The Republicans have stolen anoth er plank from the Democratic plat form. The Grst man who can prove to us that a protective tariff is bene ficial to the farmers of the South will be awarded a handsome chromo. The action of the Republicans in heaping greater taxes on the people for the benefit of the trusts shows that they have no resepct for the masses. The Commoner says the Roosevelt game bag in three weeks contains more slain lions than it did slain trasts after seven years of furious trust "busting." The protective tariff is the most effective hold-up game ever devised to rob the masses of the people for the benefit of the trusts and large corporations. President Taft seems to be in full accord with Aldrich and his gang in pushing through the robber tariff. He seems to have forgotten his cam puigu promises. Moses Martindale, a miner of Great Fails. Mout., claims to have dug-a live lizard out of a solid rock. The dispatch did not name the brand of booee that Moses had imbibed. We will give another chromo to the.first man who can prove that the farmers of the South are not plun dered acoming aud . agoing by the protective tariff. Congressmen are invited to take part in this contest. Mr. Felder, the Atlanta lawyer, has disappointed many people by not put ting up that chemist who was to demonsrtate that the different in gredients of whiskey could be sepa rated by a chemical. We were in clined to believe that Mr. Felder was talking through his hat when he made the statemeut. Bishop Bell, who presided at the receLv meeting of the United Breth ren conference at Canton, Ohio, in introducing Mr. Bryan to the con ference coined a uew phrase. He said: "I introduce to you the great friend of humanity and the man whose life is enshrined in the Whiter House of Christian effort." Democratic ideas seem to be popu lar with some of the Republicans of Nebraska. Congressman Norris is one of the leaders among the tariff reforui Republicans in the house, aud Senator Brown is urging the adoption of the constitutional amendment au thorising an income tax?carrying out a plank in the last Democratic platform. The Springfield, aTass.. Republican recently said "people laugh when the question is asked "what is a Dem ocrat?' but what is a Republican.'" In its issue of May 17 the Indianapo lis News, a Republican DApc*. repro duced the SpringS^t?! ;tepublicH i * remark and answered the question, ' what is a Republican." in this way: "Why. a man that lets Aldrich do his thinking." Senator Clay, of Georgia, tried to justify his refusal to be bound by the free lumber plank of the Dem ocratic platform by saying that It was made by a handful of men at ruirf-night. But he neglected to say it was ratified by a national conven tion and supported by 6,400,000 vot ers. He also neglected to state that the Republican platform, which he voted to sustain, was made by the lumber trust. The Reform Club, of New York, has just Issued a very valuable pamphlet entitled "Protection's Fa vors>-to Foreigners." It gives a con cise review of the very best evidence, official and otherwise, brought out iu recent years in regard to the sale of American manufactured goods abroad at a lower price than they are sold at home. The readers of The Times and Democrat are invited to write to the Refcrm Club in regard to this pamphlet. Address Reform Club, mom- 314. No. 42- Broadway. New York. Senator Borah, in defending the lumber tax. declared that "the great est foes to the protective policy are found in the ranks of protectionists who would always make exceptions." The Commoner says the advocates of free lumber might have retorted that (.tie hardest load the protective poli cy has to carry is the well-grounded accusation that high tariff bills are made by a few privileged individu als who levy a tribute on the rest Of the country. By the way. does the record show any acquaintance between Senator Borah and the lum ber barons? I Plutocrats in the Pillory. Senator Dolliver, Republican, rep resents in part a State which never voted for a Democratic presidential candidate. He is a stalwart partisan whose loyalty to the organization is no more in question west of the Mississippi than is that of Senator Aldrich on the shores of Narragan *ett Bay. In the course of a two days' speech Mr. Dolliver has assert ed, Intimated or Insinuated: 1. That the cotton and woolen schedules of the pending tariff bill were prepared by interested partieB in New York and that many of their sponsors in the senate do not know what they mean. 2. That whereas there is a pre tense that the measure reduces tax ation, the fact is that there is an increase, and designedly so. 3. That the tin-plate tariff of 1889 brought into existance a mon opolized industry which was at length unloaded on the United States ?steel corporation, with a rake-off to the promoters sufficient to buy the Rock Island railroad. 4. That many of the rates in the existing law and in the proposed bill are so extravagant and unneces sary as to bring the policy of pro tection Into ridicule. 5. That In 1890 McKinley permit ted the beneficiaries of the tariff on wool to write their own section in his bill. 6. That in 1897 DingTey's avowed purpose to reduce tariff taxation was defeated by the clamor of the men interested. 7. That in the pending bill the tax upon goods containing small quantities of wool Is excessive and especially burdensome upon the poor. 8. That the avaricious are using the protective tariff as an asset in financing conspiracies in restraint "of trade. 9. That only once in forty years has the public interest of the wel fare of the Republican party been made paramount over sordid private considerations. 10. That the tariff has corrupted American industry and made great industries mere adjuncts to political agitation. \ The New York World says the precis3 from which the Payne-Aldrich bill shall assume upcu passage can not be foretold, but it will be many a day, we believe, before this Re publican indictment of the privilege and plutocracy of protection will be forgotten. The South's Interest. When Congressman Ransdall, of l/ouisiaua, had his tariff speech print ed for distribution, he put at the top of the page, as if for a text, the following: "The South has a deep iuterest in tariff and is rapidly changing its views on the subject. This is especially true of Louisiana which has many industries which de rive great benefit from tariff enact ment." What is the South's "interest" in the tariff? asks the Commoner. What percentage of her people are benefited by a high tariff? Mr. Rausdall ought to have said that the men in the South who have a per sonal interest in tariff taxation are exerting an increasing influence up on the senators and representatives of the South, and that some of these representatives are rapidjly chang ing their views ou the tariff ques tion. lu Louisiana, as in other States, a small percentage of the people make money out of a high tariff, while the rest of the people bear the burden, but the few 1 who make the money exert them selves in nominating conventions and when congress is in ses sion, while the average man is .scratching around to try and make money euough to pay the taxes im posed on him for the benefit of the people who make money out of the high tariff. It is time that the taxpayers woke up and challenge the tax eaters to a battle royal. The South is just learning what the North has known tor a loug while, namely, that a special privilege can easily be se cured by the organized few while the unorganized many find it diffi- J cult to protect their rights and guard ) their interest. Another of Bryan's Vagaiies. Texas now has a bank deposit guaranty or insurance law which is optional and allows a choice between a guaranty fund plan and a bonding company plan. Three or four days ago a di;patch was sent out that the banks were hostile to either plan, and that only one institution in the State had manifested a disposition to accept any such arrangement. Now comes the report that within the two or three days since the measure became a law twenty State banks have accepted its piivisions, all cltuooiug the guaranty fund plan. This means, of course, that most or ail of the other banks will also come in unu?r tho act. At least five "tales now have some form of deposit guar anty, or mutual insurance of depos its, in operation?Texas, Oklahoma, Kaudus, Nebraska and one uf the Da kotas. "Thus," s.iy.= the Springfield Republican,, which supported Tat't in the Presidential election, "upon so much of the issues which divided the parties in the last Presidential con test Bryan is proving the winner and Taft the loser. The latter strongly deuouncod the scheme and presented posta; savings banks instead. And uothing is now heard of postal sav ings banks." Yes, this is another Bryan vagary that the Republicans are a!>out to afpnroprlate. About all the good things they advocate Bryan originated them. President Taft now wants an income tax. This was in the Democratic platform, but the Republican platform was silent about it. Taft is just as good a purloiner as Roosevelt use to be. I The young Turks, now in power in JTurkey, have brought about at j least one reform. This is in the matter of veils. The women of the new party are gradually abandoning j the veil as a covering for the face, using it merely as a head dress and a neck ornament. MOTHERS WHO HAVE DAUGHTERS Find Help in Lydia E.

Better Not Get Dyspepsia If you can Kelp it Kodol prevents Dyspepsia, by effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion* Bat don't trifle with Indigestion. A great many people who have trifled with indigestion, have been sorry for it?when nervous or chronic dyspepsia resulted, and they have not been able to cure it Use Kodo! and prevent having Dyspepsia. Everyone Is subject to lndig ?? tlon. Stomach derangement follows stomach abuse, just as naturally and just as surely as a sound and healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol. When you experience sourness of stomach, belching of gas and nauseating fluid, bloated sensation, gnawing pain in the pit of the stomach, heart burn (so-called), diarrhoea, headaches, dullness or chronic tired feeling?you need Ko doL And then the quicker you take Kodol?the better. Eat what you want, let Kodol digest it. Ordinary pepsin "dyspepsia tab lets," phyBics, etc., are not likely to be of much benefit to you, in digestive aliments. Pepsin is only a partial digester?and physics aro not dlgesterB at all. Kodol Is a perfect digester. II you could see Kodol dlge3tingevery particle of food, of all kinds, in tha glass test-tubes in our laboratories, you would know this just as wed a3 we do.
