Miss Delia Janveau Globe Hotel Ottawa Ont is from one of the oldest and best
Mown French Canadian families in Canada In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine
Co of Columbus Ohio she says
Last spring my blood seemed clogged up my digestion poor my
head ached and I felt languid and tired all the time My physician
prescribed for me but a friend advised me to try Peruna I tried it
and am pleased to state that I found it a wonderful cleanser and pur
ifier of the system In three weeks 1 was like a new woman my
appetite had increased I felt buoyant light and happy and without
an ache or pain Peruna is a reliable family medicine
Adia Brittain of Sekitan O writes
After using your wonderful Peruna
three months I have had great relief I
had continual heaviness in my stomach
was bilious and had fainting spells but
they all have left me since using Peruna
Adia Brittain

OUR FOREIGN TRADE
LARGE INCREASE BOTH IN IM
PORTS AND EXPORTS
Under Conditions So Satisfactory It
Would Seem That Experiments
With Our Economic System Are
Neither Necessary Nor Desirable
The export trade of the United
States is rapidly resuming Its normal
conditions It exhibits no pressing
need of artificial stimulants in the
form of special trade treaties Febru
ary figures of the Bureau of Statistics
show the largest exports of any Feb
ruary in the history of our commerce
and also show that the exports of the
three months ending with February
were larger than those of the corres
ponding period of any earlier year On
the import side the figures also show
a continuation of the growth which
has characterized the last two years
The figures of the eight months end
ing with February suggest that the Im
ports of the United States in the fiscal
year 1903 may exceed 1000000000
while the export figures seem likely to
exceed 1400000000
In the short month of February
alone the exports amounted to 125
502105 which is 12000000 in excess
of any preceding February and more
than double the figures of February
1893 in which month trie total exports
were 59931984 Taking the three
months ending with February 1903
the total exports are 407526200
against 215151471 in the tlyee
months ending with February 1893
Thus considering either the month of
February or the three months ending
with February 1903 the total exports
are not only larger than in that period
of any preceding year but practically
double those of a decade ago
The following table shows the total
exports from the United States in the
three months of December January
and February from 1893 to 1903

INSISTS ON THE IOWA IDEA
Gov Cummins Evidently Bent
on
Keeping in the Public Eye
The redoubtable young governor of
Iowa Mr Cummins has an idea and
cannot get rid of it He eats it
sleeps it and works it on all occasions
He announces that he will insist from
now until the national convention that
the Iowa idea of tariff revision be
made a feature of the platform He
is not a free trader but he is against
a tariff on iron and steel for instance
and on other undefined things which
go to make up monopolies All of
us are against monopolies hut until
Mr Cummings can place his finger
directly on the tariff and show the
country a section which works un
doubted ill without any compensations
there will be little tendency to take
him seriously
Just why at this time there should
arise in the gopher hills of Iowa a
desire to emancipate the rest of the
country from the duty on iron and
steel manufactures is not apparent
The schedules in question do not af
fect any Hawkeye industry If Gov
Cummins has given that attention to
the subject which he ought he will
know that prices of iron and steel
manufactures are not governed by the
tariff but by the enormous demand
so that not only are we selling every
pound that can be manufactured here
but we are importing largely from va
rious parts of the world It Avould not
be a dollar in the pockets of any man
in Iowa if the whole iron and steel
schedules were wiped out but it would
be ruin to many of the people there
who are interested in other industries
The farmers of Iowa do not eat steel
rails for breakfast nor feed pig iron
to their hogs They get rich feeding
the people of this country who are
just now able to buy enormously
sincethey have big wages or incomes
from one source or another
It is regrettable that Mr Cummins
should insist on a campaign which can
be of no service to the country and
can only give aid and comfort to the
Democracy We wonder if Mr Cum
mins remembers the situation in Iowa
in 1S93 to 97 Does he want to live
those weary years over again Of
course not The trouble is that he has
some of the Democratic absurd no
tions about political economy which
are learned only in books He sets
aside experience for the allurements
of sentimental philosophy Mr Cum
mins is mistaken - He is keeping his
name before the public but not in a
way that will do him or his party any
good We have no doubt that the
Dingley bill could be improved but
we do not think it can be along the
lines proposed by Mr Cummins If
once the effort is made to tinker with
that instrument we will have depres
sion in business and losses all alonsr
the line with mighty little compensa
tion anywhere We suggest that the
Iowa idea be embalmed and buried
Philadelphia Inquirer
Free Trade and Coal
The Great Falls Tribune asserts that
instead of hurting the coal mining
industry in this part of the stato the
repeal of the tariff on coal is likely to
cause an increase in the consumption
of Belt and Sand Coulee coal
The Record certainly hopes such
will be the case but nothing that tho
Tribune offers would lead to that con
clusion
The Tribune argues that tho action
of the Canadian mine owners will lead
to this increased consumption of home
coal This action consists in reducing
the price of Canadian coal 25 cents a
ton from what it has been selling at
in the American markets The Trib
une argues that this reduction will
make American consumers so wroth
at the selfishness of the Canadian
companies that they will buy more
coal than ever of the home companies
Let us hope so although we dont be
lieve a word of it
However that is no argument in fa
vor of free trade or as the Tribune
would put it tariff reform which
would put coal on the free list for all
time instead of for a year as a tem
porary expedient to relieve the dia
tress in the least caused by the short
age The reduction of the duty is 67
cents a ton and the Canadian compa
nies could make a reduction to that
extent if they so desired in order to
control the markets this side of tho
line They can mine coal cheaper
than we can because they employ Chi
nese and Japanese labor with Asiatic
wages while American mines pay

Fighting Cummins No -It
is neither fair nor logical on the
part of the Sioux City Journal to ac
cuse the Des Moines Capital and the
American Economist of fighting
Cummins To resist the program
of partial or complete free trade as a
means of dealing with the trust ques
tion is not fighting Cummins To
oppose the potential competition of
foreign products for the sake of reduc
ing domestic prices is not fighting
Cummins To deprecate reciprocity
in competitive products as an unjust
domestic policy and an unwise foreign
policy is not fighting Cummins To
urge that Republicans keep their
hands off the Dingley tariff for at least
two years to come and let the Demo
crats do all the agitating for tariff re
form is not fighting Cummins As
we understand the Capitals position
that very sound and able newspaper is
not fighting Cummins at all Neith
er is the American Economist fight
ing Cummins In both cases there
is no desire to lay a straw in the way
of the Governors ambition for re-election
If Iowa Republicans want him
as governor for another term that is
their business not ours What we are
fighting is not Cummins but the
idea which he stands for We be
lieve that that idea involves the ul
timate breaking down of the American
protective tariff system Hence we are
fighting the idea
Tariff on Coal
The coal duty is the very oldest of
the protective measures on the statute
books of this country The original
tariff act of 1789 imposed a duty upon
coal of every kind and quality and
there has never been a time until now
when bituminous coal entered the
country free of duty The need for
protection in the East and Middle
West has long gone by so there was
not a coal operator in any of the sec
tions now suffering from the coal
shortage who interposed the slightest
objection to the repeal of a duty which
was meaningless to him The tariff
did protect an industry in the state
of Washington Its removal is a
heavy blow to this state and the
worst of it the really irritating point
is that the action of Congress will be
absolutely without any benefit to the
coal consumers in whose interests it
was ostensibly taken Seattle Post
Intelligencer
Why Not
Senator Nelson introduced an
amendment providing for the change
of flour from the general class which
receives a 20 per cent concession from
the Cuban tariff to that class which
is to receive a 40 per cent concession
Well why not If the Northwestern
farmer is going to be prevented from
raising sugar beets because of the
preferential bounty voted to Cuban
planters he might at least be compen
sated to a trifling extent by a wider
opening through which flour may en
ter the Cuban market It wouldnt
make up for the loss of profits on beet
growing to be sure but it would be
something As the treaty stands the
American farmer gets precious little
out of it except a black eye All the
prize packages go to the Cuban farm

Hunts Copy with Decoys
Clay Emery author of Capn Titus
and in private life Clinton Mayo of
New York says that he hunts copy
and local color with decoys On the
shore of a little bay on the Massa
chusetts coast he has a boat house
equipped with comfortable chairs and
settees A very ancient mariner in
the neighboring fishing village knows
the place and has a pipe marked with
his name in the cupboard that hangs
on the boat house wall When Mr
Mayo is at home he hoists a big Hag
on the top of a sixty foot pole and then
the sailor folk flock down to the boat
house levy on the hosts tobacco find
their especial pipes and spin yarns by
the hour
A Chip Off the Old Block
Winston Churchills fearlessness in
his speeches has won him much
praise in England He is said to pos
sess the same audacity the same ir
reverence for his elders the same
mocking sarcasm as his father the
late Lord Randolph Churchill Al-
ready he has made any number of en-
emies among the older politicians who j
take themselves very seriously and to
whom it is not agreeable to be held j
up to public derision by one whom
they regard as a mere stripling But j
young Winston cares little for the ani
mosity he excites and seems determin
ed to follow the policy of his father
who was always a terror to his own
party
