A BuIIet-Prcof Coat.

A new bullet-proof coat of mail was
recently invented by Russian, which
will protect the body against Mauser
bullets fired at few PAGES. While its
composition is a secret, yet it is known
to contain platinum, silver and iridium
and has the effect of flattening the
bullets. If you want to keep the sys-
tenn proof against attacks of stomach,
liver, kidney and bowel disorders you
cannot find a better or more reliable
remedy than Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. Its SIS years record is the best
guarantee of its merit. and should
commend itself to every sick man and
woman. If you suffer from poor appe
tite, vomiting, sick headache, heart
burn, Indigestion, dyspepsia, costive
ness, biliousness, liver and kidney

"May Be Reduced Fifty Per Cent

"May Be Reduced Fifty Per Cent"
On August %. 1907. Mr. H. E. Miles,
chairman of the tariff committee OF
the National Association of Manufac.
turers, wrote to Senator Foraker a
letter in which Mr.. Miles said: .
''About forty per cent of all the
members of our association who have
by correspondence pronounced for re-
vision declare in their letters that
their own schedules MAY PROPERLY
BE REDUCED FIFTY PER CENT OR
MORE WITHOUT HURT TO THEIR
RESPECTIVE INDUSTRIES OR TO
THE COUNTRY AT LARGE"
How exorbitant must be this prec.
ious tariff fostered by the Republican
party when even forty per cent of its
beneficiaries, frightened by the rising
tide of public sentiment, admit that
their own schedules may properly be
reduced fifty per cent or more without
hurt to their respective industries, or
to the country at large"
If the common everyday experience
Of the consumers is not sufficient to
awaken Republican voters to the
iniquity of the existing tariff system,
surely the confession in the letter re.
ferred to ought at least to challenge
attention and invite thoughtful inves-
tigation.

Living cost-Wases.

Has cost of living increased
faster than have wages? The
answer is found in the follow
Ing table of two lines:
Increase.
Cost of living 40 per cent
Wages ............19 per cert
Frank w. Hitchcock, now
National Republican chairman,
former first assistant postmas-
ter-general, recommended a
$5,000,000 increase in the COM
pensation of letter carriers, Civ
ing as his reason that cost OF
living has materially increased.
Salaries of senators and repre-
sentatives were increased so per
cent, and many speeches were
made in both bodies to show
that so heavy has been the In
crease in living cost that the
raise in congressional salaries
was necessary, lest only wealthy
men be able to accept Office in
either branch of the congress.
Need any housewife be told
these facts? Is there head OF
a family who does not realize
their truth?

The Republican Party's Own Answe

The Republican Party's Own Answer.
In his address to the Republican ma
tional convention, Temporary Chair
man Burrows referred to the Repub-
lican victory in 1904, and then asked:
"In view of this Endorsement, it be-
comes pertinent and opportune to in
quire, what has the Republican party
done in the last four years of govern
ment control to forfeit public conf
dence or create distrust in its capac-
ity for future administration?
For this question the Rochester
New York; Union and Advertiser
finds a striking answer. This is the
answer which the Union and Adver-
tiser takes out of the mouth of Sen
ator Burrows own party as stated in
the Republican Platform of 1896: 'In
the broad effect of it's policy it has
precipitated panic, blighted industry
and trade with prolonged depression,
closed factories, reduced work and
wages. halted enterprise and crippled
American production. Every consider.
alton of public safety and individual
interest demands that the government
shall be rescued from the hands of
those who have shown themselves in.

aster."

upon this subject In the far
west, and insist upon extending
justice and courtesy to a peo-.

and are likely to derive such i'm
