DEAFNESS Cannot Be Cured

By local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
this inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness (caus-
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured

aroused on occasion.
Among the callers at 'be White
House one day was an Office who had

had prepared an elaborate defense Of
himself, which he consumed much

he had finished Mr.. Lincoln replied
that even upon his own statement of

and considerably crestfallen, the man
withdrew.
A few days afterward he again
called upon the President and went
over substantially the same ground.

listened to another repetition of the

POTfC0| Comment.
The Party Demands Peace.

Both the President and the country
want the Republicans in Congress to
stop wrangling and go to work. In
its platform of 1908 the Republican
party made certain promises in re-
gard to legislation, and an attempt
must be made to carry them out. A
start was taken in the special session,
by the enactment of the Payne tariff.
That act is giving an excellent account
of itself. 1t is furnishing more reve-
nue. than the Dingley law afforded, and
at the same time it is giving ample
protection to every important interest
which needs any That act will aid the
party in the congressional campaign of
1910 and i'm the Presidential canvass OF
1912. Threats were recently made by
the Democrats that they would attack
the Payne act in the campaign this
year, but the chances now are that they
will say very little about it. The Re-
publican campaign managers would
welcome an assault on the tariff by
the Democrats. 1t would give the Re-
publicans an issue which could be re-
lied on to win tens of thousands of
new votes for them in every industrial
State A Democratic attack on the
tariff in the campaign this year would
make some of the roclI-ribbed Demo
cratic districts of Alabama, Tennessee,
North Carolina and Louisiana decided
ly doubtful
The tariff. however, was only one OF
the promises made by the Republican
platform of 1908. AS far as practic-
able. all of them must be carried out.
And they cannot be carried out unless
a reasonable share of unity is main.
tanned in the party. Mr. Taft has a
decided interest in keeping the Re-
publican line unbroken. So has the
entire country Only by the preserva-
tion of peace in the party can it hope
to win in the elections next Noyem-
ber The Democrats have neither in
telligent leadership nor a policy which
appeals to any considerable number of
the progressive people of the country
Nevertheless, any serious split among
the Republicans might take away
enough seats in the coming election
to place the Democrats in a majority
in the House. If the country should
seriously believe that Democratic
victory would come in November bust
ness would get setback which would
quickly diminish the volume of our
industrial activities. Only by the
maintenance of Republican sway can
the trade rally be continued. Every
body remembers the prompt forward
movement of industry which greeted
the Republican victory in 1908. That
was an assurance that the country
would have sane, progressive legisla
ton for at least four years longer
But a Democratic triumph in 1910
would destroy this hope. 1t would
moreover, carry a portent of Demo
cratic victory for both President and
Congress in 1912-St Louis Globe

New England shoe manufacturers,
having complained very bitterly Of the
extreme costs of materials, succeeded
in getting the following paragraph in
the Payne tariff bill against the loud
protests of the cattle raisers:
Hides of cattle, raw or uncured,
whether dry, sailed or picked, shall
be admitted free of duty"
The Dingley law had charged duty
Of 10 per cent on hides. The manu-
lecturers were still not satisfied. Hav-
ing the influence of Cannon and Al
drich and most of the Eastern repre-
sentatives with them, an attempt was
made to maintain the Dingley tariff
on shoes, which was % per cent.
There was lot of juggling. A most
ingenious joker got into the bill But
some one caught sight of it and it be-
came one of the points over which
Mr.. Taft baked when the measure
was in the hands of the conference
committee The paragraph having to
do with hides now reads, in addition
to the quotation above
Provided that on and after October
first. nineteen hundred and nine. grain,
buff and split leather shall pay duty
of seven and one-half per centum ad
valorem; that all boots and shoes,
made wholly or in chief value of leath-
er from cattle hides and cattle skins
of whatever weight, of cattle of the
bovine species, including calfskins.
shall pay duty of ten per centum ad
valorem."
The National Boot & Shoe Manufac-
turers' Association met in New York
and decided upon an increase in prices
of at least 10 per cent on all grades.
The public is told that this is made
imperative by the high cost of materi-
ais.
The lower. duties upon pulp paper
caused Canada to start putting an ex-
port tax into effect which counteracts
any possible saving TO consumers OF
paper and robs the government of just
so much revenue lie lIull STOWeIS
of California obtained an increase in
the tariff on lemons and the railroads
Immediately raised rates SO as to alb
sorb the profit And here the shoe
manufacturers, after pleading for low
er duties on raw material, in order
that the poor public might not have to
pay more for footgear, blandly raise
the prices. They also defy the COM
petition with Europe made possible by
lower custom rates.
The figuring of economists is never
more awry than in dealing with the
tariff question. Low duties do not
necessarily mean low prices to con-
sumers and an open door for foreign
goods does not prevent trade associa-
tions from debating increases in their
wares. The principal free trade argu-
ment is made ridiculous by half
days meeting of group of industrial
magnates Toledo Blade.

Verses ON Woman.

Trivial as it may seem, the verse
penned by Lincoln when he was II. at
the time Of his sister Sarah's marriage
to Aaron Grigsby. may give some in
sight into his lifelong estimate of the
attitude Of man toward woman. These
are the concluding verses:
THE woman was not taken
From Adams feet we see;
so he must not abuse her.
The meaning seems to be.
The woman was not taken
From Adams head we know,
TO show she should not rule him
IT'S evidently so.
THE woman she was taken
From under Adams arm,
SO she must be protected
From injuries and HARM"

The Hon. George ID. Wise, former
Congressman from Virginia. tells his
friends an interesting story about Lin
coin. Ia the spring of 1861 Mr.. Wise
and two other young Southerners. one OF
whom stood six feet four, were attending
school in Washington. The morning the
news OF the firing on Fort Sumter reach
ed them. they decided that it was their
duty to return At once to Richmond, their
home and enlist in the Southern casse.
rs Mr.. Lincoln was to give a public re-
ception that night. young Wise proposed
that they attend. TO see what sort of man
the President really was.
No" said the tall fellow. Il for one
wont so near the rascal
But" urged the third youth. who at
once fell in with the suggestion. there
is going to be war. and Mr.. Lincoln will
undoubtedly rise to great prominence. We
really owe it TO ourselves TO know some

after the argument had gone on for a

reception tonight, and you are going with

The upshot of the matter was that the
three young men went to the reception
and lined up with several hundred others
to greet President Lincoln. OF the three
friends the tall fellow stood first in line,
with his hands held resolutely behind his
back.
"I'll CO. he had finally said, 'but I'll
never shake hands with him"
Slowly the three Southeraers passed UP
with the line until the tail fellow stood
opposite the President. His two friends
waited breathleSsly for the expected or
the unexpected they scarcely knew which.
The President reached out his hand.
The tall fellow, with his hands still be-
hind him. looked the President straight
in the eye and with Il proud toss of the
head, passed on without taking the out
stretched hand.
Across the sad face of the President
flashed a look of surprise and inquiry,
and then a merry twinkle leaped to his
eyes, as he half-divined the cause of the
slight.

as the tall fellow was passing on. "How

the President; and then and there. before

THE OLD VALENTINE.

No knife can cut our love i'm two"

Though faded now-my hearts delight
Methinks / see the golden hair,
The eyes that held me in their snare;
And from the past almost divine,
She speaks through this old Valentine.
Aye. from the past so deeply yelled,
Beyond whose mists our barks have
sailed
Steals forth hand that seems to write.
Upon this SAME old page tonight
AS once twas writ, that homely rhyme,
SO mercilessly touched by time
The rose is red. the violets blue.
No knife can cut our love in two"

That robes the sky for me and you.
