PILES! PILES! PILES!
A Sure Cure Found at Last. Nc
One Need Suffer.

A sure cure for Blind, Bleeding Itch
ing and liberated Piles has been dis
covered by DR. William, IAN Indian
remedy,) called DIR. Williams Indian
Ointment. A single box has cured the
worst chronic cases of % or 80 years
standing. No one need suffer five
minutes after applying this wonderful
soothing medicine. Lotions, instru-

than good. Williams Ointment ab-
serbs the tumors, allays the intense
itching, particularly at night after
getting warm in bed,) acts as a poul-
tice, gives instant and painless relief,
and is prepared only for Piles, itching
of the private parts, and for nothing
else.
Read what the Hon. J M. Coffin berry,
of Cleveland, says about DR.. Williams
Indian Pile Ointment I have used
scores of Pile Cures, and it affords me
pleasure to say that 1 have never found
anything which gave such immediate
and permanent relief as DIR. Williams
Indian Ointment.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, May 16.-James
Wick, the we'll known florist and seeds
man, is dead, aged SO years. He was
born at Portsmouth, England; was a
playmate of Charles Dickens; came to
this country in 1888, and set type with
Horace Greeley on the Knickerbocker.
He subsequently became editor of the
Genesee Farmer and HOrticulturist,
and was for long time Secretary OF
the American Pomolegical Society and
member of the Royal Horticultural
Society. He went into the seed busi-
ness in 1860, and was one of the most
charitable men. 1t is reported that bis
gifts averaged $100, 600 yearly. During
the Kansas grasshopper plague he sent
$25, 900 worth of seeds to the sufferers
and last year sent SO, 900 or SIS, 900 to
the Michigan sufferers.

Proteet,rxthe working Men.

In long and able article under the
above caption, the New York Times,
the ablest Republican paper in the
nation, shows the absurdity of what
the protection advocates are constantly
asserting. 1t says:
"The protectionist journals and the
protectionist orators and essayists IN /
Congress are never weary of proving !
over and over, what 10 one denies, !
that wages are higher Oh the average
in the same trades here than in foreign
countries, and then they calmly assert
that this is due to the protective tariff.
Such tariff exists here, and wages
are high, it does not exist in England,
and wages are low, therefore the pro-
tective tariff causes high wages. But
then there is a protective tariff in
France, and wages are lower than in
England; higher protective tariff in
Spain than in France, and wages are
still lower; still severer protective
tariff for certain trades in Russia, and
wages are lower yet. In China, when
foreign goods were wholly excluded,
wages were merely nominal, and in
New South Wales, where there is sub
stahtial free trade, wages are higher
than they are In the United States.
Obviously, the argument is defective.
The alleged cause exists without the
alleged effect, and the alleged effect is
found separate from the alleged cause,
and in connection with its exact oppo-
site. It is not to be questioned that a
protectective duty levied on foreign
goods will permit. the home manufac-
turer of like goods, so long as he is not
interfered with by home competition,
to make an unusual profit, from which
lie may, if he choose, pay unusual
wages. The fact is, however, that he
will only pay such wages as he finds
himself compelled to pay to get the
workmen he needs, and the rate will
inevitably be fixed by the relation be-
teen the demand and and the amount
of such labor offered. What, there
f fore, the protectionists must show IL
} order to prove that the tariff benefit:
the working man. is the proof tha
protected manufacturers actually pay
more than the market rate of wages
. To make cut their case reasonably they
, ought to show that protected manufac
q turers do this as class. But if they
will cite the authenticated instance o
single great favored industry, lik
that of iron and steel, or wool, or ever
E single. extensive concern in one o
these trades, they would afford
wholly novel basis for their argument
and one quite worthy to be considered.

EcOnOM mn ".

They are economical out in Ohio A
man was buried by the caving in Of a
well. His family wanted to get his
body out TO hold Il funeral jamboree
over it. But they didn't like to go to
the expense of digging it up. So they
had it hinted to the boys at neigh
boring MedicalCollege that they might
go at night and dig up the body and
steal it. And, of course, the students
did it. They worked like butchers
nearly all night, and then when they
got the corpse out the relatives jumped
in and seized it, and threal eded to
prosecute the students, and the latter,
to settle the matter, paid over enough
money to liquidate the funeral expens-
es. See how economical people, with
the example of Mr.. Hayes before them,
can be II Boston Post.

THE Canadian government is hav-
ing trouble with the color line in its
postoffice department. The appoint,
ment of colored letter carrier in the
Toronto office raised big muss, fifty
carriers refusing to work if the colored
brother went on. The white men car
ried their point, and the man was as
signed to other employment until the
matter was settled. 1t was the first
attempt to employ a colored man in
the civil service, and it looks as if il
might he the last.

Editor NeW York Tribune-Sir: l am q

Weekly Tribune, for two reasons.
First, for the New York live stock
market. am we'll satisfied with that
department. Second, I have hereto
fore received mostly all my political
information from Democratic sources,
and thought would try the effect of
a representative Republican.
1 see in my last an article under the
heading of "Ohie Temperance Legis-
lation." Now, sir, if you want to be
honest you will tell your readers that
the Republican defeat in Ohio was
caused by the hypocracy of the Repub-
lican party. No man could enlighten
you on that question better than Gov
ernor Foster. For the last two years
the Brewers Association played,
Charley danced, and the Temperance
men paid the fiddler. In other words
they carried water on both shoulders,
and now the temperance cheesemakers
got strong enough to upset one of the
buckets, and passed the Pond Law,
Speaker Hodge says the damphooIs

Fall, if not for all eternity But that
was not the only reason. The Garfield
Republicans are dissatisfied with the
workings of the present administra-
ton. You know how tits yourself.
1t seems to me the Tribune is not
very effective, else the machine would
not keep running as it does. Your

Samuel J. Tilden, and yet little Sam

others of the opposite party, True,
you don't try to answer their argu-

that almost anyone could do that. ex-
