No More Dosing the Stomach-Cure the
Skin Through the Skin.

1,When you have a scratch on your
hand you wash it out and cleanse it
and then the skin cures itself. You
do not take blood medicine to cure a
festered wound.
The best skin specialists today are
agreed that the only way to cure the
skin is through the skin
The fact that eczema is skin dis
ease and not a blood disease is evident
from statistics which show that nearly
all eczema sufferers are perfectly
healthy in all other ways except as to
their skin. Ii the eczema patients
were really suffering from an inward
malady, the entire body and not only
the skin would be diseased.
You can prove Immediately the re-
lief of a true skin cure by using oil of
wintergreen as compounded in ID. d.
ID. Prescription.
This liquid attacks the disease
germs, numbing them while building
up the healthy tissue of the skin. We
have now handled this meritorious
and thoroughly scientific remedy for
so long and have seen it's reliable re-
suit so many times that we freely ex-
press our confidence. Brunt q Par
man.

Can't pisaffect the Farmers.

The failure of Bryan's desperate at
tempts TO curry favor with the farmers
is illustrated by the manner In which
he was received at Crookston, MINI.
According TO Congressman Halvor Stew
enson the event went OFF as follows:
organs speech at Crookston was
great disappointment. He actually lost
ground there for Democracy. Thous-
ands of people were there to hear him,
and waited till ten o'clock In the even
ing before he appeared. The address
was narrow appeal to farmers.
harangue, trying to prejudice them
against Republicanism. 1t didn't take
at all. Only once was there the slight
est symptom of applause. He spoke TO
a silent, disappointed audience"

ENEMY OF TARIFF.
Labor World Sees Danger in Bryan
Plan of Tariff for Revenue Only.
Ill.,. IL. L =. L.. N-orld \
(From the Labor World.)

(From the Labor World.)
Workingmen and producers generally
should not delude themselves with the
belief that, If Mr.. Bryan shall be elect
ed President, his plans for revision of
the tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr. Bryan is the professed
enemy Of the tariff system. He would
impose duties, if at all, for revenue
purposes only. On articles competing
with what he chooses to call trustmade
goods he would have no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit in import duties
arising from revised schedules he esti-
mates would be more than made up by
increased imports. OF course, his hope
is TO strike at the great protection
States, which happen to be Republican
in politics, like Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, West Vir
ginia, etc 1t does not seem to matter
TO him that every dollars worth OF for
eign goods i'm the competitive class com
ing into the United States on revenue
or free trade basis necessarily by so
much reduces the demand for home
goods thus disr.i-,~trs JuDr
American labor What he wants 10 do
is to rebuke and avenge himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agree woth him in politics and who will
have none of him at the polls. says an
exchange.
But while Mr.. Bryan is cunning for
protected Industries and Republican
States, once his proposed tariff law
should be In force II would fall alike
upon all sections Of the country, the
only differences between one State and
another being in the degree Of hardship
imposed. sa A..sa.s; ysSySs =.
We hear of workingmen saying that
this time they intend to vote for Mr..
Bryan, because for the past ten months
we have had hard times. But what
good will that do? How is a tariff for
revenue, ignoring the protection idea
altogether, going to open the shops and
mills? How will the election Of Sena-
tors by direct vote start the wheels OF
industry? Or the publication of cam
paign contributions? Or the further
harassment of the railroads? Or the
reorganization Of the House, so that
the Speaker may be powerless? Why
open this country now to the markets
of the world when we have not suffi-
cient demand TO consume what we our
selves manufacture? Under Republi-
can rule we have just had ten years of
unparalleled prosperity. Under Dem
ocratic administrations we have never
had prosperity for any period, long or
short.

BOUTELL ON BRYAN.
Is His "Shall the People Ruler"
Simply "a Local Issuep"

olmply "a Local lSSueE
Congressman Henry Sherman Bou-
tell OF Chicago, commenting on Mr.
Bryan's speech in Iowa, says:
Mr.. Bryan's question, Shall the peo
pie rule?" implies that somewhere in
this country the people do not rule.
The only States where the people do
not rule are the States that are ex-
pected TO give overwhelming majorities
for the Democratic ticket. Perhaps
Nr. Bryan thinks that his question is
purely "a local issue" If he is sim
cere. challenge him to make a speech
in Vicksburg, Miss, on Government

his famous anti-imperialist speeches,
simply changing three words, substitute
ing mississippi for philippines" and

Let him suggest that we have as chair
man Of his meeting John Sharp Will
iams, leader of the Democrats In Con-
gress. and as vice-chairmen the other
members OF the Congressional delega-
ton from Mississippi.
And after he has made his speech

the rule Of the people In that COM
munity, dare Mr.. Bryan to repeat
mis- grafton ON popular government in
Charleston, s. c., with Senator Till
man as chairman Of his meeting. Mr..
Bryan's sentiments have purely geo
graphical sincerity. His epigrams and
startling conundrums are especially de-
signed to meet local demands. or this
nature are all his views on tariff and
taxation.
Mr.. Bryans proposition that every
time q trust Ii formed a tariff SEIZED
ule should be repealed. and every time
trust Is dissolved new duty should
be added. is too funny even for comic
opera.
If on March 4 next Mr.. Bryan should
become President, with a Democratic
Congress in both houses, and should
actually place upon the statute books
the financial and economic vagaries de-
livered by him in his speech OF last
Friday, 1t would plunge the nation into
bankruptcy and bring on industrial
chaos. II he should begin by repeating
the duty on sugar to punish the sugar
trust, he would upset the national
finances by losing $60,00000O year
In revenues. and would stir up revo-
luton in Louisiana, Utah, Colorado
and Michigan. Then, If he should re-
peal the duty on cotton goods because
some hustllng manufacturers of New
England or the CarolnaS were dump
ing goods in China in rivalry with Eng
land and Germany, he would divert
other millions from the treasury and
invite still further Industrial ruin.
But, of course, Mr. Bryan would do
none of these things, any more than
he will invade the solid South and sum-
mon the cohorts OF Democracy 10 the
defence Of the Constitution with the
battle cry shall the People Ruler"
Mr.. Bryan simply does not mean what
he says. What he utters with Chad

ates with Pecksnitfian duplicity In the

Trade Union Labels.

Fourteen Republican States and only
one Democratic State-Nevada- have
laws in force prohibiting employers
from discharging persons on account of
membership in labor organizations. or
from compelling persons TO agree not
TO become members OF labor organiza-
tions as a condition Of securing employ
ment or continuing in their employ.
Forty States have passed laws allowing
trade unions TO adopt labels or trade
marks 10 be used to designate products
of the labor of their members, and pro
hibiting the counterfeiting of the use
of such labels or trade marks by un-
authorized persons. or these States
twenty-eight are Republican and twelve
are Democratic.
The foregoing presents for consdera-
tion by intelligent. patriotic labor sub
stantial. facts and figures taken from
the statute books of the several States.
No platitude can upset them. They
prove the records of the Republican
party and OF the Democracy on the la
Dor issue. and they must convince ev-
cry reasonable reader that the Republi-
can party has not only brought Ameri-
can labor up TO its present honorable
standard, but that labor can look only
TO the Republican party for assurance
of protection and prosperity In the
future.

Curious Migration Of Muskrats.

Naturalists may get some interesting
data in Clear Lake by studying the
movements of the muskrats which just
now are migrating sloughs and ponds
where they have lived for years to
quarters more moist or nearer the
lake. So dense and in such large
numbers have these animals been NOV
ing that trails are left through fields
approach the dignity of cattle paths.
There has been no effort made to
stop the rodents, as most of their mi
grations are at night. The evidences
of their pilgrimages may be noted in
the countless deserted homes that dot
the county west and south of the lake
proper and which extends for miles.
For six or eight years past, the ex-
tensive rain has filled every pond and
slough and generally musk rats have
come to make their home. Hundreds
of them have lived for five years with
in the limit of Clear Lake and within
a stones throw CT the veranda of the
Oaks hotel are many homes. The
great amount of drainage and added
to that the dry weather has drained
these places leaving the homes far
from water. The later part of the
summer has been exceedingly dry and
the rats, true to instinct, must needs
build themselves winter quarters, but
TO do it a move was necessary.
