How 4 Meaning Changes.

"Cbeat" Is word that now has .
very ugly sound. To cheat a man ~ to
defraud him. Originally the word con-
veyed no such meaning. The old word
'escheat'' referred to the dues that fell
to the crown 1t came from the French
cchoir u.aiin. excadcrel. The modern
meaning that attaches to the word tells
a sad tale of the cxtortion and greed
that must hare been practiced in col
lectinG the 'nes.

Senator Dash of Tallapoosa prided
himself OF his rise from the bottom.
for Senator Dash in his youth had
worked with the colored men in the
cotton fields.
Boosting at a political meeting
about his rise, the senator singled
out Uncle Calhoun Webster among his
audience and said:
"I see before me old Calhoun Web

southern sun, / toiled day after day.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, l appeal
to Uncle Calhoun. Tell us all, uncle.

STOMACH MISERY vANISHES
Indigestion, Gas, sourness and Dys-
pepsia Go and Your Stomach Feels
Fine in Five Minutes.

II your meals don't tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill
you, or lays like a lump of lead in
your stomach, or If you have heart
burn or a sick, sour, upset or gassy
stomach, that is a sign of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case Of Pape's Diapepsin and take a
little just as soon as you can. There
will be no sour risings, no belching
Of undigested food mixed with acid,
no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness
or heavy feeling in the stomach, Nau-
sea, Debilitating Headaches, Dizzi-
ness or Intestinal gripping. This will
all go. and besides, there will be no
undigested food left wei in the stom-
ach to poison your breath with nause-
odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is certain cure for
out-of-order stomachs, because 1t pre-
vents fermentation and takes hold of
your food and digests it just the same
as II your stomach wasn't there.
Relief in five minutes from all stom-
ach misery Is waiting for you at any

to thoroughly cure any case Of Dys.

President Taft's straddIe.

The dispatch announcing the presi-
dents attitude toward the question of
government effort to distribute the
export and import trade more widely
says:
THE president does not believe 1t
10 be the part of the government to
Introduce artificial barriers to prevent
this natural flow of trade"
If, then, the president does not be-
lieve In artificial barriers to prevent
this natural flow of trade, it is not
unreasonable to wonder why he be-
ieves In the part of the government
TO prevent any natural flow of trade.
And yet, as a Republican and a pro-
t~ectionist, this is precisely what he
does believe. Some of the schedules
IN the best tariff law that was eyer
passed" are, indeed, so high as almost
10 stop the natural flow of trade. The
effect of this is to compel us to manu-
~sacture, under the most adverse cir
,umstances, and at great expense and
inconvenience, articles which we could
import more cheaply If there were no
such barriers, and to tax the whole
people heavily to support an industry
employing a few men who could be
much more proftably employed in
some industry that was natural to the
country.

FIT TO SERVE THE PEOPLE
Re~Iuvenated Democratic Party In a
Position to Execute the VIII
Of the Voters.

What a wonderful and quick regen-
Grafton has been wrought in the Dem
ocratic party in this year, when its
opportunity and the country's need
~conspired to raise It from its low con.
oition and to inspire 1t with wisdom,
with capacity, and with couragel OF
political revolutions like this of the
year OF 1910 the country has seer
more than one. But never did the
victory OF a Congratulated opposition
bring to the fore a finer group of new
leaders than those upon whom the
eyes OF the country are o turned
with interest, with expectation, and
with trust. Plaisted, Foss, Baldwin,
DIX. Wilson, Harmon, these are the
able, sane, and wise new leaders who
out OF the body of the Democracy. by
the choice of the Democracy in its
own party councils, were put in the
forefront of the battle Against in.
trenched Republicanism, and to their
support the voters have nobly rallied,
10 them and to their party they have
given a splendid victory. The vital
lty and the recuperative power of the
democracy shown in 1874, in 1884, and
In 1892, have again been exhibited
this year. 1t has once more become
the better instrument for executing
the peoples will. 1t is well for the
country that there are now two we'll
organized parties.

The American Economist reprints
In Its issue Of Oct. 20, with certain
comments, a letter which appeared
In the New York Times of Oct. IL,
opposing the protective principle.
In defense of protection it says:
BY stimulating and developing pro-
duction it ~cheapens production. In
1881 all our tin plate was imported,
and 1t sold here at 1914 a box. ( Soon
after the Mckinley tariff put on a
duty OF az cents a pound, the price
dropped to $3.50 a box"
A more audacious perversion of the
truth was never penned. In 1890. &C.
cording to the Statistical Abstract, the
price of foreign tin plate imported to
this country was not 1894 a box but
80 a box. The foreign price has never
been more than $3.50 a box from 1884
down to the present time, If the Sta
tistical Abstract figures may be relied
upon. OF course, the transportation
charges, amounting to about 10 cents
a box, would have to be added to get
the New York price. Furthermore,
for six years after the passage of the
Mckinley bill, the price of domestic
tin plate was from 81 to 50 above the
price of imported plates in bond. Then
the difference began to declin,s, and
for some years 1t seeRed an if the
consumer was about to get a square
deal, but directly after the passage of
the Dingley bill a trust was formed to.
control the output, and since then the
prices have been kept up to about the.
same margin about the foreign price
level.
1t has cost the people of this coun-
try from $3.50, 600, 900 to 5000, 900, 900
in overcharges in the last 20 years to-
protect this one infant industry. A.
more unfortunate example of the
blessings of protection to the people
could not be cited.
