A Reasonable Plea
 For the Stomach
If Your Stomach is Lacking in Digestive Power, Why Not
 Help the Stomach Do Its Work?
Especially When 1t Costs Nothing to s Try

Not with drugs, but with reinforce ment of digestive. agents. such as are nat urally at work in, the stomach? Scien- tific analysis shows that digestion re- quires pepsin, nitrogenous ferments. and the secretion of hydrochloric acid. When Your food fails to digest. it is proof posi- tive that some of these agents are lack ing in your digestive apparatus.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain nothing but these natural elements neces- sary to digestion and when placed at work D in the weak stomach and small intes- tines. supply what these organs need They stimulate the gastric glands and gradually bring the digestive organs back to their normal condition.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been subjected to critical chemical tests at homo and abroad and are found to contain nothing but natural dgestives.

For The Farmers.

Don't forget that potatoes
sold for II cents a bushel in the
Fall Of 1910, and for dollar
and over in the Fall of 1911, all
under the same political admin
istration of the government.
The reason for the price of II
cents. was that more potatoes
We're grown than the people
could consume. Result. low
price.
In 1911, the potato crop was
a failure in many sections of the
country. and. as a consequence,
there were not half enough po-
tatoes grown to supply the de-
mand; therefore the price of
potatoes went up and up until
the new crop of 1912 from the
South reached the Northern
markets for distribution. Big
prices ruled early this summer,
until the immense crop raised
in Virginia and further South
was marketed. Our potatoes,
which were shipped early, also
brought good prices, bat when
the market was glutted. they
dropped as low as 81 % a barrel.
AS soon, however, as the Nir-
ginia crop could be distributed
over the country from Philadel-
phia, New York and other CEN
tres, the price of our potatoes
advanced to - 80. and over. a
barrel.
What is true of potatoes is
true of everything the farmer
grows. 1t is a question abso-
lutely of SUPPLY AND DE-
MAND. The population of the
country has increased so that
the supply of wheat, corn and
vegetables is not sufficient for
the needs of the people, there
fore good prices are obtained
for these products of the soil
High prices will continue for
them, no matter what political
party is in power, so long as the
demand is greater than the sup
ply.
On the other hand. our farm
ers have TO pay whatever the
Republican protected trusts
charge them for farm machin
cry, farming implements, cloth
ing, shoes, fence wire, and
nearly everything else they
have to buy. This is unjust
and unreasonable.
The remedy is to vote for
Wilson and Marshall.

Express Graft Again.

The Interstate Commerce
commission, in its report on the
express business, sets forth that
while the express companies
pay dividends on a capitalize.
tion of sl06. 600, 900, they have
an actual capital investment of
less than s7.000,00O Their chief
asset is their contracts with the
railroads, which contracts are
little more than licenses TO rob
the people. Express rates in
this country are ten times what
they should be on some classes
of merchandise, and as much
Of their traffic is in food stuffs,
the tremendous benefits they
enjoy adds directly to the high
cost of living.

Why Roosevelt?

Some one will wonder why
The Messenger has been SO ac-
tive IN its opposition to Roose-
welt. rather than let his follow
ers in this county go on and
gain all the Roadway possible,
to the detriment of the Repub-
lican party. The fact is. we
regard Roosevelt as an insane,
dangerous, demagogue, and we
cannot retain our self-respect
and feel that we have done our
duty to the public we serve, if
we do not warn it against him.
The gain of political advantage
is nothing in comparison with
this duty. All dissatisfied Re-
publicans, and there are hun
dreds of them in this county,
who are dissatisfied with the
Bossism in their party and the
policies which make the poor
poorer and the rich richer, can
do a good deed on the coming
election day by voting for Will
son and Marshall-the Peoples
nomineesfo President and Vice
President of the United States.
In doing so they will be voting
for the policies of government
so blatantly claimed by
Roosevelt as HIS policies. but
which he failed to carry out
during the seven years he occu-
pied the Presidential chair
and absolutely dominated Con
gress.
When the people have given
man such an opportunity to
serve them and he has fooled
and failed them, he is no longer
worthy of trust and confidence.

All Get Together.

If the pin heads in Baltimore
will stop quarreling about who
shall run the Democratic cam
paign, and all get together, they
will be acting with a little bit
of common sense-a thing that
seems to be scarce among Bal
timore City politicians.
A primary election was held
throughout the State recently.
for the purpose of electing dele
gates to the State Convention
of the Democratic party. The
delegates to that convention,
elected by the people, selected
Mr.. Nandiver as chairman of
the Democratic State Central
Committee. Mr.. Nandiver is a
Democrat who has directed the
battles of the party for years.
While many persons might
think a change is needed, il is
very evident that the delegates
sent 10 the convention Dy the
voters of the Democratic major
ity. think differently. There
fore, it is party patriotism and
good common sense to shut up,
and to get busy about carving
Maryland for Wilson. Mr.. Van
diver, and every regular Demo
crat in the State, can be de-
pended upon to do his duty;
now let those who vote the Re-
publican ticket two-thirds of
the time, and want to run the
Democratic party the other
third, prove their right To be
Democrats by supporting the
nominee of the Democracy
cheerfully, and following the
leaders selected by the party.

Democrats Will Rule

Face to face with the realiza-
tion that a Democratic admin
istration is coming into power,
and knowing that this will
mean the end Of the tariff pro-
lection privilege under which
they have plundered the people
for nearly a score of years, the
tariff trusts are going to take
one final gouge into the pocket
books of the people before they
are pushed away from the
troughs of special privilege at
which they have grown fat.
The leather trust, which is
largely owned by the beef bar
ons, has announced that the
price of leather is to increase %
per cent. This increase is at
tributed to the greater demands
of the automobile manufactur-
ers for leather. This demand
is no greater now than it has
been for the last three or four
years, and those who are famil-
lar with trade conditions say
the excuse given by the trust is
only a subterfuge. The increase
will mean another boost in the
price of shoes, which will mean
that hundreds Of thousands Of
people, especially women and
children, who are unable to pay
more than they are now paying.
will have to use a cheaper
quality of footwear.
The cloth manufacturers
which means the wooden trust
also have announced an in
crease in the prices of cloth for
fall and winter deliveries. The
price of wooden cloth, il is an
nounced, will go up all the way
from five to twenty cents a
yard. This increase is made
necessary. the trust managers
say. by the wool shortage here
and abroad, and by the increas-
ed cost of labor.
Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1912-08-03

Ii will be recalled that inn
mediately after the Lawrence,
Mass. strike last winter the
wooden trust announced an in
crease of fifteen per cent. in its
products. The excuse was that
this had TO be made in order to
meet the demands of the work
ers. The mill men. women and
children who had been work
ing for SIS, 50 and s. a week
were granted an increase of five
per cent which meant only a
few cents additional each week
to them. and to meet this in
crease the price of cloth was
boosted fifteen per cent. In
this way the wool trust owners
were able to make the consum-
ers pay, not only the increased
cost of labor. bnt all the ex-
penses of the strike as well. so
that dividends, far from being
1883 vi dt(Ouui VI tiiO Ctithts
were actually greater as re-
suit thereof.
Both of these announced in
creases are purely arbitrary.
There isn't the slightest excuse
for an increase in the prices of
either leather or clothing, and
the only excuse for either is the
inordinate greed of the trust
owners. These men know that
after next year they will have
to climb down from their high
perch. from where they have
been directing their wholesale
robbery of the people, and for
that reson they are preparing
to get the last dollar possible
for themselves before their
special privilege graft comes to
an end.
