STOMACH ON FIRE ONLY A SKELETON OROUCHING BY A STOVE. Mrs. Doherty has an Extraordinary Ex- perience and Undergoes a Marvelous Change. Mrs. E. Doherty, of No. 115 Coates street, Moberly, Mo., is today a picture of robust health, and yet five years ago, she barely escaped death from progressive maciation. Toa reporter she told the following story : “In 1896 I began to have distressing <s of indigestion that continued for vars. My stomach was constantly nd burned as if it was on fire. It recame finally so delicate that it would not retain even plain water. My inability to take food reduced my weight to ninety- eight pounds, and faintness and dizziness kept me in bed most of the time. I was really starving to death and besides I was extremely nervous. The doctor was perplexed. He gave me tonics which cid me no good, and prescribed exercise which I was too weak to attempt. “One day when I was so faint and chilled that I could do nothing but crouch down on the floor by the fire, my father brought me a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I found on trial that they would stay on my stomach un- like everything else. I really felt better after three doses and I kept on using them. Food began to taste well and to stay down. The pain and the burning in the pit of my stomach lessened and at last went away altogether. My weight un to increase until it reached 165 pounds and my neighbors, who were convinced that I was wasting to death before, were astonished at the hange. Iresumed my housework and have hardly had occasion to call a doctor since. I have recommended Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills to several friends, and i say to the pale, thin ones particularly, If you want to get strong and well take Dr. Williams’Pink Pills for Pale People.” These pills cure stomach trouble by their tonic action, building up the di- gestive organs and enabling them to do the work that nature intended them to do. They are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box or six boxes for two dollars anda half, by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Oo., Schenectady, N.Y.

' Enormous Contributions to the Cam- paign Fund Made by the Great Monopolies Calls for Some Return— Immunity from Prosecution Prom- ised? If anything was ‘lacking to prove that the trusts are to have a free hand, if Mr. Roosevelt is elected, it is only necessary to read what “Holland,” the New York financial correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, says about the matter. “Holland” is known to be the mouthpiece of great financial and cor- poration interests when they want to influence public opinion on the stock market, or politics, or any other sub- ject that affects their interests. He is said to be in the confidence of the Rockefellers and their allied interests, so the evidence he gives is official, of the attitude of these great trust mag- nates toward Mr. Roosevelt. It is also an ingenuous admission of the asser- tions of the New York World, the Brooklyn Eagle and other great metro- politan newspapers, that Chairman ,Cortelyou, with the consent of Presi- dent Roosevelt, is receiving enormous donations from the trust magnates to debauch the electorate of the close, or doubtful states. In return for this corruption fund, “Holland” admits that he is assured that the trusts are assured of immun- ity from the law by a member of the Republican National Committee and he further says: “To-day it is understood by every member of the Manufacturers’ asso- ciation, the most powerful body of its kind in the United States, that no im- pulsive, sudden, resentful or arbitrary action will be taken by the Depart- ment of Commerce, nor will any action at all be taken until the attor- ney general has heard both sides and then approved the proposed action. This information seems to have re- moved all of the suspicion and ner- vcusness that have been observed among certain manufacturers.” “Holland” tells us that the assur- ance is that the attorney general is to protect these great interests. “A member of the National com- mittee, officially gives assurances that in no case and at no time in the next administration, if Roosevelt be elected, or in the remaining months of this one,” will any charges be con- sidered until “the manufacturers or corporations” can confer with the attorney general. And “to this under- standing Mr. Garfield of the Depart- ment of Congress and the attorney general, Mr. Moody, are not only par- ties in the sense that they know of it, but both these administration officers asserted. that this administration never had any attention of listening’ to charges without consulting the ac- cused parties.” All this goes to show that the prose- eution of ‘the beef trust and the rail- road merger was either stage play, or intended to frighten the trusts to a realization of their peril, if the admin- istration was not propitiated by lavish campaign contributions. It remains for the voters to decide between Roosevelt and trust domination for the next four years, or Parker and four years of retrenchment and re- form. UNREST IS PLAINLY SEEN. Revolt of the Masses Against the Trusts. After a great deal of pressure from the business interests of Massachu- setts Senator Lodge, in a half-heart- ed way, has protested his readiness to promise all than can fairly be asked of him to support reciprocity with Canada. The trouble with Lodge and other Republican leaders is they are not free agents, their trust affiliations are such that even if sincere they will not be able to redeem their promises. The Chicago Tribune sounds a note of alarm at the demand for tariff re- form in the western states and de- clares that, “the voters should be as- sured, that if the next House is Re- publican, the Fifty-ninth Congress will revise the tariff.” “There has to be a revision,” declares that loyal Repub- lican paper, “for its need is apparent.” Yet the Tribune, like other Republi- can organs, is supporting the Republi- can candidate for President and Re- publican candidates for Congress who, if elected, will be under obliga- tions to the trusts and other bene- ficiaries of the tariff for the campaign funds without which, some of them, would be surely defeated. What a sorry \pass the Republican party has come to, when it has to disregard the wise advice of its few honest newspapers, and either has to prom- ise what it cannot perform or tell the truth, that it is already committed to the support of the trusts. No wonder the Republicans are in fear of losing the majority of Con- gress; many of their voters are de- termined to wipe out the glaring op- pression of the tariff; they are suffer- ing from trust high prices without any compensating advantage; they see the foreigner buying trust prod- ucts cheaper than themselves, they hear of trust donations to the Repub- lican campaign fund; they notice their leaders in league with the trusts and corporations and having been fooled before they decline to be fooled again. Democrats should drive this tariff issue home to their Republican neigh- bors and invite them to join in the crusade against the plundering of the trusts. No pledge from a Republican candidate for Congress is worth lis- tening to, unless he pledges himself to vote for a tariff reform Speaker of stays out of the Republican caucus, If the Republicans organize the next Congress, when it meets, there is no more hope for tariff reform than there is for the millenium, as the ma- jority of the Republicans will be under such obligations to the protected in- terests, that they could not, if they would, serve the interests of their constituents. The farmers who have no protection, the business men who! are oppressed by the interference of | the tariff and the workmen who suffer from increased cost of living, with de- clining wages, must all contrive to overthrow the plundering system that has become a millstone around the necks of the American people. It is a good sign that the voters are wak- ing up in the East as well-as in the West and will emancipate themselves from trust domination. TO SECURE TARIFF REFORM. A Democratic President and Congress Is Needed. i To have even the “most gross in- equalities of the tariff revised, there must be a Congress elected which is favorable to revision. The dominant faction of the Republican party is heart and soul with the protectionists and the only revision of the tariff they would attempt, would be to revise it higher. If the Republicans control the next Congress, they will organize the Ways and Means committee through which sieve all tariff bills must pass, so that no reform bill will be reported and allowed to come to & vote. If the Republicans have only a small majority in the next Congress, they will fear to allow any bill affect- ing the tariff to reach the stage of discussion, for there will be some few Republican members, like McCall of Massachusetts, who will vote with the Demecrats for reciprocity with Can- ada. and perhaps also for amendments which would prevent the trusts from selling abroad cheaper than here. So the only hope of revision is that the Democrats will have the majority of the House of Representatives and send a reasonable bill to the senate that will put the members of that body on record either for or against the most gross iniquities of the tariff. H two or three bills revising the spe- cial iniquities of the tariff are passed by a Democratic House of Represen- tatives, there is good reason to be lieve that several Republican senators would think twice before voting against such measures of relief from trust exactions. Public opinion would also have its effect upon that coterie of trust auxiliaries—the Republican members of the Senate Committee on; Finance—of which Senator Aldrich is chairman, who may be retired to pri- vate life, if the independent voters of Rhode Island do their duty. In spite of his former tariff reform proclivities, President Roosevelt has surrendered to the protectionists, so those voters who feel the burden of trust high prices, or who for ethical reasons favor reform, should vote for Judge PArker. With a Democratic president and Congress, there will be some hope of tariff reform and a cer- tainty of a thorough investigation of the frauds in all departments of the government and retrenchment in the present extravagant expenditures. A Dangerous Man. When the New York Sun declared that President Roosevelt was a more dangerous man than Bryan, it spoke the truth, though it is now supporting this dangerous man for president. All the abuse heaped upon Mr. Bryan was not on account of his radicalism, put because the monopolists feared the people who were back of Mr. Bryan. ‘the fact is that Bryan is not nearly as radical as Roosevelt and has al- ways been more consistent. Mr. Roosevelt has one great asset that Mr. Bryan does not possess—he is a much more consummate politician. [ Roosevelt. can change his political ideas in the twinkling of an eye, if it suits his purpose. Bryan is more set in his convictions and is one of the most difficult men to convince that he is wrong when he has made up his mind he js right. There is no Davy Crockett about Roosevelt, he does not dally over a question first to be sure he is right before going ahead, but just rips out a reply without time to fully form his words. He, therefore, has often to recede from positions he takes and sometimes makes a worse mess of a matter than if he had stay- ed by his first determination. So the New York Sun was eminently right when it imparted the information that President Roosevelt was a dangerous man, and the Sun, being such a staunch Republican paper, made the remark the more noticeable. The Trusts Buying Rhode Island. Senator Aldrich’s last visit to Wall street seems to have borne fruit, for the Republican committee of Rhode Island have hired all the theaters and public halls in the state, that were not engaged, until after election, so that the Democrats could hold no meetings. ‘The opera house at Providence had already been en- gaged by the Democrats for one night but the balance of the oratory will have to be in tents or the open air. It will be remembered that a son of Senator Aldrich married one of Rocke- feller’s daughters, and Aldrich is a candidate for re-election. How much the Rhode Island campaign will cost the Standard Oil trust and the other allied combines, to: hold their pocket borough of Rhode Island, will prob- ably never be known and there is a fair chance that in spite of boodle and cheating it will go Democratic, and honest Republican voters of Rhode island must resent this debauchery of their state by the trusts.
