Reciprocity and the Farmer.
JOHN 7. WALKER

Our corporation friends have turned
their attention from the American la
borer to the American farmer. They
tell him that reciprocity is bad for the
farmer. The Canadian reciprocity agree
ment will hit only those who are now
and have been for number OF years
past cornering the necessities Of life
and regulating the cost thereof, not by
the law OF supply and demand, but by
the height of the tariff wall. Every
effort at reform of the obnoxious and
unjust tariff regulations heretofore
maintained by the high protectionists
has been met by the cry that any tariff
reduction would serve to bring the
American laborer into competition with
the so-called pauper labor of Europe.
That cry successfully served the pur-
pose of frightening American working
men, and for years the tariff barrier
has been retained for the exclusive
benefit Of the corporate campaign con-
tributors and their associated industries.
The appeal to workingmen is ended.
Having discovered that they we're be-
ing continually deceived and cheated
the American consumer finally woke
up, and the result Of last November's
election tells its own story on the tariff
problem. Now that the reciprocity
agreement promises to open the doors
to the raw materials and food stuffs of
Canada, and to extend our markets in
the Dominion, the monopolists and
are seeking to array the
farmers OF the West agSinst the pro-
posed agreement on the theory that it
will serve to injure the American farmer
by putting his goods in competition
with the Canadian product. OF course,
as in the case OF the American laborer,
the purpose Of this sudden interest
in the farmer is more imaginary than
real. II the farmer would take home
with him copy Of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill and count up the cost it puts
upon him and weigh that cost against
his benefits out Of it, he would immedi-
ately petition not only for Canadian
agreement, but for the inn
mediate reduction Of the tariff wall to
It's original and reasonable height.

Shade Trees for Highways.

Some of the citizens Of Waycross,
Ga, short time ago, started an agita-
ton in favor of the planting of trees
along the public highways. The move
ment has progressed until many of the
landowners in Ware County, in adjoin-
ing counties also, have become inter-
ested. Half dozen or more of these
men, who are owners of extensive tracts,
have begun planting trees along the
roads which border or pass through
their lands. In most instances they
are setting out pecan trees at a distance
Of sixty feet apart, the idea being that
the pecans will be valuable for future
generations.
Trees along roadside add immensely
to the comfort of the traveller and to the
attractiveness of the landscape at those
seasons Of the year when travelling is
most general To the overland tourist,
or to those who must traverse the high
way for more utilitarian purposes, an
avenue Of trees in midsummer is as
the shadow Of great rock in weary
land.
When the roads were first constructed
it would have been a simple matter in
many localities to have left a row of
trees on each side, but this did not occur
to majority of our road builders. In
consequence there are many miles Of
highway almost utterly unrelieved by
anything in the shape OF tree.
The question Of shade trees for high
ways has been theme Of academic dis
cussion for long time, but in few in
stances has there been any tangible re-
suit. Some of the citizens of Georgia,
it appears, have arrived at the proper
stage of enthusiasm to supplant theoreti-
cal debate with practical work. As sup
Elementary to the good roads agitation
now prevalent in Georgia the tree-plant-
ing idea is commendable. Good roads
and shady roads form very desirable
combination, especially during such hot
weather as has prevailed lately over so
large portion of the United States. -

LEGGED interests. whose campaign contri-
buttons have been a most potent factor
in Republican ascendancy. The blow
administered TO the Administration at
the Congressional election has been with
out its Christening effect. For many
weeks the Administration was for quit
ting the job, but ambition and friends
worked steadily, and. while we have no
belief thatthe priyileged-class policy has
been abandoned, there is every reason
to feel that the time to make hay for the
public IS now, while the spell of further
honors is on the Administration
The Insurgent Republicans appear to
have lost tactical point. There is
nothing more clear than the reciprocity
agreement which the Democratic House
of Representatives has espoused, is in
full accord with the public demand for
a new, more reasonable, less unjust
tariff policy. While the Republican
Insurgents may have certain plausible
for the actions Of some Of
their members, Senator Cummins for
instance, the public impression must be
that political instruction is more
policy than principle. National

OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases OF the skin and

kind, three-fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and it
Is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect In infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin, ignorance Of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is skin disease. It is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious.
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning Of
the skin, causing loss Of sleep, is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and Is
caused by the bursting Of little vesicles
filed with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales. and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement Is added to
torture.
One of the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the Oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings Of Cuticura oint-
ment. For moro than generation,
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief Of all forms of eczemas, rashes,
feelings and irritations of the skin and
scalp. Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith in
everything may make trial Of them
without charge, liberal sample Of
each will be mailed free to any ad-

let, giving description and treatment
Of the various forms OF eczema, as
well as other affections Of the skin,

CHAPTER TX.
The HAND OF Fate.

Like a panther Nathaniel crouched
and watched the man on the steps.
His muscles jerked, his hands were
clenched; each instant he seemed
about to spring. But he held himself
back until Strang had passed through
the door. Then he slipped along the
log wall of the castle, hugging the
shadows, fearing that the king might
reappear and see him in time to close
the door. What an opportunity fate
had made for him! His fingers itched
to get at Strangs thick bull-like
throat. He felt no fear. no hesitation
about the outcome of the struggle

the harem he believed that the Nor
mon king had abandoned the castle
to its fate and that the approaching
conflict would center about the tenn
Pile.
Was Marion at the temple? If SO
he realized that she was beyond his
reach. But the woman had said that
she was not there. Where could she
have gone? Why had not Strang
taken her with his wives? In flash
Nathaniel thought of Arbor Croche
anu Obadiah-the two men who al
ways knew what the king was doing.
Ii he could find the sheriff alone
if he could only nurse Obadiah back
into sane life again. He thrust his
pistol into its holster. There was but
one thing for him to do and that was
to retcrn to the old councillor. 1t
would be madness for him to go down
to st. James. He had lost-Strang
had won. But his love for Marion was
undying If he found her Strang's
him. 1t would all be evened up when
he killed the king. For Marion loved
him-loved him
He turned his face toward Oba-
diah's, his heart singing the glad
words which the woman had spoken
to him back there in the sixth cham
Der
And as he was about to take the
i,rst step in that long race back to
the mad councillors he heard behind
him the approach of quick feet. He
crouched behind clump of bushes
and waited. A shadowy form was
hurrying through the grove. 1t passed
close to him, mounted the castle steps,
and in the doorway turned and looked
back for an instant in the direction of
st. James.
Nathaniel's lips quivered; the
pounding of his heart half choked
him; shrek OF mad, terrible joy
was ready to leap from his lips
There in the dim glow of the great
lamp stood Strang, the Mormon king
