The election on Tuesday makes plain
the fact that you can drive the people so
far and no farther. For long time this
country stood for very burdensome tar
if law, but when Aldrich and Cannon and
the other representatives of the trusts and
monopolies again revised the tariff up
wards, and lied about tito boot, the peo-
pie rebeled. ltisno longer true that the
tariff is needed to nourish infant indus
tries or TO protect American labor-itS
sole use is now to exclude foreign-made
goods in order that the wealthy manufac-
turerS of this country may charge exor-
bitant prices for their products, and, hav-
ing absolutely no competition, get rich
quick. The tariff humbug has been ex-
posed and the people will 70 longer stand
for its iniquitieS.

THE next House of Representatives
will have Democratic majority of g.
more than reversing the present Republi-
can majority Of 43. This entirely ellmi-
mates Cannon as Speaker, OF course. The
Democrats will gain nine or ten members
of the Senate, and with the help of the
Republican insurgents will easily control
that body as against the old standpatters.
Among the prominent Senators who will
be left at home are Senator Scott, of West
Virginia, Senator Lodge, ofMaSsachusetts,
Senator Beverage, OF Indiana, Senator
Depew, of New York, Senator Kean, Of
New Jersey Senator Dick, OF Ohio, and
possibly one or two others.

The "pure food law" is designed by
the Government to protect from injurious
ingredients in both foods and drugs. Ii
is beneficial both to the public and to the
conscientious manufacturer. Ely'S Cream
Balm, a successful remedy for cold in

containing no injurious drugs, meets full
ly the requirements of the new law, and
that fact is prominently stated on every
package. II contains none OF the injur
iouS drugs which are required by the law
to be mentioned on the label. Hence you
can use it safely.

AN analysis OF the vote will show Sen
ator Silver what the people OF Jefferson
county think Of him. lttakeS good deal
to make Jefferson county Democrat
scratch his ticket, and the pitiful majority
that Silver gets here is significant. His
candidacy weakened the whole ticket,
for Brown would have gotten several
hundred more votes in Jefferson had not
Silver's name been upon the ballot. A
great many Democrats refused TO vote at
all because they could not vote for Silver
and yet would not scratch a ticket
