Would you like to feel Young Again? K: r I / Many old people are lame, nemiy all are weak. Worst of all, is that feeling of languor, of inability to act, j of weariness at trifling exertion. Nothing will make the old If young again, but Vinol will I* prevent 99 out of 100 old people from feeling so old. There is no humbug about it. We found out about Vinol, and tried it every way before we decided to put it on the market and guarantee it. Now we believe that almost any tired, discouraged old person who will take a bottle of Vinol and use it as directed will feel better right away. , It will increase their strength, relieve their lameness and i brighten their spirits. ^ It does this by nourishing. Don’t blame the old folks for being blue and cross. Take W home a bottle of Vinol.

Opinions Given by a Leading Democrat of tlie Nation for tl.e I'eopie to Think Them Oyer—Anti-Trust Jiills The President’s •‘L’11 pretentious” Trip. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Washington, D. C., April 9—"The democratic party can win and will win in 1904, if the convention is guid ed by common sense,” said one c f the leading democrats of the nation to : me a few days ago. I cannot give his name at this time because he is not ready to be quoted,but he nevertheless wauls bis opinions filtered through the press of the country in order that the people may think them over. We no v have three times the vol ume of money in circulation that we had in 1896. and the result is that we have comparative prosperity where then wo had stagnation in all lines of business. Therefore, the money ques tion is no longer an issue. "The question of special privilege, the parent of monopoly,and opposition to whi ;h is a fixed principle of the democratic party, is one upon which all democrats can unite, fight under the same banner and bring victory. On this platform, constructed as i above indicated, I think it will be wise i for us to place a young and vigorous democrat whose democracy is known by his work, whose name will appeal to the laboring masses of tbe country a-* well as to the business interests and acceptable to both. We must take into consideration the conditions that confront us. The farmer has not yet begun to feel the fact that the trusts are charging him more lor everything he buys than they do the foreign buyer of the same article, and the majority of the farmers are ‘‘standpatters,” and while those who are democrats probably would not vote the republican ticket, they might not realize the significance of the elec tion. In the face of this we must nominate a tmn who has the confi dence and can carry the vast labor vote of the cities of the country. An over whelming majority of this vote wi.l turn the scale in many of the pivotal states of the union, especially in the Last and the middle West, and bring victory to the democratic party. With that kind of leader on a platform that denounces monopoly and special priv ilege in all its ratifications and de mands tariff revision, trust control and, where necessary, trust extinc tion, an income tax and election of United States Senators by vote of the people direct, we can and will win. * * * I have repeatedly stated in this cor respondence that the so-called "anti trust” bills which the republicans permitted to necome laws last winter will in no way benefit the people or curb the trusts. There is nothing in the party record and nothing in tne bills, except the titles, that torebode evil to the trusts. It will, therefore, surprise few men to know that the real authors of the bills are the trusts themselTes—the very ones that tried to hoodwink the people by sending telegrams to the Senators ordering them not to pass these "anti-trust” bills. The New York Journal Com merse and Commercial Bulletin of March 2.), contains the story of the authorship of the Elkins anti-rebate bill. A uispatch to that paper of that date from Chicago says that at a meet ing of western railway executive offi cials to discuss tbe Elkins law, it was stated that A. J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania; Paul Morton, Second Vice-President of the Santa Fe;acd E. I). Kenna, Fmt Vice- President and general counsel of the same road, are authors of the bill. It is stated that the first draft of the bill was made by Mr. Kenna and em bodied the ideas of the three men named. This draft was ubmitted to the President, Attorney-Gem ral and the chairman of the Interstate Com merce Commission, and subsequently was amended As finally introduced, however, the bill was essentially the bill prepared from the suggestions made by Messrs. Cassatt, Morton and Kenna, after repeated conferences at the White House. Mr Morton says of the law: ‘‘I believe the act will secure the maintenance of freight and passenger rates, and this will be of inestimable benefit to tbe entire coun try, the railroad, the shippers and to consumers.” There is no doubt in the mind of any sane man that the bill will bene fit the railroads, but bis statement that it will benefit shippers and con sumers is a gratuitous insult to the intelligence of the people of the coun try. The railroads can be benefitted only by increased freight rates, and these must be paid by shippers and consumers. The railroads will get tbe benefit and the people will pay the freight. It is a case of “heads I win and tails you lose.” Even in the face of these facts the republicans,will still continue to call the Elkins law an anti-trust measure. The people can’t beat such a game so lotig as they allow tbe trusts and the republican party to shuffle and deal tbe cards and bold the stakes.as well. Chari.kb A. Edwards.
