SaturnaIia of Privilege.

At Washington we have congresses
that spend a billion year, a lingo
craze for war and imperialism, privi-
Iege and protection for selected classes,
the sale of legislation to interests that
contribute privately to campaign
funds and an almost complete failure
to give effect to laws prohibiting mo-
nOpoly, discrimination and fOrcstalling.
Waste and fayoritism at Washing
ton are attended by burdensome taxa
ton, high prices, depression in indus
try and idIeness and hardship among
the millions who have no share in the
discriminating plutOcratic prosperity
Of which we hear so much. Prodigacy
and privilege for the few go hand in
hand, now as always, with poverty
and suffering for the many.
Practically every wise remedy pro-
posed, such as economy, peace, tariff
reform, graduated income and inherit
ance taxes, publicity of campaign ex-
penditures and the destruction Of priv
ilege, monopoly and Imperialism would
lead unerringly to one end-Cheaper
living and true prosperity,-New York

Not = "GoodU Trust.

The International Paper company,
the trust which saved it's tariff bacon
last spring by promising congress to
be a good trust, has proved to be a
dad" and untruthful trust 1t repre-
scented that it had got through boost
ing prices and 1t really must have tar
if protection in order to pay it's high
scale of wages. Yet it recently re-
duced wages 10 per cent and caused
its employees 10 go on a strike. But
the trust will not bearthe loss of shut
ting down its mills. 1t coolly adds
another 10 cents per hundred to the
price of paper and loads its troubles
on to the newspapers. The editors,
we believe, in spite OF all the shouting
which many Of them have done for
protection, are not themselves pro
tected."

CAN WORK NO MIRACLE.
Prosperity Boomers Excite Oerision In
Minds Of Thinking People.

Minds Of Thinking People.
The following editorial from the New
York Evening Post is a telling COM
bringing prosperity, now being worked
to full capacity, especially by those
who fear the effect of hard times on
stand pat policies:
"Since the time that the prophets Of
Baal took a bullock and placed it on
the altar and called upon the name of
their god from morning until night
and cried aloud and cut themselves
after their manner with knives and
lancets till the blood gushed out upon
them there has been no exhibition in
modern times upon 4 large scale of Il
belief in incarnation comparable to the
approaching interstate prosperity con-
gress. This organized commercial
faith cure is to be let loose upon us at
the close of this week
''NO one who knows the true psy-
Geological character of the gradual
growth Of mutual confidence, its liza
bility to sudden chiIls and its long pc
riOds of suspended animation will ever
take stock in its galvanic revival even
by the combined attempts of two or
ganized bodies of commercial travel
ers. Prosperity is a maiden both shy
and coy, not to be caught by the tom
tom and the sackbut and the bass
drum. He does more to cajole her into
reappearing who quietly saws wood
and waits than her frenzied worship
ers who think that crazy snake dance
will lure her back"

Fire DESTROYS Property.

Dodgeville Chronicle: The thresh-
ing machine belonging to Nathan
Smith of the town of Dodgeville and
five stacks of unthreshed grain on the
farm CT James Smith in the southeast
corner of the town of Wyoming were
destroyed by fire last Friday.
The crew were at work when one of
the stacks was discovered to be on
fire and in trying to move the separa-
tor to a safe distance it was over
turned and was completely destroyed
together with all the stacks. There
was no insurance on the separator
and only $50 on the grains. The fire
is supposed to have started from a
spark from the engine.

A Pleasant Surprise.

There was one pleasant surprise for
the M. e. Conference in Ashland last
week at the close of the report of Dis
trict Superintendent Merrifeld. The
Rev. Mr.. Bauchop arose and pre8en-
ted an envelope to Mr.. Merrifeld and
said in the name of the preachers and
people of the Plattevillc district he
wished to express their hearty apprec-
iation of his work and that it was
their desire that he make a visit to his
mother in England, taking all the
time he desired and that in the envel-
ope he handed him would be found the
necessary funds for the trip.

NOT WILLING TO STAND PAT.
The Protected Trusts Look For Re-
vision Upward.

If any friend of tariff revision-for
relief from burdens-was satisfied with
the policy announced at Chicago his
eyes cannot fail to be opened by the
attitude of the ultra protectionist clique
Of the Republican party, The Quin-
tesSence of high tariff opinion is voiced
by the American Economist, the organ
Of the American Protective Tariff
league. Its pages are adorned with
the motto zoos is a stand pat year"
It announces cheerful acceptance of
the unequivOcaI pledge of tariff revi-
sion" and under the headline For
Tariff Reyision-Upward" it says:
Upon the terms and conditions set
forth in the Republican platform the
league stands ready to cooperate with
the movement for revision,
at will take off its coat and work
for revtsion-upward revision in large
number of the existing schedules"
In the same issue the Chicago tariff
plank is hailed as Il notable victory"
for the interests represented by the
Economist Nj Taft is also on record
for revision upward" in some of the
schedules Mr.. Sherman has long been
one of the neutrality-suspicious. ring,
which has throttled revision sentiment
in the house. Republicans who favor
revision downward can find no comfort
either in platform, in candidates or in
the enthusiastic support of the Chicago
brand of revision by the Bourbon pro-
tectionist wing of the party. The
trusts figure that revision by the
friends of tariff means something
better than standing pat 1t means
revision upward, more graft than the
Dingley act gives them. The only hope
of the tariff burdened masses lies in
revision by friends of the consumer.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Mineral Point Citi-
zen Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. In suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it
is with all other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. Tt
cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys, Mineral
Point people testify to permanent
cures.
Geo. Hartley, living on State St. :,
Mineral Point, Wis, says: ~ have
used Doan's Kidney Pills and can
recommend them very highly to any
one suffering from an aching back or
weak kidneys. [ suffered for several
months with severe pains through my
back and kidney regions. The secre-
tions were very irregular in action
and highly colored. Doan's Kidney
Pills, which I procured at Ivey's
Pharmacy, banished the pains, the
kidney secretiOns were restored to
their natural condition and I feel
much better in every way. I am
thankful for the benefits received from
the use of Doan's Kidneys Pills"

A Cinder in the Eve.

If one gets a cinder in the eye and
has not an eye-cup at,the hand to use,
the offending particle may generally
be removed by rolling up a piece of
paper like a lamplighter, wetting the
tip and gently going after the cinder
with it. A medicine dropper, too,
may be used to advantage, if avail
able. Never rub the eye in which the
cinder is; gentle rubbing of the
other toward the nose may start &C
tion in the tear ducts and carry off the
particle-Detroit News.
