history.
Saturday is the time fixed for the

Words cannot describe the terrible

on my head and kept spreading until it
covered my whole body. / was almost
a solid mass Of sores from head to foot.
looked more like a piece Of raw beef
than human being. The pain and
agony i endured seemed more than i
could bear. Blood and pus oozed from
the great sore on my scalp, from under
my finger nails, and nearly all over my
body. My ears we're so crlsted and
swollen / was afraid they would break
of. Every hair in my head fell out.
] could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the pain.
My family doctor did all he could, but
l got worse and worse. NY condition
was awful. ! did not think / could live.

frightful sufTerings.
In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me TO try the Cuticura Rem

of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-
lief experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep / had had in weeks. It
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. / would bathe with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply

Of the balance. The increases are of
great Importance to the consumer
| while most of the decreases, like
| those on sugar and iron and steel, are
OF no value to him for they leave the
duties still prOhibitive of any foreign
importation as a regulator Of domes-
tic prices fixed by monopoly. The
reductions, for most part, represent
| merely the looping off of a little of
the excessive duty that the trust

prevent for all time federal tax upon

1t increases the burdens of the
consumer by the imposition of a tax
upon corporate earnings to be shifted
by the corporation through increases
of its prices and charges to the pub
lie. This tax is an admitted subter
fuge and is a legislative recognition
of corporate combinations heretofore

This must make very interesting
reading for the standpatters- 1t GER
tainly does for democrats. For when
a powerful voice within the camp of
the republicans is raised in such ire
mendous protest; when Achilles sulks
in his tent and refuses to Join the
battle, there is at least hope for the
Trojans, the people imprisoned be-
hind the walls of ignorance and affa-
BILE submission to circumstance. But
has not that people learned a sufh

public eye opened wide enough to de-
feat the cunning purpose of Ulysses,
in whatever garb he may appear In
America?
The Washington wooden horse is
well filled with forces aimed against
the freedom and well-being of the
people. Its concealed enemies may,
for a time, distress US; but there will,
we hope, be no catastrophe. With
men like La Toilette brought to bay
why, democrats ought to be on broad
grin when thinking about the con-
gressionaI election of 1910.
