According to the official count the
Republican plurality In Pennsylvania
at tho Inst election was 150,410. Pcnn
eylvanla Is ono of tlio best children In
the Republican household.
President John Mitchell of tho Unit
cd Mlno Woikeis runs tho risk of in
currlng tho dlsplcasuro ot a great
many conscientious union workmen, in
telling the Anthracite Strike Commis
sion that up does not believe In boy
cotts. Tho progress of, unionism Is In
that direction and tlrao will demon

words.

Some of tho Republican members
of Western delegations in Congress
arp Insisting that candidates shall
pledge themselves to favor tariff re
vision legislation If elected to tho
Speakership, Tho result Is that two
of tho candidates lmvo climbed Into
tho tariff revision bandwagon. They
(will bo Just as eager to get out ot it
when tho trust overseers In Congress
crack tho party whip.
GonernI Secretary Hooper's Idea of
what tho Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation building in Akron should bo,
may seem to a thoughtless observer
to be Just a llttlo extravagant. And
yet maturo reflection can scarcely call
it so. Tho building to bo put up
must within a very few years meet
the requirements of a city of 100,000
population. Secretary Hooper has tho
right idea, too, Ir advocating plenty
of sunlight and ovory-day comforts
In preference to fancy "trimmings."
Wlillo It Is not extremely probable
that Gon. Chris. Dick will bo the1 next
speaker of the House of Representa
tives, ho cannot but bo gratified to
know that at least two Ohio editors,
naked for nn expression ot their choice
In tho Speakership race, give only
his mime. And lnco the sponkui'

Buoulrt not Akron's distinguished cltl-

laurels gracefully. Ills expcrlmicG In

Ladderman Frank Srnjth Meets
With a Serious AccidentWhilo
Answering an Alarm His
Story of the Events That
Followed.
While on its way to n flro the sud
den Jolting of the hook-and-ladder
truck throw Fireman Frank Smith
from his position on tho running
board. Ho struck tho pavement head
foremost and was still unconscious
when brought to the hospital. It was
feared by tho house physician that ho
had received Internal injuries whlcn
might prove fatal.
Smith Is stationed at , tho Central
Flro Station, corner Fifth and Valley
streets, Burlington, la., and In refer
ring to tlio accident, he said to a re
porter: "My whole system had re
ceived n violent shock which affected
my nerves fearfully, Tho doctor said
I had nervous prostration. I would
ofton start trembling out of a trou
bled sleep, covered with a cold prcs
plratlon, nnd imagining something
liorrlblo was about to happen. There
,would be times .when my whole body
wpulfl be. numb and then naln there
would bo terrible cramps In my limbs.
"For a long time after leaving tho
hospital I was so weak thnt I could
not walk across tho room and my
strength -steadily refused to return.
I could not cat and tho tonics and
appetizers they gave rao did mi no
good. I was too sick to go on duty
nnd. tho doctor said It would take a
long-time to lecuperato. I wns dis
couraged and disheartened.
"Then a friend persuaded mo to take
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo
People. Tliey gave mo stiengtii,
quieted my nerves so that I could get
n refreshing night's sleep, my appe
tite came back and I soon began to
feel better. In a short time I was
cured and now I feel perfectly well
and strong."
Dr, Williams' Pink Plllfl for Polo
People havo a double action on tho
blood nnd on tho nerves. It Ih not
claimed that thefco pills aro a cure-all,
but tho very nature of the remedy
makes It olllcnclous In a wider range
of diseases than any other. It Is a
scicntlllc preparation designed to euro
disease through a direct action on

lector to tho board of, general ap
praisers. Tills board ls collecting
testimony, and may nnhounco fjs
decision in a few months.
The Iron Ago of October 10 tells us
thnt "tho difficulties over tho duty on
steel billets havo stopped all negotia
tions for foreign steel for tho present."
It gives this additional explanation:
"Probably tho most serious feature
of tho matter from tho standpoint of
tho Importers nnd of tho rolling mills
who havo purchased foreign billots,
Is tho penalty for nllcgcd undervalua
tions, wlilch In scmo cases would
reach a very largo sum as compared
with tho advance In tho rato of duty.
In itself in certain territory, tho higher
rato of duty on billets would not cut
off Importations."
Tho penalty is "an additional duty
of ono per cent, of tho total appraised
valuo thereof for each ono per cent,
that such appraised value exceeds the
valuo declared in tho entry." This
means that If tho appraised valuo Is
raised from $18 to $24 per ton tho Im
porters must pay a penalty of eight
dollnrs per ton In addition to the duty
of ?8.0J. Thus their billets will cost
them .$.14.00 n ton, plus about six
dollars freight, or a total of over $40.
In view of tho abovo circumstances

perity and more about trust despotism

According to i report Just Issued by
tho Treasury Ruroau of statistics there
has been n largo lncrcnso slnco last re
port In tho amount of manufacturers'
supplies Imported from abroad, duo for
tho most part to tho efforts of Inde
pendent manufacturers to cscnpo exac
tions Imposed upon them by trusts
which control tho homo market. In

40.80 per cent of tho total Importations.

THE WISE GUYS OF KOKOMO
vs.
THE BILLION DOLLAR STEEL
TRUST.
Wo nro "up ngslnst It" "U being,
of course, tho trusts which are charg
ing exorbltnnt prices for their pro
ducts and will not penult us to pur
chase goods outsldo of their dominion.
Wo ennnot bent them. They aro tho
"whole push" while their party that
is, tho Republican Jiarty-ls in power.
Somo wise Guys In Indiana thought
they could beat tlio tariff trust com
bination. Thoy figured out tho groat
proflU to )io mado by manufacturing
nnd solllngi wire, wlro nails, etc., nt
present prices, They saw visloiiH of
great wealth right In front of them.
They built n mill at Kokomo. Ind
which cost them nearly $1,000,000.
Thoy got ready a few weeks ago to
manufacture that Is they thought
they ,woro ready. Then thoy
discovered thnt thoro Is in this
country an organization called tho
United States Steel corporation, and
thnt It ta In business and politics on
Its own account, and runs a few hun
dred rnllls nnd customs houses, and,
through Its coal and orn mine, as
sists the Almighty in running tho uni
verse. Incidentally it controls tho out
put of eteel billots, and will not sell
thorn pxcept at exorbitant prices. But
these Hooslcr Guys wcro not cosy
marks. Thoy did moio figuring and
investigating, and concluded that thoy
dOuld. buy steel billets in Belgium or
Germany, pay the duty and freight
on them, and lay them down nt their
mill for two dollars per ton less than
tho price domanded by the steel trust.
Proud of their resourcefulness and
lndepondonco of tho steel octopus, they
parted with more of their good monoy.
Prldo goeth before n fall.
They bought 20,000 tons of billets
at $18 per ton. They expected to poy
a duty of $0.72 per ton, or $134,000 on
tho lot. Thoy expected this lot of
billots would last them three months.
At thjs rate they ilgurcd their tnrllf
charges on billets at $5.17,000 a year.
But they wore not politicians, and
they oxpected to got this amount, and
moro too, back from tho people who
would buy wlro and nails. They
raised $1.11,000 nnd hud It ready to
pny tlio duty on tho blllotB when they
reached thp custom houso at
Philadelphia. Alns, It was not
enough. They wcro foiled again
by tho steel trust. Tho col
lector had gotten somo tips from
"It" that Is, his master and ho had
mado n "now ruling." Ho said that
tho rate of duty on steel billets valued
above ono cent per pound ($22.10 per
ton) was $8.00, Instead ot $0.72.
"But," said the wlso Guys from
Kokomo, as n now ray of hopo light
ed up ther blank features, "wo only
paid $18 Bj ton for these billots."
Whorest tho steel trust customs
offlclnl smiled and said: "Yes, yes;
but tho law pernilts us to fix tho duty
on the actual market valuo of tho bll
lets In the markets of tho country from'
which tho samo havo been Imported.
Tho Gorman manufacturers who, like
ours, nro highly protected, havo, ns
jmh should havo known, two prices
for their blllots-ono for their domes
tic customors nnd a vory much lower
prlco for oxport. Wo havo beon told
to disregard tho export price, which
you paid, and to collect duty on tho
Gorman domestic price, which Is
about $21 por ton. Cough up $178,200
If you want your billots!"
Tho vQiild-bo manufacturers of Ko-

Tho foregoing article Is taken from
"Tho Public" of Nov. 1st,
It tells Its own eloquent story of
how tho tariff now In force, and as
now administered In tills country, is
but n mqchlno for fleecing tho public
In tho interests ot somo large com
bines. And yet Hanna tells us thnt
th6ro nro no trusts, Forakcr that the
trusts aro blessings, nnd tho Presi
dent that tho tariff has nothing in
common with them.
We should add that on Saturday
last tho board of general appraisers
rendered its decision, confirming the
valuation fixed upon the billets by
tho Philadelphia Customs officers.
There is nothing left for the Kokomo
pcoplo but to go Into the hands of
receivers. This Is tho way the tariff
protects (!) "home Industries."

Two-thirds of the inmates of our hospitals aro women. They are in most cases either for treatment
or for an operation, mado necessary by advanced stages of female troubles which have resulted in ovaritis,
a tumor, or displacement of the womb.
"AN OPERATION NECESSARY."
How these words after the examination strike terror to a woman's soul, and 'with what regrets sha
hears them, when she considers that the oporation has becomo necessary through her own neglect. Female
derangements cannot euro themselves, ana neglecting the warnings of nature only means putting it off until
there is no cure. Tho woman who lets her trouble make headway pays the penalty of a dangerous opera
tion and a lifetime of impaired usefulness at the best, and the operation often proves fatal when her lifo
might have been saved by Lydla E. Plnlcliain's Vegetable Compound.
When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstru
ation, weakness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that
bearing down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (offlatu
. fence), general debility, indigestion and nervous prostration ; or are beset with
such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, ner
vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, and " want-to-be-left-alone " feelings, and
the blues, they should remember that there is one tried and never-failing
remedy; Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound at once removes such troubles.
READ THE FOLLOWING LETTERS.
1 "Dear Mes. Pinkiiam: I cannot tell you how much good you have done me and how thankful I
am to you for it. For flvo years I havo not been free from pain for a day. I have had backaches, headaches,
stand those awful dragging sensations with leucorrhcea, and when menstruation appeared I was in such a
Condition I could hardly sit up. I doctored all the time, but nothing helped me, and I was told that an
operation was necessary.
" Two months ago a friend suggested that I try Lydia E. Plnkliam's Vegetable Compound. No
one knows what it has done for me and how thankful I am for it. It brought me the first well days I have
had for five years. It did for me what doctors could not do, and I want every suffering woman to know
about it."t Loui8x, Naueu, 761 E. 100th St, New York City.
"Dbak Mrs. Pinkiiam: I wish to thank you for yhat Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has done for me. I had terrible hemorrhages, being lacerated from tho birth of my child. The doctor told
me that if I would have an operation I would be well and strong. I submitted to it, but was -worse than
before ; no one knows whatI suffered. Finally a friend advised me to try your Vegetable Compound ; I did
bo, and commenced to feel better j I continued its use, and it has dono.for me what doctors could not do, I
am strong and woll. If Avomen with any kind of female troubles would only consult you before submitting
to an operation they would be spared many hours of pain and suffering. I cannot thank you enough for
what you have done for me." Anna Kirohiioff, 1C6 E. 100th St., New York City.
