V . ..f.-;"T MAYOR RHETT ON PUBLIC MATTER Candidate for United- States Senal Givoj His Views-Some of the Ii portant Questions of the Da Briefly B mewed hy an Aspirai for One 01 the Highest Positions i the Gift of the People of H State. Mayor R. Goodwyn Rhett, a cand date for the United States Senat has given to the press the followin outline of his views on some of th questions of the day: There is, in my judgment, grez need for more business methods i government. It is significant that th Democratic party has not been i power, with the exception of eigb years, for almost half a century, al though the solid South, constitutin almost one-third of the country, ha almost invariably cast its votes fo that party. I believe it is largely du to a lack of confidence on the part o the people of the country in thc ca pacity of thc Democr?alic party t manage the government upon a busi ness plane and by business methods Thc South does not Jack man of busi ness capacity, and* there are not few of them at present in the hall of Congress, but they have been fol lowing political and not business lines My belief is that if they subordi tinted their political to their busines talent they would regain the conti dence of the entire country. Mor than this, my belief is that the; would once more secure the JeacVr ship and guide thc policies 01 liv Democratic party, and through tha party the government of the nat.io.i As a business man, who bas fouin that the applications of busirics! methods to all problems-govern mental as well as others-has efrVet ed the best solutions. I am offerin; myself as a candidate for the Unite< States Senate, believing that I cai be of some use to the people of State, to the South and to the conn try. Currency. The present currency laws of th< United States are framed for th< benefit of thc bond-holding irater nity of New York and New England andi against the interests of the far mer, the manufacturer and the pro ducer generally. Under these laws the Southern bank, from whom alone the farmer can obtain the currency to gather his crops, is .now compel! ed to buy this currency in New York Every fall the Stock Exchange spe culator runs up the price of mone\ and thus makes it difficult and ex pensive, and at times impossible, tc get thc currency needed. The farmei is driven to pay higher rates ii driven gather his cotton undei spur and whip, and to sell it, not a> his judgment dictates, but as neces sity demand". I have prepared a cur rency plan in detail which enable.' the Southern banks to obtain this currency when it is needed by the fanner, without going to New York or depending upon bonds-a curren cy based upon the credit of the banks themselves, which means thc credit of the communities in which thc banks are located. By making it a condition that every bank to obtain its charter shall guarantee the note of every other bank, the currency is made the strongest in the world. I do not believe it is realized how ma terially this currency question af fects every interest in the country. The intricacy of the question has made it so difficult to understand that the representatives of. the large moneyed interests of the northeast have blinded the people of the coun try %an3 enable them through the present currency system to levy tri bute upon every industry to a great er or less extent. For instance, there was a panic last fall and no currencv could be obtained at any price. The reason was that all bank note currencv had to be secured by the deposit of Government bonds, and the government bond market was cornered in New York. I have con structed a system on the lines of our federal government-a system of the people and for the people-a system basedf upon the credit of thc coun try, its industries and commodities distributed throughout the length and breadth of the land-a system from the proportionate benefits of which no community can bo excluded-yet a system behind which stands more than the.combined currencies of Eu rope; a system which will forever free our industries from currency famines and our country from panics. The Tariff. Thc tariff duties should be imme diately reduced to the lowest point consistent with the needs of the gov ernment economically administered. In thc process of reducing the du ties the utmoi,* endeavors should bc used to prevent discrimination against Southern industries, coupled wiih diligen. care that our industries shall receive the fullest share of ad vantage from whatever ..duties re main. The tariff, of course, is a tax-an indirect tax-and the whole question is one of adjusting this tax so that each industry andi clement shall bear it fair proportion. Railroads. The state knows my attitude on the railroad question. I have claim ed that there was a discrimination not only against the port of Charles ton, but against all parts of South Carolina. I have cited tariffs which show this conclusively. A railroad is a public service corporation. It is thc public's trustee for its highways and it. should be so regulated as not to discriminate against any indus tries or any localities. I have never favored an indiscriminate reduction in rates. I believe that railroads should* be permitted to earn profits, and good profits, upon actual values, but not upon watered securities. I believe that service is of more im portance than rates, and my voice has always been for better service, greater efficiency and no discrimina tion. Drainage. The Government has for some time been irrigating lands of the western States and converting them into fer tile fields. South Carolina now has large areas of land covered by wa ter, the drainage of which would con vert them likewise into fertile fields. Inasmuch as the principles in both cases are the same, the one in ad ding water, the other in taking it away tc effect a like purpose, the two problems should be joined and some method found whereby the govern ment aid should bo rendered for drainage as well as for irrigation. Immi Trallon. We need cn increase in our white population and should welcome all such within our borders,-Vall who are strong and healthy, not only-in body, but in mind, and do not come in to dis turb our ideals of life and of gov ernment and our standards of labor. L am in favor of throwing every safe guard and restriction around immi gration that will prevent the influx j of an undesirable population. While we should welcome as one of the so lutions of the negro question the ac cession of a white population, it would not be, in my judgment, de sirable to do this by bringing in those to whom liberty means license, those without religious faith, those whose stamVrds of life are so much hri^w our own that they would constitute a menace to us.

Tue platform of the ' Republican party, upon which it goes before the ..nation in the coming campaign is~as" follows, paragraphs-.of minor import ance being given onjy in substance and the more vital ones in full: Once more the Republican party, in national convention assembled, submits its cause to the people. This great historic organization that des troyed slavery, preserved the Union, restored credit, expanded the nation al domain, established a sound finan cial system, developed the industries and resources of the country, and gave to the nation her seat of konor in the councils of the world now meets the new problems of govern ment with the same courage/and ca pacity with which it solved the old. In this, the greatest era of Ameri can advancement, the Republican party has reached its highest service under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt, His administration is an epoch in American history. In no other period since national sovereign ty was won under Washington, or preserved under Lincoln has there been such mighty progress in these" ideals of government which make for justice, equality and fair dealing among men. The highest aspirations of the American people have found a voice. Their most exalted servant has come to represent not political sov ereignty alone, but the best aims and worthiest purpose of all his country men, j Justice and Fair Play. American, manhood and woman hood have been lifted io a nobler sense of duty and obligation. Con science and courage ir. public station and highest standards of right and wrong in private life have become the principles of political faith ; capital and labor have been brought into closer relations of confidence and in dependence; the abuse of wealth, the tyranny of power and all the evils of piivilege affil favoritism have been put to seora by thc simple, manly virtues of justice and fair play. The great accomplishments of President Roosevelt have been first, and fore most, a brave and impartial enforce ment, of the law, the prosecution of illegal trusta and monopolies, the fmnishraent of evil doers in thc pub ic service, the more effective regula tions of the rates and service of the great transportation lines, the com plete overthrow of preference, re bates and discriminations; the arbi tration of labor disputes, the ameli oration of the condition of wage workers everywhere, thc conservation of the natural resources of the coun try, thc forward step in the improve ment of the inland waterways, and always the earnest support and de fense of every wholesome safeguard which has made more secure the guarantees of life, liberty and pros perity. : - America's Wealth. Under the guidance of Republican principles the American people have become the richest nation in the world. Our wealth today exceeds that of England, and her colonies, combined. When the Republican par ty was horn the total wealth of the country was $16,000,000,000. lt has leaped to $110,000,000,000 in a gen eration while Great Britain has gathered but. $60,000,000,000 in 500 years. The United States now owns one fourth of the world's wealth ' and makes one-third of all manufactured products. In the groat necessities of civiliza tion, such as coal, the motive power of all activity; iron, the chief basie of all industries; cotton, the staple foundation of all fabrics ; wheat, com and all the agricultural products that feed mankind. American supremacy is undisputed. A And yet her great natrual wealth has been scarcely touched. We have va? domains of 30,000,000 squau miles literally bursting with latent tressure, still waiting the magic of capital and industry to be converted to the practical uses of mankind; a country rich in soil and climate, in the unharnessed energy of its rivers and in all the varied products. With gratitude for God's bounty, with pride in the splendid produc tiveness of the past and with confi dence in the prosperity of the future, the Republican party declares for the priuciple that in the development and enjoyment of wealth so great and blessings so be nign there shall be equal opportunity for alL The trust plank is as follows: "The Republican party passed the Sherman anti-trust law over Demo cratic opposition and enforced it af ter Democratic dereliction. It has i been a wholesome instrument for | good in the hands of a wise and fear less administration. Railroad Plank. "We approve the enactment of a railroad rate law and a vigorous en forcement of the present administra tion of the statutes against rebates and discrimination as a result, of which the advantages formerly pos sessed by the large over the small shipper have substantially disappear ed. In this connection we commend the appropriation of $350,000 by the present Congress in order to enable the Inter-State commerce commission to thoroughly investigate and give publicity to the accounts of inter state railroads. Tariff Revision. "The Republican party declares unequivocally for a revision of tho tariff by a special session ot Congress immediately following the inaugura tion of the next. President, and com mend the steps already taken to this end in the work assigned to the appropriate committees of the two houses which are now investigating the operation and effect of existing schedules. In all tariff legislation the true principle of protection is best raantained by the imposition of such duties as will equal the diner ence between the cost of production at heme and'abroad, together with | a reasonable profit to American in dustries, and the benefit; that follow are best secured by ti ie establish ment of maximum and minimrm rates which shall be applied automa tically to thc trade of other countries in acordaneo with their treatment of our trade. The minimum should rep resent the normal measure of protec tion required for the benefit of oui own industries. "The aim and purpose of the Re publican policy is not only to pre serve, without excessive duties, that security against foreign competition to which American manufacturers, farmers and producers aro entitledj but also to maintain the high stand ard of living of tho wage earners of this country, who are the most direct beneficiaries of the protective system. Between the United States and thc Philippinss we believe in a free in ter-change of products with such lim itations as to sugar and? tobacco as will avoid injury to domestic in terests. ' ? \ Injunctions. "Tho Republican party will up hold at all times the authority and integrity of the courts, State and Federal, and will ever insist that their powers to enforce their process and to protect life, liberty and prop erty shall bo inviolate. Wc believe, however, that thc procedure in thc Federal courts with respect to the is suance of tho writ of injunction should! bc mora accurately defiucd by statute and that no injunction or temporary restraining Order should be issued without notice, except ir reparable injury would result from delay, in which case a speedy hearing thereafter should be granted." The currency plank contains this language : ,"The Republican party approves the Aldrich-Vreeland currency hill but only as an emergency measure. We declare for a thorough and new system of currency laws that will be in accord with the needs of the time and which .would be more adaptable to the demands of business and more elastic in its character as a circulat ing medium." On the subjects of merchants ma rine, the army and navy, agriculture, our relations with foreign powers and other details of governmental poli cies the platform advocates a liberal conservatism. The emergency cur rency legislation of the last congress is endorsed, as are all the policies of the present administration. On the subject of civil service the platform says: Among the inew features injected by the committee on resolutions is a declaration that native citizens of Porto Rico should be collectively made citizens of the United States It also favors admission of New Mex ico and Arizona as separate States. It declares with respect to the negro without reservation for enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth andi fifteenth amendments to the consti tution. In the plank favoring conserva tion of natural resources the speci fic mention made in the tentative draft favoring the White Mountain and Appalachian forest reserves is eliminated. Protection to American "itizens is urged. One important change made by the committee on resolutions in the ten tative plaftorm was tho omission from the paragraph declaring for the amendment of the Sherman anti trust act of that portion which ex empts fro mthe operations of the law "such associations among business men, farmers and wage earners as result in" positive benefit to the pub lie." Tho Negro Question. The Republican party has been for more than 50 vears the consistent friend of the American negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law of the laud the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights and it believes today that his notworthy progress in intelligence, industry andi good citizenship has camed the re spect and encourageaient of the na tion. We demand equal justice for all men, without regard to race or coJor. The contrast between the parties is the closing paragraph, and is as fol lows : In principle, the difference between Democracy and Republicanism is that one stands for vacillation and timidity in government, the other for strength and purpose, one stands for obsliuction, the other for construc tion ; one promises, the other per forms; ene finds fault, the other find*; work. Thc present tendencies of the two parties are even more marked by in herent differences. The trend of Dcm crncy is toward socialism, while the Republican party stands for a wisc and regulated individualism. Social ism would give to each an equal righi to take. Republicanism would give to each an equal right to carn. Socialism would offer equality of pos session which would soon leave no one anything to possess; Republican ism' would give equality of opportun ity, would* assure to each his share of the constantly increasing store of possessions. In line with this ten dency the Democratic party believes in government ownership, while the Republican party believes in govern ment regulation. Ultimately Demo cracy would have the nation own thc people, while Republicanism would have the people own the nation. Upon this platform of princi ples and purposes, reaffirming our ad herence to every Republican doctrine proclaimed since the birth of the par ty, we go before the country, asking the support not only of those who have acted with us heretofore but of all our fellow citizens, who, regard less of past political differences, un ite in the desire to maintain thc pol icies, perpetuate the blessings and make secure thc achievements fo a grater America.

Ifs Stomach Catarrh Some people are thin and always re main thin, from temperamental rea sons. Probably In such casos nothing can be done to change this personal peculiarity. But there are a large number of peo ple who get tnin, or remain thin, who natnrally would bo plump r,nd fleshy but for 6omo digestive derangement. Thin peoplo lack in adipose tissue. Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of fat. Fat is derived from the oily constit uents of food. The fat-making foods are called by the physiologist, hydrocarbons. This class of foods are not digested in tho stomach at all. They aro digested In the duodonum, tho division of tho ali mentary cana), just below tho stomach. The digestion of fat is mainly, if not wholly, tho work of tho pancreatic Juice. This juice is of alkaline reac tion, and is rendered inert by tho oddi tion of acid. A hyperacidity of the digestive fluids of tho stomach passing down into the duodenum, dostroyr the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur poses. Therefore, the fats are not di gested or emulsified, and tho system is deprived of its duo proportion of oily constituents. Hence, the patient grows thin. The beginning of the trouble is a ca tarrhal condition of tho stomach which causes hyperacidity of the gastric juices. This hyperacidity ls caused by fermentation of food in tho stomach. When tho food is taken into tho stom ach, if tho process of digestion does not begin immediately, acid fermenta tion will tako place. This creates a hyperacidity of tho stomach juices which in their turn prevent tho pan creatic digestion of tho oils, and tho tunaciation results. A doso of Peruna before each meal hastens tho stomach digestion. By hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents fermentation of the contents of tho stomach, and thc pancreatic juice is thus preserved in its normal state. It then only remains for tho patient to eat a sufficient amount of fat-forming foods, and tho thinness disappears and plump ness (akos its placo. Peruna is sold by your local drug gist.

The hostess who dislikes serving cheese, marmalade, sauces and cat sups in their jars or bottles has found the silver covers, which were pro vided for them a few years ago, a welcome invention. It is only recently, however, that the prices of these covers were not prohibitive for the housekeeper on a BiLall income. Now, fortunately, the boxes to hold cheese, caviar, marma lade and covers for catsup and sauce bottles come in plated silver. They aro so reasonable in price that the woman of moderate means need no longer be deprived cf these dainty ac cessories to a well-served meal. New Haven Register. TAPE WORMS IN SHEEP.
