Wonderful Cures.

The press Of the country is con-
stantly filed with wonderful cures
which have transpired through the
agency Of some medicine in their i'm
mediate neighborhood. Some of these
have some foundation, but great
number have no better basis than the
Eighty Imagination of the writer.
The following case, however, is with
out precedent, and anyone is given
the privilege of writing to the sub
scriber and finding if he tells the
truth.

it my duty to express to you, before
your departure from our city. my
thanks for the great benefit received
from the use of your medicine, Peru

my feet, after sickness of four weeks,
which confined me to my bed and
then left me lame and crippled. Three

The ONLY Issue.

Mr. Hewitt has stated the exact
truth in declaring the question of the
tariff to be the only living issue be-
tween the two great political parties.
What other issue is there!
We all believe in the amendments
we all believe in Identifying human
labor; we all believe in a sound and
stable currency. The Republican
party has administered the Govern
ment for twenty three years and it is
corrupt by reason of its indulgence.
Shall the people be asked to put the
Democratic party in power in order
that it may become corrupt teof
Shall we have nothing to say for
ourselves beyond the mere plant
that the time is come for us to have
our turn?
The Republican party will 60 when
the people come to understand that
they will gain by the change. 1t
will not 60 before. What have the
Democrats to offer now? What will
they do that the Republicans have
not done?
Speaker Carlisle and the Demo
Gratis who agree with him and who
control the party in the North and
South, propose to make reform sure
for the future by practicing reform
now. They propose to reform the
great abuse OF the day in pairing down
the tariff. Proposing this they will
pass reform bill through that branch
of the National Legislature which
they control.
The Republicans take issue with
them. They favor protective tariff.
They demand that taxation shall not
be reduced. They believe in Great
ing Treasury surplus which they
can expend. They assert that taxes
are low enough already. If they are
not. take off the internal revenue tax
on whiskey and tobacco and leave
that on blankets, and sugar and corr
alone. They want cheap whiskey il
order that they may use it to ''dignify
human labor" The Democrats pre-
fer the cheaper blankets. They wisl
the tax on whiskey and tobacco t.
remain.
A royal issue it is. Let it b.
! placed before the people at once and
let the people decide Washington

The phiIadeIphia Times, 1854.

The Times will enter upon the new
year stronger and more prosperous
than ever before in its history more
widely read and quoted, more heartily
commended, and more fjerccly criti-
cised, with a more complete organiza-
ton, and an ADLER staff of contribu-
tors-and with the same indepen-
dencc and fearlessness that has made
it successful and powerful in the past.
The Times has no party to fellow,
no candidates to advance, but will
meet every issue, as it has ever done.
with consistent devotion to the right,
to honest government, and the public
welfare. And, while maintaining its
position MS the leading journal of
Philadelphia, it will aim to be contin-
ually in the advance in all that can
add value to newspaper.
The value Of a newspaper is not in
its size or disploy, but in the inteli-
gence and care, the conciseness and
freshness with which it is edited. The
Times spends lavishly for news from
all parts Of the world, but all its dis
patches are carefully edited and con
densed, in order to give the complete
news of the day in the most concise
and attractive shape, and with it
large variety Of entertaining and in
structive reading. The best writers
at home and abroad are employed to
enrich its columns, and to make it
journal adapted both to the busy man
and to the leisure of the home circle,
welcome visitor to intelligent and
honest citizens of every political, re-
ligious, and social taste.
The Weekly Times is altogether
different from the weekly newspaper
of twenty years ago The day of
those papers is gone by. The tele
graph and better local newspapers
everywhere, especially in the thriving
centres ofrural population, have made
the old weekly metropolitan newspa-
per unsatislying. Those that cling
to their ancient usages have lost their
hold on our forward moving people;
they are but a shadow of their former
greatness, and they have but shad-
ow of their former power. Those pa
pcrs have had their usefulness, but
it is gone; and, with it, they are 60
ing, too.
1t was not the fault of the papers; it
was the improvement OF the country
that brought about the change. Men
and women, wherever they live. now
require fresher news; and they re-
quire more than news.
The Weekly Times gathers off the
types of every passing week whatever
has lasting interest to people at large,
and sets it before them in such gen
crosby Of paper and print as would
have astonished US all twenty years
ago.
DAILY-Twelve cents week, fifty
cents q month, Sc 4 year, two cents
copy.
SUNDAY-Four cents copy, 50 a
year.
WEEKLY-One copy, So a year; five
copies, SO q year; ten copies, $l5 a
year; twenty copies, $25 a year, with
one copy free to the getter-up of
every club. The TINES,
Philadelphia.

The LOcalRaDer.

The Chicago Tribune, one Of the
leading papers of the West tells a
great deal of truth in few words in
the following article:
What tells SO readily the standing
of town or city as the appearance
of its paper? And its youth or its
age can as we'll be determined as by
a personal notice The enterprise of
it's citizens is depicted by its adver-
tisements, their liberality by the
looks of the people. Some papers
showsa good, solid, healthy foundation,
plethoric purses, and well TODD APP
pearance generally; others show q
striving to contend with the grasp
ing thousands around them, trying
to wrench out an existence from the
close listed community around them.
An occasional meteoric display in
its columns shows what it can do if
it had the means, hat it cannot con-
tinue its expensive work until sup
port comes which ought to readily be
granted.
A newspaper is like church; it
wants fostering; then it can reflect
credit on its location. Take your
home paper. Itgives you more news
of immediate interest than New York
or other papers; it talks to you when
other localities belle you; it stands
up for your rights; you always have
champion in your home paper, and
those who stand up for you should
certainly be well sustained. Your
interests are kindred and equal, and
you must rise or fall together There
fore, it is to your interest to support
your home paper; not grudgingly, but
in liberal spirit; as pleasure, not
as disagreeable duty. but as an in
yestment that will amply pay the ex-
pcnditure.

The Greenbackers held conven-
tion in Parkersburg q short time ago
and resoluted that they would make
a platform broad enough to hold the
disgruntled of all parties, and that
they would hold State convention
at Buckhannon in June, and then go
forth and conquer and subdue the
earth. The Hon. Spencer Sturm we
believe was one of the choice spirits
of the late meeting.

The West va. Il Pennsylvania
Railroad Enterprise.

Messrs. Lowndes and Ruhl, OF
Clarksburg, came to town this week
with good deal more confidence in
their manner and speech than they
have manifested on former occasions
when they have visited us in the in
terests of the West Virginia and
Pennsylvania Railroad.
To these gentlemen and the people
they represent, it is much more de
sirable that the Pennsylvania com
pany should occupy the route up the
Monongahela than that the Baltimore
and Ohio company should. Indeed,
they have no desire whatever, that the
latter company should build the road.
The people of Harrison county are
seeking first and foremost, to obtain
a competing line with the B. IL O.
That is the chief Indictment which
has enlisted these gentlemen and
others in the enterprise they repre-
sent.
It is alleged by them that the rates
of freight imposed by the B. & 0.
upon traffic to and from Clarksburg
are unreasonable, unjust and exor-
btant. They believe that compel
ing line will greatly advance the
prosperity of their people, not only
by securing lower rates, but giving
them direct access to the Pittsburgh
market.
We are not surprised either at the
fact ofexorbitant rates being imposed
or at the means by which they seek
relief. 1t is the common rule Of rail
road companies to exact exorbitant
rates where they have exclusive con
troll of the traffic at any point. One
road is no better thar another in this
respect. They all do it. And the
only effectual remedy is that which
the people of Harrison are seeking-a
competing line.
We need not say to these gentle
men that the people of Monongalia
fully appreciate their situation and
earnestly desire to see them succeed
in their project.
But, at the same time, it cannot be
expected that our people should have
the same spirit of opposition to the
B. d. O. enterprise and the same ex
elusive desire for the Pennsylvania
road. that the people of Harrison have
We are entirely without a railroad
We think it will be an immense ad
vantage to us if the b. & O. company
will build road through the county
We prefer to submit to the gougine
of one company rather than have
none.
But in extending a welcome to tho
B. d O. we certainly mean no hostil
ity' to the w. Va q Pa. company
We even think that the latter roat
might be Of more advantage to us
than the former. But we want s
road; and it is natural that we SHOULD
be disposed to favor that COMPANY
which shall give it to us soonest. !
that is the W. Va. & Pa. company
we say hurrah for it; if it is the B. 4
O., we say hurrah for it. We don
know which gives the best assur
ances, so, just now, we are hurrahin.
| for both,

"MIGHTY INTERESTING READING. -
From the LIST January, 1884, to the
1st January, 1885, we are to have an
! interesting succession of stirring
events of which every one will wish
to hear. Two military campaigns
are at present in progress-that of
Ell Mahdi in the Soudan and of the
French in Tonquin-both of which
are approaching the critical point
The next session Of Parliament is to
be marked, according to the announc-
ed purpose of Mr. Parnell, by bitter
struggle of the Irish nationalists to
compel their English and Scotch col
leagues to concede to Ireland some
measure of home-rule. In default of
this, Mr.. Parnell promises to employ
his following to so obstruct the trans
action of parliamentary business as
to render the presence of Irish mem
| bers at ST. Stephens intolerable.
| This programme insnres succession
of exciting scenes in Parliament.
The new reform bill, which Mr. Glad
stone proposes to carry during the
session of 1854, will also doubtless
excite general interest in the United
States, as well as throughout the
British empire. Vastly more inter-
esting to American readers will be
the discussion to take place at Wash
ington within the next few months
over our own reform bill. The repub-
lican members of the present Con
gress are opposed to tariff reform.
The democrats, it is said, are divided,
the majority of them favoring, the
minority opposing it. Which will
get the upper hand? Will the high
tariff democrats co operate with the
republicans to maintain the present
absurd law? Or will the democrats
act Gogether and send reform tariff
bill to the Senate, which the Senate
will decline to pass? Every step Of
the struggle in the Capitol at Wash
ington will be watched withllively con-
Germ all over the country, and by the
time Congress adjourns the public
mind will be ripe for the opening of
a campaign which. it is safe to say,
will exceed in warmth any of its pre-
decessors since 1860. The meeting
of the Maryland Legitlasure at An
napolis on the I'd of January, and the
reassemblng of the Baltimore city
council latter in the same month, will
prove also events of engrossing inter-
est. But supposing the existence Of
citizen concerned about none of
j. these things, still he will need to
read the Sun for news Of the thou
sand and one other events of interest
that 90 so far to make up the cur
rent history of the world. The period
is one of rapid movement, and the
citizen who does not take paper is
sure to be left behind. If man ever
means to subscribe for paper, now
is the time, before the actors on the
worlds stage, during the year 1884,
have taken their places and begun
to play their parts. When it becomes
question of securing reliable news
paper, which will contain all the
news, succinctly expressed and fairly
reported, the proper course to pursue
is plain: take tie Sun.

How the Tariff Protects Labor

The wages of nearly a thousand
men employed in Roebling's Wire
mills at Trenton, New Jersey, have
been reduced ten per cent.
The tube manufacturers of Pitts
bnrgh are considering reduction of
ten per cent. in the wages Of their
employees.
A ten per cent. reduction in the
wages of the miners OF the Clearfield
region Of Pennsylvania went into eff
feet on New Years Day.
The Pioneer Silk company, at Pat
erson, N. j., has reduced wages from
So to about 81 IA day. The workmen
are now on a strike.
The operatives employed in the
thread manufactures at Newark and
Kearny, N. j., have been informed
that they will have to submit to a
reduction Of ten and fifteen per cent.
There is strike in the Grinnell
Gotten mills at New Bedford, Mass,
against ten per cent. reduction in
the wages Of the operatives.
1t is not low tariff that is bring
ing about this state of things, for We
are still living under high protec
tive system; it is not the tariff revis
ion of last year, for that we are told
has not been well enough tested tc
enable fair judgement of it's merits
it is not the tariff legislation of the
present Congress, for not a Revenue
Reform bill has yet been introduced
1t will doubtless be found in 9
great majority of instances similar
to those above cited, that the reduc.
lions of wages have been necessitated
by overproduction, and oyerproduc
ton is something always to be feared
so long as the cupidity Of producers
is abnormally stimulated by high
neutrality-suspicious..
Mr.. Hewitt's letter on this subjec
will bear reperusal in this connection
Excessive profits" says Mr.. Hew
lit, "are especially injurious to thu
working men of the country who ar
the chief sufferers when the inevita
able reaction to unnatural expansion
narrows the field for the employ men
Of labor"
1t is to the relief of the condition
OF the workingmen of the country
now being thrown out of employment
in all directions, that Congress SHOULD
first address itself. The way to re
lief lies through reduction of th
tariff--a reform of the revenue-pro
