Gentlemen: —1 was afflicted with Kidney and
Bladder trouble for six years and had tried numerous
preparations without getting any relief and had given
up hope of ever being cured when FOLEY’S KIDNEY

pottle I could feel the effect of it, and after taking
six fifty-cent bottles, I was cured of Kidney and
Bladder trouble and have not felt so well for the past
twenty years and I owe it to FOLEY’S KIDNEY

Strikes in the Meyersdale Region
Have Been a Source of Much
Crime.
From the Rockwood Gazette.
The Salisbury STAR, in discussing the
strike situation, says:
“Up to date a block of ten houses
have been burned for the Merchants
Coal Company ; several buildings have
been destroyed and the tipple fired at
the Galloway & Clayton mine; the
Meager tipple has been twice dynamit-
ed and once set afire; a house and two
baystacks were burned for Mr. Meager,
and the bottoms opened on several
londed railroad cars at his mine; his
son-in-law and one of his horses have
been shot ; thirteen mine cars were run
down ‘the Big Vein Coal Company’s
plane, doing damage to the amount of
$1000, and guards have been shot at.”
It is now quite evident that the
strike was ill-advised in the beginning,
and it is certain that many of the
strikers have been indiscreet, if not ab-
solutely criminal, in conducting their
campaign against the companies. Or-
ganization is unquestionably very es-
sential for the protection of labor, but
unless it is conducted with reason and
good judgment, it is very apt to be
productive of evil results all around,
as the Meyersdale strike seems to have
been. Too often dissipated men with-
out conscience and glib of tongue be-
come leaders in all branches of union-
ism, and through their ravings and
red-headed oratory strikes are voted
where not the slightest sense exists for
them; and then the sober, steady, hard-
working, good men who have families
to support are the sufferers, while the
agitators and walking delegates draw
good salaries from the contributions of
sympathizers and go about inciting
trouble and misrepresenting their
cause and the outlook for success, until
terrible crime follows and the whole
scheme fails.
It seems to us that a strike could not
have occurred at a more inopportune
time than this, just when the demand
for coal had almost ceased and the
prices in the wholesale market were
actually less than operators paid for
mining the coalin very many instances.
It is useless to demand of an employer
at any time more wage than his busi-
ness will warrant, and a strike that
grows out of the refusal to accede to
such a demand can be fruitful only of
baneful consequences.
JUDGE PARKER ON TRUSTS.
Judge Parker in his speech of accep-
tance was singularly and significantly
indefinite in his discussion of the trust
question. He said: “The growth of
monopoly, of which complaint is justly
made, cannot be laid at the doors of
the courts of the country. The decis-
jos of the Supreme Court of the
United States, the Court of Appeals of
Lhis state, and the courts of last resort
in many states, warrant the assertion
that the common law as developed af-
fords a complete legal remedy against
monopolies.”
Standing alone it is dificult to inter-
pret the meaning of this utterance of
the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent. Read in connection with the
Democratic State platform of New
York, adopted at Albany last April and
dictated by Judge Parker’s friends if
not by the Tudge himself, it means that
he is opposed to Federal control of
trusts and monopolies. The trust
plank in that Albany platform reads as
follows: “Corporations chartered by
the state must be subject to just regu-
lation by the state in the interest of
the people.”
Judge Parker regards “the common
law as a complete legal remedy against
monopolies,” and his New York plat-
form favors leaving the control of the
trusts and monopolies to the states
which grant charters to them. .
This was the argument made by the
attorneys for the Northern Securities
Company when that case came before
the Supreme Court of the United
States. Those able constitutional law-
yers agreed that as the Northern Se-
curities Company was a state corpora-
tion, chartered by the state of New
Jersey, the enforcement of the Sher-
man Anti-Trust law against that cor-
poration was an unauthorized interfer-
erence by the National Government
with the internal commerce of (hat
state.
The Supreme Court, in its opinion
handed down by Justice Harlan, re-
marked: This suggestion does not at
all impress us.” The court then held
that the Sherman Law did prohibit
such an interference with interstate
commerce, and that “by the express
words of the constitution Congress has
power to regulate commerce with for-
eign nations and among the several
states and with the Indian tribes. In
view of the unanimous decisions of
this court, there ought not, at this day,
to be any doubt as to the general scope
of such power.”
The Supreme Court also said in that
opinion: “Asin the judgment of Con-
‘gress the public convenience and the
general welfare will be best subserved
when the natural laws are left undis-
turbed by those engaged in interstate
commerce, and as Congress has em-
bodied that rale in the statute, that
must be, for all, the end of the matter,
if this is to remain a government of
laws, and not of men.”
The Supreme Court did not decide
the Northern Securities case on the
common law, nor did it regard a cor-
poration chartered by a state as only
to be regulated by the state. It swept
aside all such technicalities as those
suggested by Judge Parker and his
state platform, and decided against
that great trust because it violated a
law of Congress which was in conform-
ity with the power granted to Congress
by the constitution.
The Democratic party opposed the
passage of the Sherman Law, and it
has opposed all other anti-trust legis-
lation for the last 15 years. From
Judge Parker’s speech of acceptance it
would appear that he is in harmony
with his party on this question and
would deny the power of Congress to
pass such laws. He would leave such
trusts to be regulated by the states
which granted charters to them, and
he would have left the Northern Secur-

War on Weeds!
- THISTLE-INE is sure death to Canada Thistles
and all other noxious vegetation.
It can no longer be considered an experiment. That it is able
to and does destroy weeds and thistles of all kinds, is shown by the
hundreds of letters we have received from farmers, park, cemetery
and highway commissioners, railroad officials, and others who have
given ita thorough test. It 1s easier and cheaper to spray the grass
and weeds in walks, driveways and street gutters, with THISTLE-INE
than to cut or dig them out.
Ifyou have a lawn or back yard in which you take pride, you
will find THISTLE-INE a constant friend in destroying Bande on,
Burdock, Wild Lettuce, or other unsightly weeds.
You run no risk of failure in ordering, for when used according
to directions, we guarantee the results to be entirely satisfactory.

A BARGAIN FOR FARMERS.
The New-York Tribune Farmer, na-

of twenty large pages, has no superior
as a thoroughly practical and helpful
publication for the farmer and every
member of his family, and the publish-

class in the United States.
Knowing that every enterprising, up-
to-date farmer always reads his own

enables us to offer the two papers at so
low a price that no farmer jcan afford
to lose the opportunity.
