American manufacturers whose fac

been crippled by reason of the high tariff

with peculiar satisfaction. If by reason
of the high tariff tax provided for in the

labor given employment at remunerative
wages and our "roseate expectations
realized. why should we now, when fac

If the wages of labor depend upon a
high tariff why should any man favor
a reduction of that tariff? If after eleven
years of SURPRISING prosperity brought
about by the Dingley bill business Ian

cite some more ''roseate expectations by

there may be a much needed revival of

o. the severest political struggles in the
history of the country. Just one more
ceremony remains to be performed be-
fore the contending forces take the field
for action. Assembled here today from
| every section of America are representa-
tives of the democracy TO whom has been
delegated the great privilege of rendering
to you, Mr.. Kern. an honor and trust -as
sacred as any political body can offer to
one of its most loyal and distinguished
| members. and that is the democratic NOM
ination for the vice presidency of the
United States. In selecting you for this
high honor the democratic national con-
ventiOn was not unmindful of the fact
that the office of Vice President has SO
gained. in authority and national impor-
lance that he who is chosen for that ex-
allied position must possess every qualifi-
cation. moral and intellectual, that fits a
man to become the chief magistrate of
his people.
Wouldst Accept This Bouquet
These qualifications you were found to
possess in a pre-eminent degree. Your
neighbors told us at Denver that in your
private character you valued the homely
virtues of life far above the tinsel which
SO often eacites the desires and ambi-
tons of men. In your public career as a
legislator in your state your neighbors
recalled that your official acts were al
ways born of an honesty of purpose and
that your constituency, from your point
of view. was limited only by the boun-
daries of your, state.
They also told us that in offering your
self for the governership of Indiana you
had declined to compromise with any
force or influence not in strict harmony
with the highest interests of your peo-
pie. Sand that you preferred to go down
to defeat preserving the integrity OF your
manhood to accepting the glory of office
at the sacrifice of principles which you
deemed essential to the security and well
fare of the commonwealth. This splendid
testimony of your neighbors. whose gols-
en- opinions are the rarest gems that can
adorn the reputation of any man, coupled
with your own pleasing personality and
your comprehensive grasp of problems
that affect the nations life, moved your
democratic brethren as a unit to demand
that you be one of the two men to carry
the democratic standard to glorious and
lasting victory at the November polls

solemn commandments of the political

decalogue;- that it's use to the people has
been utterly destroyed; that the boosted
prosperity upon which the republican
party carried the country four years ago
has rested upon the unWarrantable as
sumption that the bounties of nature and
the demand for American products abroad
have been originated and controlled by
the republican party; that the tarlH Is
fair example of republican policy; that the
taxing Of the many for the beneht of the
few has resulted in an unequal distribu-
ton of wealth. that the cry of conserya-
tism now raised by the republican party
is a counterfeit of the grossest character
and that if, the people accept 1t as pure
gold they will awaken TO find that II has
turned to mere alloy and that the demo-
cratic party is capable OF bringing about
wholesome reforms.
Republican Party's Apology.
Taking the Chicago platform, the I'M
certainty of Taft on great public questions
and the known corporation bias of Sher-
man, together, they constitute the repub-
lican party's official apology for the up
roar that has been created among the
big interests during the last six years.
You will be able to show that Mr. Taft
is attempting to reach the White House
through mirror maze. which is likely to
leave him on November 3 just where he
started on the 18th of June. After read
Ing MT. IaIt 8 letter OF acceptance YOU Will
be able to show that his candidacy is like
one of those new-fangled signs that we
see SO often upon the streets-when you
are approaching it reads one thing and
when you are leaving it spells something
else.
Even those who believed that before
Taft was nominated for the presidency
he was thoroughly dipped In Rooseyeltian
waters, now have lurking suspicion that
somebody held him like Achilles by the
tendon of the heel, so that he might not
prove wholly invulnerable to corporate
assaults, in the event of his election.
Sherman Gets a Rap.

his absolute subserviency to the oligrachy

tives.

BEING uP-To-DATE.
Live Business Men the Ones Who
Make the Greatest Success.

The man in business is out to win
or he wouldn't be in business. There
are many little details that must be
looked after, must be studied and
which are essential to success. Many
merchants, particularly in small
towns, are kept so busy wrapping up
bits of ginghams, weighing out sugar
and doing the hundred and three 9th
er things, that they think they have
no time to give all these little essen
tials attention. These days the mer-
chant is really up against a hard
game, unless he keeps right in line
and to the front. Statistics show that
80 per cent. of those who engage in
the retail trade fail.
People must buy necessities. The
average mortal wants the best he can
get for the least money. Merchant
Jones can't sell at any higher prices
than Brown on the opposite side of
the street sells like goods for, and
Browns method is pretty good.
Brown has captured a good trade,
and on some lines gets sitter prices.
How does he do it? Look at the ar
rangement of his goods. He has
place for everything, and everything
properly in its place, and displayed to
the greatest advantage. He hasn't
his potatoes and his apples mixed in
a heap and his tomatoes and other
canned goods of the vegetable class
mixed with his jellies and his jams;
neither are the labels so covered with
dust that the goods look as if they
were held in stock for years. You can
just bet Brown is up-to-date, his goods
are so arranged that people find
pleasure in stopping in front of the
store and looking at the show win
dows, and go through the door and
see the harmony and order in all the
arrangement of his stock. Brown
himself is no slouch, his attire is plain
but neat, no gaudy display and his
temper is always even, and a smile
is for every customer, and all his
clerks are required to keep them
selves neat and show the greatest
courtesy to everyone who enters the
store. Then again, he sees that goods
are delivered promptly, no delay in
getting your sugar, your butter and
all that you order from Brown, for he
is always Johnny-on-thespot. Then
again, he keeps all his customers feel
ing well; he always believes in an
era of good feeling; he is sympathetic
Then Brown is a man who doesn't
believe in keeping a set of books for
the purpose of charging up poor ac
counts. He has knack of collecting
his bills SO his customers feel they
are under obligations to him, and
while he is a stickler for making cash
sales, sometimes good responsible
customers want a little credit, and
get it. Merchants like Brown are the
kind that build up the home town.

Migratory Merchants.

Retail merchants in small towns
have almost as bad competition with
the travelling month-in-a-town fakir,
as they have in the big catalogue
houses. Many towns have ordinances
and even state laws in some cases are
in force, to control the wandering
from town-to-town merchant"
Those Migratory dealers are han.
dlers of job lots, seconds and stale
goods and are adopts in the advertis'
ing art. They land in a town with a
carload of their inferior goods, hire
a vacant store room in some part OF
town, in or as near the business cen
ter as they can; distribute attractive
posters throughout the town and coun
try, and then glib statesmen start to
work the unsophisticated. 1t is main

The Evolution of
Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine buGi.
ness is the natural Outgrowth Of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME.
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas
bitters, laxatiVes and tenics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. a
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated. .
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one OF
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THEH0USE-
HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men
nonite origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased; and at last he
established mandatory and fur
uished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
DR.. Hartman's Judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.
