Watauga Democrat Robert C Rivers,. . Ewtob ASD PaOPBIETOn TBunsDAT, June 29, 1899. The organization of gigan - tic trusts and com binesfor the purpose ofeontroling the man ufactnre and en lb of the nec essaries of life, still goes on, and we Bee many articles now more than doubled in price, nod when all this is going to end no one . can tell. . These mighty and powerful corpo rations are openly and boast ingly defying the laws. TruHts have been formed in the Uni ted States since Mr. McKin- ley's inauguration with an aggregatecapital in amount exceding nil the metallic mon ey in the world, and the peo ple will be compelled to pay dividends on all 'this vast capital. Such a conditional affairs could not exist but for the protection afforded by the unjust tariff laws, which shuts out competition from the outside world, and until the laws are changed the common people will con tinue to be ground between the upper and the nether mill stone of the insatiate nver iceof these fast accumulat- jug cuiuuiuaiiuuB! If figures are not at fault, the war with tha Philippines has already cost the people of the Unnited States more than twelve milions of dol lars, and in addition, the health of at least twenty thousand soldiers has been destroyed, to whom pensions must be paid in the future. Add to this the lives of our noble soldier boys sacri ficed on the field of battle in 8 foreign land, and the lives lost by the brave Filipinos, who fought only for borne and country, and we have an idea of the magnitude of the evil brought about by this, the most unholy and nncall ed lor war that, possibly, has been in any country forcentu riespast. Great indeed are the powers that be in Washing ton. Is our war with the Philip pines a thing of which to be proud? All the world loves and honors a soldier who in fighting for what he thinks is right. There are none who deserve so much honor as those who leaye home and friends and risk their lives in defense of their country. Their names should be "sung in song and story, and wrea thed around with glory" as long as time lasts, but if re ports be true, the present war is the laughing stock of the military men of all na . tions. All honor to the no ble boys who bear the arms under a torrid sun, but the war is a burning shame to the administration. A few days since at Wil son's Mills, a man and h i s wife were tried before a Uu -ted States Commissioner at Smithfield for blockading. The woman pled guilty, bat : protested to the last that her husband was innocent. He al so pled innocence but the ev idence was dead against him, so they were bound to court in a bond of $200. It must De"love faithful love, such as as angels feel abore" to - make a woman take all the blame on herself under such circumstar.ces. Tta Had m Hw Kwp wgi An effort is being made to raise from ex-Confederates a sum sufficient to re-huild the pallatial residence of General Gordon, which war destroy ed by fire recently, Mr. Floyd King, of Li., has called the attention of the Confederate Veteran's Association to the following telegram: "Let us raise by popular subscrip tion the money necessary to re-build General Gordon's home." This is indeed a very praise-worthy undertaking. and every old Confed. in the land ought to chip in h i s trite, be it ever so'sinall, to put the brave General again in his comfortable home, so that his last days may be spent in ease. While the peo ple of the North are strain ing every nerve to donate a handsome home to Dewey, the hero of Manila, let us of the South do th right thing in this undertaking Dewey is on a f 15,000 salary, and is not in need of anything while the gallant Gordon is aged and homeless. An order of the War De partment given out last -Au gust ab to furloughs and transportation of sick and wounded soldiers to their homes, has been revoked. The order was issued to meet exigencies in the transporta tion of volunteers who were without proper papers and detatched from the com mand. ' The yellow fever has begun its work in Cuba. The latest reports say that many of the soldiers and civilians are prostrated with it, and a number have died. There are eighteen cases in the hospi tals. The War Department has been called upon by General Otis for four expert stenogra phers, for services in the Phil ippine Islands. They must be able to speak the Spanish and English languages cor rectly, and must be able to write 150 words per minute. Ask your physician this ques tion, "What is the one great remedy for consumption?" He will answer, "Cod-liver oil." Nine out of ten will answer the same way. Yet when persons have consumption they loathe all fatty foods, yet rat b neces sary for their recovery and they cannot take plain cod liver oil. The plain oil dis turbs the stomach and takes away the appetite. The dis agreeable fishy odor and taste make ft almost unen durable. What b to be done? This Question was ans wered when we first made ccorro EMULSION of Cod-Uvtr OA with Hypo phosphites. AKhoach that was nearly twenty-five years jo yet It stands clone to day the one great remedy for all affections of the throat and lungs. The bad taste and odor dm been taken away, the ol itself faai been party digested, and the most sen sithre stomach obfecb to K rarely. Not one in fen can take and dl jest the plain oO. Nine oat of ten cm take SCOTTS EMULSION and cfi. gest tt. Thaf i why it cures to many cases of carry consuwyoon. Even in advanced cases It brines comfort and greatly prolongs fife.
