It is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and In most
cases a cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Liniment. The relief
from pain which it affords is alone
worth many times its cost. It makes
sleep and rest possible. Even In cases
of long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief which
1t affords. Do not be discouraged

Local Options Fight.
Will 90 Alter Legislature Next Year and Try
10 Elect a Governor Favorable to II.

The Pennsylvania State Anti
Saloon League, will, it is announc-
ed, endeayor next year to elect not
only Legislature pledged to local
option, but governor who stands
upon a similar platform. This new
stand is inspired, according to State
Superintendent Nicholson. who has
not heretofore been quite clear as
to whether or not he desired local
option plank in Republican plat
forms, by "the tendency in certain
quarters to push to the front one or
two men whose candidacy gives
evidence of being inspired by the
brewery interests. Whom he
means by zone or two men" Mich
olson declines to say, but Wesley
X. Andrews, private secretary to
United States Senator Penrose, aud
chairman of the Republican state
committee, and Congressman John
K. Tener, of Washington county,
both of whom come within the
category, have been doomed for
governor. Nicholson does not
make plain whether or not the
Anti-Saloon League will endeavoi
to have local option planks incor.
porated in both the Republican and
Democratic state platforms. He
says that "the league has no candi'
dates of its own, as the league is

The Business Situation.
The General Trade Indications Point 10 Una.
bated Activity.

General trade indications point
to unabated activity. Every week
sees a steady and substantial i'm
provement in the business situa-
ton. The manufacturing interests
of the country are operating at
higher percentage of capacity. AS
a rule, prices of both raw and fin
ished products are advancing.
There is decided tendency to dis
count the settlement of the tariff
and tie harvesting of good. all
round crops. The United States steel
corporation is said to be operating
ninety per cent. of its present ca
pacity. which is equivalent to
ninety-seven per cent. or more of
the 1908 capacity. The price of
steel billets has been further adj
vanced 81 per ton. Copper, the
metal, is marking time, the large
accumulated stocks still operating
as weight upon prices. But it is
significant that in lines consuming
large quantities of copper, busi-
ness is improving. Purchases by
the leading harvester, radiator and
cast iron pipe interests are believed
to have been greater than at first
reported and to have exceeded roo,-
900 tons in the first week of July.
Some of the ore shipments this year
will be as great as in 1907, which
was the record year. Bank clear
ings last week were more than ten
per cent. greater than the week
before and fifteen per cent. greater
than year ago. For the last two
weeks reported on there has been
a small decrease in the number of
idle freight cars. The railroad
gross earnings for the first week of
July were II per cent. above last
year.

Little Preserved Milk.
Out OF 1856 Samples State Finds Only
Six Drugged.

Pure Food Agents Hutchinson

the State Commissioner Foust that
they collected in 20 cities and
boroughs of Eastern Pennsylvania
1855 samples of milk and cream for

six were found to contain the pre-

This is in strange contrast with

Bolivia and Peru Clash.
Details Ct The Boundary Dispute Between the
Two Countries.

The territory involved in the dis.

the frontier limits of both countries
comprises hundreds and hundreds
Of square miles of very rich land,
all lying at the eastern base of the
Cordille:as. That, along with
other rich territory lying near the

ierre Acha, the consul general of
Bolivia in New York city, in ex-
planning the causes of the riots in
La Paz, the Bolivian capital had

between those two countries within
the last generation. As a result Of
that contest Brazil paid Bolivia SIo,-

of which still are on deposit in New
York and London. has been chiefly
expended in building railroads in
tended to develop Bolivian com
merce and increase the trade rela-
tions between my country and
Brazil through forming rail con-
nections with the traffic that plies
the rivers of both states. Already
the railroad has been completed
from Oruro to Niacha, and a line
now is under construction from
Oruro to Uyuni, which lies to the
southwark.
Villages and cities that owe
their founding wholly to Bolivian
initiative have sprung up in great
number throughout the disputed
territory. Thus Bolivia has spent
its money there as we'll as the blood
Of its people. Two thousand of its
soldiers were killed there in one
campaign against Brazil. In that
conflict not one Peruvian citizen
raised hand to protect the terri
tory in question. Not one Peruvian
soldier ever fought to gain that strip
of land. But when the hostilities
had concluded Peru stepped in with
its claim that the territory rightly
belonged to it.
peru assumed to base its claim
on the contention that the land be-
longed to it by reason of certain dis
positions made by Spanish kings,
but that contention practically was
a mere assertion. On the other
hand, before the South American
republics were formed and when
Spanish control dominated, the land
in question formed a part of the
territory which, with Bolivia area
today. was under the jurisdiction
of the central Spanish authority
that existed at Charcas, the latter
now forming the present city of
Sucre. Peru's territory was ad-
ministered by Spanish authority
from Buenos Aires, Chile by the
captain general then established at
Santiago, and so on. So when
similar argument was required to
meet the Peruvian contention of
priority of rights Bolivia had direct
proof to advance in support of its
claim that the part of it's area, even
under the Spanish kings.

WASHINGTON
From our Regular Correspondent.

Washington, d. c., July 26, 1909
The determined effort of Presi-
dent Taft to indute his party
leaders in Congress, and especially
in the Senate, to make some actual
and material reductions in the
tariff and the violent protests and
obvious terrors of the apostles of
protection as a result have afforded
subject of interest throughout the
past week. Thus far the President
has refused to make any concession
from his demand for free hides,
free coal, free petroleum, free iron
ore and the House rate of 81 a
thousand feet on lumber. A num-
Der of Senators from the Western
states are making the most extrav.
agant arguments against these re.
duc,ions and are protesting with
unrestrained violence. Senator
Scott of West Virginia went to the
White House recently TO endeavor
to induce the President to with
draw his demand for free coal and
when Judge Taft refused he left in
food Of tears, actually standing
Oh the steps of the White House

ecutive.

~
1t is only in private conversation
that Senators are willing 10 reveal
the real occasion of their intense
opposition to the Presidents
recommendations. Talking private
ly, they frankly admit that they
loresee in his attitude the death
knell Of the protective system.
Said one Of them to your CORES
pondent today; President Taft
may not realize the fact but he is a
rank free trader. He is undermin-
ing the whole protective system.
We Republicans have always main
tanned that under protective tariff
we could build up industries which
through their own competition,
domestic competition l mean,
would bring down prices. If tha,
were true it would make no differ
ence whatever how high the duties
were. The prices would come down
just the same. Now the President
takes just the opposite stand and
says it is an injustice to the con-
sumer to leave the duties too high.
What will be the result? The con-
sumers will get the idea that all
tariff except that imposed solely
for revenue is an injustice to them
and they will wipe out the system.
1t is none too popular anyway and
for great national figure like
Taft to attack it means its ruin.
Now he wants free hides, iron ore,
petroleum and coal. Then the
people who have hides, ore, petro-
leum and coal to sell will immedi-
ately begin to insist that we must
have free boots and shoes, free
steel, free products Of petroleum
and so on. Even some Republican
Senators, like Borah and Cummins
and, in fact. all the insurgents who
voted against the Senate bill, are
already Clamoring for free boots
and shoes. And they will get them
and once the people become used
to the cheaper prices which will
result from the removal of the duty
we will never be able to induce
them to stand for the higher prices.
Free hides, indeed. Don't the Pres
ident know that the next thing
they will demand will be free wool?
He wants free lumber because he
deemed it hardship for the poor
man who has to build a house or a
barn to pay the increased price
resulting from the duty. Don't he
realize that the next thing the
public will demand will be free
nails and free paint to finish their
houses and barns? You can never
satisfy them. Their demand for
lower prices once they get the
taste will be Unsuitable and the
whole of our protective structure
will come tumbling about our
heads. Then too, he wants a tariff
commission. What good will that
do? Merely furnish additional in
formation to the public on which
to base demands for lower duties.
The people are happy and content
ed now. They are paying high
prices and they are making no
complaint, but once Taft starts
them on the highroad to free raw
materials, there will be no stopping

NEW QUESTION BOBS UP
Navy Officials Said to Be Doubtful
Regarding the Use of Mar
ines in Nicaragua.

Washington, Dec. 15.-The Nicara-
guam situation has caused navy Off
Gals some perplexity as to the avail
ability Of marines on .battleships for
service in that country.
The difficulty presents itself by rea-
son Of the proviso tackled on the naval
appropriation bill by the last congress
by which the money was to be avail
able only on condition that the marines
were restored to duties hitherto as
signed them. This made it obligatory
that the marines, who had been taken
on all the vessels IN the navy on which
they were serving, be restored to the
ships.
The question now arises as to the
availability of the marines on the yes
sells Of the navy for duty on shore.
There is said to be mo doubt in the
minds of naval officials that the ma
rInes might be landed for temporary
duty But, if the demand for service
continues, naval officials are not so
sure as to how long they would be jus
titled in keeping the marines ashore.
Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-THE United
States transport Prairie is still lying at
the Philadelphia navy yard with the
700 marines and all munitions of war
on board. 1t was announced tonight
that she would sail at o'clock tOmOr-
row for Colon. The Prairie has steam
up and was ready to sail today, when
orders were received delaying her de-
parture until tomorrow.
