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.

“DEMOCRATIC PARTY
CANWINJN 1904
If the Convention is Guided
by Common Sense,”
SAYS A PARTY LEADER.
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.
