A St. Louis chemist, after many years of careful experimenting and investigation, has discoverede a simple remedy that has cured hundreds of cases of eczema that had been pronounced Incurable. This chemist believed that eczema and all itching skin diseases were of local origin and were caused by germs which attacked and fed on the skin. He began to search for a remedy that would destroy these germs, and found that by combining the active principles of certain well known vegeteable drugs, and applying | them locally, the first application stopped th e itching and burning, and if used persistently would drive all germs and their poisons t othe surface of the skin and destroy them, leaving a nice, clear, healthy skin. He gave this remarkable remedy the suggestive name of Zemo, and since has proven a very popular remedy and is today recognized the most successful and meritorius remedy ever produced for the relief and cure of eczema and all diseases of the skin and scalp. Mr. Falk, the druggist, recommends and endorses Zemo and says he believes Zemo to be an honest medicine and will do all that is claimed fir it. o WARNING.

KERN NOTIFIED (Continued from page 3.) This dominant leadership is now cir culating two kinds of campaign litera tore —one being designed for the Easl and the other for the West —the firsl being placed in the hands of the trusi magnates, tariff beneficiaries, stocl gamblers, and others who are sup posed to be enemies of the President declaring that Mr. Taft is “sane ant safe,” free from the faults of Roose velt, while the second goes to the bus inoss men, the farmers’ and laborers who are presumed to be admirers of the President, and declares that Tafl is Roosevelt’s “double” and may bt safely counted on to insist upon his policies, and see that they are carried out. This leadership of the Republicai party, responsible for all the political ills from which the country now suf fsrs. is satisfied with the party’s nom inees, giving them active and substan tial support, all the while shouting the praises of Roosevelt in the West and South, and him and his polkales to the privileged “interests” out of which they are "frying the fat” with which they hope to carry the election. The question of tariff taxation Is one of vital Interest I am in hearty accord with our platform declarations on that subject. The Republican candidate for Vice President, in his recent speech of acceptance. lauded the Dingley bill and declared that when enacted It was well adapted to existing conditions, but proceeded to add “that the developments of industrial prosperity in a decade, which in volume and degree have surpassed our most roseate expectations, have so altered conditions, that in cer tain details of schedules they no longer In every particular mete out justice to all.” For these reasons he declared In favor of a readjustment “based on the broad principles of protection for all American interests alike for labor and capital, for producers and consumers.” The hundreds of thousands of American workingmen who are now vainly seeking employment, were doubtless delighted when they read about that “industrial prosperity” which so “surpassed our most roseate expectations.” In thousands of American homes, families will gather about dinner tables which tor many months Lave not been encumbered with a beefsteak, and indulge in “roseate expectations” of their own. American manufacturers whose factories are idle by reason of a restricted market, and whose business has been crippled by reason of the high tariff tax on raw materials, will read this speech with peculiar satisfaction. If by reason of the high tariff tax provided for in the Dingley bill, factories were opened and labor given employment at remunerative wages, and our “roseate expectations" realized, why should we now, when factories are closed and an army of men unemployed, seek to revise that beneficent measure at all? If the wages of labor depend upon a high tariff, why should any man favor a reduction of that tariff? If, after eleven years of surpassing prosperity, brought about by the Dingley bill, business languishes and labor Buffers, why not excite some more “roseate expectations" by raising the tariff rates, to the end that there may be a much-needed revival of business, and that labor may again find employment? The voters of America are not likely to be deceived as to the tariff question, by the stock arguments of the opposition. The average voter understands that the tariff really is a tax to be paid by the consumer of the article taxed. He knows that taxes In excess of the needs of the government are unjust and oppressive, and that extravagance In governmental administration. Indulged in for the mere purpose of creating a necessity for additional taxation, is profligacy. He 1b also coming to know that the use of the taxing power of the government in such ways that a few beneficiaries may enrich themselves by levying tribute upon the masses, is legalized robbery. Every legitimate business interest in the country is demanding tariff reform. The manufacturer who is not a monopolist is demanding cheaper raw materials gad a wider market for his products. The workingman understands that a restricted market means fireless furnaces and enforced idleness He knows that American workingmen with their superior intelligence and ingenuity, with their Improved machinery, with cheap raw materials and earning for their employers more than twice as much as the laborers of any other country, have nothing to fear from competition with workmen anywhere, when the products of their labor are set down side by side in the markets of the world. The American workingman has had bitter experience 1 under the operation of ths Dingley bill. 1 Under the shelter of this tariff wall.' trusts and combines have sprung up on every hand, and with extortionate prices confront the consumer on every hand when he seeks to buy the ueuee- j saries of life. Under this system the cost of living so Increased as to absorb the earnings of the laborer, after the most rigid economy and self-denial on his part and that of his family. And it is a noteworthy fact that when, as an inevitable result of the fiscal policy of the Republican party, the panic of. 1907 came. hundreds of thousands of

these American laborers were thrown out of employment, and instead of being able to draw upon the fabulous savings bank aceounts so exploited in political literature in recent campaigns. found themselves and families in a state of destitution. The soup-houses of 1907-8 In the large cities of the country, were a realization of but a part of the "roseate expectations” of Republican statesmen. The farmer understands that while he has to buy everything in a protected market, where, on nearly every purchase. he is compelled to pay tribute to the trusts and tariff beneficiaries, he Is compelled to sell his products in a free-trade market, where he comes in competition with all the rest of the world. He looks no longer with indifference upon the fact that the farmer of Canada. Argentina, Australia and other civilized countries buys agricultural implements of American manufacture cheaper than they are sold to him. In these days American farmers read and think, and are fully advised as to the •rils of a system wMSf tavitee sne£ enormities Thinking people ot *8 rises vs an becoming Interested ta the moral aspect of this question. The fluid sat, in vigorous language, baa pointed oat the evils which have grown out of the existence of “swollen fortunes," the most of which have been amassed by the beneficiaries of this system. Senator La Follette, in a speech delivered in the Senate last March, exhibited a list of less than one hundred men who, he declared, controlled the industrial life of the nation, and held In their hands the business of the country. A casual reading of this list show’s that it is made up of men who have been the beneficiaries of legislation or favorites in the administration of the law. The President rails against swollen fortunes as menaces to the public welfare and as promotive of evils which eat at the very heart of society. At remedies he has suggested an income tax and an inheritance tax, that their growth may be to some extent checked. The national convention of his party was silent npon the question of these proposed reforms, while the possessors of most of these swollen fortunes, allied as they are with the dominant forces of the Republican party, are giving generous support to the Republican national ticket. The Democratic party, while favoring the reform measures repudiated by the Republican national convention, has another remedy. It would, by legislation, in large degree cut off the streams of money which under the present system are flowing from every home in the land and emptying into the coffers of the trusts. It would leave in the pockets of the producers and laborers of this country every dollar of the money they earn, save only such amounts as may be needed for the economical administration of the government. It would, by rigorous law enforcement, strike down private monopolies which prey upon the people, an,d protect the public against extortion and imposition by the great public corporations, whether by excessive charges or by over-issue of stocks and securities. In other words, it would undertake to bring about in government, a realization of that good old Democratic maxim of Thomas Jefferson, “Equal and exact justice to all men; special privileges to none.” It has no war to wage on capital. It has no quarrel with corporations honestly capitalized, which carry on a legitimate business, according to law. It will encourage the investment of capital in the development of the country and protect it w-hen Invested. It will draw a sharp line between lawful business lawfully conducted, and unlawful business, or business carried on in defiance of law and the rights of the public, protecting the one and protecting society from the other. It calls upon men and corporations lawfully engaged in legitimate business, not to ally themselves with men or corporations engaged in lawless ventures, but to take a stand with the Democratic party in favor of such reforms as will purge the business world of lawlessness and legalized extortion, to the end that honest capital and honest labor may go forward hand in hand in the development of the country, each yielding to each its just due in a spirit of fairness, and all striving for the time when the door of opportunity shall be open to all who desire and deserve to enter. I will not at this time discuss the several planks of the national platform. I endorse that platform in all its parts, and pledge my best endeavors toward securing the reforms to which the party is by its terms committed. As the campaign progresses I shall discuss its various features, from time to time, as opportunity presents. There was perfect unanimity in the convention as to the adoption of this declaration of principles. Men from every state, distinguished for their ability and patriotism, prepared, and presented it as a platform upon which ' all American voters, who a-e in fav< r of the rule of the people, can conscientiously stand. Gentlemen, we enter upon this campaign with every prospect of success. Never has a political platform been received with such favor by all classes of people, and never has a candidate been presented by any party who was •loser to the hearts of the people than our matoMess standard-bearer, William J. Bryan. There Is. v movement amongst the

people for better govemmenFwhich is growing in force day by day. It is confined to no one party, but men of all parties, all trades and occupations are coming together and making common cause in behalf of a restoration of a government of the people, for the people, and by the people. We must and will win this battle without the use of money or the aid of corporate power. If our adversaries so desire, let them pursue that course. But there are times in the life of a nation like this when money and coercive influences are of no avail. There comes a time when the quick, ened consciences of an enlightened people impel action which neither money nor Influence can check. That time, in my judgment, is here. Let every man from this hour forward. perform his duty in a manly and honk-able way. Let this be a campaign of education and argument. Let our appeals be to the reason and patriotism of the American people. Let ns be vigilant and unceasing in honest work for a righteous cause, and a glorious victory In November will •rown our efforts.
