CHERRY PECTORAL.
In the Whole History of
AIndsas~n

No preparation has ever performed such
marvellous cures, or maintained SO
wide reputation, as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its long-continued
series of wonderful cures in all eli
mates has made il universally known
as safe and reliable agent to employ.
Against ordinary colds, which are the
forerunners of more serious disorders,
it acts speedily and surely, always re-
lieving suffering, and often saving life.
The protection it affords, by its timely
use in throat and chest disorders,
makes 1t an invaluable remedy to be
kept always on hand in every home.
No person can afford to be without il,
and those who have once used it never
will. From their knowledge of its
composition and operation, physicians
use the CHERRY PICTORIAL extensively
in their practice, and clergymen recon-
mend it. 1t is absolutely certain in
its healing effects, and will always
cure where cures are possible.

lars, too, have been paid for in gold or its
equivalent. Virtually, therefore, the treas
ury has been compelled in two months to
part with 100000 in gold. in order to add
TO its stock of silver The statement Of
March 1st shows that the treasury, neverthe-
less, increased its gold reserve in February,
and the proportion Of the gold owned to de-

reality, the treasury is Immediately liable
for S407 $40, 262, and has, to meet this
sum, Sl68. 585,454 in gold and 49,
,095 in unavailable silver. copper and
nickel. The increase in gold balances in
the treasury appears to be an accumulation
OF little more than one-third OF the amount
which becomes payable early this month in
excess oil ordinary demands. The treasury
does not seem from these statements to be in
az strong position as is desirable. 1t ought
at all times to have at hand at least forty
per cent. OF its demand Liabilities, not in sill
yer or nickel, in old iron or paving stones,
but in gold. By the middle of this month,
it is evident that the treasury will hold much
less than that reserve. Last month its re-
ceipts we're S31, 200, 900, OF which about S2l,-
100000 was required Tor ordinary expenses;
this month the extra payments to be made
will more than dorble the disbursements
while there is no certainty that the revenue
will remain undiminished. 1t ID especially
noteworthy that the receipts from domestic
taxation, for the first time in many months,
show a decline. Business has begun to stag
nate. The same story which the exchanges
have been telling appears now in the record
of treasury receipts. The decrease in mis-
cellaneous receipts-which include proceeds
of sales OF public lands also change
which does not betoken general prosperity.

INTERNAL REVENUE TAXATION.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO The rRIBuNE.l


WASHINGTON, June 21.-This afternoon, after the
bill for n new Congressional Library Building had
beer postponed until next December. Chairman
Kelley asked the House to begin the consideration
OF the Internal Revenue bill. The Democrats OF
fered some futile opposition, and then Judge Kelley
made speech explaining the provisions of the bill
which are already familiar to newspaper readers.
Mr.. Thompson of Kentucky, followed in a stump
speech, which attracted good-natured interest. Mr.
Thompson is opposed to any reduction of
Internal taxation, and denounced the bill
as wholly in the interest of
ca pitalists and mOnopolists and which would
not reduce by 81 the burden laid upon the laborng
and producing classes. The Republican party, he
declared. is leagued with the distillcrs and liquor
sellers of the country against the dear people. A
reduction of internal taxes is demanded, he as
serted. by the National bankers, who are alarmed
by the rapid payment of the public debt, which will
soon deprive them of basis for their banking sys-
TEN, and. Mr.. Thompson complacently described
IT, leave them in shattered" condition The
Kentucky statesman also wants the internal rev.
enue system continued as at present. because he be-
leves that this Will naturally result in an earlier
and more sweeping reduction in the tariff.
Mr.. White also of Kentucky, next obtained the
floor. He wants all taxes taken off tobacco Mr..
White gave way to the off ring of amendments,
which are to be printed in The Record
tomorrow morning. There were about forty
of them, only few of which were read. Mr.. Ran
dali is willing to wait until July 1888. before TAX
ing the tax off tobacco and Its manufactures.
MIR. Flower offered an amendment, which, he
said, too long to read, but which i'll general
terms provides for the abolition of the tobacco
taxes. January l, 1888 the abolition of taxes on
fermented liquors, January 1. 1854 and q change
in the method of collecting the tax on distilled
spirits after the latter date. Chairman Kelley
thought general debate on the bill ought to be
closed early tomorrow afternoon. but several Dem
ocrats demurred and 10 agreement was reached.
strenuous effort will be made to finish the bill be-
fore 9 o'clock Saturday afternoon, when the
memorial services of the late Represent taive Allen,
of Missouri, are to be held.
Chairman liiscock, of the Appropriations Com
mttec is very anxious that the bill shall be dis
posed of Friday, in order that the Navy bill may
be taken up this week.
