A WAIL. I wonder if the grievance of a bumble prlvite resident Could reach the sympathetic ear of our im- , pulslve President? I’d like to make a strong protest against the baneful crime That seems to have resisted well the gnawing tooth of time. Of paying to our Congressmen ten times more than they need For traveling expenses (sic) and also for their feed While on the way to Washington, poor, over 1 burdened men, And back to their long-suffering constituents again. It's 20 cents a mile each way, and was adjusted sot A long and tedious century and sixteen years ago When they must go on horseback or by stage or eke on foot, And even then one-half of it was pure and simple loot. Indeed, the times we’ve fallen on are sad in the extreme When bribes and graft and looting are of daily news the theme: When trusts and corporations and combines and such devices Conspire to put the wages dowa and put up all the prices; When prodigal extravagance is fostered in high places, Despite the curbing influence of all the Christian graces; When SSOO inkstands for some unknown reason must Be actually furnished to our servants in high trust. And when nothing’s too expensive our official to fill. Providing always, mark you, that the country pays the bill.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capital. 41 Prom our special correspondent: The foes of the Pure Food law have showed their hands in the Senate by introducing a measure striking out all but the enacting clause of the Heyburn bill preparatory to substituting for it a bill prepared by the National Food Manufacturers’ Association. Now a national pure food law has been long and urgently needed. It touches every man, woman and child in the country, especially the children, and it is a law that no honest manufacturer has anything to fear from. It has been urged by all state food authorities and by all of the agricultural colleges of the country. The Heyburn Bill was drawn under expert advice to fill this particular need and it put the execution of the law into the hands of the Department of Agriculture where it would be enforced. It also made the Department of Commerce and Labor, the Treasury Department and the Department of Justice parties to its administration. It was not a measure that any manufacturer of impure food liked, and as they did not dare to fight it in the open, they have prepared a substitute which will be so placed that it is likely to die of inanition. The substitute measure while on the face of it more drastic even than the Heyburn Bill, leaves a beautiful outlet for every retail dealer in misbranded and adulterated foods by requiring that the label and the name of the shipper shall appear only on the box or create in which the goods are shipped and not on the packages sold to the consumer. One can easily see how parentally protective a law of this sort would be. It also provides against publishing the names of firms misbranding and adulterating foods and thus robs the law of the greatest of all safeguards, namely publicity. The measure has not yet come to a vote. But there is bound to be a lively fight and the manufacturers have a strong lobby engaged in trying to push their measure through

Shippers of live cattle who would gladly make an extra penny out of the sufferings of their dumb victims, have encountered a strong obstacle in the House in the shape of the Humane Societies which are trying to block what would be a disgracefully inhuman law. Cattle shippers aie limited by statute to 28 hours as the longest haul to which they can subject stock without rest, food or water, This law was for years a dead letter. But it has been enforced by Secretary Wilson for two years past and the shippers are feeling the pinch of it. They are now trying to get the time extended so that they can haul cattle 36 hours without rest, food or water, claiming blandly that the cattle suffer lets in this way than through the additional handling to which they would be subjected were frequent stops made. This is pure sophistry and is designed to make the run just as long as it can be itaade without actually losing on the weight of * the beasts shipped. The’r sufferings are nothing. It is merely a question of making the greatest possible profit out of them. If the decent minded men and women who are urging a reduction instead of an extension in feeding time have their way, it will result either in the shippers

being forced to put on cattle cars with feeding and watering attachments or better still ’in moving the slaughter bouses from Omaha and Chicago nearer to the cattle raising centers. The Beef Trust is largely indifferent to the outcome of the fight. It does not have to pay for shipping the cattle and if the extra expense to the seller forces the trust to pay a trifle more for beef, it will come out of the consumer's pocket anyhow. Of course should the slaughter houses have to be moved, it would entail some additional expense that would have to be made up out of the seller and the consumer combined. But the question of the humanity involved is a mere detail that would never have received a thought bad not this fight been forced by the Humane Societies irf the committee of the House. t t t Representative Sulzer of New York has touched on a very sore spot with the government by introducing a resolution for investigating the deal by which the old Custom House in New York was sold to the National City Bank eight years ago for a mere song and in virtue of which the government has been paying rent ever since for the old building. The Bank has never paid out a cent for it and has dodged the taxes on the property by letting the deed still rest in the hands of the government. This is not the first time that this transaction has been brought up, but it is an ever tender subject and if forced this time to an investigation is likely to uncover a pretty scandal. It will be remembered that the price was ridiculously low in the first place. The property was sold to the Bank for $3,265,000 when experts valued it at nearly SIO,OOO, 000. It has been appreciating in value every minute since. The Bank is a big depository of government funds, and it paid for the building simply by transferring the purchase figures from one book to another without even paying out a cent of real money. Even then it held back $50,000 of the purchase price, so that the deed has never been recorded, the result being that the bank has never had a cent of taxes to pay on the property. Meantime it has been receiving $130,000 a year rent for the building so that by the time the new Custom House is completed, which will still be some years hence, it will about have received the price of the building back in rent and will have the immensely valuable plot of ground through a process of high finance that it is difficult for a common person to appreciate. It will not have had to spend a penny for it. A thorough investigation that would turn the light of publicity on the whole transaction is to be devoutly hoped for but scarcely to be expected.

Fowler Leader: Judge Wiley will not be a candidate for the nomination of Appellate Judge, but will return to the practice of law at the close of his term. Opportunities are now open, which he feels, from a financial point of view, that he can not afford to let pass. He has served as judge with some distinction and credit. In an unlucky hour, be was exposed to the Mexican Coffee habit, and it left him a political wreck, on the wild marshes of the Tenth Indiana District. It was very unfortunate.

Mainspring of Life.

No One Can be Strong With a Weak Stomach. B. F. Fendig Telia How it May be Strengthened. The stomach is the mainspring of life. When it is strong and acts perfectly, then the whole system is right, assimilation is perfect, and body and brain are thoroughly nourished. One may perhaps get temporary relief from stomach troubles by using pepsin, or some other digestant, but this treatment has no. curative effect. Ji does not reach the seat of the trouble and remove the cause. How much better to use Mi-o-na, which restores lost functions of the whole digestive system, revives flagging nutrition, and aids in the assimilation of food. Mi-o-na is a pleasant remedy to use, and benefit is seen from almost the first day’s treatment. It restores the torpid glands and stimulates the natural digestive secretions. It checks fermentation, stops germ growth, soothes inflammation, and cures all troubles, such as headaches, backaches, rheumatic pains, furred tongue, sleeplessness, nervousness, and general debility, which are caused by imperfect digestion. It is the only remedy that is so uniformly successful in the cure of stomach diseases that B. F. Fendig is willing to give a guarantee on every 50 cent box of Mi-o-na tablets that the remedy will cost nothing unless it cures. He has so much faith in Mi-o-na that he is willing to take all the risk.

PROTECTION GONE MAD

Retaliation Is Declared Against Germany. OUR FARMEES BOUND TO SUFFER A Tariff Game la Which Both Countries Stand Pat—Republicans Favor the Trusts and Propose Still Higher Duties Corporations and Monopolies Will Grow Fat. Other nations besides the United States can stand pat, but in the end there must come a showdown, and some one will win and others lose. In playing the tariff game of freeze-out between nations the people of all countries suffer and the combines and corporations grow fat. That is the case in the United States and Germany today, for both countries are standing pat with poor hands. Even the eventual winner at this tariff game, which the Republican. leaders here and the land monopolists in Germany are playing with the stakes that the people of both countries furnish, will be poorer in the end.

In the United States we boast of our large exports, which are mostly agricultural products and raw materials, and which must be sold to those countries that will buy them, and the price for the surplus we have to sell after supplying our own people is fixed in the foreign markets, where other countries which have a surplus of similar products are also seeking buyers. Germany, France and other protection countries that do not raise enough w’heat, beef, pork and other products set the price they will pay according to the amount that is offered for sale. The price they offer for the surplus fixes the price also In the countries that sell. If a tariff tax Is imposed on any or all of these agricultural products, that and the freight and expenses and profits must be added, and the consumers in Germany and elsewhere pay the total cost. If our people want to buy German or French products the tariff tax that the United States imposes is added to the price these foreign countries charge, and the cost is increased from 30 to 100 per cent, the average being about 54 per cent, besides the freight and profits. But that is not the worst of it by any means, for the trusts and combines, knowing that foreign goods cannot be sold here except with the tariff tax added, put up the price of their products In proportion and thus virtually collect the tariff tax on nearly all our people buy. The trusts get the tax, and nothing goes to the government That is why the cost of living has increased here so greatly since the Republican tariff law was enacted in 1897 and why the trusts' And combines have been so fostered and have so prospered. In Germany a similar condition exists, and the price of the necessities of life has so vastly Increased that great distress prevails. On March 1 the German tariff will be so Increased that her markets will be absolutely closed to most of our agricultural products. Meanwhile the trust controlled statesmen of both countries are standing pat and declaring they will make no concessions. The protection majority in congress are even declaring for retaliation upon the Germans by increasing our tariff rates 25 per cent on German products. Thus is protection gone mad in both countries, and the people are paying exorbitant prices to protect the trusts and combines. When the election of senators and congressmen takes place next fall, will the voters re-elect these stand patters or turn to the Democrats, who are pledged to tariff revision that will eliminate trust protection?

It’s Never Too Late to Mend.

Ex-Governor Herrick of Ohio has evidently thrown to the winds his partisanship tor the Republican party and has joined the independents or perhaps the Democracy, for in his farewell address to the legislature he recommended about all the measures that the Democrats have been fighting for and that the Republicans have either opposed or failed to enact. This sudden conversion of the governor for good, wholesome reforms is more encouraging than his defeat for governor was, for it must lead many other Republicans to see the error of their way and come over to the help of the Democratic patriots against the hosts of evil. Directly Boss Cox was defeated and retired from the ring the good qualities of Governor Herrick began to appear, which only show's the power for evil that these corrupt political bosses maintain over their followers through fear of personal political consequences.

The American Sovereign.

The Washington correspondent of the London Times telegraphed to that new’spaper that the president’s message had “startled this country by its repeated use of the word ’sovereign.’ The appearance of a sovereign in the field of American politics has no precedent since we parted company with George lll.’’ That Englishman should be glv en to understand that we are still democratic enough so that every voter is an American sovereign, with no emperor, czar, king, potentate or othei ruler to make him afraid except the trust and coiporation potentates, whom the voter has foolishly allowed to be installed under forms of law to worry and plunder him.
