of import duties and generally
states that gradual reductions should
be made in such schedules as may be
necessary to restore the tariff to a
revenue basis. This practically
amounts to a declaration in favor of
free trade.
"On the other hand the Republican
party declares unequivocally for a re-
vision of the tariff by special session
of congress Immediately following the
inauguration of the next president and
aftirms emphatically that in all tariff
legislation the true principle of pro-
lection is best maintained by the i'm
position OF such duties as will equal
the difference between the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad. together
with reasonable profit to American
industries
The Democratic party utterly ig
nores any reference to the welfare of
American labor, while the Republican
party in its platform specifically de-
clares that its aim and purpose is not
only TO preserve security against for
eien competition, to which American
manufacturers farmers and producers
are entitled. but also to maintain the
high standard of living of the wage
earners of this country, who are the
most direct beneticiaries of the pro-
tective system"

Philadelphia, Sept. 22

Philadelphia, Sept. u.
PENNSYLVANIA Republicans have been
called upon by the national leaders
of the party to put forth most strenu
Gus efforts to carry every close con
gressional district al the coming cleo
tiOn.
The Democrats are making Il great
canvass to carry the next house. and
it behooves Republicans everywhere,
according to reports received at the
national committee headquarters in
New York, to get to work to line up
their voters for the party's nominees
for national representatives.
No one doubts that Pennsylvania
will roll up a big majority for Taft
and Sherman. but unless there shall
be close attention paid to perfecting
the party organization and eulisting
the rank aud file OF the voters for the
congressional candidates III several OF
the districts there may be a falling on
in the Republican representation from
this state at Washington.
Pennsylvania has too much at stake
10 allow this to happen.
Her vast industrial and farming in.
terasts. which have thriven so well
under Republican rule, must be pro
tected, and there is no better way to
insure IA continuance of the Republi-
can party's fostering policy than to
elect Republicans to congress.
A Power In Congress.
Pennsylvania. with the largest Re-
publican delegation of any state in the
Union on the floor OF congress, has for
many years welded potential iHfiu-
cnce in shaping national legislation
and in blocking the games of men
who have nothing in common with
the wage earners. the farm owners,
the manufacturers and business men
OF the Keystone state.
Men who seek TO promote the cause
OF the importers and others concerned
in getting into this country at as chea p
rate as possible the products of for.
eign nations, of their mills. their fac
tories and their farms, are heavy con
tributors to the Democratic campaign
funds, especially to the treasury OF
the Democratic congressional cam
paisH committee.

COL LUMBUS PARKS WALKS
 OVERBOkRD IN SLEEP

Mobile July is--ACspecial.) .)-with the discovery of .r5the dead body of Columbus A Parks, on the beach at Zundels' whart oA the Eastern Shore of the bay this morning. the mystery connected with his disappear ance sometime between midnight and daybreak yesterday morning. has been cleared up. sGn
 Parks was a resident of this city. and during the summer months worked as a deck hand on the steamer Pleas" ure Bay. Yesterday morning! he failed to report at his post. After waiting for him for five minutes. the captain came on to this city, where later in the day he telephoned to Mrs. Parks to find out whether her husband was at home. He was assured that he was not, and immediately a search began for him.
 Parks, it appears, slept on the for ward part of the deck on the night before he was lost sight of. His wife states that after he had lost sleep for a number of nights, 1t was not an in- freauent thing for him to arise in his sleep and walk about. This. it Is now thought, Is what the unfortunate man did, and. In doing so, walked over board.
 This morning the searchers came across his body on the beach, clad only in underwear. The body was removed to the little cottage where with his wife and little child. they had been living during the summer.

MILITARY Is READY
MOBILE TROOPS MAY GO TO BIRM-
 rNGHAM.
Trouble Among the Union Miners FRS Changed Plans of the Chicaman-
 ga Trip--ColoneI duMont Awaiting Orders.

Mobile. July IS (specfal).-
 Military men of this city. especially the commissioned officers. have been on
 the qui vive all day long.
 Some of them had planned to spend tomorrow across the bay, and for this pupose had intended leaving on the aft ernoon boats, today. Because of the situation in Birmingham, because there
 was a probability that they and their commands might be called upon for active duty at any moment, they can ceIIed their arrangements for tomor-
 row. It is generally understood that
 Colonel Robert B. duMont received m structions from Montgomery this morn
 ing but the Colonel declines to say anything about 1t. It is known that he aid not retire until late hour last
 night, and that he was at his ofiice at
 an unusually early hour this morning. If Is also known that he has had a number of consultations with his offi- eers. and that some of the plans that were going forward for the Chicka-
 mauea encampment have been suddenly terminated
 These here, who are high up In mii- itary circles, say that if Governor Co.,
 
 of infantry in the State instead of sending 1t to the School of Practice the regiment selected for this duty will be the one commanded by Colonel duAGont. If their deductions prove to be correct, there will be a number of men who have just enlisted who will suffer a great disappointment. It is well known that the indueement that many of these had to enlist was the ax~aofad fri4,s fo sCshfckannauga. and a possibility of active duty at Birming- l ham is not as pleasing to them. On. the other hand the commands are in ,ex- cellent shape for moving at a moments notice and most of the companies of | the 1st Regiment would go out from sixty to seventy men strong.
 It was learned this evening that the l Mobile and Ohio Railroad acting under | orders from Montgomery has been in readiness since early this morning to rush the Mobile battalion to Birming- ham if nAeasS9ry.

Dropped Coffee
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Foatum.

A physician of wash, D. C.. says of his coffee experience:
 For years suffered with periodical headaches which grew more frequent until they became almost constant. So severe were they that sometimes was almost frantic. I was sallow, consti pAted, irritable, sleepless; my memory was poor, I trembled and my thoughts were often confused.
 My wife, in her wisdom. believed coffee was responsible for these Ills and urged me to drop 1t. tried many times to do so. but was its slave.
 Finally Wife bought a package of Postum and persuaded me to-try it. but she made 1t same as ordinary coffee and l was disgusted with the taste. q make this emphatic because I fear rience.) She was distressed at her failure and we carefully read the d. rections, made 1t right. boiled 1t full Is minutes after boiling commenced, and with good cream and sugar, liked it ,--it inyigorated and seemed to nourish me.
 That was about q year ago. Now sleeplessness and irrltability are gone, my brain clear and my hand steady. have gained 20 lbs. and feel I am a new man.
 T do not hesitate to give Postum due credit. Of course dropping coffee was the main thing, but I had dropped 1t before, using chocolate, cocoa and other things to no purpose.
 "Postum not only seemed to act as an inWgorant, but as an article of nourishment, giving me the needed ph osphates and albumens. This fs no imaginary tale. It can be substantl- ated by my wife and her sister, who both changed to Postum and are hearty women Of about TO.
 T write this for the information and encouragement of others. and with a feeling of gratitude to the inventor of Postum"
