Republican candidates for congress
and are unwilling to contribute to
the funds of democratic candidates,
is that the Republican party is the
party Of excessive protection. Tariff
revision upward means increased
prices, and the tariff trust know that
they can collect from the people in
new profits whatever sans they may
invest in the Republican campaign
funds.

CLEAR CUT
EXPLANATION OF Why PRICES HAVE
INCREASED NLAST FEW YEARS.
tBy clyde i Tavoaner.j


Washington, Sept. 80, Especial. -
When the Payne-Aldrich bill was
before the Senate, blind Senator
Tom T. Gore, Of Oklahoma. staked
his reputation that if the measure
was passed, extreme high prices
would follow.
The prophecy was fulfilled. Az
erage PRICES rose more than n per
cent from June to December, 1909.
The prices Of steel trust common
stock more than doubled in six
months in 1909.
It Is the history Of all protection
list countries that tariff revision up
ward means increased prices. 1t
is not generally realized how rapidly
the price Of tariff-protected. articles
rose after the passage of the Ding
ley law in 1897 From July i,
1897, to January I, 1900, the first
three years following the Dingley
law, the cost of living advanced 81
per cent or at the rate of per cent
"a year. More trusts were formed
during this than during any other
similar period in our history.
The price Of wire nails rose from
si.s6 keg, in August, 1898, to
1888, in December, 1899 100 per
cent in. is months.
The price of barb wire rose from
sl.65 per 100 pounds, in August,
1897, to s4.lS, in December, 1899
-l5O per cent in two years.
The price of window glass rose
from $l.75 box, in April, 1897, to
$3.50, in April, l9ol-l75 per cent
in years.
The Dingley taritfmlde the trusts,
and the trusts put up the prices.
But few, if any, trusts we're formed
during the three years of the COM
mratively low duties OF the Wilson
bill.

man, will not make its report recon-.

ANOTHER CASE OF LARCENY.
The national Republican platform
of 1892 contained the following par
agraph:
1--WE denounce the efforts of the
Democratic majority of the House Of
Representatives to destroy our tariff
laws piecemeal, as manifested by
their attacks upon wool, lead, and
lead ores"
Times have changed, Republican
candidates for Congress, upon the
advice of President Taft, are now
advocating and promising tariff re-
vision "piecemeal'' with the intima-
ton that the schedules enumerated
will be the first ones tackled, In
other words, the Republicans have
adopted another Democratic idea.
WHY MEAT is HIGH,
Thirty-fve per cent is the amount
of profit Armour & Co., forced the
public to pay last year. This be-
came known through bond issue OF
$50, 900, 900 on the stock exchange.
The company by its own showing
made a gross profit of Slo,5S9, 900
for the year 1909 on a capital stock
of $40, 900, 900 and earned a surplus
of 81, l27, 996, or the equivalent Of a
dividend of $50 per cent. As the
price of beef was boosted with the
beginning Of 1910 it would appear
that in the opinion of Armour s. Co.
$50 per cent profit on capital
stock is not ample, even though the
commodity involved is one of the
necessaries Of life. Armour s. Co..
is one of the beef trust firms which
enjoyed perfect immunity from pros
ecution by the federal government
until Federal Judge Lands of Chi
cago, an insurgent, forced the taft
administration to take cognizance Of
the fact that the beef trust was il
legally holding up the public.
THE POSTAL BANKS CHEAT.
Twelve hundred and fifty banks in
various parts of the United States
already have made application to the
postoHice department to be designat-
ed repositories for postal savings
funds, and 64S postmasters have
made requests for the establishment
of postal savings banks in their
Offices. About so per cent of the
applicants will be disappointed,

THEY |NJURE CHILDREN
Ordinary Cathartics and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in
the selection of medicine for chill
dren. Only the very gentlest bowel
medicine should ever be given, ex-
cept in emergency cases. Ordinary
pills, cathartics and purgatives are
apt to do mole harm than good.
They cause gripping, nausea and
other distressing after-effects that
are frequently health destroying and
life-lasting annoyance.
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy
for constipation and associate bowel
disorders. We have such absolute
faith in the virtues of this remedy
that we sell it on our guarantee of
money back in every instance where
it fails to give entire satisfaction,
and we urge all in need of such
medicine to try it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies contain an en-
tirely new ingredient which is oder
less, tasteless and colorless. AS
an active agent, it embraces the val
liable qualities of the best known
intestinal regulator tonics. =.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten like
candy. They are parti c u larlyI
prompt aud agreeable in action,
may be taken at any time, day or
night; do not cause diarrhea,
nausea, gripping, excessive looseness
or any other undesirable effects.
They have very natural action
upon the glands and organs with
which they come in contact, act
as positive and regulative tonic
upon the relaxed muscular coat of
the bowel and its dry mucous lin
ing; remove irritation, overcome
weakness, tone and strengthen the
nerves and muscles, and restore the
bowels and associate organs to more
vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies completely relieve
constipation, except when of sur
gical character. They also tend
to overcome the necessity of con.
stantly taking laxatives to keep the
bowels in normal condition.
There is really no medicine for
this purpose 50 good as Rexall Or
derlies, especially for children, aged
and delicate persons. They are pre-.
pared in tablet form, in two sizes Of
packages: IL tablets 10 cents, and
So tablets rs cents. Remember
you can obtain Rexall Remedies in |
Bemidji only at our store, The |
Rexall Store. Barker's Drug Store. |
