Thk salt trust has advanced the price of Bait over 400 per cent KiN'd Edward his definitely fixed June 26 aa the date for his coronation. a uaity and proHperous New Year to all, it) the Courier-Herald's greeting to its three thousand readers. Tun cost of a given amount of food in the United States has increased 30 per ant in the last four years, according to "Deen's Index." A combine ia being formed by the Kothschild's among the tobacco growers of the Philippine Inlands, with a capital of between 6 000,000 and 7,000,000. BuniNQ 1809, 1890, and one-half of 1901, the Standard Oil Company de clared $1 13,000,000 of dividends on its apital of $100,000,000, ofjwhich $90,000, O)0 ia water: a profit of over 1100 per cent on the original capital. Tub thiug called "politics," says the Philadelphia Textile Record, represents, n fact, conten tion between different policies or linea of action upon the part if the government. One party demands iu curtain policy; the other party de mouncei that policy and clamors for an oppoMilu poluy. There uremen in this country , who want tariff protection, and there are wen who hate tariff protection . Nopower that can he exerted can for- Li i these two sals of persons from striv ing to have their wishes fulfilled by act of congress. The protectionists may all ir!0 to take the tariff out of politics, but if the free-traders resolve to keep it in j))Uiic8, it will assuredly stay in. Fur thermore, suppose all lutndi should con ent to take from politics the questions of tariff and currency and foreign policy and other matters uron which public opinion is divided, what would be left to discuss or to net upon? Politics would becoino nothing more than a wild, des perate scramble for oflico, and nobody .but (ho professional politicians who want the ollices would care to lake the trouble to go to tho polls and vote; but no good reason can be i xagined why, if the tariff ho taken out of politics, nil the other disputed questions should remain in. DEMOCRACY. "Tun domocratio p irty for years has been seeking to overcome tendencies in tfowrmuiMit which i, knew to bu breed ing iMiarehy.

It has lu.ovu Ihiit iu'sjwing the wind of clap i favors wo were bound sooner or l iter to reap tho whirlwind of class ha tred, A id it h is Hiughtiii an orderly way by invoking the spirit of civic vir tue to cheek the restless progress of class selllshness and cl.ns greed as ex emplified in shameless laws which brought want and sorrow into thousands of ho. nes and bitterness and revolt into tens of thousands of hearts. Sup pose wo should reorganize the demo cratic party, abandon fie lighten trusts and imp.T.ilisni ali along tin lines as the Memphis Herald wishes us, and sue ress should crown this party perfidy, what good would it do, what reform would bo accomplished ?

It is prob ably correct to say that the former, though confined to a minority of the population, nearly 20,000,000 is in direct antagonism to the latter, whose doctri nal tenets are the teachings of Karl Maix formulated in "Das Kapital." At the general assembly held at Es sen 31 years ago, it was announced that the associations formed under the in spiration and guidance of the Roman Catholic church numbered 100,000 master workmen, 80,000 journeyman,30,- 000 priestsand 15,000 small farmers. In 1874 the Catholic newspapers in Ger many numbered 253. The associations have since 1870 been constantly growing, but data are not at hand showing what magnitude this religio-socialistic move ment, under the direction of an inde fatigable, zealous priesthood, has reached. It is specifically a growth of the democratic spirit under the direction of Rome. Leo XIII takes a deep and abiding interest in the welfare of his flock of oyer 200,000,000, scattered the world over. Protestants may declare that this Catholic movement in Germany is dang, roua to the civil and religions lib erty of the Germany of the future. Of course, Catholics claim the contrary. But are they not wise in standing together? Moreover, to bring the ques tion home, are the Protestant churches of the United States making strenuous efforts, unitedly, to aid and advise the industrial millions and the oppressed? The field is ripe, but where are the cleri cal harvesters? This is not said in a captious spirit, but in order to direct attention to the great ta6k before our clergymen of all denominations and to the great need of it. The kingdom of heaven is in the human heart; the clergyman can plant it there by being a shepherd of the people in all its ingo ings and outgoings. But, perhaps re marks the hypercritical man of the world, it's dollars, cent, per cent., not the welfare of one's neighbor, that is the goal of my endeavor. FA VOIiS AN INDEPENDENT MOVEMENT. There are many abuses in our county and Btate governments which it is the desire of all good citizens to abolish. There is not space in the confines of this short article to enumerate them all nor is it necessary at this time; the reckless disregard of nl and of the public weal in the gitt of -vuu extra on me county printing over and above the necessary cost of the same is one instance. Now "there is one way, and only way, in which it is possible to purify the political atmosphere and bring about an efficient and economical administration of county affairs in one simile election, and tllllf in )V an a mr- lutfly independent movement of all who are upposeu to me present dictatorship under which this countv hBa fallen. I would suggest the advisability of call iug a conference some time in January of democrats, populists, republicans who are opposed to the Browuell ma chine and have the courage of their convictions, and all others who may care to meet with us in good faith and with the public good in view ; tuiscon ference to discuss and act upon the proper method of calling an independent convention. Let us discuss the idea of independent action, workiug out the details later. This would bind no one to any new party, and when its object was accomplialiecl.would le.tve all free to act with whatsoever party they might fancy, still retaining the consciousness of a good deed well t.ono. There are many arguments that can be brought forward to prove that this is the most feasible plan to pursue to bring about a better state of affairs in this county, hut this not the time or place for the same, as this letter is merely a sugges tion thrown out to invito discussion. Let the brethren ho heard from. U'iOItllK OlII.E. Molalhi, Or. Til 15 SOCIALIST 1'AliTV.

When our princi pies triumph men of all nations will shake hands aa brothers, mi, I tlu.n win jusiice reign supreme. ino great bail o from now ,m is h. tween private camtalis 111 llltll Ulti'tU llDI.L llirougii capitalism the wealth of the many accumulates into the hands of the Ijw. The capitalist himself produces nothing, though lie receives nearly all that is produced, allowing the real pro ducer merely enough for ins existence. Socialism advocates and demands the public ownership of all the means of production and distribution. Under socialism, the toiler would receive the full share of his labor. Believing iu the principles of social ism, it becomes our duty to vote for the men who believe in and who advocate our principles. Loth old parties are controlled by private I'.ipimtism, fieuce vaimu. expect to secure public owner ship frro.n them; so no true socialist should take an active part iu tlu.ir ranks. In order to secure socialism, we must Hit into power the parly representing it. S-ucli a party u the socialist party. Our party lias already a national and suto organization, If a party would at jam power and enact its principles into law, it ought to l.avo an organization iu every state, county and precinct. By organizing the socialist party iu this "I did not sleep a night for seven long weeks." That prolonged period of sleepless ness is most expressive of the pain and suffering caused by womanly diseases. It is pleasant to con trast the medical in efficiency which said "I could not be cured" with the prompt and perman ent cure effected by the use of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This great medicine for women establishes regularity, dries en feebling drains, heals inflammation and ul ceration and cures female weakness. "I take grot pltawre in recommending Xr. Pierce' ruediciuea to other suffering women," writes Mrs. Mary Adams, of Grassycreek, Ashe Co., N. C. "I had in ternal trouble very badly until it resulted in ulcers of the uterus. I was troubled with it so that I did not sleep a night for seven long weeks. The doctors said I could not be cured, but I com menced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and ' Pleasant Pellets.' After taking two bottles I could sleep all night, and after taking six bottles of ' Favorite Prescription 1 and two of 'Golden Medical Discovery ' and three vials of 1 Pleasant Pellets' my case was cured. I had told my husband that I would have to die, as it seemea I could not live. He told me to put faith in Dr. Pierce's medicines, for it had Cured others and would cur me. Bo it did. and I thank God and your medicine for saving my life." Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser, 1008 large pages, is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only. Send 31 one-cent stamps for the book in cloth binding, or only 21 stamps for the paper covered volume. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. county, we Bimply performed the duty we owe 10 we party that is to save this nation from the thralldom of mo nopoly. We organized so we can go to the polls and vote for the principles we advocate. The socialist party is making rapid progress. Capitalists are becoming alarmed at the progress socialism is making. They are trying to retard its growth by suppressing socialist papers. Any cause that monopoly tries to sup- Eress is deserving of careful attention y those whose interests are not identi cal with those of monopoly. Socialism is near at hand. It is in the line of progress. The capitalists, by suppressing all the socialist capers in the land, could not prevent the great wave of socialism that will sweep over this nation within the next few years to come. Right will triumph, though un righteousness may for a time prevent it. All the great reforms the world ever se cured, were at first opposed by those who had not the interests of the people at heart So is socialism op posed by those who care not for the in terests of the great struggling masses. We invite all those regardless of party who are interested in the uplifting of humanity, to study tho principles of so cialism. Socialism requires a great deal of thought and study to understand it thoroughly. It is always a good plan to study the principles that the repre sentatives of the "trusts" forbid yon, and to read the papers that the capital ists try to suppress. Socialist speakers will speak in the different parts of the county, and I hope all will try and attend their meetings when they come. Be not afraid of new ideas. Keep in Btep with progress. Welcome every new idea by giving it careful thought and ptudy. Socialists do not ask you to think as they do ; they only ask you to study their principles. We believe our plan to be better than the one we now have. We only ask you to investigate. Investigate, for investi gation leads to enlightenment. The socialist party is a party of prin ciple. Their KOal is a co-operative com monwealth. The socialist party is hu manity party, it wilt remain in the political field until manhood's cause is won j until the last phase of private capitalism has ebbed away. FbedJ.
