Then in about an hour or so a nervous derangement of the iteart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently . -liave to lie down. "At other times I had severe head- -sches ; stomach finally became affected -and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia and constipa tion. A lady , for many years State il'resident of the W. C. T. U. , told me K she had been greatly benefited by quit ting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee ; she was troubled for years with . asthma. She said it was no cross to vjuit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an article as Postum. "Another lady , who had been trou- .bled with chronic dyspepsia for years , found immediate relief ou ceasing cof- iee aud beginning Postum twice a day. -She was wholly cured. Still another I'rieml told me that Postum Food Coffee % vas a Godsend to her , her heart trouble -iiaving been relieved after leaving off -coffee and taking on Postum. "So many such eases came to my nr- tice that I concluded coffee was the cause of my trouble aud I quit and took up Postum. I am more than pleased to say that my days of trouble have dis- .appeared.

Secretary Taft is rapidh disclosing his ignorance on the trust question , for to believe him ignorant is more charitable than to believe that he doe not intend to interfere with tie ! trusts , although his language would justify even this belief , lie takes Mr. P.r.\.m to task for favoring the extermination of trusts , and says that to exterminate trusts would be to exter minate industry. The Secretary desires to regulate and control the trusts , lint h : > s his party not been "re'/nlatinc" "controlling" for some cle.en year.- now ? And have we not more trusts now than we had viiien regulating and controll ing hetran ? The trust family is a family big enough to satisfy the President's ideas of the size of a family , and the birth rale i- greater than the death rare. The ad ministration has commenced suit against a few trusts , but not ac.iinst man.A. and thelruts are still irentle enough to come up and eat out of the hand of the admin- is ! rat ion. What has been dime in reirard to the steel tnM ? Did it not swallow up the Tennessee Coal and Iron Coin- pain 'i And was it not given out that the swallowing was done after the administra tion had been consulted ? Is the steel trust fiirhting Secretary TaftV And what about the International Harvester Com pany ? Have ih > farmers secured any re lief yel ? And what about the jnpYr trust ? The steel trust has something like a bill ion dollars of water in its stock : it can afford to contribute ten millions to the Republican campaign fund , becan.se it can : ret back many times that out of a Re publican victory , and this i- only one trust out of many. How can the people hope to regulate or control trusts when the i-is. by the election of their favorite to o'iie. are able to control the government ? 'Hie extermination of trusts is not the extermination of business. If , for Jn- an Democratic J agne candidate won at the poll.s and even there our candidates were defeated only by Republican help for the Donnelly Ryan organization can didates. The latter , however , are all pledged to liryan. but will follow the ( Juffey lead. The delegates to the State convention are almost all I r.\an men.

The resolu tion wapasseI ye-t/rday and I lie Speaker - er appointed an investigating committee. But if an.of . the standpatters imairine that they are fooling anyone their cap-i"- ity for self-deception is extraordinary. Who takes the resolution , seriou.-\ ! ?

State was idle. The trades union policy J ) is to not only -t. > rteu the working day.1 but to limit 'he number of working da\s pe - week in order to insure work enough 'or their members to prmide against' wan ; . For ilist.-.nce. the International , Typographical Union has a law prohibit ing a member working more than six coi - secutive days if there is any member of the union looking for work in the local jurisdiction. Many local unions adopted a five-day law early last winter in order to distribute the work among more men. Other unions do the same thing , and this served in large measure to tide many nu-n with families over the winter , lint if one out of every three union men in Xew York State is out of employment , what must be the proportion of jobless men in th' " unorganized trades and occupationsV The campaign slogan of "The full dinner pail" would elicit more jeers than cheers if ottered 10 the workingjnen of Xew York- to-day. The congressional majority will have to do more than adopt "gat : rules" if it ex pects to keep the country in ignorance of the majority's failure to enact beneficial legislation.

CHKR UP/ When "the shoe is on the other foot" stance , a single corporation has a monopoly ely of the production of a necessary of life , and has ten factories in different States for the production of this particu lar article , the extermination of this trust wou'ld mean the soiling off of enough fac tories to reduce the production of this one corporation to a point win-re it would no longer ba\e a monopoly. But this would not mean closing up of the fac tories. The people would still need the article , and the people at large would uet to be produced. But \\\f \ \ \ * independent fac tories coming into competition with the original corporation now no longer a monopoly would reduce the price of the article , an dthe people at large would get the benefit of the reduction. With a re duction in price , the people could bux more of the article produced , and this would increase the demand for labor , and new factories would sprinir up or existing factories would be enlarged. With a num ber of factories competing for laborers , the laborers' chance of employment would be belter , and his wages would be higher. Then. too. with a number of factories competing for raw material , the price of raw material would increase. In other words , the extci munition of the trust , in stead of destroying business , would re store business to a healthy condition , while it reduced the price of the product , increased the price of raw material and improved the condition of the laboring man. Competition lu the natural condi tion , and the extermination of the trust would restore competition. Monopoly is an unnatural condition , and the Kepnl'li- can party has fostered monopoly and ( .bus built industry upon a false basis to the detriment of : fll of the parties concerned except the monopolist , and he has been demoralized by his unearned wealth while the rest of the people have been victimized by the practice of monopoly. Secretary Taft ought to study the trust question a little more , or discuss it less. for each speech reveals his lack of fa miliarity with the subject or his lack of sympathy with the people at large. I'rom I'eiinsylvniiiri. The following telegram concerning the Pennsylvania Democratic primaries ex plains itself : Johnstown. Pa. , April l.Sth. 100S. The Commoner. Lincoln. Xcb. / Fifty-one of the sixty-four district del egates to national convention chosen by popular vote at the uniform primaries are for Brvan. The Br\an Democratic League candi dates in James M. ( JulTe.\'s district were SIKH e sful. Philadelphia neirly every Bry ploit" the resolution in their "dejstricis. " to point to it with affected pride as a statesmanlike substitute for revision. They will run the risk of hooting and jeVr- ing. Their little game is too transparent. Their only serious argument that they could not touch wood pulp and paper without reopening the whole fa rill qir lion was gone when it was shown ihit the admitted need of forest-saving fu.-- nished a complete and .convincing reas- for treating the wood pulp and paper du ties as belonging to a separate and * dis tinct category. The House minority is on record as acquiescing in such rea.si.-nt of these duties. The anxious stvulp-Mr-rs know that telling quotations fro a . > - ! dential messages and resolutions of manu facturers and clubs and other organiza tions were at their disposal to justify to all minds the singling our of the schedule in question for revision at this time. They are reckoning without the common sense and the humor of their constiMens. : ( The alnne is not a Commoner edito rial. It was not taken from any Demo cratic paper. It appeared as an e.lito"5al in that devoted old Republican : e\vspi- per. the Chicago Jtecord-IIerald issue of April ± - ' . AVIiy Xot Itovl.se ? The Minnesota Republican State con vention adopted the platform in which it declares : "We reaffirm the principal of protection of American labor and iudus- trie-- . but we believe the time has come when there should be a revision of the tariff schedules by a Republican Con- gres , . " If "the time has come when there should be a revision of the tariff schedules by a Republican Congress" why does the Republican Congress , now in session , fail to act ? Is it difficult for the ordinary man to understand that the people cannot expect a revision in the public interest from a political party that derives its campaign funds from larifl" beneficiaries ? < > ' Stumbling The Richmond ( Ya.J Times-Dispatch concludes an editorial relating to the "anti-Bryan movement' ' in these words : "If e\ ; ' there was a convention where the power of the uninstructed delegate will be great , not only in the choice of the candidate , but in writing the plat form. it will be at Denver. The appre ciation of this fact is the stumbling block in the way of those who want no delibera tion bthe representatives of the people in convention assembled. " But the appreciation of the fact that certain special interests are seeking un- would leave this country very soon and hoped he would never sec America again. { This prejudice against American soil I seems not. however , to extend to American - i can monev. The proposed plan to have a commis sion revise the tariff is not nearly so good as the plan of letting the people elect a Congrc.-s that will revise it in the interests - J ests of the people. t The rnited States Steel Corporation's ' 1U07 earnings were the greatest in its his tory. You would look a long while for a ' tariff revisionist among the managers of > that corporation. Several representatives of public interests - ; ests at Washington no doubt wish some . of the American newspaper reporters would go on strike like those German newspaper men. I A Republican exchange says that Sena tor La Follette would he more of a Re publican if he voted less often with the ' Democrats. True , but he wouldn't be right nearly so often. The Pennsylvania man who has just completed a patchwork quilt containing 11.7(50 ( pieces ought to be sent to Con gress aud assigned to the task of drafting a Republican financial bill. "Indiana Republicans have warmed up to Mr. Fairbanks. " declares a contempo- rary. Yes. And what is warming up to j Mr. Fairbanks would be a red hot cam paign for almost any other man. John Smith aud others went to Yirginia something like three hundred years ago expecting to find gold. The Duke of Abruzzi followed up a few days ago and seems to have located the mine. A Chicago gentleman who was very prominent in his "defense of the national ( , honor" about eight years airo is now look ing to the Supreme Court to save him from a penitentiary sentence. The Xe\v York Evening Post insists , ' that organized labor demands the legaJ- izing of the boycott. The Post is unable to see what organized labor demands is merely that a member of a union may le- j gaily 'do what he might legally do if not a member of the union. In other words. ' , organized labor demands that the posses- ( sioii of a union card shall not deprive a | man of his rights as an individual under the law and the constitution. CHICAGO. It. Ci. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade in the Chicago district says : "jJussiness activity , while recovering slowly , is seen to be upon a steadier basis. Liquidation remains but causes less ap- pr.rheii.sion as to results , and the commer- defaults , although yet seemingly nu merous , include none , of conspicuous in- fluence upon credits. Lower co. t of ac commodation is accom.a iied l > \ a he.uier mmeuieut of money anil preparations in- die-ate prompt settlements of the May in terest payments , a considerable portion of which will rest here. A very satisfac tory volume appears in the distribution of general merchandise. , and interior buy ers not only make frequent calls for re- assortments , but also place liberal ad- \ance orders for fall and winter lines. "Railroad traffic returns suffer from a limited marketing of crops and restricted shipments from the factories. Weakness * n pig iron discourages large buyers , and ore supplies carried over show an unusual surplus , which may be slow of reduction , unless additional furnaces resume. Fac tory work in the iron branches runs more steadily , especially in machinery , heavy hardware and farm implements , but the forges and foundries have little forward work and resumption of normal opera tions is not yet discerned. / "Ilestriction yet appears in wcod-J ork- ing branches , but not so severe as a month ago. there being more activity in furniture and boxmaking. while planing mills obtain increasing orders from the extension of building enterprises. "Mercantile collections throughout the near by Stales exhibit more promptness with the growing ease in money.

Improved weather conditions aud ex- . client crop reports throughout the great er part of the country , coupled with the favorable construction put upon recent financial developments , have made for the growth of a better feeling as regards the outlook , but the actual effect upon distributive trade and industry is as yet of the slightest. Some gain is reported in a few sections , notably the South and central West , in retail trade , but at the j South retail business since Easter is rather quitter , and Easter trade as a whole was not up to expectations. Some enlargements in filling-in orders by job bers is noted , and a few western points report slightly more buying for fall de livery , but hesitancy and conservatism rule operations to an extent not approached - i ed in recent years. Textiles are \ery much depressed , though veather and crop . reports are harbingers of hope for the future and short time is w H-nigh univer sal. Xorth and South.
