"rurus or tn. Tap,

The true remedy against our trusts
is to seek out the cause OF a trust
and to remove that cause. This Is
a perfectly simple and natural rem
edy, and lies close at hand. 1t ap-
plies to public matters the same rule
of wisdom which men apply to their
own affairs as to health, business,
and every private transaction in
the world. If typhoid fever or some
other epidemic is sweeping over your
community and you find that it re-
suits from sewerage or some other
physical cause, you will remove the
cause and not rely solely upon the
skill and remedies of medical prae-
tioners. Some visitors who were

About ParIes.

Have you ever thought OF the fact
tina. all the panics this country ev-
er had since the civil war have been
under Republican Administration?
1879, 1899, 1907 Republican polite
ians refer 10 the 1882 panic as the
cleveland panic, but intelligent peo-
: pie are not fooled by It. They know
that the great homestead strike,
which marked the breaking Of all
the fury Of the storm. occurred July
2, 1892. four months before Cleyelands
election and eight months before his
Inauguration. Mr. Cleveland did the
greatest service ever rendered this
county in guiding II safely and wisely
through the depression caused by
the workings Of the high tariff
laws.
Again we are suffering from the
same cause. II Is like a man get
ting over a big drunk. The tariff
stimulates one class OF business TO
an abnormal extent, with the result
that oyer-producion and stagnation
follows. The drunkard feels good
and gets along hlloriously for a
While, believing that he is having a
fine time and hoping that this con-
dltIon will continue indefinitely;
but his system will not stand 1t, a
collapse comes, and he suffers long
and horribly IN getting back into
normal condition. Just 80 with the
business OF the country when 1t

as certain to come as the earth is to

b. the protection afforded by the
tariff and they play an important
part in demoralizing natural condi-

Of the strongest and most beautiful
arguments ever published in sup
port OF the Christian religion and
the immortality OF the soul. For
several years he has been deliv-
ering II as lecture at ChautluGua

In public life. Nobody OF intelligence

The Tariff.

After all, the high tariff is the
cause of the most serious troubles
we are having. II is also certainly
very unjust to the masses Of our
people. We have only to consider
the fact tat manufactures ship vast
quantities OF their products to for
eIgn countries, pay the freights, and
compete with the world In prices
All they sell in this country, how
ever, is sold at very much higher
than the identical products ship
ned abroad. Take watch movements
for instance. A dealer in New York
has been going to London and bring
Ing large quantities of Elgin and
Waltham watches and shipping them
buck to New York. These wach
movements are all made in this coun-
try, but are sold 30 much cheaper
10 foreign dealers than to home
dealers that it is possible to pay
freights and tariff and get the goods
back cheaper than the manufacturers
will sell them dlret here Is 1t right
to have laws that make It possible
TO rob home consumers in this
manner? The same is true OF al
most every other manufactured ar
ticle-but not Of any farmers pro-
ducts. In the purchaser of steel
rails for railroads buyer finds that
the manufacturer has two prices on
the same product-s2S per ton for
home consumers and about SIS
Der ton for export. Attempts have
been made by the home people 70

Champ Clark.

In the course Of a great speech
made at Louisville last week. Hon.
Champ Clark, Of Missouri, had this
to say of the tariff and the Repub-
lican panic; 49,. :...... .....
What does the Republican plat
form say on the tariff this year,
Wonders will neevr cease, for it says
that they will revise the tariff. II
Republican had said that four years
ago he would have been read out
of the party. ..... ...
What said they four years ago?
They boldly declared that "A Demo-
cratic tariff is followed by business
adversely; Republican tariff by
buslness"-the biggest lie printed sine

Why didn't they put 1t In their plat
form this year? II II was true four
years ago 1t is true now Truth does
not change in four years. 1t is
eternal In its nature; universal in
It's application. 1t was false in
1904 and 1t is false now, but that
did not deter them from putting 1t
into their platform. The thing that
prevented a repetition Of that mon
strous fable was the fact that after
eleven years Of Republican high tar.

books of any civilized country there
came a panic last October which
made mems teeth rattle from sea

they knew full well that II they re-
peated the stupendous canard Of
