ing tax on tho necessities. such as
wheat tIsat goes into bread. wood that

the present method of taxing the in
comes and inheritances of the rich.
No Trades Union for Protection.
There is no labor member in the
house of commons who is not in favor
of free trade. and no single trades
union has declared for protection.
Some manufacturers who have read
of the tremendous profits of tariff ben
eficiaries in the United States are also
behind the Chamberlain movement to
overthrow free trade for protection
Under free trade there are practic-
ally no trusts in Great Britain. Those
combinations of manufacturers who
have tried to organize trusts on Brit
ish soil, and have failed, would like to
have protection to realize their ambi-
tions.
Vast sums of money are being spent
by the rich men behind the tariff re-
form" movement in England. If pro
lection could be secured they would
no doubt be able to not only recover
the amounts of their investments, but
also some handsome profits.
Some of the smaller of the British
politicians are fighting for the estab-
lishment of a protective system be
cause the moment it comes into ex.
istence it will pay to be in politicts.

to run the respective governments. In
free trade Great Britain the burden of
taxation is laid principally upon the
rich-the class receiving the most ben
efits from the government, and best
able to stand taxation In the United
States. where the people tolerate high
protection, the burden of taxation is
placed upon the consumeTs-whO re-
ceive the fewest benefits from the gov
ernment, and are least financially able
to pay taxes.
Systems COntrasted.
England raised $163, ,i50,0 900 in 1908
by taxing the incomes of the wealthy
Uncle Sam did not raise a penny of
revenue from the same source, but
secured an equivalent sum from the
consuming class through the medium
of import duties on the necessities of
life.
IF free trade is a success in Eng
land. why is it that an attempt is be-
ing made under the leadership of Jo-
seph Chamberlain to return to protec-

Court OF Appeals Affirms
Verdict Finding Him
Guilty
FOR MISUSE OF FUNDS
United States Supreme Court
Alone Can Now Save Him
From Prison.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-The verdict of the
trial court, which found john r. Walsh
guilty of misapplication of funds of the
Chicago National bank. was affirmed
by the United States circuit court of
appeals today.
Claimed Lack of Intent.
Counsel for Walsh in the appeal laid
greatest stress on what they alleged
was the lack of criminal intent on the
part of the defendant
The opinion of the court of appeals.
written by Judge Humphrey and hand
ed down by Judge Grosscup, is brief
and confined almost wholly to the
question of criminal intent. The ale
cation that Juror Palmer was unduly
Influenced is dismissed with a word,
and but little more is wasted in elm
mating the allegation of inconsistency
and repuguancy.
No Inconsistency in SubatHncc.
'As long as there is no inconsistent
Cy in the verdict as to the substance
of the matter charged i'm The various
counts" says the opinion, the verdict
will not be disturbed. II the grava-
men of the charge in each count on
which there has been a verdict of
guilty is the same, there IS no incon-
sistenCy in the verdict"
shows No Improper influence.
AS to Juror Palmer, he opinion
reads: The record does not show any
improper influence being worked upon
the jury. Tho return made to the
court was n~fact TCT7TiGT OF I = jur-
ors. Any attempt by ono of them af,
forwards to impeach his verdict can

is well established and is based upon

Deals with Intent.
In the instructions given the jury by
Judge Anderson in the trial court. the
higher tribunal finds no error As to
lack of criminal intent. the opinion
reads: Under section ,2Og there could
be misarplication of bank funds by an
officer which would be innocent and
not criminal, and there could be mis-
application which. under the statutes.

the difference between misappications
which were criminal and those which

No one could have told you what
caused rheumatism twenty-five years
ago. and it seems a large number do
not know yet, for recently popular
weekly publication came out with an
article by we'll known and learned
specialist. who frankly stated that
rheumatism was SO elusive that one
could not fanthom it. He was mis-
taken in saying that no one could do
this, for he neglected to remember
''Rheumaline" in his reconing, The
Corner Drug Store is free to admit
that Rheumaline has done more for
rheumatism than anything they have
ever handled, and they have watched
the effect of numberless medicine, and
as they. sell all, naturally their view
would be unbiased.
There is only one reason for Rheu-
maline's success, and that is that it.
does the business. 1t acts quickly
and effectively and in direct contra
diction to the eminent gentleman's
statements above. Rheumaline is a
sure and certain relief for rheumatism,
The Sauk Centre herald., 1909-06-03
No One Knew
What Caused Il

I lumbagO, sciatica, neuralgia, gout and
kidney, liver, bladder, stomach and
blood troubles caused by uric acid,
and it does not injure the stomach
nor effect the heart action because it
contains no injurious drugs or opiates,
Rheumaline has thousands of unsal-
aried salesmen and salesmomen, un-
salaried because of their own choosing.
Rheumaline has cured them and they
can not recommend it too highly.
Don't let prejudice be detriment of
your health. Just because Rheuma-
line is advertised is no sign it is un-
worthy of consideration. We could
not last in business if there was no
merit to Rheumaline. The Corner
Drug Store. which has the sole agency
of Rheumaline, could not recommend
it consistently if it were not worthy.
Think it over-then try it out. Rheu-
4maline Capsules relieve pain immedi-
ately, and Rheumaline Tablets are a
quick and pleasant relief for constipa-
tion. Get Rheumaline. 1t removes
the cause.
