A PAYING INVESTMENT.

John White, of 38 Highland Ave., Houston, Maine, says: “Have been troubled with a cough every winter and spring. Last winter J tried many advertised remedies, but the cough continued until I bought a 60c. bottle of Dr. King’s new Discovery. Before that was half gone, the cough was all gone. This winter the same happy re suit has followed a few doses once more banished the annual cough. I am now convinced that Dr. King’s New Discovery is the best of all cough and lung remedies.” Sold under guarantee at A. F. Long’s drug store 60c. and |I.OO. Trial bottle tree.

TELLS TRUTH OF TAFT

Great Union Convention's Officiai Volume Praises His Sympathy With Labor. In the official volume issued in connection with this year’s convention, the fifty-fourth, of the International Typographical Union in Boston, beginning Aug. 10, there is a five-page article entitled “The Hon. William H. Taft’s Relations to Union Labor.” All of the 46,000 members of that union have read or will read it, as well as organized workmen generally. All it says is true, but it will stir up the animals in the Bryan menagerie. Here are some of the truths printed in the article: “Secretary Taft’s whole public career, and it is an extensive one, contains no incident in which he has ever, by word or action, arrayed himself against the principles of trade unionism. On the contrary, he has been its consistent friend and advocate. “In this connection information showing that not only were his sympathies with the organization, but that his actions were those of a friend many years before either he or the American people had thought of him as a presidential possibility.

“No class of men will resent being imposed upon quicker than union workers, and those who havS held up Mr. Taft as opposed to organized labor must now take the condemnation that honest men place upon falsifiers. “Probably no judge ever has been more misquoted and unjustly judged by trades unionists than Judge Taft. His many decisions in favor of the laborers have been minimized to such an extent that one is prompted to inquire if those who have exploited his record before labor organizations were not more interested in the welfare of some political party than in those of the labor organizations. “Trades unionists should stand together without regard to party in contending for everything that would legitimately advance their principles, and should credit an honest judge with doing his duty, even though his decisions be adverse to them, so long as they are in accordance with the law of the land.

“His decisions, of course, may not voice the opinion of the judge; he does not make the law. On the other hand, there is no decision by Judge Taft that can be cited that Indicates personal antipathy or a personal unfriendliness on his part to labor organizations?* The article concludes with the following: “Do not these facts, coupled with what is more generally known with regard to his great achievements as a jurist and a public official, appeal to every man of right reasoning in such a manner as to convince him that, as president of the United States, Mr. Taft’s great intellect and power would be found valiantly contending for the rights of the laboring, producing people and in favor of everything that would help society from the bottom rather than from the top; for the welfare of this nation depends not upon the high cultivation of the sons and the daughters of the rich, desirable as that may be, nor upon the great aggregations of wealth in the hands of the few, but rather upon the high average intelligence and prosperity of those who really do the nation’s work?”

OUR ADMIRABLE RECORD.

"For many years ths Republican party of Indiana has Identified Itself repeatedly with prohibition methode. It was the Republican party which gave to the state In 1871 the Baxter law, afterward repealed by a Democratic legislature; It wae the Republican party that In 1881 paeeed a prohibition amendment to the constitution of the state, which failed to paea a second time in a Democratic legislature. It was a Republioam legislature that passed the Nicholson law, which has produced more strife, contention and hypocrisy than haa ever been produced by any law. Another Republics legislature gave ua the Moore law over the emphatic protect of this organization. At present the governor and the attorney general of the state belong to the moot fanatloal supporters of prohibition methods.” From resolutions adopted by the Alliaaoe of German Societies of Indiana.

BOGEY OF “EXTRAVAGANCE.

Most of Tain Marshall’s best friends and many men prominent in the Democratic party in the past regret that Brewers Lieber and Fairbanks, claiming td speak for that party, proclaimed so loudly and widely that the local option question must be considered the paramount one before the people In this campaign. Democratic leaders desired to lie low on this question. They wished to howl only about extravagance in the state house. Bob Miera did that in. his “keynote” speech at the Democratic state convention last March. But the brewery Democrats didn’t catch the “note" and have started off on another tune. Either one is good enough for Republicans to meet and beat this year. It Is funny to note that the Democratic editors of Indiana in picnic spirit decided on making “extravagance in the state house”, their warcry for a month or two. There is no salvation for them or their party in that text. Since the Republican party was given the stewardship of the state’s housekeeping in 1895 the state tax levy I has averaged annually 10 per cent less ] than it was when the Democrats were In the state house. But the Increased salary lists in the several state offices are what the Democratic editors ex- j pect to fool the people with and becloud the facts as they point with. pride to the “salaries” paid the last j Democrats who held office. There, i were great revenues in those days for officers, and they were called “fees.” Democratic editors will avoid menftming them while they write of salaries. Fees now go to the people of Indiana. Those gathered yearly now in the secretary of state’s office pay for the administration of nearly all the executive offices in the capitol.

Salaries have been raised for sure. The advances were necessary, but the state officers get much, very much, less money than of yore. The last Democratic state auditor put away in his jeans as fees in four years, in addition to his salary, more than $75,000! During the same years the Democratic attorney general and his deputy pocked more than $230,000 in fees.. All fees go now to the state of Indiana. The last Democratic state treasurer got more than SIOO,OOO during his term as interest on public funds. Interest goes to the state treasury now as provided by the Republicans law, and half of the amount received pays all the expense of the treasurer’s office. But the people know the truth. Why, during the four years ending with 1895 and Democratic control of state offices, the people had to pay to their officeholders in fees, salaries and office expenses an awful pile of money. The collection of every dollar coming to the state cost It 3(4 Cents. During the four years ending this year the cost has been only 5-9ths of a cent on each dollar collected. Figure the difference between the good old days and these and lay the “extravagance” where it belongs. From 1891 to 1895 it cost the state more than five times as much to collect the dollar due it as it does In this latest term of Republican administration.

TRAVELING MAN’S EXPERIENCE. "I must tell you my experience on an east bound O. R. & N. R. R. train from Pendleton to LeGrande, Ore., writes Sam A. Garber, a well known traveling man. "I was In the smoking department with some other traveling men when -one of them went out into the coach and came back and said, “There is a woman slcx unto death In the car. I at once got up and went out, found her with cramp colic; her hands and arms were drawn up so you could not straighten them, and with a deathlike 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 (1 never travel without It), ran to the water tapk, put a 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 at once see the effect and I worked with her, rubbing her hands, and in twenty minutes I gave her another dose. By- this time we were almost into Le Grande, where 1 was to leave the train. 1 gave the bottle to the husband to be used In case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran Into Le Grande she was al! right, and I received the thanks of every passenger In the car.** For sale by B.

A CAMPAIGN OF DEFAMATION

The Democratic candidate for governor of Indiana, Mr. Marshall, tn hit utterances at the beginning of the campaign made a noteworthy and altogether a laudatory appeal for a campaign this year in which measures rather than men should be discussed; from which personalities should be rigorously excluded. This appeal .from the leader of the Democratic state ticket for an impersonal campaign appeared to be so sincere that It was well-nigh pathetic. It was pitched on a high plane, and the Republican newspapers took Mr. Marshall at his word, and, furthermore, scores of them complimented him for what seemed to be a notion that is in harmony with the view of political contests that broadminded and intelligent iqen hold. We did not doubt Mr. Marshall’s sincerity • then. We do not question It now. But it is true, unfortunately, that many of the politicians of the state on whom Mr. Marshall’ depends for his support are doing exactly the thing that Mr. Marshall, in formal speech, condemned.

The men most active in the prosecution of the Democratic state campaign, the organization of brewers and liquor Interests that is making the real campaign for the Democratic state ticket, are conducting against the Republican nominee for governor, secretly and sneakingly, a desperate campaign of deception, defamation and slander. Their work of libel is carried on in every part of the state, quietly and under cover usually, although at times these agents of the brewery combine break out in public under pressure of great excitement, as was the case at Marion’the other day, when James Corbett, a wealthy brewer of that town, lost his temper and paraded the open streets, denouncing Mr. Watson personally and abusing him in unprintable language. This Corbett is wide of girth and loud of mouth, and he has when his blood is up all the insolent arrogance of many men of sudden riches who acquire their cash in the manufacture and sale of beer. Corbett heard Mr. Watson’s speech setting forth his position with reject to the county local option plank in the Republican state platform. In a great rage Corbett sought the street and in front of one of the prominent hotels delivered himself of the declamation, of which the following, many times repeated, is only a specimen:

“Jim Watson is aG — d — b —s —d,” fairly shrieked the Infuriated representative t»f the brewery alliance, “and any man who would vote for him is a G — d_ b—s—d! I am worth $400,000, and I’ll spend $50,000 of it to beat him!” To the saloons these emissaries of the alliance which seeks to prevent ‘the enactment of a county local option law picture Mr. Watson as a man who, tn the governor’s office, would be “harder on them than Hanly,” which is a clinching argument to the average saloon keeper. To temperance Democrats other agents of this conscienceless combine whisper all sorts of slanders, inuendoes and insinuations against the personal character of the Republican nominee, coupled with the suggestions that his declaration of loyalty to the county local option planluof the Republican state platform is Insincere; that he is in secret sympathy with the liquor interests; that his support of the local option principle is simply for expediency’s sake. It matters not to these cormorants of society that James E. Watson’s personal character Is unassailable except by covert and slinking slander; that his home life with his wife and his sons and daughters is the ideal of the American home; that his private reputation Is as devoid of blemish as his public service is clear of suspicion. They in their warped and twisted estimate of men, can not understand the Watson type, a man dean, virile, courageous, strong in the confidence that possesses manly men. and as such proof against all the libels that can be conceived in brothel and hellhole and uttered from wineroom and brewery saloon. Bryan never gets off with the old. old love whenever he*s on with a new He keeps a harem of old issues, and while his latest love is the one alone presented to his friends the voters, the older sweethearts are coddled In his isolated hours. The Opening words of his “speech of aooeptance" disclosed thia tailing at Us. I» the matter M b- * san va*
