combining some well known valuable rem
edies, the most wonderful medicine was
produced. which would cure such wide
range of diseases that most all other rem

sceptical; but proof OF its merits by actual
trial has dispelled all doubt, and TO-DAY
the discovers of that great medicine, Hop

Increased Sugar Tariff Proposed
N. o. Democrats

The pew tariff bill is favorable to
Louisiana interests, increasing slight
~ the duty paid on imported sugar.
Under the existing law there are nine
different grades of sugar, subject to
different duties. The present bill
drops four of these grades, and Gre
ates only five. The duty OH melado
or nOlasses is increased from ]. 873
cents to 80 30, an increase of about
% per cent. On sugar not above No.
z Dutch standard, the duty is raised
from Elsa to 2 80 mot above No. 1925
TO 2.6, not above No. I3 from 2.Sl to
2.85, above No. Is from 3. 434 to A so.
The present average rate of duty on
sugar is SO per cent. the new tariff
bill will make it about SIS per cent.
The new tariff will increase the
amount of revenue from the duty on
sugar at least $l.74S, 457. 1t is prob
able, however, that it will increase it
much more, as the new tests for
sugar, the polariscope, ETC., will pre-
vent the frauds that have been per-
petrated in the past in the valuation
of imported sugar.
The New York refners are opposed
to the provisions of the tariff bill on
the sugar question, and talk of call
ing meeting to oppose it. Their
chief objection is that the bill makes
no provision for drawbacks, and .that
1T Introduces a new test. This little
instrument kseems to greatly alarm
them, and they declare that it will
make it Unnecessary foryevery sugar
importer to be a chemist. The true
exE lanation, however, is that it pre-
vents the possibility of defrauding
thetgoyernment by the system prac-
tlced for SO many years of falsely col
oring imported sugar.

there will be no effort TO secure an

From his address at the Ohio Army Reunion.
There are no more generous men
on this globe than the brave men, and
the drawer the soldier the tenderer he
is and the more generous he is; and
there remains in all this great audi
ence no bitterness toward those who
fought against us. Only this, we all
demand one thing, and will demand
it till we die-We demand that it shall
be acknowledged everywhere, that
the cause which triumphed was the
right cause lapplausel, and that any
man, wherever he lives, is our foe,
who tries to raise it up and make the
other cause light and ours wrong. Re
newed applause. While our cause is
acknowledged, we have no more
quarreling under the sun to do, but
until it is everywhere and forever ac-
knowledged we will quarrel forever
with the men who do that laughter
and applausel; and gentlemen, when
such an assembly as this meets on a
day like this, it is to renew our vows
to use the sacredness of that cause,
and to that, whatever we may be, we
will be citizens wherever we may be,
and i'm whatever lot of life, private or
we are deployed as skirmish-
ers around the flag of our union, and
rally always and everywhere when its
unity and glory are threatened from
any quarter whatever. Applause.
That inspiration we have in our
breasts to-day, and we will carry it
until the last summons. Great APP

tits Time To Be at Work.

Hon. Frank Hatton, Chairman of
the Republican State Committee, ed
itorially in the Hdwheye gives the
following excellent advice:
1--WE cannot too earnestly urge up
on republicans in every part of the
state the importance of such thor
ough canvass as will give the present
political standing and past political
prOclivitieS of new, or third party
men, of every voter in every town.
ship. Chairmen of county commit
tees should see to this at once, and at
the earliest day possible have i'm their
hands complete lists of voters by
townships and sub-districts. The
greenbackers make large capital bas-
ell upon their supposed or asserted
numbers. Careful investigation has
already shown in some cases and will
show in many Others that these claims
of strength are, like the currency
they would like to have, very much
inflated. A thorough canvass will
not only reveal the weakness or
strength if it shall prove to be such,
of our opponents, but will enable
committees to put documents where
they will do the most good. This
work has already been commenced in
good earnest in some counties, and it
ought to be extended until every SUBJ
district is reached. There has scarcely
been time in the last twenty years
when this minute and thorough cam
vass was more necessary to the intel
ligent and successful prosecution of
good work than at the present mo-
ment. Let there be no delay or neg
ligence regarding it. Let it be at
tended to at once, and thoroughly.
We have counseled those who have
it in charge in this county, that the
new organization of the party which
takes place each year, should be soon
effected. Thus far we have no call for
a county convention to do that work.
We renew our advice i'm this matter.

TWO TRAMPs SHOT.
They Attempt to Destroy a Har-
vestef and Meet a well-De-
served Fate.

The intelligence was received in
this city yesterday, that a farmer
whose name could not be learned. re-
siding at Wolcott, little station be-
tween Fairbault and Mcdford, on the
Iowa Div, of the G., NJ. Il st. p. r..
r., had administered lesson to two
tramps, that by reason of its severity
will never be appreciated by them in
this world, but will have whole
some effect in deterring others from
attempting similar crimes. The two
tramps above mentioned, under COW
err of the darkness, entered a wheat
field where a self binder harvester
had been at work during the day,
and deliberately piling the new cut
grain about the machine prepared to
cremate both grain and harvester.
Unfortunately for the success of their
plan, the owner, whose suspicious had
been aroused during the day, hap
pened along with double barreled
shot gun just as they applied the
torch, and with an impartiality which
him credit, gave each the contents OF
barrel. Result, two dead tramps
and little damage to the grain. The
farmer hurried to Fairbault after the
deed and gave himself up to the au-
thorities, but instead of being detain.
ed he was told to 60 back to his farm
and if another such attempt TO de
stroy his property was made, to serve
the perpetrators in like manner.-St
Paul Pioneer Press.
