BACK TO THE TARIFF.

We now know what ails the country,
what has allied it all along and what
probably always will all it. It's the tar
if. nothing more, nothing less. A num-
Der of republican speakers themselves
have said so. It's the only issue be
fore the country. While it is not yet
openly charged that it caused the war
the campaign orators are rapidly get
ting around TO that.
AS soon as a republican stump
speaker opens up on the tariff the at
mosphere becomes charged with a
thick. murky fog, and the longer he
talks the more impenetrable it be
comes, making ideal campaign condi-
lions. II was so last night.
Senator Sherman reasoned it out
something like this: The American
manufacturer has been so crippled by
the Underwood bill that he couldn't
export his goods. That caused a big
balance of trade against us. which
took the money out of the country and
brought hard times, and there you
are. Doesn't that make It perfectly
clear?
c G. Pinkerton of Monmouth gave
what purported TO be a history OF the
tariff, in which he endeayored to show
that everytime anybody who was not
q republican or a protectionist put his
finger on this mysterious institution
dire things began TO happen and Il ne
kept il there long enough the coun-
try had a calamity on its hands.
These efforts plainly failed to make
much Of a hit with the hundred or so
who heard them. The audience evil
IDENTIFY has expected something better
than that. The faithful ones had hoped
against hope tE-t the speakers would
drag a real live issue from some
where out of the political labyrinth
and land il on the stage where all
might get a look at il.
But there was no issue to bring
forth except the tariff which always
has been the paTty's bulwark in trying
lines like these and which must. il
seems. forever serve for that purpose. |
Hurrah for the tariff,

A NATION ON ITS KNEES.

BY his proclamation, naming sun
day. Oct. 4. as the day of general sup
plication. the president in his own
words. has recognized the especial
wish and longing of the people OF the
United States in prayer and counsel
and all sriendliuess TO serve the cause
Of peace" says the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger.
The purport OF the appointment OF
the day of prayer is felicitously stated
by the president Ito take action which
shall prove conducive to that concord
among men and nations without which
there can be neither happiness nor
true friendship nor any wholesome
fruit Of toll or thought in the world"
His effort for the worlds peace was
shown in his attitude in the patient
vigil he kept in every exasperating
circumstance TO maintain a benevolent
aloofness toward the comSatants in
Mexico. Some of those. VINO. at the
time, wanted belligerent action have
come to a different way of thinking
as they have read the tale told in
Europe from one hideous day TO an
other. II must stir even the consci-
brands to know that thousands of
miles away a nation is on its knees in
prayer that the peace of God which
passeth understanding may once more
prevail.

ADVICE TO FARMERS.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside, Herbert Quick, editor of that
publication. gives the following ad-
vice 10 the American farmers:
The first effect of the European
war is not favorable to the American
grain and fCodstuffs markets. The
lack of ships and open harbors dams
up shipments on this side of the Wa
ter and causes a temporary glut.
How long this will continue no one
can predict. 1t may have passed by
the time this reaches our readers, or
ii may be at its height. But low prices
on this account cannot last.
The readjustment will take time.
but people must eat and be clothed,
and we of the United States must
feed and clothe them. Let the fan N
ers keep their heads and hold their
produce for the restoration OF freight
service. Don't give away the food
stuffs TO the spectators. Great for
fumes will be made in grains and meats
in this eventful year.
Every one of us should resolve to
make as much out of his own produce
as possible Keep the cotton, wheat.

L. Y. Sherman. republican candidate

mad. He and his editors and political

When Bob Elliot became engaged to
Kate Winston society smiled. BOD
was known to be In a chronic state OF
betrothal, and Kate was considered the
queen of firts. Everybody supposed
the affair between them to be
game on both sides and wondered
which would come out winner. 1t was
not believed that anything very serious
had resulted from the escapades OF
either, for both had the reputation OF
getting out of their entanglements
without being very much blamed.
Just what was the real intent with
reference to each other of Bob Elliot
and Kate Winston they alone knew.
There was the usual skirmishing, with
a proposal and an acceptance. Quite
naturally after her betrothal Kate thus
addressed her fiance:
81 am much concerned, Bob. about
this engagement between u.s. You see,
it is very serious matter for girl
like myself, who has not yet seen much

beam ends, remained silent He had
nothing more to say in his defense.

II mean that it's no use for the pot to

Am [ to infer from that slangy ex-
preston that l have any such reputa-
ton as you?"
Not at all; my reputation is all
right"
There was a pause during which
Miss Winston seemed 10 be turning the
matter over in her mind. Finally she
said:
u think this affair had better stop
right here"
Come. come sweetheart" taking her
hand and putting an arm around her
waist. Suppose we stop fencing and

The Bugs in Grandfather'S Che st
Drady,n.D.

Why do so many elderly people have
chronic winter coughs" chronic bron-
chitis?
1t is a familiar fact that with in
creasing age there is a general de-
bility, a lowering of vitality, a tenden-
cy for the vital fire TO shoulder. This
renders the body more vulnerable to
infection-and we now know that
every case of bronchitis, acute or
chronic. in child, or in adult, is due 10
bacterial infection.
The one great factor of bronchitis
in elderly persons is secondary TO low
cred vitality; in short, it is coddling.
By coddling we mean excessive cloth
ing and insufficient outdoor life-both
of which conditions are the result of
the inefficient circulation in elderly
persons. IL is but natural for one who
feels the cold. or suffers a. chilly SEN
sation on the slightest exposure TO cold
or damp. to remain indoors near the
fire or to attempt to keep warm by APP
plying an excessive amount of cloth
ing.

gers. Is the lively and amusing &C
count of young, English lord who en-
deavors to insure himself against a
lady's changing her mind. Lloyds. the
concern he consults, is well known as
an insurance company of true gam
bling instincts. but even Lloyds is as
tonished and almost dismayed at the
young mans proposition. Mr.. Jephson,
the underwater, however, is well ac-
quainted with the young lords father
and has every faith in the narrowly
blood. The proposition is accepted
and Richard Minot, young, pleasant
an 5nice lookinEmember of bloyds' New
York staff, is dispatched to be ever in
attendance when. the youthful lord
sets forth to join Cynthia Meyrick, the
charming lady. whose change of mind
would mean a great loss to Lloyds.
Lord Harrowby is in love with Miss
MeyriCk. And at about this point
Richard Minot begins to be the hero.
OF course he falls in love with Cynthia,
thus endangering the firm in the mat
ter, and other happenings occur with
gratifying celebrity. The book has
wonderful possibilities as a farce and
it has perhaps been written with that
