After supper the next evening Farmer Brown said: “I guess I must be getting ready to go home. I have enjoyed these lessons very much and I want to tell you now, John, that you have made plain to my mind many things concerning which I was in doubt when I came here. I think you have demonstrated that conditions among the farmers, laboring men and others in the state of lowa are undoubtedly much better this year than they were four years ago. Now, I am not just ready to say that it is all on account of the administration of the Republican party, but I will admit the probability that any change in the way of running ' the government just now would cause ] people in business to become uneasy ( and would disturb affairs so that it 1 might bring on hard times again. Of ' course. I don’t understand all the de- 1 tails of government, as you would say, 1 but I guess I know enough to let well 1 enough alone. I can see from what 1 you have told me that there is no use 1 in denying the fact that there is pros- 1 perity ii\ this country. Now, whether 1 this thing that we call good times has » come to stay or not I don’t really know, 1 and as I don’t know I think it would be 1 good horse sense for me not to trv to r tinker up what might seem to me a i better way of doing things ami then 1 have it turn out as bad as it did when 1 Cleveland was president. But there is 1 one thing I would like to talk to you 1 about a little, and that is the trusts*. I i have an idea that most everybody t thinks the trusts a bad thing. 1* don’t 1 know how to control them or get rid t of them, and what I would like to 1 know is what the Bryan fellows pro- l pose to do.” What the Democrats Did Not Do. "Well, father, your last question Is the most difficult one you have asked me yet,” replied John. "If anyone can tell what the Bryan fellows propose to do I would like to hear him myself. I can tell you, though, what they did not do when they had a chance. They did not vote for a constitutional amend ment in the last congress, giving the general government authority to con trol these trusts. You see some time ago the supreme court of the United States in what is known as the Knight case, under the law of July 2, 1800, de cided in efTect that however much trusts, combinations and conspiracies to monopolize manufacture and produc tion affect and restrain commerce such result.-, are indirect and incidental, and that therefore the power to regulate commerce dot's not include power to regulate or repress such monopolies, combinations and conspiracies. Ibis decision by the supreme court made it plain to the Republican member* of the last house of congress that in or der to bring about uniform legislation which would control the trusts It was necessary that a constitutional amend ment be adopted. To that end an amendment was presented in the house which provided, among other things, especially that congress should have power to ‘define, regulate, prohibit or dissolve trusts, monoplles or combina tions. whether existing in the form of a corporation or otherwise.’ The sev eral states were also by this amend ment authorized to continue to exercise such power to control or dissolve trusts In any manner not In eon’llct with the laws of the United States. Hryftn Kniloreril Amendment. "Now this amendment was deemed sufficient to give the congress the pow er necessary to deal with the trusts in a proper manner. It would seem ns though there could be no objections to such a measure. In fact, at the trust conference, held in Chicago in Septem ber of last year, Mr. Bryan himself en dorsed such a plan. lie said, in his speech on that occasion, after outlining a plan for general law controlling the trusts, ‘lf It Is unconstitutional, and so declared by t'ho supreme court, I am In favor of us amendment to the constitu tion that will give to congress the pow er to destroy every trust In the coun try.' Later on in that same conference and, to be more explicit, on Sept. 16. 1889, he said, while engaged In a cob- troversy with Mr. Bourke Cockran, who, by the way, at that time sup ported the trusts, ‘But, suppose the law 1 is passed and is held unconstitutional, then we can amend the constitution. The gentleman suggests that it is a difficult thing to get two-thirds of both houses In favor of an amendment, and three-fourths of the states. That is true, it is a difficult thing, but if the people want to destroy the trusts you can get two-thirds of both houses and three-fourths of the states.’ “Now, it appears to me that Mr. Bry an certainly endorsed the constitu tional amendment at tills trust confer ence on Sept. 16, 181)0, but what did the members of ills party do in con gress less than ten months later on? I will tell you what they did. On page 6929 of the Congressional Record of the last session of congress you will find the vote taken in the house on the anti trust amendment. It is necessary, you know, father, in order for congress to pass a constitutional amendment that two-thirds of the members of both houses should vote for it. When the roll of the house was called, June 1, 1900, on the passage of this resolution, the vote stood: Yeas, 154; nays, 132. As two-thirds did not vote in favor of the amendment it failed of adoption. Democrats Defeated Trust Amendment. “Now, of the 154 members who voted for the resolution 149 were Republic ans, four were Democrats and one was elected by the Democrats and Silver itiesin Montana. Of the 132 votes which were cast in the negative, there were but two cast by Republicans and 130 by Democrats. “Doesn’t this record show that, de spite their arguments against the trusts and despite the fact that Bryan, when talking for a record, favored this sort of legislation, the Democrats, when they hnd an opportunity to prove the honesty of their purpose by their acts, refused to vote for a measure which would have been a practical solution of the trust problem. If this does not prove the insincerity of the Democrats in their arguments against the trusts, I, for my part, fall to see what sort of proof would be necessary.” “I did not understand this subject be fore, John,” said Farmer Brown. “It looks to me as though the Democrats are trying to take snap judgment on us fellows out in the country who are not able to under stand their actions as those do who know more of what is going on. A\ e farmers read the newspapers and listen to what the imliticians say, and that is about our only source of in formation, and when the Democratic speakers come around and talk about the opposition of their party to the trusts we are sometimes misled by them and believe that they are telling the truth, but I am glad to be able to know Just how they have acted when they really had an opportunity to put themselves on record and do something that might actually affect the trusts.” Imperialism a Scarecrow. “Their other ’paramount issue’ is im perialism,” said John. “Now, I really don’t think it is necessary for me to say much on that subeet, for it is more of a scarecrow than anything else. The United States has expanded, and whether we would or not we have got the Philippines and we have got Porto Rico, and along with these islands we have been pushed into a position in the front rank of the nations. Of our du ties in our new position I need say nothing. It seems to me that the whole situation is simply summed up something like this: The United States has become a world power; the other nations of the world acknowledge this. They now ask what we propose to do in regard to International questions, and they are ready to consult with us before doing anything to affect inter national policy. On account of our Iso lated position we cannot be drawn into the land-grabbing schemes of con tinental nations, but we do occupy a position as a sort of intermediary among the other nations. It seems to me that no one can rightly estimate the great resimnsibilities of this position and the great good which the United States will be able to do by reason thereof. No, father, there is nothing in this talk of Imperialism that gives ino a moment’s fear for the future. I feel rather that it is a great and glo rious thing for the United Stntes to be placed in the position which she now occupies, and as for all this talk of an empire, why, we cannot become an empire unless the majority of our people so determine, and I certainly have faitli in the people. Militarism an Insult to Our Soldiers. “Then there Is that talk about mili tarism. That's hll bosh, too. l)o you think for a moment that our so-called immense standing army, which, in fact. 1 believe would average about ten soldiers to the population of an ordi nary lowa county, is such a menace to the libery of this nation? For my part, I have got a better idea of the boys who wear the uniform of the United States and follow its flag. I don’t be lieve that they are disposed to over throw tills government, for which they have shown themselves ready to lay down their lives. “I have undertaken to show you, father, that the so-called paramount is sues of this campaign, as claimed by t lie Bryanltes, are nothing but spectres. Their true puriiose is the enactment in the law of Bryan’s sole and only plat form. which is 16 to 1. That'ls all there is to the Democratic side of the a rgument.

"The president replied: There is but one issue, and that is tin* prosperity of tin* country.’ ‘‘Father, do you want any further proof Unit the president was right?” "No, my son." replied Farmer Brown. “I am perfeetly convinced and 1 am going home and shall vote the Repub lican ticket tills fall, and all as the re su.w of tin* lessons 1 have takeu since coming to Dcs Moines.” “Shake, father," said John.

A curious sight might have been seen m England a couple of centuries ago. At Whitehall or some other royal resi dence a little group of people would ahrinkingly await the coming of the king, in order to be "touched for the evil." The specific "evil” was scrofula, and it was the popular belief that scrof ula could be cured by the royal touch. Hence the common name for scrofula was King’s Evil. Nowadays we know that scrofula is a disease of the blood and that even were there magic in a kingly touch, no ex ternal treatment could cure scrofula. The medicine which cures scrofula must deal with the blood. It must be able to eradicate and eliminate the poisons which corrupt the blood and breed and feed disease. When the blood is cleansed, the pimples, blotches, boils and other eruptions disappear, ulcers and sores are healed and the flesh becomes sound and healthy. THE RIGHT WAY to cleanse the blood from scrofula is to choose that remedy which has cured thousands of people who suffered from scrofula in its most grevious forms. “ I am using a' good many of your medicines in my practice,” writes Dr. Joseph Fike, of Lost Springs, Marion Co., Kansas. "Ten years ago there was an emigration from Rusland to this country ana there was a lady in the company who was badly affected with that dreadful disease, scrofula. Her mouth and throat were in an awful con dition, and there were lumps on the out side, below the jaws, the size of a hen’s egg. Other doctors had been called ana they said it was a fatal case. I felt confident that none of my remedies would benefit her any. It came to my mind that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery was recommended for such cases, so I went to the drug store and bought one bottle and gave it to her to use as directed. Five bottles cured her and she is well to-day. She is married now and has three healthy children.” Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov ery judged solely by the cures it has effected is without doubt the most pow erful and most perfect blood purifying medicine of the century. It is a radi cal remedy. It goes to the root of the disease. Some preparations containing mineral poisons such as mercury are offered as cures for scrofula. These medicines only suppress the symptoms of disease for a while and give the skin Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat.

It is the uniform testimony of tboat who have been cured of scrofulous dis* eases by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery," that the cure is permanent. In many instances the testimonial to the cure has not been offered until the lapse of several years proved how thoroughly and lastingly the medicine had done its work. No class of people are more grateful for the blood purifying power of the "Discovery" than women whose faces have been marked and marred by pimples and other eruptions. The smooth skin and clear complexion which come back when " Golden Med ical Discovery” has swept the blood clean of its corrupting poisons, are a source of unfeigned delight to those who for years have had their beauty marred by some form of eruptive dis ease. Beauty begins in the blood, and the first step to beauty is to cleanse the blood of the corrupt ing impurities which weaken the body and be foul the flesh. THE SCOURGE OP LTVflljyS CIVILIZATION. From half civilized o* wCx*. unsanitary countries come the plagues which deci i'll mate the teeming popula tions of the Orient. Sani tary science and medical | VwwErf In skill have banished the l&fJHlIll'fl from among our- MweßXilju selves, but civilization has IwinKaxll its own scourge in that fejCreaPyffiH form of scrofula which attacks the lungs and is popularly known as con- I ft 'TOff sumption. V ui Plagues are not per w sistent. They appear and jz disappear again for years. iG&iw/y Scrofula of the lungs or consumption is a persistent I Ti disease. Every day of fc'J’ 1 every year it gathers in its Psy . 1 victims; one-sixth of all tjL/ deaths from disease being attributed to consumption. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med f ical Discovery cures scrof ula wherever it finds it. It eliminates the scrofu lous poison from the blood and so the organs which are fed by blood are re lieved from the scrofulous poisons which destroy them. Obstinate, deep-seated coughs, bronchitis, bleeding of the lungs and similar dangerous forms of disease are perfectly ana permanently cured by "Golden Medical Discover}'.” "Dr. Pierce’s medicine has not only benefited me greatly but it has done wonders for my two sons,” writes Mrs. M. H*trick, of Demster, Oswego Co., N. Y. " Both had scrofula. I have lost two daughters in less than five years with consumption and scrofula. My eldest son was taken two or three years ago with hemorrhage from the lungs. It troubled him for over a year. He took Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and has not had a hemorrhage in over a year. My younger son haa scrofulous sores on his neck ; had two lanced, but has not had any since he commenced to take your medicine.” ABSOLUTELY RELIABLE. ‘WA-: " Golden Medical Discovery ” can bo absolutely relied on as a safe and sure medicine for diseases caused by a scrof ulous condition of the blood.
