DARE NOT TOUCH THE TARIFF.

OF course there will be no tariff leg
islatiOn this Congress. None, We are
told on high authority, until after the
Presidential election. and none then
for reasons too numerous to mention
Toe tariff is sacred thing, too sacred
to be touched during political cam
paign. With the hands of the public
daubed as they get during such pc
riOd, in political filth, it would be sac
rilige to lay them on so pure and fair
flower as the tar Fl, lest they soil it..
This means that the tariff will never
be revised until the Democrats or a
combination of elements which see
that the tariff is a robber combine and
lay violent hands on it. When VIM.
L. Douglas was running for governor
of Massachusetts a few years ago, be
being shoe manufacturer, said: II
make these shoes at So SO per pair. II
you will take the tariff off leather 1
will make them for $500 per pair. ="
There are 80 millions people In the
United States. Possibly all of them
wear shoes. Mr.. Douglas showed them
how they could save so cents per pair
on this one single article of wear, or
40 millions year. This was about six
yeals ago. Had Congress acted on this
advice the people of the United States
would have saved $40 millions of dol
lars on shoes alone hince then. 1t
must be remembered that nearly every
other article is similarly high priced
because of the tariff, except what the
farmer raises. The tariff never was
known to help him. In one instance
he was told that be got more for bis
wool with tariff on it, than be would
have done without tariff on it. This
is proven false now, for it now trans
pires that body of gentlemen in Bos-
ton fix the price of wool, just as body
of gentlemen in Chicago fix the price
of beef, and wheat. and corn, every
day. and the farmer can take their
prices or let his stuff rot on his hands.
The tariff laws are made and retained
on our statute books for the trusts.
Tariff made the trusts, and
they have kept it in tact. This
is seen when we recall that no
product even in our newly acquired
possessions of Porto Rico or the Phil
ippines, is allowed to be shipped into
the United States without the pay
ment of heavy tariff duties. As all
the products of those countries ale
controlled by trusts this iniquity
against those poor people is an out.
rage in the sight of tod and man.
Virginia has two Senators and nine
Democratic Congressman and not one
has opened his mouth on this subject
in many moons. in fact not for so long
that the memory OF man runneth not
to the contrary. If they want tariff
revision nobody has heard them say so
of late.

DIR. w. H. Gilkerson. the dentist of

$500 which constituted Sunday

Kidney trouDIe.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
overworking in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
1t used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect Of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-ROOt, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases

Idaho, butnone oft stands taller
and straighter and is sounder in

ability by the successful manner
in which he has managed affairs

campaigns. He is a successful
man, with large and varied inter

and enterprise. Few men in the
state command the respect and

as does James H. Brady, and few
men have the material interests

commonwealth more at heart.
but, Oh MY, now the harples OF
the opposition parties will hop
onto himl Not only because he
is a successful business man, with
brains to originate and accom-
plish, but because he has done SO
much for the dominant party OF
his state. Nugget takes pleasure
in announcing that it is with and

mailing list a number of names of
old friends who have failed to keep
paid up. In fact, it has not re-
quested them to pay. By late
ruling ofthe Post Office Department
affecting the mailing Of second class
mail matter, all weekly newspapers
are required to have their subscrip-
tons paid up within one year, or
not be counted as legitimate sub
scribers, and such newspapers must
be prepaid by stamps affixed. AS
the publisher does not feel justified
in continuing his list of compli-
mentaries and paying first class
postage on same, several parties
who have been receiving the paper
will hereafter be struck from the
list.

TWO BIRTHDAYS.

One hundred and seventy-six
years ago Tomorrow February
22) there was born in Virginia a
child who grew to be the most
distinguished citizen of ourc oun-
try. He was the great general
OF the Revolutionary War, the
first president of the United
States, and his name is revered
by every civilized nation on the
earth. He is called "The Father
Of his Country" everywhere. 1t
would be superfuous to mention
his name, except that all like to
look upon it,

February also records the birth
of another American no less
worthy of the most distinguished
consideration,

BILE surroundings, in Kentucky,
February u, 1909. Removed
to Indiana with his parents when
a child as well as later in Illinois,
he entered the privations of a
back woodman's life, yet with a
heart and mind of which there
were none greater, helived to be-
come the first president of the
United States elected by the re-
publican party, and held the po-
sition through all the throes of
the greatest civil war the world
has ever known, to become the
martyr OF an assassin shortly
after the ending.

and makeup of his disposition

time, wrote state papers, since

Big Case Must be Tried Over
Again.

A recent dispatch from Chic
ago says: BY the unanimous opin-
ion of the United States Court of
Appeals few days ago for the
Seventh District the famous case
of the government against the
Standard Oil Company. in which
the latter was filed $50, 240. 600 by
Judge Lands, in the District
Court, must be retired.
The Court of Appeals differs
with the trial court on three
vital points, holding that Judge
Lands excluded evidence for the
Standard Oil Company of Indi
ana, which should have been ad-
mitted 20 show proper intent in
the rate that the company paid
on oil; that he erred i'll consider
ing each car lot a separate of
Tense, and in imposing the maxi
mum fiue for a first otfense. he
abused the discretion vested in
his court. 1t is strange doc
trine, says :he opinion, where
under million dollar corporation,
such as tho defendant-the Stand
ard Oil Company, OF Indiana
may be fined twenty-nine times
the amount OF its capital stock in
order to punish defendant not
even under Indictment. By this
latter Is meant the present com
pany, the Standard Oil Company,
of New Jersey.
This opinion, concurred in by
Judges Baker and Seaman, was
delivered recently by Judge
Grosscup, who delivered the opin
ion. The concluding sentence of
the opinion reads:
"The judgment of the District
Court is reversed aud the case
remanded, with instructions to
grant new trial and proceed
further in accordance with this
opinion"
