DOOM OF PROTECTION
TRUSTS NO LONGER TO BE Al.
LOWED TO PLUMBER.
Reign Of Sanity Seems About to Be
Restored, and Consumers Will
Profit-TempIe Of the "lnter-
ests" Is Falling.

In adopting reciprocity by a vote OF
fifty-three to twenty-seven, the senate
completed the first successful assault
upon the citadel of protection. The
fight against the high tariff is most
auspiciously begun.
The protective tariff system has al
ways been a kind of give-an-take prop
o%sition, due to an agreement among
the privileged interests to maintain
the status quo. The interests are no
longer able to maintain the balance
of power" Plutocracy's plunderbund
is broken. Babylon is fallen. The
walls of Jericho are cast down. Cana
dian reciprocity has sounded the death
knell of the protective tariff system in
the United States.
when reciprocity passes," declared
Senator Dixon of Montana, the other
day, Il am ready to start revising the
tariff, and it will not be confined to
the wool schedule and the farmers
free list" This from a high priest of
protection. He continued: 81 am
ready to take the whole thing from
A to z, and, so far as | am con-
cerned, l am ready to give 1t a re-
vision that will not be a homeopathic
one"
Let one of the pet interests suffer
and it will demand vengeance against
all the rest. The interests whose priv
ileges are destroyed by limited free
trade with Canada will see that other
protected interests suffer for their fall"
ure to come to the rescue. IF | can
not rob your neighbor, you shall not
rob mine" That is the prevailing
sentiment now, as it has always been.
The protective tariff system was never
anything but an armed neutrality
which maintained tariff schedules in
obedience to the dictates of various
local interests. Nobody ever was or
will be willing to submit to taxation
for the benefit of somebody else. He
must have his quid pro quo. me
protective tariff advocate was never
sincere. He was willing to authorize
tariff spoliation only because he could
share the proceeds of the robbery.
The spell is now broken. Harmony
is gone. The wedge has entered. The
camel's nose is in the tent and the
whole body will follow. Canadian rec
iprocity is the beginning of the end
for the high-tariff system.--St. Louis
Republic.

STRONGER THAN NEAT
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired a jul
dicial turn Of mind from experience
On the bench out in the Sunfower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value Of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in u
bill of fare.
THE crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my family's
everyday life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive OF
disease 1t is beyond value. / have been
particularly impressed by the benefi-
cial effects Of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to its nutritive qualities. my ex-
p~erience is that one small dish Of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which Is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. IT sat

Battling the Mosquito.

Last summer we were pestered with
the awful nuisance, mosquitoes, night
killed between thirty and forty in our
bedroom, at midnight. The following
day l took a wooden cloth, put a little
kerosene oil on it, and rubbed both
sides of the wire mesh Of the screens
with it. That night one lonely mos
quito disturbed our rest. Two or
three times each week l rubbed the
screens in like manner, and we en-.
joyed peace the rest of the summer,
The odor from the oil remains only a
few minutes, and the oil itself pre-
serves the screens and keeps away
fies.-Good Housekeeping Magazine.

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
Itched So He Could Not Sleep

"On July 27, 1909, we left Boston for
trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being in Ireland
few days nasty rash came out all
over his body. We took him to a doc
tor who gave US medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form Of a
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. It
irritated, and he would scratch 1t with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, and we were
afraid 1t would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition was due to change Of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better. and 1t used to
Itch and burn at night SO bad that the
child could not sleep. He was COM
pletely covered with 1t at different
times. 1t was at this time that my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur
ther trouble with baby's skin. Moth
ing stopped the itching, and allowed

CLAIM SUGAR TRUST
IS ROBB|NG PEOPLE
BUSINESS MEN OF MERlDEN,
CONN.,, SAY PIRATES SHOULD
BE SENT TO JAIL.
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT TAFT
Signers Think Price of Commodity
Has Been Increased by Trust to
Cover Fines to Which It Was
Put for Robbing Government.

New York City.-An appeal to
inent business men of Meriden, Conn,
and Just made public, states that in
the belief of the signers the price of
sugar has been increased by the trust
to cover the fines and legal expenses
to which it was put when it was con-
victed of robbing the government.
Recent Investigations have shown"
says the appeal, that from corset
springs under the scale beams to bri-
berry of United States officials nothing
has escaped the notice of the sugar
trust that could be used to rob the
people.
Asks Jail Sentence.
The letter, among the signers to
which is DR.. E. w. Smith, a classmate
of the president at Yale, calls atten-
tion to the fact that the price of sugar
has nearly doubled since the adjourn
ment of congress. He refers to re-
cent attempt of trusts to do business
in Canada and then being stopped,
and says: I'VE admire the splendid
spirit of the Canadian officials. The
Jail Is the place to punish trust pi-
rates. Fines have no more effect than
shot blown from bean blower" The
president is urged to put the secret
service and the department of JUS
tice after the trust until its hide is
stretched on the wall" Frank G.
Lowry, of the Federal Sugar Refining
Co. and secretary of the committee of
wholesale grocers, formed to assist
in obtaining cheaper sugar for con-
sumers through reduction of duties on
raw and refined sugar, said:
Talks on Speculation.
"You and l will both be dead when
sugar beets and cane sugar are raised
in this country to give us the neces.
sary supplies of sugar. We must de.
pend therefore on the countries in
which sugar can be raised for less
money. We must import sugar, but
why must we be forced to pay 78 pei
cent. duty on this when we pay only
| 80 per cent. duty on wheat and 10 pei
cent. on diamonds. We need sugar
for life. To the average family oi
five persons S24.4S a year Is paid the

per cent. of the sugar we consume, in
Guiding what we get from cane ir
Louisiana and from cane and beets II
the United States. The drouth which
has prevailed in Europe this summer
has seriously damaged the growing
of beets and the crop will be 100000
tons short. Stimulated by this news
speculation has set in and carried val
ues to an unusual level. Speculation
has probably overdone the thing"
