The mass of humanity are a
hopaful proposition and it is
proper that such should be the
case. The year 1905 has passed
into history and we are now look
ing into the face of 1906 and
guessing what Time has in store
for the next twelve months.
Many declare the world to be
getting better as the years roll
by and civilization is presumed
to be reaching higher standards.
The year just closed saw rati
fied the peace negotiations at the
close of a bloody war between
Russia a-nd Japan. This may be
looked upon as either for or
against civilization and a better
ment of conditions. In thus
reckoning this matter we must
be governed by the view point.
Is Russia getting better? There
is still riot and bloodshed through
out the great empire. At pres
ent there is no evidence that
conditions are better than they
were in Russia last year and one
can only hope that after a reign
of butchery the shackles may be
broken and liberty and enlight
ment prevail to such a degree
that the evil days leading to the
brighter ones may be forgotten.
In the way of sciences we are
certainly making rapid progress,
also in che field occupied by our
inventive geniuses. Only a day
or two ago a party was commis
sioned to build an air-ship for an
exploration of the north pole and
the territory surrounding it. ' It
may be cited in this connection
that we are not much closer the
pole now than we were 100 years
ago, but it is not improbable that
we, many of us, will live to
note the arrival of some ad
venturer at the pole and may be
wrap the stars and stripes about
it and perch an eagle on the top
In the United States during
1905 there was less lynching
that in former years 66 men
lynched. Surely here is evi
aence tnat we are gaming in
goodness in this country, but we
are not entitled to boast until we
can point to a clean record in
this, regard. Can we make the
year '06 better than its prede
cessor? We can if we vrill so let
us do it.
PA? HEED.
Lafayette Young has just re
turned from a trip around the
world, having been a member of
the excursion party to the Philip
pines; but instead of returning
eastward he kept on to the west
ward and landed in New York.
Of the absence of our flag every
where our traveler went he
could not help remarking:
U id it ekainii and a humiliation to
know that this j;reac republic ia not rep-re-fnled
ou the sea. The traveler
around the world practically travels un
der nn alien flag from start 'o finish.

I". Electing seriously on these
and other facts, and in view of
the talked of, perhaps impend
ing. German treaty, Mr. Young
clearly perceives the only danger
menacing our country. He cau
tions our government, which
seems to have no true conception
of the use of shipping, as follows:
Btfore the American people cut down
oar turi:T rates a-! invite Germany and
Great Britain to fig.t with U3 for our twn
trade which we no. ' .v h-y ought to
hv-'ud an American i h.int marine
and officer it with a;:gre.ive Americans,
who will talk for the Laited States in
every clime and under every sky. Until
we are thus prepared to go into the com
mercial battle with Germany and Great
Britain on the sea we had better ke"n
what we h ve (ou the Laid) a.d which
under present circumstances they can
not rob as of. . . . How nnwise it
would be to uce our tariff duties and
invite a commercial war (in our own
country) bafore building ships and pre
paring for the t-or.flict.
Alexander Hamilton said : ' 'To
preserve the balance of trade in
favor of a nation ought to be a
leading aim of its policy." One
way of doing this is by a ship
ping policy, the vessels of a na
tion doing all the carrying be
longing to it. 'Another way is
by an industrial policy that will
secure to 'a nation its home
market, the full employment of
its people, diversification of
trades and the raising, produc
tion and fabrication of all its
necessities. The proper reenr
1 J J? 5
iauon oi its commerce will en
able any nation thus to stand on
its own bottom and become rich.
T" ? i t . i.i
.DismarcK understood tne sci
ence of modern government,
The founders of our own govern
ment knew their own business
also, but we have fallen on evil
times, the years passing with
public men in doubt of the true
principles of statesmanship. We
have but a single s ring to our
bow. Snap that and before we
can recover the loss dread dis
aster may befall our nation.
Bismarck took care ' to increase
and develop the German marine
ii i - . . .
as wen as to protect trie in
dustries of his country by a tariff
on importations. Both ways of
maintaining a balance of trade
is in use in Germany. Name over
the great men we have had in
the last forty years and see if
one can be mentioned who has
paid any attention to the maxim
of Hamilton to maintain a bal
ance of our trade. Our shipping
has gone to the dogs. We have
had no Madison, much less
Bismarck. Now, impair but
slightly the protection of the
tariff and down goes our house
of cards. Copy Britain, we are
told; liberalize the tariff and be a
nation among nations. But these
shallowpates never say, 'copy
Britain," increase the marine,

carry ou per cent oi our own
commerce, be independent on
the ocean as on land. Oh, no;
that would be too English, you
know. The British can do our
transportation cheaper than we
can ourselves! Ex.

IT DRAWS HARD
On a woman's vitality to do work for
which she is unfitted, and we wonder how
some of the women
of our land live
through a single
season of pleasure
or dissipation.
They will say
with tears in their
eyes, when they
mention the sub-
iect at all, "it is a
nara
VulL" that
with pain, weak
ness and weariness
they are "almost
dragged out."
Many, in this con
alcoholic stimulants
dition,
and
invisrorants " the after effects of
which are very injurious.
Dr. R. V. Pierce, forty years, ago found
that women were being mistreated
through ignorance or carelessness and
determined to devote his life and energies
to their relief.
Having found the cause of their suf
fering, he next smight for the means of
relief, and found in Xature,s laboratory
the earth, certain roots which had re
markable and valuable medicinal virtues
fof the cure of these ailments.
Using chemically pure glycerine, of
proper strength instead of alcohol,- he
prepared extracts of these, and the result
was so satisfactory that the combina
tion became his "Favorite Prescription."
The roots used are: Lady's Slipper root,
Black Cohosh root. Unicorn root. Blue
Cohosh root and Golden Seal root. The
world knows it as Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription, which has the won
derful and unparalleled record of a half
million of cures in the last forty years.
Write to Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., for
advice, given without charge.
"I am grlad to be able to testify as to the
merits of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
for the many ills that women suffer with,"
writes Miss Gertrude Mitchell (President
Young Ladies' Christian Endeavor Society),
43 Columbia Street. E.. Detroit. Mich. "After
many years of suffering and pain. I took
your medicine, and in a short time began to
feel stronger, became more regular and
didn't have the bearing-down pains which
had been my lot for so long. Shall never
cease to be very grateful that It was brought
to my notice. I have no pains, and feel much
stronger generally."
Dr. Pierce's Pellets cleanse the clogged
system from accumulated impurities.
