gambling-the bulls and bears de-
vouring the lambs, and the game is
relentless. For years and years the
country and people have been per
sistently and systematically bled to
build up these vast and powerful
fortunes. Stockholders IN railroads
and industrial manufactures have
tempted the public with bats over
this gaming table, compared to
which Monte Carlo is a toy, until
they have grown opulent and inso-
lent. Men like Russell Sage, and
there are only a few of such, who
would not faint their hands with
gaming, have loaned their securities
at a premium to brokers who have in
turn flched the public. The gov
eminent does not license this insti-
tuition, but has refused to interfere
until the wealth of the country has
been congested into the hands of a
few. These brokers and gamblers
constitute not only a system of
gambling, but they operate game
which is absolutely impenetrable. a
game which offers everything and
gives nothing but disaster to its
victims,
In such den as this was born
the trust - the institution which
says the farmer and producer may
exist only at the mercy of its man
dates. And this is the concern
which poses as a public benefactor.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by inaaned
condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachion
Tube. When this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition hear
ing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which IS nothing but
an inhained condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give Que Hundred Dollars for any case

not stop to say how Victor Hugo rank

TEE CONDITION AND CAUSE.

There is in this country feeling
of unrest, an internal element OF
discomfort, an irritant inhaming to
deeds of violence people who were
heretofore law-abidlng, urch.
going, peaceful, useful and well
disposed citizens. BY these out
breaks general lawlessness and riot
ing is encouraged and the trouble
spreads to irresponsible and des-
perate hands. The question natu-
rally comes to the reasoning mind
is there or is there not cause or a
provocation tor the turbulence.
Leading to the issue we may as
we'll say that the character present
ed is not the anarchist, but the
"Night Rider" The spirit of an
archy may be in some measure as
sociated with that of the night
rider, but the origin and growth OF
the two bodies are totally different.
The anarchist is government pl-
rate. He is a traitor to any form
of government. He is usually an
exile, either voluntary or compul-
sorry. He may be likened to the
night rider in one respect only-and
that is, his deeds are usually COW
cred with darkness. The anarchist
is abnormal, He is the outlaw OF
a people reduced BY centuries OF
iron rule.
The night rider is the creature OF
new birth. His speciesAspring not
from the effects of government, but
from the abuse of government by
the speculative classes.
Diminishing the anarchist with the
apology that his name was used
only to show the absence of rela-
tionship to the night rider we re-
turn to the subject.
At the outset it must be said that
the use of the torch and the whip
are no less crimes because commit
ted by night riders, but they are
done under license similar to that
which is sometimes resorted to in
the name of great country whose
defenders in arms are seeking to
subdue an unprincipled adversary.
The night rider is one or the friend
of one who is a patriot. In other
words he is revolutionist. In this
country he is attached to the prin-
ciples enunciated in the Declara-
ton of Independence, and when
these principles are violated by COM
merclal usurpation and the govern
ment refuses relief he seeks redress
in the form of disorder as do the
armies in the burning and plllage
of property. The night rider has his

we're these institutions fed and how
have they grown so great. Not di-
rectly the cause perhaps of num-
bers of trusts, but primarily the
foundation upon which rests the
life of these concerns is our system
of speculation, our great gambling
institutions known as the New York
Stock Exchange, the New York Cot
ton Exchange, and the Grain Elk
change of Chicago. These are the
concerns which have fed the wealthy
barons of this country and made
possible system of trusts and COM
mercial arrogance, the like of which
is not recorded in history. Men
have accumulated hundreds of mill
lions, and how! There is not the
remotest possibility of any one man
ever achieving this distinction in
the legitimate channels of trade.
Possible exceptions may be made
of lesser millionalres.
