When yon seal an envelope what makes it remain closed. Is Jt the Quality of the paper or the Quality of the mucilage? The durability or naint is the nnrelinsepd oil r?art of tho nnir-ir ' not the pigments. Pure Unseed oil is to paint, exactly what "all-woolness" is to clothes. Therefore you don't have to take c?r word for the quality of Kinloch Paint. You put the Quality and durability into "Kinloch" yourself when you mix your own pure linseed oil with it. Kinloch Paint is made frc m the old time-tried materials used by practical painters everywhere, and the only difference between "Kinloch" and any really hiphsrrade ready-mixed is in our selling it i:i paste form,ready to thin with puro lir.sec-o. oil. All prepared paint is first ground into *t thick paste similar to "Kinloch." bxit v. o stop there. The ready-mixed paint maker goes on and adds the oil, (something your fourteen-year-old boy can do) and the cicu er and consumer have to pay the renily mixed paint price for that oil, or from three to four times more than for oil the-; know to be pure.

Senator Knex'e Statement. In the early part of tills campaign Judge Parker stated: "The common law as developed affords a complete legal remedy against monopolies." and ex-President: Cleveland in commenting upon the decision in the Northern Securities case saaci: mere is a uiHimci umerence drawn between ml!roads and. purely producing corporations. It could not be said that the sugar trust or the. beef trust or the Standard Oil Company was directly epgaged in In tor-State transportation. They were engaged in the manufacture and sale of products." Within the last few days Mr. Cleveland In a public speech criticised the Republican administration for not "running amuclc" in the business interests of the country, which so eminent a phitoglst as he knows means, that he criticizes the President for not dashing wildly at everything in sight and destroying the guilty and innocent alike; while Judge Parker only yesterday bewails the fact that corporations are permitted to violate the law and that they are contributing to the Republican cause. What can bo the reason for this change of front? Mr. Cleveland on March 17. 1901, notwithstanding the decree of the Circuit Court pronouncing the "beef trust" unlawful, says 1L WUS UU L W I1.IH IX I. JIL' prUIllIJlLIUIl Ut the Jaw, thus throwing the weight of his opinion in favor of the "beef trust" and against the United States at a ! time when the case was pending and ; undecided in the highest court; while on October 21, 1901. he infer- ' entially demanded that all incorpo- ' rated business should he wantonly assailed. Is there any connection between ( Judge Parker's abandonment cf his , futile common law panacea, which meant immunity to the),trusts, and :he fact, as he alleges., that the trusts . ion tribute to the success of the lie- ' Dublican party? Do the principles of law which Jlr. Cleveland thought . ast March protected manufacturing monopolies change in October, and f so does the change affect the Bel- ? .y i * C mont trusts or only those which are ^ suspected of seeing in the perpet.uaion of Republican administration the ;ontinued general prosperity of the :ountry? . ^ Parker's Boomerang. ^ Judue Parker, in his speech Mon- ? lay, also said: j "Many years have passed since my c ictive participation in politics. In the a neantime a startling change has taltcn j. dace in the method of conducting j :ampaigns; a change not for the bet- j, er but for the worse; a change that a tas introduced debasing and corrupt a nethods which threaten the integrity c if our government." t It is astounding that Judge Parker a hould be willing to challenge the t omparison which this statement invitably calls out. When Judge Par:er last actively participated In poll- S Ics off the bench he was chairman of a he New York State Democratic com- b litteo which elected David B. Hill as ? overnor. He was a cog In the Hill P tachine. There never has been in S ur political history methods more ebasing and corrupt than those of the. jj. till machine in New-York and they tl niminated in the steal of the State H y the Maynard frauds and the over y ^Dodd sioes
