EDGAR HOWARD is for the Dutch , and
he doesn't give a tinker's sample of pro
fanity who knows it.
CHAIRMAN JONES of the Democratic
National committee now talks of regu
lating trusts rather than smashing them.
IT'S hard and disappointing , to be
sure , but unless the wise men can come
to an agreement , the great common people
ple will have to worry through another
year before they can speak or write oi
being in the 2Oth century.
AN evidence of the increased trade
which expansion is likely to bring to the
United States is found in the fact that
the exports of this country to Cuba ,
Porto Rico , Hawaii , and the Philippines
for the first eleven months of 1899 were
$38,000,000 against $16,000,000 in the
corresponding months of 1898 , and $15-
000,000 in the corresponding mouths ol
1897 , while the fact that we will be able
to buy more and more of our tropical
products in those islands instead of send
ing the money , to other parts of the world
is shown by the fact that our imports
from them were , in the first eleven
mouths of 1899 , $58,000,000 againsf $39-
000,000 in the corresponding months of
1898 and $37,000,000 in the corresponding
mouths of 1897.
JAPAN'S new protective tariff is reduc
ing her imports materially as compared
with those of last year , while her. ex
ports , however , have gone on increasing.
The growth of the protective-tariff idea
during the last twenty years has been re
markable. Nearly all European nations ,
except Great Britain , now have protect
ive tariffs as do Canada , Mexico , and
many of the countries of South America ,
while now the protective idea is making
itself clearly felt in the Orient. Japan
has made her new tariff protective in
character , and the Australian colonies
which are about to federate have clearly
shown a disposition to adopt a protective
system similar to that of Canada when
they come to complete the details of
their union during the present year.
1900 is the Year.
I feel very grateful for the patronage
tendered me during 1899. I desire to
double my business in 1900 and if you
will help me I can do it , and in return I
.will guarantee you fair treatment and
right prices. If you have not dealt with
me in 1899 , give me at least a share of
your trade in 1900 and I will try to make
it to your advantage.
Wishing a happy and prosperous New
Year to all I remain ,
D. W. LOAR , the druggist.

The large and increasing circulation of
The Iowa Homestead in this county is
a matter for congratulation to the pub
lishers and to good farming , for , of all
the papers of its class in the country , it
is easily the best and most helpful. Its
Special Farmers' Institute editions , is
sued with the regular edition the first
week in each month , have been for years
the admiration of all practical farmers.
Written wholly by farmers , they are full
of actual experience and smell of the
soil. We have been fortnnate enough
this season to secure terms for The
Homestead and its Special Farmers' In
stitute editions , together with The Poul
try Farmer and The-Farmers' Mutual
Insurance Journal , four of the most val
uable farm publications in the country ,
that enable us to offer the four in con
nection with our own paper for $1.25 for
the entire five , one year. This is em
phatically a good thing , and no farmer
in this county should fail to take advant
age of the offer. For a large line oft
thoroughly practical farm reading noth
ing has ever been offered before that
equals it. A county paper , a farm paper ,
a poultry paper , a farm insurance paper
and the Special Farmers' Institute , all
for $ i 25. Come in and order them.
