all its earlier stages, it can be cured.
It's a scrofulous affection of the

every other form of scrofula, Dr.
l'ierces Golden Medical Discovery
is a certain remedy. Hut it must
be taken in time and wow is the
time to take it.
It purifies the blood that's the
secret. Nothing else acts like it.
Its the most potent strength-re

For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood,

If it doesn't, the money is re

No other medicine of its kind is.

I HE white people of the south

" insisi mat minority rule is
proper where the majority is col
ored, excuse themselves on the
ground that they pay the taxes.
They talk about their consideration
for the negro in trying to educate
hi in. George W. Cable takes all the
charity out of this talk by showing
that 111 many parts of the south the
negroes are taxed to educate white
children. In Georgia, Mr. Cable
claims, the public school money for
the year lSN'.MS'.M was.fS2i,0W). Only
.ft) percent of this, or $248,"X0, was
allowed to the negro schools, al
though 47 per cent of the popula
tion is negro. The school fund of
the state is from a poll lax, the
rental of the state railroad, the tax
011 luiiior dealers, and the hire df
convicts. The poll tax of the ne
groes amounted th-at year to
$101,920. Add 2.1 per cent of the
other fuds raised on state property
and it makes the full amount of the
negro school fund. The whites,
therefore, had 7.1 per cent of the
fund from these sources, which be
long to the state at large, when
there is no reason why they should
have more than 53 per cent, which
is the white oercentaire of the
school population. It may be
humiliating for the white gentle
men of Georgia to have it known
that they are not sunDortiner the
negro schools, and they will have
another round of abuse for Mr.
Cable, but it will be necessar- for
thein to refute his statement with
figures as convincing as his.

TRUSTS.
Trusts are not due. to protection.
This is shown by the fact that the
great Mecca of combinations of all
kinds is free trade Great Britain.
They are the product of a human
weaiwiess common to ail men, in
every country aim under every
political system cupidity.
Combination is the recognized
commercial tendency of the day.
It is natural for men to combine
where they see an opportunity for
their own profit; and they will do
this whether there be a tariff or not,
as all impartial judges, even free
traders, will admit.
Protection is 110 friend of trusts
in fact, it is essentially opposed to
them. It prevents the formation of
international combinations, for
which there could be no destructive
remedy, and guarantees men who
wish to compete with a trust a fair
field and chance for coiiioetitioii.
By protection, also, trusts are
placed within the reach of our own
laws; placed where they can be at
tacked and destroyed by the strong
arm of the government.
lree trade, on the other hand,
either leads to the establishment of
international combinations, or, by
destroying an industry in this
country and causing us to become
dependent for the product of that
industry on a few foreigners, puts
us at the mercy of a foreign trust
from which there can be 110 escape,
and which, of course, no legislation
of ours can reach.
This is entirely in harmony with
the ordinary free trade program to
subject us in everything to the
domination of the foreigner.
The only effective remedy for
combinations is a radical anti-trust
law, such as that already passed by
a protectionist congress.
The question of trusts can be
formulated in a few words: Free
trade and foreign trusts, absolute
our-masters. Protection, every dif
ficulty in the way of forming
trusts, new competition to nullify
their influence, and prohibitory
legislation to destroy them when
formed.
An independent writes to the
Elmwood Leader a column article
in which he scores the citizens' pe
tition and the so-called citizens'
convention and citizens' candidate
(W. J. Bryan) for congress and asks
his independent friends how they
like to play the roll of tail to a dem
ocratic kite, and their goes on as
follows: "I know you did not
think when you signed that
petition that you were marshal
ing yottr forces tinder the leader
ship of such men as Broady, Cal
houn, Wallace, Ireland and others
of like ilk. Your independent friend
who induced you to sign that peti
tion, did not think to tell you that
W. If. Dearing and other good dem
ocrats, were passiugaround another
one of the same make up, with only
one exception, viz. none but demo
crats need apply. Then, after both
petitions were as liberally signed
as they could be under existing
circumstances, all being done iu an
underhand way, a little mucilage
d.ne the rest of the work, the pastor
being sure that the deinociatic
end of the concern was put
where it would do the most good
Now, my independent friends, did it
ever occur to 3-011 that it was a little
strange? We, as independents,
never received any bid to go to the
democratic county convention held
at Union, where this deal was all
cooked up and served out to the
independents at so much a dish
We will give our reasons why: In
our opinion the democrats felt able
for the task; they had a congres
sional committee to make, and they
wanted to give you such rood in
dependents to lead and care for it
as Judge Broad', chairman; (he is
a good independent); he withdrew
last fall in favor of Joe Edgerton.
Little Tommy Allen, secretary, an
other good independent. W. H.
Bearing coiumittteeman from Cass
county; he's all right, too, and the
thirteen delegates elected out of
that democratic mob go down to
Nebraska City and re-nominate a
citizen' congressman, but mark
you, never failing to sinch up and
perfect genuine old moss-back
democratic organization, and poor
old Charlie Sherman, in trying to
second the nomination of the young
citizens' .candidate, slopped over
and choked down words failing to
give vent to his pent up feelings.
Now, we account for that mishap
in this way: If he took Bryan
straight free silver, frte twine and
free cotton ties, (is thers anything
else? we guess not), and then had
to load up with the stuffed prophet,
which iie had to do, it would make
a devil of a bad mix of medicine,
and one that would be liable to get
him into trouble. But it is all right
now the Journal is for Cleveland
and it's for Bryan. "Oh, consisten
cy thou art a jewel."
