NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
The Season and Its Dangers.

The human body is chiefly composed Of tissues
and bres as sensitive to every change in the con-
dition of the atmosphere as the most delicate cleo
trometer, or the quicksilver in barometer tube
The stomach, the skin, the nerves, the lungs,
and the excretory organs are especially liable to be
affected by these variations, and the best defense
against their disastrous tendency is to keep the
digestive machinery, which feeds and nourishes
the whole system, in good working order
If the stomach is weak or disordered, neither the
blood nor the bile can be in a healthy state and
upon the fitness Of these two important Anids for
the offices assigned to them by nature. and the
regularity Of their flow, health in a great measure
depends.
When the air is heavily laden with chilling vanors
as 1t often is at this season Of the year the diges
ton should be an object of peculiar care If II ia
weak and languid, the whole physical structnre
will be enervated. If it is vigorous the entire or
ganization will be strong to resist the untoward
and depressing influence of damp and vit1ated
atmosphere.
pure and powerful tonic is therefore esnaciaIIv
needed as safeguard against the diseases most
common in the spring, and Hostetters Stomach
Bltters being the most wholesome and potent med
icine OF the class at present known course Of il
Is particularly advisable at this period of the year
The stomach will thereby be toned and STRENGTH
ened, the liver and bowels regulated the peryous
system braced up, and nature put in a state of ao
i've defense against the miasma which superin-
duces intermittent and remittent feyers rheuma-
tisms, nervous debility, headache, hypochondria
and other complaints which are apt to assal the
untoned and unfortlhed organizations. The body
is strengthened without exciting the brain. and
consequently no unpleasant reaction follows its
reviving and renovatlng operation.

PARDON BROKERAGE-UNI
SAL AMNESTV.

The Cincinnati Gazette, emphatically
Radical, is with Greeley openly in favor
of universal amnesty. We are pleased to
chronicle the fact, and give due credit
therefor, that one by one the leading
Radical journals are taking ground for
universal amnesty. The exigencies of the
occasion and the popular demand require
it. The Gazette says:
The country had dispensation of par
dons at retail under Andrew johnson, and
found it vile system. We do not sup
pose that johnson touched the money that
was paid for his pardons, but the system
fastened upon him gang of pardon
brokers. The present system of peddling
out amnesty in Congress is just as cor
rupting, and can not but result in the
same trade. We do not believe that
Representatives who can put persons
name in a special amnesty bill, will be free
from offers of a consideration for doing
it. We do not believe that such offers
will be in vain. We donot believe that the
best men will seek amnesty in this way
We do believe that this way is bad every
way. We doubt if Congressman can
touch this bill of special favors without
being defiled by it or defiling it. And we
do believe that general amnesty is need
ed, both to bring the natural leaders of
society into the local governments and
into the national councils.

JJ0,O OO
These estimates leave supply of 3d.
900 bales Of cotton per week for English
consumption during the year, against
80, 900 bales a week last year. The &C
tual consumption last year was 3,347, 900
bales (of 400 lbs. each.) This year $780,,
900 bales additional will be required to
keep the cotton mills in full supply. The
United States will probably send forward
its anticipated quota, but it is extremely
doubtful whether India will sus-
tain her proportion. The accounts
from that quarter are decidedly
less favorable Mail advices from Bonn
bay, Jan s, state that the market is COM
paratiyely bare of stock, that the receipts
are considerably less than at the cores
ponding period in the preceding year, and
that the accounts from the interior are
less encouraging. Telegraphic dispatches
from that port represent the shipments to
Jan. % as q, 100 bales less than at the
corresponding period last year. Western
India will scarcely reach an average, and
from Brazil we learn that the competition
of China will prevent any increase in the
exports for Europe. Altogether the ac-
counts from India are by means reassur-
ing, and as a large portion of the in
creased supply must come from that quar-
ter, it would appear that the misgivings
of the London Economist, respecting a
plentiful supply, were not altogether I'M
founded. 1t is to be remembered that
prices have an important influence upon
the Indian supply. If rates are high the
cotton is sent forward in abundance; but
reduction causes it to be retained for the
home market.
At any rate the English cotton manu-
featuring districts are beginning to present
a more prosperous appearance than at any
period since the cutting off the supplies
by our civil war. Factories are starting
up, and, at last accounts, the consump-
ton was at the rate of $1,000 bales per
week, an excess of 1900 bales over the
estimates of the London Times. 1t is a
favorable feature that while raw cotton
has declined in price, the manufactured
article has increased This indicates a
healthy activity in the general trade and
promises well for the future. 1t is an
feature of the English cotton
trade that the demand should increase
with low and diminish with high prices.
The present exception to the rule, in !
Lancashire, shows how closely the supply !
has been Iimi ted 10 actual cOnsump- !
ton. There were no stocks of goods on |
hand, and prices necessarily advanced

with an improved demand A Similar
condition of affairs is likely to occur On
this side Of the water. In case of an i'm
provemcnt in business we may see an
advance in The price of cotton goods in
the face of a decline in the raw material,
simply as a result of the reduced stocks
on hand.
While review of The cotton market
may be regarded as unfavorable to high
prices, yet it by no means warrants the
anticipations Of any important reduction.
The demand and supply are so nearly
equal that, in the absence of financial en-
barrassments, no important fluctuations
are likely to occur. The increased actiy-
ity in Lancashire win cause sharp com
petition for cotton. The same causes
that produce an increased consumption In
England also operate on the continent of
Europe, with the result of an increased
demand for the staple 1t is so much to
the interest of the foreign manufacturers
to keep down prices, and they know SO
exactly the amount that is likely to be
thrown upon the market, that they will
not bid against each other to any serious
extent. But still the improved consump-
ton is SO likely to keep pace with the in
creased supply that there is no good rea-
son why American holders should yield
any material concessions in price. 1t is
to be remembered that there is always q
bear movement in cotton when the new
crop comes forward, and last year those
who held their stock the longest realized
the highest prices.

THE COTTON DEMAND AND SUP
Div

The arrivals of cotton at the Southern
ports up TO the close of the cotton week
on Friday last continued to be large, and
show important gains on the previous sea-
son. The receipts for the week closing
with Friday were 96,424 bales, against
90, ga the week before, and "A, 57S for
the corresponding period last year. New
Orleans has been the receiver for the
larger volume of the increase, the arrivals
there having been 1886 bales, as OPP
posed to 25, 659 last season. The steady
and full amount of the receipts has ex-
ceeded the anticipations of many, and the
largest estimates are now finding adyo-
Gates, the ssBears" having the field; but
there are those who still look for such an
early and rapid reduction of supplies, as
will bring the extreme estimates now made
into smaller limits. The receipts at the
Southern ports have been about as fol-
lows up to the latest dates:

Mr.. WILSON, of Massachusetts, tauntcd
the Democrats the other day with the fact
that they had but nine United States Sen
ators TO six times this number Of Radicals
and Senator Casserly told him the reason
was that not one of them had been sent
there by means Of bayonets used over an
oppresscd and down trOddcn people.

Total. ...............1,5 35, 1O4 1902, IS


These figures indicate an increase in the
cotton in sight of 232, 224 bales compared
with the same date of 1869.
Stock of cotton held by Manchester
spinners at the mills now, 10000 bales ;
same time 1869, IS, 900 bales.
What the course of the market may be
for some time to come is, of course, a
matter of the deepest importance, not
only to the special interests more imme-
diately concerned, but also 10 the great
mass of consumers. Upon this point,
however, the data are not sufficiently re-
liable to warrant anything more than con-
jectural estimates. But assurances are
sufficiently clear, says the New York
Economist, that nothing like the break
down in prices, anticipated in some quar-
tiers, is probable or even possible. The
grounds for anticipating the extreme re-
duction are based upon the similar col
lapse of the grain market in the West.
But there is very little analogy between
the two cases. The South is in much
better condition to hold the balance of
the cotton crop, and is much more Ger
tain of market for it than the West was
in relation to grain. The worlds supply
of cotton is clearly known, and SO far
nearly one-third of the American crop
still remains in planters hands. Hitherto
they have sent the crop forward in large
quantities under the inducements of high
prices. But any material decline is al
most certain to reduce receipts, and this
event will not be without its influence
upon the market.
The London Times gives the following
estimate of the sources from which the
English cotton spinners will draw their
supplies for the current year, commencing

DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER

Persons unacquainted with the structure and
functions Of the Kidneys cannot estimate the i'm
pOrtdnce Of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys is
as important, nay, even more so, than regularity
of the bowels. The Kidneys remove from the
Blood those effete matters which, if permitted to
remain, would speedily destroy life A total sus-
pension of the urinary discharges will occasion
death from thirty-siX to fOrty-eight hours.
When the Urine is yOidsd in small quantities at
the time or when there is disposition to Urinate
more frequently than natural, or when the Urine
is high cOlored or scalding, with weakness in the
small of the back, it should not be trihed with
delayed, but Koskoo should be taken at once to
remedy the difficulty, before lesion of the organs
takes place. Most Of the diseases of the Bladder
originate from those OF the Kidneys, the Urine
being imperfectly secreted in the Kidneys, prove
irritating to the Bladder and Urinary passages.
When,we recOllect that medicine never reaches the
Kidneys except through the general circulation Of
the Blood, We see how necessary it is to keep the
Fountain of Life Pure.

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

''The life Of the flesh is in the Blood" is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves to be true
The people talk of bad blood, the cause of many
diseases, and like many popular opinions this Of
bad blood is founded in truth.
The symptoms Of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad Digestion causes imperfect nutrition,
and consequently the circulation is feeble the soft
tissues lose their tone and elasticity, and the
tongue becomes pale, broad, and frequently COW
cred with pasty, white coat This condition soon
shows itself in rOtghHess Of the skim then in ERUP-
TIVE and LUCRATIVE diseases, and when long con-
nued, results in serious LESSONS of the Brain Iv-
er, Lungs, or urinary apparatus. Much, very
much, suffering is caused by impure blood. 1t is
estimated by some that one-ffth of the human
family are affected with scrofula in some form.
When the blood is pure, you are not so liable to
any disease. Many impurities Of the Blood arise
from impure diseases of large cities. Eradicate
every impurity from the fountain Of life and good
spirits, fair skin and vital strength will return to
you.
