THE CONDITION OF THE COUN.
TRY.

The condition of business through
out the country Immediately prior to
the day on which the storm burst
upon the stock exchange in Wall
street was good. Crops throughout
the West and South were excellent
and all products commanded high
price. The trade of the merchants
in response to the demands of the
consumers was active. Traffic on
the railroads was large and showed
no signs of decrease. Labor was &C
lively employed. Everywhere COM
mercial and industrial conditions
were normal, when suddenly the
panic took possession of the stock
exchange, and slowing down pro-
cess throughout the country was
begun.
Except for the distrust caused by
the panic there has been no de-
velopment since then to indicate that
the resumption of activity should be
long delayed. There is an abund-
ance of money everywhere. The
panic was due to distrust, not to
stringency Immediately following the
any lack of money; and now that
the banks have resumed payments
and the disposition to hoard money
has almost entirely disappeared, it
is seen that the volume of currency
Is ample for all the country's needs
What then is the cause of the
hard times and business depression
which still prevail? We are fully
persuaded that the unholy war, in
augurated upon trades unionism, by
the National Association of Manufac-
turers, is wholly responsible for the
present distress.

Let union men remember that
every time they purchase the anti
union article they are contributing
to the displacement of the union
manufacturer, the union workman
and ultimately to the extinction of
the laborer or union article entirely.

It was Mr.. Gladstone, who said
shortly before his death: IT pain.

political controversy of the last

educated classes, the wealthy class.
es, the titled classes, have been in
the wrong"
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1908-04-04

Doctors call non-union doctors
"qdacks,' lawyers mon-union law
yers "shysters,," and yet when some
of these same lawyers and doctors
hear a union mechanic call a nom
union mechanic scab they would
have him sent to Jail.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1908-04-04

The way to build up the labor
movement is to spend your money
to employ union workers. The DOW
er of organized workers is great
but the power of the workers wives
is greater. A consistent demand for
the labels will work wonders.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1908-04-04

"Robert Ingersoll said: I do no:
know what inventions are in the
brain of the future; I do not know
what garments of glory may be woven
for the world in the loom of the great
ocean of discovery; do not know
what science will do for us. I do
know that scence did just take 2
handful Of sand anr make the tele-
scope, and with it read the starry
leaves Of heaven; I know that science
took the thunder bolts from the hands
of Jupiter, and now the electric spark.
freighted with thought and love,
flashes under the waves Of the sea;
know that science stole a tear from
the cheek of unpaid labor, converted
1t into steam, and created a giant
that turns with tireless arms the
countless wheels Of toll; I know that
science broke the chains from the hu-
man limb, and gave US instead the
forces of nature for our slaves; I know
that we make the attraction of gravi-
tat1On work for us; we have made
the lightnings' our messengers; we
nave taken advantage Of fire and
flames and winds and sea; these
slaves have no backs to be whipped;
they have no children to be sold, no
cradles to be violated; I know that
science has given us better pictures
and better books; 7 know it has giveh
US better wives and better husbands.
and more beautiful children; I know
it has enriched a thousand fold our
lives; and for that reason I am in
favor Of intellectual liberty"

Tuesday and Thursday.

Sunday afternoons performance
will mark the first and only appear
ance here this season of the Cherry
Blossoms" a jolly aggregation of
comedy dispensers and musical pur-
veyers WHO claim to have an entirely
new and original up-to-date enter
ta1nment to offer. They will hold
OF April 9TH. The management has
been careful in selecting it's present
seasons company and securing the
best that can be contrived in the way
of topical Interesting amusement
The Cherry Blossoms is one of the
later day burlesque organizations, and
is not welded to the ancient idea that
an audience can only be provoked to
laughter by the aid Of horse play and
slap sticks, both Of which are con-.
spicuous in this company by their
absence. The united efforts of John
Perry, Golf Phillips, Eddie Markey,
John Moran, Eddy Mack, John Nelson
ande Jene Jerge keep the comedy 60
ing at fast and furious rate in both
the opening satire aboard the Yacht
skidoo" and the closing skit of "Three
Old Cronies.'' Both are written on
original lines and contain just enough
plot to make them interesting, and
are interspersed throughout with orr
gina1 musical numbers, executed by
a score of pretty girls in elaborate and
gorgeous costumes. In the olio, which
is of unusual merit, will be found an
entertainment equal to any vaudeville
house in the city, including as it. does
Marley and Moran, the scotchman
and Tommy Atkins on guard, Gran
vile and Mack in a nonsensical alb
surdity, Golf Phillips, monologist,
Jerge, Alene and Hamilton, acrobatic
song and dance, Lilly Perry, the chic
little soubrette, and others.

DREADED INSANITY DUE TO
KIDNEY DISORDERS
symptoms and Home treatment

Gaut, the celebrated German special
list, asserts that seven-tenths of the
feeble-minded and insane are the vic
tins OF kidney diseases.
Nervousness, e~Xcitability, restless
ness, m~elancholia, pains in the back
and head, neuralgia and rheumatic
pains, fevers. chills, scanty urine, high
ly colored and acid urine, burning
pains, fullness and soreness in the re-
gion OF the bladder, all indicate that
the kidneys are affected and weakened,
needing tonic treatment.
The very best physician should be
consulted at once, unless the patient
fully recognizes the symptoms, in
which case let the following simple,
inexpensive, but reliable prescription
be used for several weeks.
Ask any honest druggist to mix one
half ounce fluid extract Buchu, with
n ounce compound fluid Balmwort
and two ounces compound syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Then take a teaspoonful after
each meal and one at retiring, drink
ing plenty of good, pure water between
meals. This mixture makes a splendid
tonic and blood purifier.
