IT LOK LIKE FEEER TRADE.
At a nic'ing of the National As
sociation of Manufacturers in New
York on tbe27;h President MoKin
ley Siiki in hU speech:
'-Much pro liable trade is still on
'P joyed by our people because of
their 'present insufficient facilities
for reaehir.g desirable markets.
Much of it is lost because of a lack
cf information and ignorance of the
conditions aad needs of o her na
tions. We mast knew jast what
other people want tefore we can
supply their wants. We must un
derstand eacb other in order to
reach them with least expense if wt
would enter into the mos'. advan
( tageons businr pa relations with them
The ship req ires the shipper, but
the shipper must have aseured pro n
i8e that his goodd will have a sale
when they reach their destination.
It is a good rule if buyers will not
come to us, for us to go to them. It
is our duty to make American enter
prises and industrial ambition, ai
v I
well as achievement, terms of respect all broth- r members. This young
and praise, not only at home bntfnian was cared for during sickness
among the family of nations the.
world over.7'
This sounds to us like right good
frea trade argument. How can we
go to the natieas with better induce
ments than to effer them what they
need for what they have to dispose
of on the freest and beat terms pos
sible? The cry has been among Re
publican .protectionists, "America
for Americans." Oar narrow, ex
clusive policies do not seem like
going out to the world for trade.
The protective policy seems to
have its chief impetus backed by
the amount of the campaign funds
proceeding therefrom while labor is
subject to competitive laws of trade.
It's a singular fact that the ques
tion, ''Are we row a prosperous
people?" divides public opinion and
even occupies the time of our high J
ealrdelibarative bodies, the American
Congress. It does seem that if we
are prosperous we ought to know
eomething about it. Either position
can be stoutly maintained. Under
protective tariff, that fosters monop
olies and builds up vast fortunes at
the expense of Jche unprotected, and a
pension system by which a little
army of even undeserving people can
hang on to the government treasury
it is easy to see that the beneficiaries
xi these policies should feel very
prosperous v while the victims feel
Tery nnprojperous. These anti-
Democratio measures make pros
perity take color from the stand
point of him who views them.

In connection with Pythianism,
there is an insurance feature, though
to be a Pythian does not necessarily
imply the carrying of insurance,
Tn the order of Knights of Pythias
there are only thre) decrees to be
taken, which come in the order
nsmed: Page, Enquire and Knight.
During the lodge's life but to

During the year 1897 ten men
were initiated into this lodge, which
shows the highest number taken in

the organizations
This lodge never has public occa-
sions, like some of the organizations
of the place, though occasionally
they have occasions of festivity, to
be taken part in exclusively by Py
thians.
Ever since its organization in 1893
their night for meeting was Friday
night, but a month or two ago it
was changed, and they now meet on
1 1 -it ;
Tuesday night of each week in their

Shadow of Herself
Stomach Was Too Weak
to Retain Food
A Complete Cure Effected by
Hood's Sarsaparilla
Now Enjoying the Best of Health,
With Digestion Perfect.
! "My mother was Subject sick head
aches and indigestion for over a year.
She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in a dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered so much
that she became but the shadow of her
self. -One day I happened to read a tes
timonial about Hood's Sarsaparilla. It
Sounded So Truthful
I persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. , She took in all
four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hood's Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is 42 years old and says she feels ai well
as when she was 16. Hood's Sarsaparilla
made a complete ' cure in her case."
