Catarrhal
POT : S O N

Wei De Meyers Treatise on CatarTh,
explains the following important facts:
1. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, al first local. and finally
constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional. the infection is
beyond the reach of mere local remedies
g. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia,
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrhoea
and Consumption,
3. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalstions and
Insoluble Snuffs, cannot possibly remove in
fectious in1smmations from the organs named.
6. That ansantidote ior Catarrh must pos
sess an inocuIative affinity for, and the quality
OF being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories, DIR.
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved
infallible. 1t not only re1eaves, it cures

THE SUGAR TARIFF.

tions protesting against the con,

many Of those comprising the New
York meeting were before that
committee and failed to convince
them that the public interest re,
quired changes in the tariff adyo-
Gated by importers and refners. We
appeal and say that the resolutions
to- congress through the ways and
means committee do not jeopardize
by adverse Legislation the existence
of the Louisiana sugar industry, af-
fording, as it does, the principal
source of support to over 100000
people, and thus advance
the prosperity of the Cuban planter
by securing market to save the
ground sugars of that island; and,
further, that while the existing legis-
lation on this subject is not adequate
to our wants, because louisiana, in
the present depressed condition of
the sugar industry, needs all the
protection that the revenue tariff
strictly enforced incidentally af,
fords, still we acqdiesce in it rather
than continue the agitation which
threatens changes that would seri-
ously affect the credit and energy
Of producers and tend to ruin an in
dustry in Louisiana.

The bill for the application of un-
claimed bounty money of colored
soldiers to the education of the col
ored race was to-day reported to the
senate adversely by Senator Bruce,
from the committee on education
and labor, the committee finding that
from present ind ications said money
will all be needed to meet the law
full claims that are constantly beipg
presented.
Hon. Erastus Brooks, of the
New York Express, and Geo. Jones,
of the New York Times, appeared
before the house ways and means
committee, to-day, to urge the
removal of the duty of 20 per cent.
on wood pulp, used in making paper,
holding that itwould tend to neutral
ize the efforts of combination of
paper manufacturers to force the
price of paper up. The Smith pa
per company Of Lee, Mass, BulkN
ley. Danton & Co., Hon. VIM. A.
Russell, of Lawrence, Mass, Hon.
Warner Mills, of Herkimer, N. Y,
and others interested in paper man
ufacture were represented on the
other side of the question. They de-
clared that no combination to en-
hance prices exists; that the ad-
vance in the price of paper resulted
from the natural operation of the
law of supply and demand, and that
while the removal Of the duty
named would injure those engaged in
developing the process for making
cheap paper stock it would not regA
ulate the price of paper. The com
mittee will meet again to>morrow.

The house then went into a com

Mr.. McMahon co. pointed out
that the bill made no appropriation
for special deputy mar shals, and
said he doubted whether the demo-

money for special deputies, so long
as the law stood in its present shape
After some sparring between
Messrs. McMahon and Hawley
Conn.,, as to the question whether
the liability for the payment of
special deputy marshals was pub
lie debt or a private debt of the re-
publican party, Mr.. McMahon re-
sumed his remarks upon the bill,
attacking especially the extrava-
CANT administration of the govern

Mr.. Hiscock IN. W defended the
public printer from the charge of
squandering the public funds, and
as to the statement of Mr.. McMa-

not appropriate money for special
deputy marshals, said the democrats
had gone to the country on that
issue and been defeated (referring
especially to the elections in
Ohio. He was surprised, he said,
that the democrats, after such
experience, should come back and
announce that they would not obey
the decision of the supreme court.
Mr.. Mcmahon (Ohio) replied that
the debt had been incurred in ad-

to law.
