GRABBING I HE GOLD.
The treasury department is making
making strenuous efforts to get into its
possession the gold of the country,
much of which is now in the hands of
the pubFic. .Some months ago the
government began a strict enforce
ment of the regulation regarding the j
acceptance of gold coins at their de- 1
predated value due to abrasion. Con- '
siderable publicity was given to the ;
fact that individuals holding worn j
gold coins would lose the amount rep
resented by the metal worn from the
coin. The tendency of this was to'
cause the public to ask for paper
money rather than gold. In some In- '
stances the discrimination against
gold was so pronounced that even post
office clerks accepted gold coins with
hesitation and reluctance. The best
money in the world was thus discred
ited.
Now comes the announcement that
the department advises that the gov
ernment stand the loss due to abra
sion, provided coins are deposited with
the government during a speefied pe
riod of ninety days. The obvious ef
fect of this would be that all those j
persons holding coins which bear any
signs of wear would immediately turn
them into the treasury in order to ,
avoid subsequent loss, and the govern- j
ment would have all the gold, and the
Public the paper money only.
What the purpose of the department
is in thus endeavoring to drive gold
out of the channels of trade and into j
the vaults of the treasury is difficult
to imagine. Because the purpose Is
obscure, there Is all the more reason
why the business men of the country
should study most carefully the finan
cial policies adopted by this adminis
tration, and the probable effect upon
future financial condtions if its of- !
forts In the retirement of gold from
general circulation shall be successful.
A PLETHORA OF LAWS.
The Alaska legislature has started
out like many other legislatures—with

the Idea that the duties of that hon
orable body are to make ns many and
ns onerous laws as possible, thereby
earning the approbation of their con
stituents.
The number of lulls that have glided
into the legislative hopper to date is
an augury that the territory will be
surfeited with legislation long before
the tme for this law-making body to
adjourn. Every solon apparently has
a sheaf of bills to introduce, which he
believes the country is suffering for.
and he will labor consistently and
earnestly to spread them across the
eternal statutes, that his name may
go down to posterity in the archives
at Juneau. j
It is a great misfortune that chlo- I
roform is not freely used In the pluc- ;
ing of the white man's burden of new ’
bills. AVe have too many laws. Far i
too many laws for the good of the
country. The unconquerable ambition
that seems to spring eternal in the
legislative breast to "regulate” some- 1
thing or somebody is mainly responsi- I
ble for this plethora of legislation.
The plaint that we have too many I
laws has been the text of countless
' speeches and written articles, but the
Justinians and the solons have heed
ed it not; nor can be expect them to
do so while the privilege of making
laws tuns parallel to the right of free
speech. It is human weakness Which
legal Archinicds finds the secret in 1
an inspiration.
And then, perhaps, the world will I
join in a paen of thanksgiving at be- I
ing relieved of a plethora of laws; j
nine-tenths of which are useless and j
ouly cumber the statute books for the
purpose of giving some addfle-pated
legislator a little cheap notoriety.

THE TARIFF IN EPAULETS.
In ad address before the Lawyers'
Club, New York, the other day, Rear
Admiral Chadwick, retired, gave his
audience to understand that wars
would be waged so long as protective |
tariffs existed, hence commerce should
be permitted to move untrammeled- by j
trade restrictions.
Admiral Chadwick, like free-trade 1
advocates in general, tackles the prob- (
lom at the wrong end. Instead of 1
trumpeting against the custom houses '
and arguing for a policy which would J ’
put the products of the three-dollar- ! 1
a-day American workman in competi- \ 1
tlon with the output of the dollar-a
dny European, or the twenty-five- 1
cents-a-day Oiiental and induce our 1
foreign competitors to give labor large r
altruism and induce our foreign com- j
petilors to give labor a larger share in
the products of its toil, in the shape j
>f higher wages, which would create’1
i higher standard of living? >
If our foreign competitors will per- (
i take Iron, Says Doctor, if You
' Want Plenty of “Stay there"
Strength tike an Jfthfete!
I Ordinary Nuxated Iron Will Make De
licate, Nervous, Rundown Poeple 200
Per Cent Stronger in Two Week’s
Time in Many Cases.
NEW 1'UHK, N. V.,—Must people
foolishly seem to think they are going
to get renewed health and strength
I front some stimulating medicine, se
! cret nostrum or narcotic drug, said
1 Ur. Sauer, specialist who has studied
widely both in this country and Eu
I rope, when, as a matter of fact, real
and true strength can only come from
I the food you cat. But people often
'fail to get the strength out of their
: food because they haven’t enough iron
'111 their blood to enable it to change
| food into living matter. Prom their
, weakened, nervous condition they
| know something is wrong, but they
leon't tell what, so they generally com
, menee doctoring for stomach liver or
i kidney trouble or symptoms of some
I other ailment caused by the lack of
iron in the blood. This thing may go
on for years, while the patient suffers
! untold agony, if you are not strong
or well, you owe it to yourself to make
the following test. See how long you
can work or how far you can walk
without becoming tired. Next take two,
live grain tablets of ordinary nuxated j
iron three times per day after meals j
for two week3. Then test your j
strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. 1 have!
seen dozens of nervous rundow n peo-1
pie who were ailing all the while,
double and even triple their strength;
and endurance and entirely get rid of I
all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and)
other troubles in from ten to fourteen
i days’ time simply by taking iron in
the proper forms, and this after they
had in some cases been doctoring for
months without obtaining any benefit.
But don’t take the old forms of re
duced iron, iron acetate or tincture of
iron simpy to save a few cents. You
must take iron In a form that can be
easily absorbed and assimilated ,ikc
nuxated iron if you want it to do you
any good, otherwise it may prove worse
than useless. Many an athlete or prize
fighter has won the day simply be
cause he knew the secret of great
strength and endurance and filled his
blood with iron before he went into
the affray, while many another has
gone down to inglorious defeat simply
for the lack of Iron.
Note.—Nuxated Iron recommended
above by Dr. Sauer, i« one of tlie
newer organic iron compounds. Un
like the older inorganic iron products,
it is easily assimilated, does not injure
the teeth, make thorn black, nor upset
the stomach; on the contrary, it is a
most potent remedy, in nearly all
forms of indigestion, as well as for
nervous, run-down conditions. The
Manufacturers have such great confi
dence In Nuxated Iron that they offer
to forfeit $100.00 to any charitable
institution if they cannot take any
man or woman under 60 who lacks iron
and increase their strength 200 per
cent or over in four weeks time pro
vided they have no serious organic
trouble. They also offer to refund
your money if it does not at least
double your strength and endurance
in ten day's time. It is dispensed in j
Lhis city by Lomen Bros, successors
to Butler Mauro & Co., and all other
druggists.___
sist in the perpetuation of a peasant
class through the payment to labor
of just enough to keep body and soul
together, the United States should not
make itself a party to such a policy,
by free trade, or by reducing the
wages of labor hefe. But if Great
Britain, for example, can produce a
bolt of cotton cloth for $2, because of
the low cost of the labor involved,
and it costs the United States |3 50
to poduce the same bolt of cloth, be
cause we pay labor a much higher
rate, it stands to reason that the Eng
I sh bolt, under a free trade policy,
will find a ready sale here, while the
d' maud for Ue American cloth will
■ease, the mill fabricating it will close
lown, the workmen employed therein
will become idle, and the farmer sell
ing produce to them will lose custom
ers. If foreign manufacturers will
pay their workmen a wage anything
like that paid here, our own manu
facturers will take their chances with
free trade.
There is another solution of the
problem, and that is to pay our work
men the foreign rate of wages. Which
s hotter, to educate the foreigners to
Higher standards, or recommend low
er standards for our own people?
