He is a man that will fill to the

The present day mode of living
has raised havoc with stomachs.
A tired, overworked stomach or.

other faulty methods of living,

People so affected, and there
are thousands of them in cities

nervous and easily tired. They
are worn out after a little exer-

overworked vital organs, which

TWO KINDS OF HIGH WAGES

TT rs significant that the Democratic
i Administration is very much in favor
OF high wages. It seems to recognize
that the American workman, whether in
a mill or on a railroad. wants a good wage
for his labor. So It proceeds TO legislate
such wage into the pocket Of one class.
Doubtless 1t would like also TO legislate
a higher wage into the pocket OF every
worker. But even Congress knows that
cannot be done. II would not be eonsti-
tutional, and certainly. the economies Of
the situation would not permit. Pros
perity cannot be legislated into a coun-
try in that fashion,
But contrast with the Democrat method
OF procedure the method Of Republicans.
I'VE shall not try" says the protection
list, ito decree a particular wage TO any
man. The Industrial fabric would soon
break down under such a system. But
we do propose 20 enact such tariff laws
that American manufacturers can AFFORD
to pay maximum wages. We do propose
TO prevent the competition OF American
labor with pauper labor We do propose
to assure a domestic market for domestic
products at faiE price" And the higher
the wages Of the mill worker the higher
the wages OF those about him.
In the one case we have high wages
decreed for a special class by special
enactment; In the other case We have
laws devised 70 produce an economic sit.
uation which viii induce fair wages
automatically and naturally, with the
benefits well diversified ana reaching an
