But now, we behold the Aldrich commission crossing the ocean upou palatial steamers, feasting and banqueting over the whole world at the expense of the taxpayers, visiting kings and courts, monarchies and dynasties, searching for an improved financial system to bring back home —to bring back to this blessed Republic of the free, a financial system which will be to their liking. : : i “The republican party told us they would start the mills instead of the mints. We have lived to see them stop the mills and start the printing presses under the Aldrick-Vreeland curreney bill to issue money to the great captains of industry, the Wall street coterie, upon stocks and bonds —watered stock, the value of which no man would be so hazardous as to say what they were worth today or what they yvould be worth tomorrow. But Wall street demanded this legislation and therepublican party performed.”’ : e i _ ® X 28R ~ The Philadelphia Public Ledger says that the reason why Speaker Cannon and his committee on rules held up the important measure of saving the forest region was ‘“‘the influence of the Inmber trust and its no less rapacious congener, the paper trust, were at the bottom of it.”” Go to the bottom of all matters arising before congress and all the trusts dominate, directly or indirectly. The trusts exploit whatever is to be exploited. ;iBR e W S Time was when the belief was quite common among the masses that a presidential campaign afforded a rich harvest for newspapers. If that opinion still prevails; it should pass speedily into oblivion for it is predicated wholly upon misconception. - By a vast majority of newspaper men a.‘ presidential campaign ig dreaded as an absorber of earnings and a curtailer of general patronage. Only in rare and exceptional cases is a political cam- | paign profitable to a newspaper conducted upon legitimate newspaper principles.—J. B. Stoll inSouth Bend Time. i : . * % B RD _ Do you favor re-electiongflf trust-dictated tariff schedules? The only hope is in the defeat of theparty that wrote the present schedules. Mr.. Bryan truly said: ““The president’s close friends have been promising for several years that he would attack the iniquities of the tariff. We have had intimation that Mr. Taft was restive under the demands of the highly protected industries. And yet the influence of the manufacturers, who _bhave for twenty-five years contributed to the republican campaign fund, and who in return have framed the tariff schedules, has been sufficient to prevent tariff reform.” : : e : ®R® gaa ' ; Jim Watson has made a deal by which he has secured the support of J. Frank Hanly, and the governor will soon begin an active campaign of the state in behalf of Wa.f.son.r' It is said that the terms of the bargain are that Watson is to continue the policies of Mr. Hanly when he leaves off. It is said that Mr. Hanly demanded a solemn promise from Watson that the ““Hanly reforms,” including the insurance laws, county local option, metropolitan police, ete. should be forced upon the legislature. Many Republicans objected to the deal and the promises but the situation is desperate and Watson was driven into the alliance in the hope that he can win. It is his only chance. o : I EENE R’ : 3 There is one reason why Wall street money sharks and the trust magnates of the country are all lined up in favor of Taft for president. They are perfectiy well aware that it is to their interests to keep Bryan out of the White House. They know that they will not be interfered with to any damaging extent if Taft is elected, and they never forgot number one. The welfare of the country and the people are secondary matters to them. They want to be alone in their well conceived schemes for fleecing the public. They have been able to control the government as they pleased in the past,save for such interference as Roosevelt attempted. They are not afraid of Taft. They feel that they can control .him, but they know they cannot control Bryan ;hence the radical opposition to him.—Columbia City Post. : /h : kev . w 2 gt S £ : Shps I ERLE N 5 £ Mr. Bryan’ Topeka speech bristles with demonstrations of the good ~effects of a bank guaranty that little short of a repetition could do them justice. One may be alluded to—the stringency produced by fear or panic as banks now are. What is a panic? It is the fear of the plain depositors—the common people—that they will not get their money. The nation, the state, the city, the county are all guaranteed in their deposits so they have no fear. Bat the common people unsecured rush to get their money. They take it home and bide. Vast millions are thus withdrawn from circulation, intensifying the very cause of suffering. Guarantee the private de~positor and he would be no more uneasy and no.more inclined to take his cities and counties—which are now guaranteed. Thus, there would be no panie, no “rans,” no money stringency—and all this can be brought to pass z«"“‘*:? ’3%%3;;*%&@5}‘ T 7 e = ,5 Fail Sn kit ordgand s el SRt glerpdnertas f{""“;raw:%?,a**‘%‘flaévfi”‘;* o S MM ee L

- BANK GUAR. S Mr. Bryan’s speach at Topeka on bank guaranty is marked by moderation of tone, lucidity of argument and logical coneclusion, Mr. Taft had done well to wait for it before renewing his denunciation of the proposal. Mr. Bryan touches the chord of popular self interest l[in the question when he says ‘‘lagt fall when the banks by concerted action suspended payments on checks the depositors everywhere were brought to realization of the fact th}ht their deposits are, in fact, loans, payable on demand under ordlnarl{vcircumstancgss, but payable at the will of the bank in emergencies.”” Sball the depositor have any security for his loan? When the- national Goverament deposits money in banks it demands security. States, counties and cities demand security for their deposits, and all this éecurit{ lessens the ordinary depositors security because these others are pr:eferred creditors at his expense, he taking whatis left. ~ Mr. Bryan toucx:f:s the self-inter-est of the banks when he calls attento the fact that tbelrepublican party proposes the establishment of a postal savings bank. The democratic party prefers guar*nteed banks, but failing in this adVQcates postal savings banks. So next November all of those that vote f{or these two parties will' by their ballots demand either a postal savings bank (Government guaranty) or guaranteed banks with the banks th?mselves supporting the guaranty as they now guarntee deposits of public money. The postal savings bank, Mr. Bryan goes on to show, starting merely as a savings bank would| under successful operation lead to [the acceptance of ordinary cbeékini accounts and be open to depositors|/without limit. So the banker must decide whether he will face a Goverbment guaranteed postal savings bdnk to grow till it absorbs the banking business or -would preserve the present system by giving it to the peop¥e through a guaranty law what he now gives to other depositors. |The Democrats oppose the Government absorption of the banking business, prefefring to see banking doneTby bankers. The democratic plan, er. Bryan argues, is therefore less radical than the republican plan. |

Under six months operation of the law in Oklahoma/| the secured banks gained more than four and & quarter millions in deposits, while the unsecured banks lost more than a million which in the proportion of numbers made the difference of about 50 per cent. in favor of the secured banks. A bank recently failed in Oklahoma. Within forty-eight minutes afterward payment of all depositors was authorized by the State banking board. Some farmers replied that. they were too busy with their crops and they would ¢ome in later to get their money. 'ln Clevland about the same time an unsecured bank failed and the .police {had hard work to keep twelve hundred depositors from tearing down the building. The Oklahoma law ra:.jses a fund for prote%ting the depasitor by a tax of Iper ceht. on the deposits of the banks, and so far not a{cent has been lost to the fund. Generally the loss to depositors in national banks has been but one-tenth ¢f 1 per cent. a year in forty years, which answers the criti-. cism that the guaranty fund would be a burden on the banks and at the same time forestalls objection to the plea thus: If unsecured, the losses have been so small, what is the objection to having all depositors made secure? The |effects of this security Mr. Bryan shows would be feltin every financial relation, while as to stimulating speculation and reckless banking he | makes it clear, that not a law for | security that we have now, such ts examinations, ete., would be withdrawn. There should be the samf amount of: capital re‘quired and every inducement to safe banking thak exists now. :

At some ]éngth the speech sets out the effect on banks, both large and small. Ani one reading the the exposition mpust feel that the issue comes to th{ijs: Shall the private depositor have security for his loan or deposit, as the nation, the state, cities and counties now have security? Offset the expense that banks are now under to furnish indemnity bonds for these preferred creditors, and add this the freedom from fear of runs—for with guaranty there would be no paniec over loss of deposits—and it{is doubtful if the guaranty fund would cost as much as the banks now have to pay for the special sec’urit;ies they must furnish.

The speech is a masterly explanaof the sulject. If it can be answered not by denunciation and assertion such as its opponents thus far have for the mpst part indulged in, but by argument and demonstrations such as are brought forward to support it, the country will want to see it done. For the proposition is simply this: Shall the plain people who: put their earnings in banks be the only ones that shall not be secured for these loans, and if so, why? This is a living issue that can not be avoided or conjured away. It must be demonstrated |as false or it must stand and win.—lndianapolis News. = | i

| A Steel Trust Incident i The sale of 28,000 tons of steel rails at $2O 3 ton to a Harriman railroad in Me;ico is a timely illustration of how the Dingly tariff works. In the home market the price of steel rails is still being maintained at $2B.

Exhijbitors Break Record Indications are now that there will be more exhibits in all lines at the Indiana State Fair this year, the week of September 7th, than in any other year since State Fair have been given in Indiana. Entries closed positively last Friday, August 27th, but even now the Secretary of the Board has 112 entries which it is puzzling him to take care of. All except the last 112 received have been placed nicely on the Fair Ground plat. The 112 and others which come later will be taken care of, but the task of placing therm is'a perplexing on e. ¢

Mr. Downing, Secretary of the Board, is unable to account for this great iocrease this year. He beleives however that the leaders among the producers of the different kinds of products are finding that the Indiana State Fair is a good place to advertise. Then, too, vast improvements at the Fair Ground and the high-class prograimns which have been provided by the State Fair Board give promise of a greater crowd than ever before and it is beleived exhibitors are taking this into consideration. .

“I am reaffy surprised at the great number of persons who are planning to have exhibits at the Fair,” said Mr. Downing. ‘I have just returned from the Fair Ground, where I made a careful survey and platted every foot of available space for .exhibits. I hope by the greatest effort to be able to take care of all of entries, but I don’t know whether I will be able to do it if they continue to come as they are coming how., It may be neecessary to lease additional ground.” : 9o v Mr. Downing says that another noticeable feature is the great number of new names among the list of those who have made entries so far. Exbibitors of whom the State Fair Board has never heard before will have exhibits at the Fair this year. In addition to the many new exhibitors, nearly all of the old ones will return, ro that the total number of exhibits will be far in excess of that of previous years. 5 :

An Interesting Meeting . : The first annual convention of city and state health departments with the dairymen of Indiana for the purpose of studying sanitary milk production and other problems of vital interest to both the producer and consumer, will meet in the hall of the house of representatives, state house, Indianapolis, Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 7 and 8. wAddresses will be made by successful dairymen, health officers and milk inspectors. Dr. Ivan Weld, federal gairy inspector, will be present to lecture and give expert information. The subject of the tuberculin test for dairy cattle will be. discussed by Dr. A. W, Bitting, state veterinarian; Dr. C. L. Hoover, city milk inspector, Richmond, and Dr. C. C. Mclntosh; city milk inspector, Terre Haute, and by dairymen who have had practical experience with test in their herds. ; All interested are cordially invited and every dairyman, health officer and milk inspector are urged to be present. i : : Clerical Buffonery Perhaps it is fortunate for some people that Billy Sunday’s date was changed at Winona so that they could not hear him. This Evangelist Sunday with “‘Rev.”” as his drawing card, drawing the money from church people, has about as much reverence for the cause of Christ and His kingdom as a bull pup. The newspaper reports of Sunday’s address to the Winona Bible conference indicates that Winona better hereafter guide her religious ecraft clear of such snags. Sunday’s entire theme is a tirade against the methods of the church and its ministry and aniounts to nothing, unless to bring those outside of the church into a firmer belief that the christian religipon amounts to nothing even as a refining influence on the human family. If the church wants to run a cheap vaudeville show,and has no other way of winning souls to Christ, why, we have nothing more to say.—Nappanee News. o : County Sunday Schooi"lnstltut.eu - A' There will be three Institute meetings held in Noble cou&y during vhe the month of Septembeér at the following places.

Cured Hay Fever and summer Cold A.J. Nusbaum, Batesville, Ind., writes; “Last summer I suffered for three months with a summer cold go distressing that it interfered with my business. I had many of the symptoms of hay fever, and a doctor’s prescription did not reach my case, and I took several medicines, which seemed only to aggravate my case. Fortanately insisted upon having Foley’s Honey and Tar in the vellow package, and it quichly cured me.

I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic; her hands and arms were drawn up so you could not straighten them, and with a death like look on her face. Two or three ladies were working with her and giving her whiskey. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel without it,) ran to the water tank, puta double dose of the medicine in the glass, poured some water into it and stirred it with a pencil; then I had quite a time to get the ladies to let me give it to her, but I succeeded. I could atonce see the effect and I worked with her, rubbing her hands, and in twenty minutes Igave her another dose. By this time we were almost into Le Grande, where I was to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used in case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train vran into Le Grande she was all right, and I received the thanks of every passenger in the For sale by S.J.
