 We attack only the corrupt men of wealth, who find in the purchased pol ftician the most efficient instrument of corruption and in the purchased news paper the most efficient defender O.; corruption. Our main quarrel is not with the agents and representatives of the interests They derive their chief power from the great sinister offenders who stand behind them. They are but puppets, and the strong cunning men and the mighty forces working for evil behind and through the puppets, with whom we have to deal. We seek to control law defining wealth; in the first place to prevent it's doing dire evil to the republic, and in the next place to avoid the vindictive and dreadful radicalism which, if left uncontrolled. it is certain in the end 10 arouse. Sweeping attacks upon all property, upon all men of means, without regard to whether they do well or i'll, would sound the death knell of the republic; but such high attacks become inevita- ble if decent citizens permit those high men whose lives are corrupt and evil to domineer in swollen pride, unchecked, unhindered, over the deSrinies of this 5,f s,,y lfaf fft-aa frff and We are no respecters of persons. If a labor union does wrong, we oppose it as firmly as we oppose a corpora ton which does wrong; and we stand equally stoutly for the rights of the man of wealth and for the rights of the wage worker We seek to protect the property of every man who acts hon. estly. of every corporation that repre- sents wealth honestly accumulated and honestly used. We seek to stop wrong doing, and we desire to punish the wrong -doers only so far as is neces- sary to achieve this end.
 The amount of money the repre- sentatives of certain great moneyed in- terests are willing to spend can be gauged by their recent publication broadcast throughout the papers of this country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, of huge advertisements att tacking with envenomed bitterness the administrations policy or warning against successful dishonesty, and by their circulation of pamphlets and books prepared with the same object; while they likewise push the circula- ton of the writings and speeches of men, whether because they are mIsled, or whether because, seeing the light, they yet are waiting to sin against the light, serve their master of great wealth to the cost of the plain people. The books and pamphlets, the news papers, the speeches by public or pri- vate men to which I refer are usually and especially in the interests of the Standard oil trust and of certain mo- torious railroad combinations, but they also defend other individuals and cor porations of great wealth that have been guilty of wrongdoing. It is only rarely that the men responsible for the wrongdoing themselves speak or write. Normally they hire others to do their bidding or find others who will do it without hire. From the railroad

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so successful in relieving the suffering of women or received so many gen. uine testimonials as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 In every community you will find women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound. Almost every one you meet has either been bene- fted by it, or has friends who have.
 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, any wOmanany day may see the files containing over one mil lion one hundred thousand letters from women seeking health, and here are the letters in which they openly state over their own sigma lures that they were cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved many women from surgical operations.
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is made from roots and herbs, without drugs, and is whole some and harmless.
 The reason why Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound is so successful is because it contains in- gradients which act directly upon the feminine organism, restoring it to healthy normal condition.
 Women who are suffering from those distressing ills peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of these facts or doubt the ability of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore their health.
