FRIDAY, APRIL I, 1910.

The very worst of the gossipers are
those who gather up all the harsh
things that have been said about you
and bring them to you-all the things
said against you or against your fam
lily, or against your style of business.
They gather them all up and bring
them to you in the very worst shape;
they bring them to you without any
of the extenuating circumstances,
and after they have made your feel
ings all raw, very raw, they take this
brine. this turpentine, this aquafor-
tbs, and rub it in with coarse towel,
and rub it in until it sinks to the
bone. They make you the pin cush-
ion in which they thrust all the
sharp things they ever heard about
you. Nov don't bring me into no.
tice. Now don't tell anybody | told
you. Let it be between you and me.
Don't involve me in it at all" They
aggravate you to the point of pro-
family and then they wonder you
cannot sing psalm tunes They turn
you on a spit before a hot fire and
wonder why you are not absorbed in
gratitude to them. Peddler of night
shade, Peddlers of Canadian this
tie! Sometimes they get you in a
corner where you cannot very well
escape without being rude, and they
tell you all about this one, and all
about the other one, and they talk,
talk, talk. After awhile they GO
away, leaving the place looking like
a barnyard after the foxes and
weasles have been around; here a
wing and here a claw, and yonder
an eye and there a crop-destruction
everywhere.

REPUTATION OF THE CONSTI.
TITTInN

Democratic representatives in the
Maryland legislature unanimously
decided to ignore the fifteenth amend
ment in all state and local elections
by refusing the negroes the right to
register, thereby eliminating them
from the voting population. The
Democrats have a three-fifth major
ity in both branches of the Legisla-
ture.
The Republicans bitterly denounce
the action of the Democrats and say
that party has put itself on record
squarely against the constitution of
the United States. 1t is the most
drastic step in recent American his
tory the Republicans assert, and not
since the war between the states has
there been an act which so strongly
states rights.
The Republicans say the action of
the Democrats in caucus is to be fol-
lowed by the passage of new gen.
eral registration law for next year
and by legislation preliminary to the
submission of a suffrage amendment
next year which will practically
amount to a reputation of the con-
stitution of the United States, on a
par with the threatened notification
by South Carolina over seventy
years ago. Not only will the Repub-
licans fight the measures in the legis-
lature, but will fight them desperate
ly before the people and in the
courts.

Stomach I1iSery
Get Rid of That SOurness, Gas and
Indigestion.


Indigestion.
When your stomach is out of order
or run down, your food doesn't di-
gest. 1t ferments in your stomach
and forms gas which causes sour
ness, heartburn, foul breath, pain at
pit of stomach and many other mis-
cradle symptoms.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets will give
joyful relief in five minutes; if taken
regularly for two weeks they will
turn your tiabby, sour. tired out
stomach into a sweet, energetic, per-
feet working one.
You can't be very strong and Wig
orous If your food only half digests.
Your appetite will go and nausea,
dizziness, biliousness, nervousness,
sick headache and constipation will
follow.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are small
and easy to swallow and are guaran-
teed to Danish indigestion and any or
all of the above symptoms or money
back.
Fifty cents a large box. Sold by
druggists everywhere and by G. w.
Peil.
For constipation there is no rem
edy so satisfying as Booths Pills

AGAINST STRIKE LOSSES.
Germany Has System of Insurance
for Employers.

Insurance against strike losses is
an institution of recent date in Ger
many, writes Consul Albert of Bruns-
wick. The numerous strikes which
have taken place in this country have
caused industrial employers to use
all means for self-protection and
self-preservation against the attacks
of labor While the workmen must
suffer deprivation during a strike,
they have nothing to lose. When the
funds of the union are exhausted,
the striker is supported by cOntribu-
tions from other labor organizations.
Severe material damage is done the
employer by a strike. The factory
lies idle and suffers depreciation
from want of use. Production ceases
and the employer in these days of
keen competition is exposed to the
danger of being driven out of the
market which he has with difficulty
acquired. AS the stoppage of work
generally takes place at times of
greatest prosperity, when orders are
most numerous, he is likely to lose
all his custom to competitors.
This unfavorable position of in
dustry as compared with labor,
which is supported by its system of
organization has brought about in
dustrial insurance against loss by
strikes. The extent to which IL pre-
walls may be judged from. Official
statistics just published. According

THE MUCH ABUSED TARIFF

We have always held that the for
eign shipper pays the tariff and it
looks as if we were right. The tariff
on hides was not taken off with any
reference to contributing to the cam
paign funds" The tariff was taken
off as a concession to Senator Cum
Minis and other Free-Traders from
cattle producing States. They want
ed no Protection and got none. They
argued that free hides would give the
people cheaper leather and thus re-
lieve them from paying the tax. They
got free hides, but leather is not
cheaper.
The duty on hide came to about
81. The Government got the 81.
Some one paid it. With hides on the
free list the Government gets moth
ing. No one pays the dollar. Amer
lean tanners pay the same price for
imported hides, therefore they are
relieved from no tax. If the importer
did not take the 81 out of the price
paid on the hide when dutiable and
does not save the 81. no bookkeeping
will trace the money.
The Free-Trader says, Take the
duty off and the imported things will
be cheaper and the cost of living will
be less. The duty is off hides, but
the imported goods are not cheaper
nor the cost of living less. 1t is eight
months since the duty was taken off
and still prices are the same.
Hides are not singular in this re-
spect The duty on lumber is less
the cost of lumber higher. Tariffs
were reduced on sugar, corn, meal
salt, lard, starch, cream, dried peas
cabbage, green peas, barley, pork
ham, beef, mutton, veal (all neces-
sities), and all are dearer than be-
fore The tariff was increased on
pineapples, figs, dates, hops, split
peas, chicory, lemons, grapes, buck
wheat flour (not necessities), but
prices are the same as before.
Free-Traders have chewed on these
facts for half a century, but theiI
milk teeth are too soft to masticate
the hard facts and their stomachs
too weak to digest them. The Cal.
houn-Bryan school of craftsmanship
| lays every trouble on the tariff
1 Meanwhile under Republican Tariff
/ Protection the industries of the U. S
have always flourished, and under
Free-Trade languished. Under Free
/ Trade, foreign producers have beer
able to impose what prices they lik
| ed on us, but under Protection We
/ have built up competition in home
! production and forced foreign mono
| poles to give us goods at fair prices
Hides are a dry subject for Free
Traders. Free hides are skinnine
| their theories to the bone.

ALASKA ONE BIG MONEY BOX.
Estimates of Its Wealth Which Reach
$1,000, ZOO, 900, 900.

"A table of statistics shows Alas
ka's wealth to be anywhere from fif-
teen billion dollars to a trillion and
half" says Hampton's Magazine.
1t sounds more as if the results came
from several tables of guesses in
stead of statistics, but the figures are
big any way you take them.
An Alaskan said recently that
the only two persons who really
know anything about Alaska are the
Almighty and Alfred H. Brooks, :"
says the writer. The latter is a
member of the United States Geolo-
gical Survey and we have what he
knows about Alaska.
Mr. Brooks says that only 20
per cent. of Alaska has been surveyed
at all. That is, only this much has
been passed over even in reconnois-
sance surveys. which barely divide
vast stretches according to their
geological character. Survey in de
tail has covered less than l per
cent. of the territory.
This affords at least some basis
for an estimate. What is known of
that / per cent, added to what is
known of a patch here and there,
suggests the possibilities for the
rest.
There is sound reason to believe
there is $500,000,000 worth of
placer gold in Alaska. There may
be a hundred or a thousand times
that amount.
''As for lode gold mining there is
practically only one deep gold mine
being worked in Alaska, the Tread
well--the Rothschilds are said to
control that-and it has produced so
far S30,000,000. There may be at
least $625. 100000 lode gold in
Alaska
GAS for copper, this one item alone
will some day make a big crop of
Alaskan millonaires. The Govern
ment survey experts say; 1t is inn
possible to estimate the copper re-
serves Others say there is another
Montana there, another Arizona.
In coal the official Government
| figures can be definitely obtained.
The coal areas known at this time
aggregate 1,23S square miles, three
times the area of Pennsylvania S
coal bearing fields-and much of
| Alaska's coal equals or betters Penn
| sylvania's in quality. In unsurveyed
areas there are some fifty thousand
/ square miles of coal bearing lands.
/ Mr. BrOoks's lowest estimate of
Alaska's coal reaches the stupendous
total of 15,104, 100000 tons, and he
adds, it would be conservative to
multiply this figure by ten, or even
| hundred.
There are thousands of tons of
other minerals, silver, quicksilver,
tin, lead, iron. There is also pc
troleum. There may be vast quanti-
ties of oil under large areas. OF sill
yer 1,817,000 ounces have been TAX
en- out. Iron abounds
"One great source of wealth
sealing-has been exhausted already
The total on this single item reaches
the amazing figure of $125,000, 900,
The salmon industry produces a
value of $10,000,000 every year.
1T is estimated that there are
$1,000, 100000 feet of saw timber
in Alaska; probably there is twice
that much. There are agricultural
and grazing lands that may some day
support population of ten mil
lion"

A Handy Snuffbox,

A curious story is told as to how the
Rothschilds supported Carafa, the
composer. The latter was far from
rich. His principal income was de-
rived from a snufbox. And this was
the way Of it: The snuhbox was given
to the author Of LA Prison d'Edim-
bourgh" by Baron James de Rothschild
as token Of esteem. Carafa sold it
twenty-four hours later for IS na-
poleons to the same jeweler from
whom it had been bought. This be-
came known to Rothschild. who gave
it again to the musician on the follow
ing year. The next day it returned to
the jewelers.. The traffic continued
till the death of the banker and longer
still. for his sons kept up the tradi-
ton. to the great satisfaction Of
Carafa.
