not sulk in our tents and become
soured. We must rally like mcl

SOME FORMS OF RHEUMATISM
DURABLE

Rheumatism is a disease character
lied by pains in the joints and in the
muscles. The most common forms are:
Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, Rhen-
matte Headaches. Sciatic Rheumatism
and Lumbago. All of these types can
be helped absolutely by applying some
good liniment that ~penetrates. An ap-
plcation of Sloan's Liniment two or
three times a day to the affected part
will give instant relief. Sloan's Lini-
ment is good for pain, and especially
Rheumatic pain, because it penetrstes
to the seat of the trouble, soothes the
afflicted part and draws the pain.
:" Sloan's Liniment is all medicine. -

finally awoke, the corruptionists took

were sent to the pen%itentiary.
Now that the mayor of Terre Haute
and twenty-six of his associates have
been convicted of election frauds,
which carries a prison sentence, the po-
litical atmosphere viii be cleared in

years to come, or until the people
again drop asleep and permit their
politics to be run by gangsters.

CANADA IS DUMPING STEEL
RAILS INTO U. s.

What is there scientific in the Unit
ed States Tariff The Algoma Steel
company, at the Canadian 500, has in
the past couple of months sold $4,000
tons of rails in relatively small lots to
our railroads in the Central West, and
has just booked a single order for
$4,000 tons of rails for the Illinois
Central, making a total of 10000 tons
of rails which will come into the
United States duty free under the
present law.
There is no price agreement on rails
in the United States. The railroads
and the rail mills are both of the opin-
ion that for the safety of the public
no attempt should be made to make
rails too cheap and that the efficient
method of attaining the best possible
rail at a reasonable and fair expense
is to have a standard price, $28 for
Bessemer and $50 for ~open-hearth
rails, and then compete to get the best
rail that can be secured for the price,
with extras for cases in which a rail
road for special service desires a rail
of extraordinary quality.
Now our unseientifc Tariff
and places rails upon the free list. The
Canadian rail mill, deprived of its nor
NAL Canadian market through the con-
ditions prevailing in Canada, looks
across the border and decides, rather
than rave Its plant idle, to make such
sacrifice as may be necessary in order
to take a tonnage in the United States
In the case of the $4,000 ton Illinois
Central order the price quoted seems
to have been figured out with the most
scientific nicely. The price delivered
Chicago was $27.40 for op~en-hearth
rails. The American price is $50 fob.
mill, meaning in the case of the Hi
nois Central, about equal tonnages
from the Chicago district and from
Ensley to reduce freights to the mini
mum. The apparent difference of $3.50
must include additional freight on
about half the imported rails, so that
the actual saving to the purchaser by
importing rails is probably between 81
and $3.50, probably the precise amount
needed to overcome patriotic scruples
as the Illinois Central officials may
have had. We have no desire to call
these officials unpatriotic. Surely the
congressional majority and the admin
istration are patriotic and they are
responsible for free rails. If the lii
nois Central officials had refused to
save from $4,000 to $4,000, which on
paper they seem to be saving, they
might hare been held accountable by
the federal government through the
have heard from several sources that
there have been limitations that re-
fusal to buy Canadian rails at a lower
price would be looked into by the com
mission.
Here is a concrete result of the
American Tariff. Can anyone show
how the people of the United States, or
any part of them, have been benefited
by the Illinois Central episode7 How
the country as a whole has been injur
ed it is quite unnecessary to point
