Among other things that make us laugh is the spectacle of a Republican editor begging for a removal of the tariff on wood pulp and paper in one column and declaring in another column that “the foreigner pays the tax.”—The Commoner. It’s enough to make any person laugh—even the average Republican who has swallowed “the foreigner pays the tax” falsehood in past campaigns.

In making demands on tjie county treasurers for advance payments of taxes the state officials admit that without these advance payments the state cannot meet its bills. In other words, the state has been living for yean beyond its income and its treasury Is bankrupt. And yet the tax rate has been increased and the assessed

value of property has been raised <0 per cent What has been done with the money?

“The Vreeland bill is a fraud on its face,” says the Fairbanks Indianapolis Stat. Of course it is, and there is no one acquainted with that fact better than the republican leaders in congress. Can the Star point to any law since 1896 that has not been a “fraud on its face?” including the republican blind tiger law of the last legislature.

Marion county, which has been in the hands of the Republicans for thirteen years, is not able to pay its bills. Like the state, during the I , same period, it has lived beyond its income. And like the state, too, the Republican officials have taxed the people heavily. The graft investigations have shown what has become of some of the money, but much has not been accounted for.

A bankers’ club in Chicago has invited Mr. Bryan to address a banquet of its members on finance. If there is anything wrong or ruinous in banking that Mr. Bryan doesn’t ably, eloquently and sincerely advocate, what the deuce is it?—lndianapolis Star (Rep.). It would seem that the Star, which is now in the hands of a receiver on a charge of Insolvency, would have common sense enough to avoid such silly flippancy as this.

J. Frank Hanly was right in his contention for the use of granite in the construction of the Tippecanoe monument, but wrong in his attack on his old law partner, Will R. Wood. There is more revenge in J. Frank than in an Indian, more venom in him than in a lance-head viper, more egotism than a jackass. His bump of gratitude would have as much room in a gnat’s gall cyst as a tadpole in Lake Michigan.— Oxford Tribune, (Rep.)

It is said that Andrew Carnegie has contributed 6200,000 to Taft’s expense fund. The trusts will be satisfied with Taft. He never has been regarded by them as unfriendly to their interests. He has uttered no opinion on public questions that commit him to the people’s side of any proposition. As a matter of fact, the Hon. William H. Taft is not the sort of man the people need. Roosevelt and the federal machine may nominate him, but that is as far as he will get.

The net earnings of the steel trust in 1997 were $160,000,000. Its net profits were 133,000,000. The steel trust could sell its steel rails at sl6 a ton and make a profit; but as the tariff keeps out competition, it sells its rails at S2B a ton to American consumers and ships them abroad and sells them to foreigners at S2O a ton. The steel trust is a “friend of the tariff” —one of the “friends” that the Republican party talks about when it has anything to say about tariff revision. ,

MR. MARSHALL COMMENDED. The Richmond Item, a Republican dally newspaper printed in the district which James E. Watson has represented in congress for several terms, severely criticises Mr. Watson’s campaign methods. It accuses him of unworthily using or attempting to use the fraternal and rellgtduto societies for his own personal benefit while at the same time seeking the aid of the liquor interests. The Item, among other things, says:

“In his race for governor he used his church affiliations as a political asset, and at the same time he did not hesitate to make terms with the liquor interests of Evansville, Terre Haute, Anderson and Muncie whereby he secured the delegations from those localities.” Speaking of Mr. Marshall’s wellknown purpose to make a straightforward, open campaign on principles, the same paper says: “The attitude of Marshall that will not stoop to these means will immediately commend him to thousands of voters.” . -

The fact that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company alone ha* 90,900 idle car* and 500 idle locomotives affords a sufficient comment upon the platform declaration of the Pennsylvania machine that the tariff is “the cause of America’* population, power and prosperity/’ So much for the prosperity aspect of the case. As for the population, more workingmen have been leaving the country in recent months than have come. But there is no question that the Pennsylvania machine’s office-holders and, dependents, who passed this tariff resolution, are in the enjoyment of a good deal of prosperity.—Philadelphia Record.

Among the many reasons why the democratic state .ticket is strong is this, that not one of the candidates is on the defensive. The head of the opposition ticket must go through the campaign defending himself from the onslaughts of labor from the charge of being controlled by corporate influence; of being inimical to Senator Beveridge; for his championship of the ship subsidy graft, and other things, more nearly personal, which were alleged by his opponents in the fight for the nomination, but which should not figure in a high-minded campaign.—Fort Wayne Journal Gazette.

THE FEAR OF BEING “CAUGHT”

A member of the Republican congressional committee says that the Republican party will need from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 to make its national campaign “if we are to have a real fight.” He added that $5,000,000 might be needed. The managers are thinking about how they are going to get the money. A Republican senator is quoted in a letter to the Indianapolis News as follows: “I should not want to say so over my signature at this time, but I am convinced that if the Republican party is caught accepting money from the trusts next fall it will go, down to defeat on that one issue. I know what the temper of the people is on this subject.” Just notice the language used by the honorable senator —“if the Republican party is caught accepting money from the trusts,” etc. So, therefore, the Republican party does not propose to take any chance of being “caught,” and the campaign contribution publicity bill will not be passed by congress. The letter to the Indianapolis News, from which the above quotation is made, declares that the backers of the publicity legislation “see a willingness on the part of the dominant party managers to leave the way open so they can quietly take tainted contributions if they shall be offered.” The Republican managers will take the money fast enough, but they don’t want the people to know about it.

MI-O-NA MEANS STOMACH COMFORT.

It’s of Special Value to Many Here in Rensselaer.

A notable discovery, and one that appeals especially to many people in Rensselaer, Is the combination of stomach help in the Mi-o-na treatment. This preparation works wonders in cases of indigestion or weak stomach. It acts directly upon the walls of the stomach and bowels, strengthening and stimulating them so that they readily take care of the food that is eaten without distress or suffering. So positive are the good effects following the use of Mi-o-na that the remedy 4s sold by B. F. Fendig under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it fails to cure. A 50-cent box of Mi-o-na will do the good the stomach needs, which is simply to make it do its own work.

THE EMPTY “DINNER PAIL.” The following paragraphs are taken from one issue of the Chicago Tribune, a Republican paper, and they illustrate conditions in Chicago in the districts inhabited by laborers, many of them foreigners.

How it was in one place: There ate 1,099 or thereabouts who have no money and no credit. They live on a slice of bread which they get from pne friend or another. Not infrequently that friend himself is penniless. The slice of bread which he gives away spoils his meal and leaves him- half'hungry. But he gives it? anyhow. Again:

There are a thousand people here now who are without means, without a cent with which to buy their next day’s bread. They would have starved or been criminals long ago if they had not lived in this congested neighborhood among their own people. Here they are helped. They are given food. At the labor agent’s:

The office of a labor agent on Ninetieth street contained about forty people, all of whom were anxiously waiting for some news of work. Every letter that the agent opened was watched by these men with breathless attention, as if their lives huqg on the contents of that letter. As soon as the agent perused the letter and' told them there was nothing for them, the crowd went out, and inside of ten minutes another crowd of forty or fifty people were waiting for further news. A typical case of destitution: Another minute’s talk revealed that the man had not eaten that day, although it was evening. He explained that he had no one to borrow from. He had borrowed from nearly everyone he knew in the last, few months. Now his friends are looking for someone from whom to borrow a nickel or dime. Another: \

“The grocer won’t trust me any more. ' I oWe him a great deal as it is. To the butcher I have not gone for a long time. We are glad if we have enough bread. Many of the people around here have not even bread. They are simply famished.” What the groceryman said:

“Our business has fallen off from 50 to -TO per cent and there is no telling how much more it will fall within the next few weeks. During the winter months we kept on selling groceries and meats on the hook, as we always do. We had hoped that in the spring, when work started up, they would pay it up. Now, however, spring has come and there is little improvement. We were compelled, therefore, to quit selling on credit. If we were to keep on we would simply go bankrupt. With the cutting down of credit the business has been cut down enormously. People simply buy the bare necessities, such as bread, salt and matches. A herring is bought occasionally. But meat hardly is touched by a number of my customers who used to call for large meat orders daily. I don’t know what it will come to. But I simply will not sell on credit to anyone. Credit at this time would put me out of business on short notice.”

From every large city in the country come similar reports. Hundreds of thousands of men are without employment and are forced to live as best they ean. All kinds of business are affected and there seems to. be no reason for expecting conditions to improve until the panic has run its course and something has been done to restore confidence. The party in power—the Republican party—is absolutely unequal to the emergency. It has done nothing to relieve the distress its policies have brought upon the country.

DENTISTRY.

All you’ve “guessed" about artificial teeth may be wrong; we know about them is the result of long experience. Possibly it would surprise you to know how reasonable in price they are made our way. We make so many sets that we can afford to give you more reasonable prices than most dentists do—that is, for first-class work. We are told again and again that our work is by far the best in the district. We always intended that it should be; we always try to give superlative service. We use the best materials, take greatest pains. Our fee depends upon what requires to be done. We always give estimates most gladly, and we guarantee entire satisfaction. J. W. HORTON, Dentist On Eaat Side
