PROVEN ECZEMA CURE

Many eczema sufferers have failed so utterly with salves and other dis eoveries" that even the assurance of the best physician or druggist cannot induce them to invest another dollar in any remedy.
 It is to these discouraged sufferers in particular that we now offer, at only p cents, a trial bottle of the accepted standard eczema remedy, a simple wash of oil of wintergreen, thy mol and glyeerine, as compounded in D. D. D. Prescription.
 Hundreds of cures have convinced us and we know you can prove in stantly with the first application that it takes away the itch at once. EAT0N nDTTC Hn caecJ e.

A Sample Of Protection "Rot."

What is a Republican," asks the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and then
proceeds to answer it's own question
by saying: Among other things he is
a pr~otectionist, because he does not
believe in pauperizing American labor,
closing the American factory or stop
ping the American plow." There is no
tariff on foreign labor and it comes in
by the shipload free of duty to COM
pete with American labor. The pro-
tected interests do not divide their
tariff loot with labor and never will,
but, on the contrary, they buy their
labor as cheaply as they can get it;
hence it is that the mills and factories
of the Pittsburg district, the greatest
beneficiaries of the protective tariff,
are filled to-day with foreigners utter
ly ignorant of the country's language
and institutions. The high tariff does
not benefit labor at all, but the manu-
facturers only who r enabled by
it to plumber American consumers by
charging unreasonable prices in the
home market while selling their prod
ucts at a reasonable profit abroad in
free trade markets in competition with
the world.

REASON FOR POSTAL DEFICIT
Loose Business Methods of the Govern
ment at Washington Responsible
for Annual Loss.

1t should be borne in mind that
what President Taft calls the deficit
in the post-of1ce department is not
The post-ofice department is
earning a large surplus profit on the
business it carries on for it's patrons.
Even if all publishers .and private in

and printed material to make for con.

ton, and for the official business of
several hundred thousand people con
shutting the civil and military serv-
ices of the United States. 1t would
probably have to pay from seventy
five to a hundred million dollars a
year to carry on it's own postal bust
ness. Yet the books of the pOst-Ofice
department do not make any account
of this vast item. 1t is safe to say
that there is no other government in
the world whose postal department is
o credited with the expense it in
ours for handling the business of the
other departments. 1t is a scandal
and a public disgrace that business
should be done so loosely at Washing
ton that no post-ofice records are al.
lowed to show what it actually costs
to distribute the speeches of congress
men, the documents sent out from the
agricultural and other denartmeDtS
and the millions of letters relating to
government business. 1t is Just as
much a matter of government expense
to transport official documents as to
transport troops. The war depart.
ment makes record of the cost of
transporting troops, but no reports of
the post-office department indicate the
cost of carrying the governments own

BURDEN is ON POOR,
WHERE BRUNT OF GOVERN
MENTAL EXTRAVAGANCE FALLS.
M~onopoIists, Made MiIIionaires by Re-
publican Party's Tariff Policy,
Pay Nothing Like Proper
Share of Taxation.

Recklessness in expenditures is re.
%spOnsible for the ruin of many a
happy home. Extravaganza is a habit
that grows rapidly either in the fam
lily or in business.
This is likewise true of a city, a
state or a nation. The astounding
increase of expenditures at Washing
ton is due to the example of extrava-
gance in high places in recent years.
The present scale of national finance
is something to set poor men think
ing and increase the animOsity of
those who regard the rich as their
enemies.
Not so many years ago the Ameri-
can people regarded with apprehen-
sion the extravaganza of expanding
$4,000 a year for salary of the presi-
dent of the United States and upkeep
of the White House. To-day we ex-
pend annually $3.50. 42o for the same
purpose.
The presidential garage and stables
cost $4,000 a year, or more than 500
a day, to maintain. The greenhouse
supplies flowers for the presidents
table at a cost of $4,000 a year, or al
most $25 a day. How do these tx
penditures strike the man in the
street who earns perhaps two dollars
a day, and must support a wife and
two or three children on that meager
income?
Hundreds of eastern m~illiOnaires
have been made by the Republican
high tariff which gives them the priv
ilege of taxing the west for their pri-
vate profit. These rich men and their
families spend money like water for
their own comfort and amusement,
but do not pay anything like their
proportionate share of taxation.
The appropriations for expenses of
national government in 1890 were
$340, 000, 900. For the year ending
June 80, 1910, they are $1,044 ,014,-
29S.23. The two-dollar-a-day head of
e family of five pays, directly or in
directly, $62 of this expense bill.
Our national extravaganza is a re-
Election Of the individual extravaganza
engendered among the beneficiaries
of the tariff. It's burden is not upon
the bond-holding rich, but upon the
~wage-earning poor.

A Promising Opportunity.

What a chance is now offered the
writer OF political fiction. Pinchot's
defiance was only a part of the great
strategy. His dismissal releases him
from responsibility to the administra-
ton. The return from Elba need not
be hurried. There is now a direct rep
resentative on the ground available to
lead the revolution. The campaign for
1912 is in full swing. The ticket,
Roosevelt and Pinchot, is as good as
nominated. B%allinger, Cannon, the
water power trust, the Guggenheims,
ct ais, will furnish targets and make
1t possible to keep up the fireworks,
until the final spectacle of the charge
up the San Juan hill of protected mo-
nopoly is ready. 1t will be a Door

pening at Washington into this skele-
ton of a story.

People Want Investigation.

We do not believe that the country
will be satisfied with the apparent de-

smother plans for the Investigation

have been referred to committees and
it is intimated that none of them will

with questions that vitality affect the
public and the public has a right to
be furnished with the official and
exact facts concerning them.

Developing Another "Antlgus.'

Mir. George F. Beveridge the veteran mining operator, who has wrought many years in Sonora.

Beveridge netted $25,000 gold, and several netted more than $20,000 each, Is engaged now in developing another aIttjgta mine in the Terri. tory of Topic, about d thousand miles southeast from the interna. tional line at Nogales.
 The property now in hand by MT. Beveridge is the famous Cuintla mine, gold producer with "a record away back couple of centuries ago, located near Rasa- morada, about forty miles north- west from Topic, and within easy distance from the line ofthe South ern Pacific now building toward Guadalajara via Topic. In the old workings there are great cham bers from which the antigu08 ex- tracted great ore bodies, and Mir. Beveridge is running his new work to get in below with every prospect for finding there other ore bodies that will equal in extent and rich ness those extracted a couple of centuries ago.
 In the vicinity are the ruined stone arches of an aqueduct by which water was conveyed to a reduction plant in which the ores were treated by the patio process, being ground first in arrdStrds and the pulp was leached in the patios. The arraStras were driven by q water wheel that was attached to the end of the aqueduct and was turned by the falling water.
