WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE

II began to have an itching over my
whole body about sever years ago and
this settled in my limbs, from the knee
to the toes. l went to see a great many
physicians, a matter which cost me a
fortune, and after l noticed that I did
not get any relief that way, I went for
three years to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there, I used
all the medicines that I could see but
became worse and worse. l had an
Inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When / showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. I did not know
what to do. I was SO sick and had be-
come so nervous that I positively lost
all hope.
Il had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for / had already used SO
many medicines. Finally I did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and /
tell you that / was never SO pleased as
when I noticed that, after having used
two sets Of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en-
tire Inflammation had gone. I was
completely cured. I should be only
too glad IL people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth. I would only recommend them
to use Cuticura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,

and a resolution was passed demand
ing that slavery be permitted to exist
in territory north Of the Missouri COM
promise boundary and %instructing the
senators to vote accordingly. Benton
denounced this resolution as treason
able and refused to obey it. He said
it did not represent the sentiment OF
the people of the state and he appealed
from the Missouri legislature to the
Missouri people. The struggle was bit
ter and intense. AS Benton was up
for reelection, it being the close Of
his fifth term as senator, the effort
was to control the legislature which
was to elect the senator for the fol
lowing term. Neither side obtained a
majority of the members and a dead
lock resulted to be broken by the anti
Benton Democrats combining with the
Wings and bringing about Benton's
defeat.
The old warrior was not dismayed
and kept up the fight. In 1882 he was
sent to the lower house of congress
from st. Louis as a Union Democrat.
For thirty years he had been absolute
dictator in the politics of Missouri.
His word was final, and his wishes
law, but the tide had turned, and for
the remaining years of his life set
steadily against him. Yet at no time
in his career does Benton present a
more inspiring figure than when, with
his back to the wall, crowded on every
side by foes, he continued to battle for
the principles he believed in. By COM
promising and by trucking to the pub
lie sentiment of his state he could
have regained his seat in the senate,
but he would have lost the love and
admiration due the brave man who
prefers defeat with the right to vic
tory with what he considers wrong.
Benton's mannerisms we're marked
and did not tend to make him popular
with the masses. He seemed egotis-
teal to the point of ~absurdity, yet in
him it was merely exaggerated self
respect. To the casual observer stern
and pompous, he was gentle n ten
~der-hearted to those who knew him
well. His public and private life were
above reproach. His high n OF
honor as a public servant, his incor-
ruptible integrity, his unwavering ad-
herence at whatever cost to the prin-
ciples he believed in, his powerful in
tellect and his aggressive energy com
bined to make him a fighter eminently
qualified to lead and represent the
militant people of the West In the first
half of the last century.
He was defeated for reelection to
the house in 1854, and in 1856 became
the candidate Of the Union Democrats
for governor, and ran third in the
race, He was now IA years old, but as

for a protective duty on lead, which
was largely produced in Missouri. In
this he made the mistake that has
been made by SO many senators and
congressman of this day, who say they
oppose protection, but vote for pro-
lection on the products Of their own
states, thereby placing themselves in
the position Of not being able to sue
cessfully question the justice Of the
demand of those in other states for a
larger share of protection for them
selves.
After the election of Andrew Jack
son to the chief magistracy Benton be-
came the right arm of that great presi-
dent. In the attempted notification
Of the tariff laws by South Carolina,
Benton made effective Jackson's ulti-
matum to that state demanding sub
mission to the law, by engineering the
passage of a compromise tariff bill
which stopped everybody from talking
of fighting, but satisfied nobody.
Fought united states Bank.
Jackson's greatest battle was
against the United States bank, which
he declared must either be put out of
business or 1t would run the govern
ment. Benton led this fight in the
senate. He brought up the question
In 1881 by submitting a resolution to
the effect that it was not expedient to
re-charter the bank. The war against
the bank ragged fiercely for years. It
had many powerful adherents and OBJ
tanned the support Of a number OF
members of congress, as was shown
later by investigation, through what
amounted to brazen bribery in the
way Of favoritism on loans. In the
midst of the fight the presidential cleo
ton Of 1882 took place and Jackson
was triumphantly reelected. Shortly
after this Jackson made an order with
drawing the public funds from the
bank. This precipitated a tremendous
public uproar and the senate adopted
a resolution censuring Jackson fol
the act. Benton Immediately began {
fight to expunge this resolution from
the record, and finally, in the last day
of the Jackson administration, the mo
ton prevailed amidst great excitemen
and the resolution Of censure was ex
