Beverlt Mass, August president

with Representative William b. Nc
kinley, of Illinois. chairman of the
Republican Congressional Campaign
Committee. Mr.. Mckinley. who Is
about to start the congressional cam
paign, told the President that he alb
solutely had no doubt that the next
House would be Republican. He based
his belief on the fact that the Mid
die West is engineering bumper crops.

sure to recuperate before fall some
congressional districts that they lost
two years ago. This will happen. he

also thinks that in New York. for In

this fall. and Mr.. Mckinley also looks
for the election of a Republican to
succeed Foss. in Massachusetts,. who
took the seat made vacant by the
death of Lowering, Republican.
Mr.. Mckinley told the President that

THE REAL QUESTION
ovERsHADoWING ISSUE OF THE
CAMPAIGN.
Effect Of Democratic Victory at the
Polls 10 Here Made Plain-Some-
thing for Republican Voters
to Ponder Over.

The arrogance of Democratic lead
ers in not only assuming that they
will control the next house OF repre-
sentatives but In declaring that they
will pass tarifY-for-revenue-only bill
makes this an issue that overshadows
every other question OF the campaign.
Whatever difference OF opinion there.
may be concerning the present tariff
there can be none from a Republican
standpoint united Republican
notwithstanding a tAriffor-rev-
enue-only-which means free trade. or
worse than free trade.
We must have government reven-
ues annually amounting to over $780,
000. 1000. nalf of which must come from
customs duties-in other words we
must so adjust our tariff az to bring
N 335. .000. 900 from duties on imports.
We-can do as Great Britain does. tax

sired revenue.

SOC. 100000 and that does not include
imports free Of duty and with a large
ly increased free list such as Is prom
ised or threatened by Champ Clark
& Co.. we may well put the estimate
OF imports at 5000. 900. 900. a large
portion of which will replace or drive
out American production. And fur
ther bear in mind that 80 per cent.
OF this represents labor.
One-third to one-half or our work
ing men are thrown entirely out of
work at once, and the wages OF those
remaining at work must be most sub
stantially reduced. That loss Of pur-
chasing power hits the farmer who
realizes no profits on his years work.
and he stops buying all luxuries and
many necessaries. Then the railroads
are affected. and men must be laid of

of merchants and ruin and want in

But the closing Of factories and the
reduction of wages is not all that fol-

Getting Down to the Facts.

Our Democratic friends are saying
that II the Democratic party comes
into power 1t would reduce the ex-
pense Of this government $300,000.-
000." says the president. DO they
mean that the Democrats would abol-
ish the pension list? Do they mean
that they would give up the navy and
disband the army? Do they mean that
they would abandon Porto Rico and
the Philippines? Let us have little
specification. What are such state
ments worth unless the details Of the
expenditures that they criticise and
expect to avoid II they are let into
power and become themselves the

WISE WORDS.
A Physician on Food.

A physician, OF Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
Il have always believed that the
duty Of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick, but that wc
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health. especially by
hygienic and dietetic laws.
With such feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure in saying to the
public that in my own experience and
also from personal observation l have
found no food equal to Grape-Nuts,
and that find there is almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases of sick
ness and convalescence.
1T Is my experience that no physi-
cal condition forbids the use Of Grape
Nuts. To persons in health there 10
nothing SO nourishing and acceptable
to the stomach. especially at break
fast. to start the machinery of the hui
man system on the days work.
I'm cases Of indigestion know that
q complete breakfast can be made Of
Grape-Nuts and cream and think it II
not advisable to overload the stomach
at the morning meal. l also know the
great value Of Grape-Nuts when the
stomach is too weak to digest other
