is cubebs Classed as stomachic and as
a tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient OF
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the

The prohibition Amendrne M

Though both of the great political
clared for the submission of constitu-
tional amendment to a vote of the
people, from all appearances it looks
as if the amendment will again be de-
feated. On this subject the Charleston
Gazette says:
1t is rumored that the liquor inter
ests have assurance that the required
eleven votes in the state senate will be
on hand when the West Virginia leg
islature conveues in January to de-
feat the submission of the prohibition
amendment to vote OF the people,
Notwithstanding all the political par
ties put plank in the irrespectative
state platforms declaring for such su b.
mission.
If these CLAIMS be well founded then
ehere is a good deal in what a promi-
nent western politician once said: Plat
forms are only intended to ride into
Office on"
While no names are given it is said
careful poll has been taken of the
members of the senate and " hen the
time comes for vote on the question
In that body, at least eleven members
of that body will be found opposed to
submission. 1t is claimed by some
prominent members of the prohibition
party that the action taken by Theo-
dore Alvord, president of the State
Anti Saloon League, in attempting to
defeat the nomination of successful
candidates and in taking the stump
for Glasscock' S election has greatly in
jured the ca1se Of temperate in the
state.

cnmmins senator-EIeca

Des Moines, Iowa, NOV. N.-By 9
strict party vote of 100 to 5 Governor
| Albert b. Cummins was elected Unit
ed States Senator today TO fill the va
caucy caused by the death of Senator
William B Allison, whose term would
have expired on March A, 1909. The
JOINT ses sion of the Legislature quiet
Iy fulfilled the m andate of the recent
primary. The Democratic minority
voted soIidly for Claude Porter.
Following the election of Governor
Cummins 10 the Senate he resigned
the Governorship and Lieutenant-Goy-
ernor Garst was installed as Governor
fer the remainder Of Cummins' term,
which will end on January Is, 1909.
A reception atten Eel by thousands
was held in The rotunda of the Capt.
tol tonight. Governor Garst and Sena-
tor Cummins stood in line more than
two hours receiving congratulations.
Neatly all Des Moines, it seemed,
turned out to extend good wishes.
Senator Cummins Will go to Wash
ing,on early next month to be sworn
in. While his speech of acceptance
was plea for harmony and for eradi-
cation of factonal differences in Iowa,
he was none the less specific on the
questions which have engaged his at
tention in the cause Of his career.
Speaking Of his attitude on the tariff
he pledged himself for immediate re-
vision. He declared himself unaltera-
bly, opposed to discrimination in
freight rates, and condemned stock
watering and other alleged abuses of
corporations.
Speaking of his position relative to a
revision of the tariff, Senator Cum
Minis said:
''As you all know, / am a Republic
can. | believe in the essential princi-
pies Of tina. party, and | shall do my
utmost to carry them into effect, for
thus and thus only, as | view my duty
can promote the welfare of all the
people. | am deeply convinced of the
justice and he wisdom of the. econom-
ic ~ stem which imposes protective
duties upon imports, and with m
voice and vote in the Senate of the
United States | shall do everything in
my power to preserve 1t.
$40 me this established policy Of the
Republican party means duties upon
competitive products high enough to
protect the American producer ia his
home market againt the unfair rival
~ CT other countries, but, upon the
other hand, low enough to insure
to the American consumer
fair American price. | am in absolute
harmony with the definition announc-
ed in the most recent national plat
form. What little influence | may
have will be exerted to fulfill the
pledge upon which the coming add
ministration was intrusted with po-
lltical power"
The election of Senator Cummins
marks the realization of an ambition
which he has pursued perseveringly
for fourteen years.

Cost Of Living

The federal bureau of labor's findings
of wage conditions in 4169 manufactur-
ing establishments, which have just
been published, cover the year 1907 and
are therefore only slightly affected by
the panic conditions which have since
become so serious: Yet they reveal
even for last year the sinister spectacle
of fall in the reward of labor measured
by what wages would buy.
1t is true that wages rose 81 per cent
above 1906, and the hours of labor were
a trifie shorter, but the cost of living,
measured by actual purchases, rose AZ
per cent Measured in goods, pay de-
creased; if rent had been included, the
drop would have been considerable.
1t is sadly apparent what similar in
quiry for 1908 will reveal. A commend
able effort has been made to keep wages
at their level, or to restore them after
brief cuts, but an average covering
MANY industries would show decline
The percentage of unemployed has been
very high and remains disquietingly so.

REVENUE AND TARIFF

The Philadelphia Record, discussing
the free trade congress which will he
held in London next month to promote
trade throughout the world, speaks
thus of different ways of levying
revenue taxes with IL view to promoting
trade:
"Although Great Britain is Il free
trade country, the government revenues
from customs amounted last year to
upward of $3.50, 900, 600. This large
sum is derived from duties OH sugar,
tobacco, spirits, malt liquors, dried
fruits and q few other articles. Under
this system of commercial freedom,
which favOrs no interest and looks only
to the revenues Of the government,
trusts and monopolics in trade are quite
out of the question. As soon us one is
attempted free importation soon re-
dresses the balance in favor Of c0nsum-
rrS. This was seen not very long ago
when Il combination of English manu-
facturcrs of soap was formed to raise
its price.
I'm contrast with the few and small
duties of the English system is the
omnivorouS tariff of this country.
which does not yield IL much greater
revenue to the government than the
tariff Of Great Britain. a reason for
this is that the Dinglcy tariff was
framed to defeat revenue in some of
it's schedules. One consequence is the
creation of IL swarm of trusts to prey
on the substance of the American Eeo-
pie. 1t is within II moderate estimate
that for every dollar that this i'll
iluitouS system brings to the public
treasury for support of the govern
mont, it extorts five dollars more from
consumers to fill the voracious maws

its offspring, t. say nothing of the
