Immediately the change appeared,
the people began to complain of Pc
ru-na. They generally thought the
druggist was to blame, that their bot
tie of Pe-ru-na had been tempered
with. This made bad feelings between
the users of Pe-ru-na and the drug
gists. The druggists In some cases be-
came irritated and angered and made
complaint to the wholesalers and man.
ufacturers. Thus the trade was tenn
porarily in an uproar. 81,
After year of explanation the trade
quieted down and the new Pe-ru-na
took its place in the drug stores as a
popular household remedy And yet it
has not attained the popularity that
the other Pe-ru-na had. Changing the
formula of Pe-ru-na was equivalent to
introducing new HleulClle INTO the
drug trade. an extremely difficult
thing to do now days.
Pe-ru-na as it is made today Is a
very excellent remedy for catarrh and
general catarrhal ailments. 1t is for
sale in all drug stores and has a
slight laxative effect, very much need
ed in these days. 1t seemed to me
that 1t was in many ways better ren-
edy than before. Yet in spite of all
explanations there is a considerable de-
mand for the old Pe-ru-na as 1t used
to be made.
I have authorized the formation of a
company to manufacture it, under the
trade name OF Ka-tar-no. The Ka-

In response to great many queries l
wish to make public statement concern
ing the sale of Pe-ru-na.
No, we are not selling as much
Pe-rusna as we used to. The reason for
this is the change in the formula of
Pe-ru-na.
The patent medicine business is very
peculiar and particular. A person who
has been in the habit of taking patent
medicine will notice very quickly the
slightest alteration in color, taste or
effect. 1t does not look as it used to, or
smell as 1t used to, or have exactly the
same taste as it used to. 1t does not
feel exactly the same in the stomach as
before. The medicine will be promptly
returned to the drug store and new
bottle demanded.

TuE THIRD PARTY

There is a new party which 1t IL
difficult to characterize because 1t IL
made up of several elements. AT
see it 1t is made up of three ele'
ments in particular. The first con
sists of those Republicans whose
eonsciences and whose stomachs
could not stand what the regular Re-
publicans were doing Added to this
element are a great many men and
women OF noble character and elevat-
ed purpose who believe that this CON-
bination of forces may in the future
bring them out on a plane where
they can accomplish those things
which their hearts have so long de-
sired | have no word of criticism
for them. Then, there is third
element in the new party of which
the less said the better. To discuss
1t would be interesting only If |
could mention names and have for
hidden myself that indulgence. We
have in this party two things, a po-
litical party and body Of social re-
formers.
Mr.. Roosevelt puts forth an adj
mirable platform of what he would
like to do for the people; but how
is he going to do it? He proposes In
his platform not to abolish monopoly,
but to take 1t under the legal pro-
lection Of the government and to reg
ulate it; in other words, to take the
very men into partnership who have
been making 1t impossible to carry
out these great programs by which
all of US wish to help the people. 1t
is perfectly idle to talk Of doing
things when your hands are tied for
you 80 long as the men who now con-
troll the industry of the country con-
tinue to control 1t. Now, we don't
want to disturb the industry of the
country, We are not here to destroy
the industry which these men have
built up. But we are here to destroy
the control over the industry Of other
people which these men have estab-
llshed and which makes II impossible
that we should give ourselves free
field of service.
There are two programs. The DEM
ocratic program is this-to see to II
that competition is so regulated that
the big fellow cannot put the little
fellow out OF business, for he has
been putting the little fellow out OF
business for the last half generation.
The program Of the third party Is to
take these big fellows that have been
putting the little fellows cut Of bust
ness, and regulate them, saying.
that is all right, you have put the
other fellows out Of business, but we
are not going to put the little fellow
back where you DESTROYED them, but

errand aimed at the liberties of the
colonies; and | have often heard
since that day men speak OF the en-
battled farmers at Lexington. Well,
there are going to be embattled farm
ers again in this history Of this coun-
try, not with guns in their hands, but
with ballots in their hands, who are
going to come back and claim the
sovereignty they share with the
rest of the people OF the United
States.
don't want anything say to be
understood as embattling the farm
ers against any other legitimate in
terest in the country because our
task at the present moment Is the
task of understanding one another
so thoroughly that there will be only
one cause, only one purpose, and men
acting together can live all the levels
of our political life.
The farmers OF this country are
in a very interesting position. | have
seen the interests OF great many
classes specially regarded in legisla-
ton, but must frankly say that
have never seen the interests of the
farmer very often regarded In legis-
lation. And one of the greatest i'm
positions upon the farmers of this
country that has ever been devised
Is the present tariff legislation of the
United States. have not heard any
body but orators ON the stump say
that the tariff was intended for the
benefit OF the farmer When the
United States was the granary of the
world, the farmers were not looking
for protection and while they we're
not looking everything else had du.

thing that they had to use was

wish to disayow all intention of sug-
costing to the farmer that he go in
and do somebody up. All that | am
suggesting to you is that you break
into your own house and live there.
And | want you to examine very crit
ically the character of the tenants
who have been occupying 1t. The
rent has been demanded of you,- and
not OF them. You have paid the mon
ey which enabled them to live In
your house and dominate your own
premises.
The tariff intimately concerns the
armer of this country 1t makes
great deal of difference to you that
Mr.. Taft vetoed the Steel Bin. II
makes a difference to you in the.
cost of practically every tool that
you use up on the farm; and 1t is
very significant that a Democratic
House OF Representatives passed the
Steel Tariff Reduction Bill over the
Presidents veto. The farmer pays
just as big a proportion of the tar
iii duties as anybody else.
What happened in Congress which
has recently adjourned? The House
of Representatives, with the acqui-
eseence Of Senate which is not

The tariff question, as death will
in our time has not been business
it has been politics. Tariff schedules
have been made for the purpose Of
keeping as large number as pos
sible of the rich and influential man

which desired their constant finan
cial support. The tariff has become

mess, only when the partnership
and understanding it represents Is
between the leaders of congress and
che whole people of the United States
instead of between the leaders oil
Congress and small groups of manu-
fatcurers demanding special recogni-
ton and consideration. That is why
the general idea of representative
government becomes a necessary part
of the tariff question.
What has the result been? Pros
perity? Yes, if by prosperity you
mean vast wealth no matter how
distributed, or whether distributed at
all, or not; il you mean vast enter
prlses built up to be presently con-
centrated under the control OF
comparatively small bodies of men,
who can determine almost at pleas
ure whether there shall be eompeti-
ton or not. The nation as nation
has grown immensely rich. But what
Of the other side of the picture? 1t
is not as easy for us to live as 1t
used to be. Our money will not
buy as much. High wages, even when
we can get them, yield us no great
comfort. We used to be better OF
with less, because a dollar could buy
so much more. The majority Of us
have been disturbed to find ourselves
growing poorer, even though our
earnings were slowly increasing.
Prices climbing faster than we can
push our earnings up.
Moreover, we begin to perceive
some things about the movement Of
prices that concern us very deeply,
and fix our attention upon the tariff
schedules with more definite de-
termination than ever to get to the
bottom of this matter. We know
that they are not fixed by the COM
petitions OF the market, or by the
ancient law OF supply and demand,
but by private arrangements with re-
gard to what the supply should be
and agreements among the producers
themselves. The high cost OF liv-
ing is arranged by private under
standing.
This is the natural history OF such
tariffs as are now contrived, as 1t
Is the natural history of all other
governmental favors and OF all IL
censes to use the government to help
certain groups of individuals along
in life. The fact is, that the trusts
have been formed, have gained all
put complete control of the larger
enterprises of the country, have fixed
them high so that profits might be
rolled up that were thoroughly worth
while. and that the tarlff, with its
artificial projections and stimulations
gave them the opportunity to do
these things, and has safeguarded
them In that opportunity.
