Coal Barons Greedy.

Preparations are being made
to add $15,O00,O00 to the nations
coal bill this winter. Each one
of US must contribute our pro
rata to the fortunes of the coal
barons. There is no reason or
justice for the extent of the in
crease, except that the millionaire
coal kings want the money and
are in a position to- make the.
people either ''come across" OF
freeze.
The coal operators, who have
been forced to grant the miners
an increase in wages, which they
say will mean an additional cost
of 100000 in labor, are going
to force the consumer to pay
sufficiently high price for Goa
to enable them to stand this in
crease, along with an additional
extortion of 100000 whicl

Thus for every dollar IN increas

propose to collect this white

K~eeperless Lighthouse on Main Coast
That Needs Attention but
Twice a Year.

The inverted eask which for more
than half a century has surmounted
the spindle on the top Of the pyra-
mid of rocks known as "the monu-
ment" in Belfast bay, marking
Steele's ledge in Maine waters, has
given way to a little "keeperless
lighthouse"-an automatic acetylene
gas light, which kindles itself as the
sun goes down, and goes nearly out
in the morning, requiring no atten-
ton for six months, when the stor-
age tanks must be renewed.
Many gas buoys burn all day and
all night, but this light is governed
by a unique Swedish invention
known as a "sIm valve" which con-
trolls the flow of gas to a pilot jet.
With the rising temperature Of day
light the flow is cut off. OF course
on cold and cloudy days the valve
does not act as positively, but the
saving in six months is considerable

kind on this part Of the Maine coast

The clearing house was shown
to be composed of fifty New
York banks. No bank with a
capital stock amounting to less
than l 100000 is eligible to
membership.
Mr.. Scherer's testimony re-
yealed a system by which the
New York banks gouge the
country banks and their clients
ont Of millions.
He said that it cost 7 cents per
$1,000 to collect the cheeks oil
country banks. The Clearing
House, he said, collects 70 cents
per "a, 900, or ten times the real
cost.
The average charge per day
for collections is about S3U,UUU. l
amounts to about $50,000,OO0 a
year. From this Fleeing pro
cess the fifty banks comprising
the clearing house association
extorted sufficient tribute from
the country bankers last year
to enable each of the fifty New
York Banks to pay an s per cent
dividend OF their capital stock.
Thus it becomes apparent to
every fair-minded person why

financial magnates to bitterly

Washington Letter.
By Tavenner.

Why is the Republican party
beset by its present difficulties2
This question can be answered
with one word-Tariff.
The tariff was originally EN-
ployed to meet the demands Of
the Civil war. To raise war
expenses the, government found
it necessary to tax every article
manufactured in this country.
The manufacturers justly com.
planned at this. They said these
taxes were 50 heavy it would
ruin them, because they could
not pay the heavy internal taxes
on their products and meet for
eign competition. Foreign man
ufacturers were driving Ameri.
cans out Of their own markets
by undersellmg them.
So a plan was devised to
protect the American manufac-
tur6rs.

all imported articles said the
government, (which will put you

tective system was to be but

over, the taxes on the products

When you suffer from any form Of
Indigestion it is always well to take
something for the liver, as usually the
trouble lies there, If you are bilious,
have a bloated feeling after eating. II
you belch, if your skin is yellowish
you may be sure it is liver trouble.
What you need is something to stir
I'D the liver, to arouse the gastric
juices so that they will aid in the di-
gestion Of your food. A very good
remedy for this, and one highly rec
commended by those who have used
it, is DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin,
which you can obtain Of any druggist
at fifty cents or one dollar a bottle.
But if you have any doubt about its
merits, and would prefer to try it
first. send your address to DR., Cald-
well and he will promptly send you a
free sample bottle.
