Doctors Disagree.

AS reporter for the Pittsburg Com
mercial Gazette sat yesterday after.
poon) ia a chamber at 32l Federal ST.,
Allegheny, listening to a terrible tale
of suffering as it fell from the lips of a
gentle little lady, Mrs. Milo Ingram,
the daughter of Capt. Hugh McKelvey
of this city, it seemed almost too much
to believe, if the evidence had not been
close at hand to substantiate every
word. 1t was but another evidence of
the culpable ignorance of 3 large class
of practitioners of medicine, who
claimed for six years that her terrible
disease was cancer. She was covered
with ulcers, given up to die. Peruna
cured her perfectly. Continued on

The call for the Democratic National
Convention.is addressed to all Dem
ocratic conservative citizens of the
United States, irrespective of past po-
Iitical associations and differences, who
can unite with us in the effort for pure,
economical and constitutional govern
ment."
This is an honest invitation and
means just what it says. The Demo
cratic party is conservative in the best
meaning of the word. It stands upon
the Constitution as the basis of the
Government. 1t maintains every
guarantee of that instrument; free
and uncorrupted ballot; the supremacy
of the will of the majority of the peo,
pie equal civil and political rights for
all, without distinction of race or color;
the inviolability of contracts; the as.
surance by the General Government
of republican form of government to
all the States the power of Congress
to lay and collect taxes for national
debts the common defense and general
welfare, and the sacredness of the
property AS we'll as of the lives and lib
cry of all citizens.
The Democratic party is making an
earnest effort for pure, economical and
constitution government when it en-.
deavers to drive from power q party
corrupt and extravagant and holding
constitutional restrictions and limita-
tions in contempt.
The call for the Republican National
Convention is addressed to all "who
are in favor of elevating and dignity
ing American labor" of securing
free suffrage and an honest counting of
ballots" and who " desire to promote
friendly feelings and permanent har-
mony throughout the land"
This invitation is extended by party
which tOadies to wealth and despises
the workingman which legislates in
favor of corporations and mOnopolies
against the rights and interests of the
people; which evinces its desire to
"secure free suffrage by purchasing
the vote of Indiana with a corruption
fund raised by the pledge of United
States Judgeships and Cabinet posi-.
tions; which proves its love of an hon.
est count by defraudiDg Tilden and
inaugurating Hayes, which illustrates
its desire to promote friendly feelings
and permanent harmony throughout
the land by its efforts to rekindle the
flames of sectional strife and to drag
forth from its resting-plaoe the bloody
shirt.
To which of these invitations will
the honest voters of the United States
respond I'm. Y. World.

AGRICULTURE is the great and con-
trolling industry Of this country, but
it receives 40 protection at the hands
of Congress. If the farmer produces
more wheat, corn or other commodi-
ties than this country can use, it is
sent to Europe where it comes in COM
petition with the like products of the
serfs of Russia and the slaves of India,
the price of his commodities being
beyond his control, and governed by
the market of Liverpool. II would
seem as though this great industry
should not be compelled to pay tribute
to build up a privileged class.

GERMANY VS.. UNITED STATES,

Tom Ochiltree has at last succeeded
in Identifying himself with the United
States, either by intent or accident.
Bismarck's return of the Ochiltree-
House Lasker resolution is now the
great theme of speculation as to wheth-
er our foreign relations are not now
passing into stage of hostilities. 1t
is urged and conceded that when Herr
Eisendecker, the German Minister,
officially presents the resolution to our
government, it's return will be refused
peremptorily. This action must be
taken to maintain the dignity of the
United States, and the result will be
the recall of the respective ministers
"a very serious state of affairs between
two governments. The next week or
ten days will develop this matter into
q grave question.

All seeds are apt to lose their vitality
from improper curing and various 9TH

be injured. In order to help guard
against the loss from planting poor
seeds. the Ohio Agricultural Expert.
ment Station has arranged to test, free
of charge, all seeds sent for that pur-
pose.
In selecting samples care should be
taken TO secure fair average of the
whole stock to be used. The corn
should be taken one kernel from the
middle, one from the butt, and one
firm the tip of each 100 ears; the tip,
middle and butt kernels kept searate.

Ovelturns the unjus bill passed lay the

but which political outrage was con-
demned at the ballot boxes. It is ac-
ceptable because it ut least divides the
districts between the parties az near MS
may be in proportion to their respect.
i've votes in the State, securing for the
Democrats twelve districts, end for the
Republicans ten. 1t is acceptable be-
cause it has elasticity, which insures
to whichever party carries the State a
majority of the Congressional repre-
sentation, because generally as HamiI.
ton county goes so goes the State, and
when Hamilton county goes either
way the two districts there will be
changed. which will change the char

=" If protective tariff is sunny
faced blessing to the workingmen, ev-
cry one who labors in every branch of
the iron industry should be rich and
happy, for a more thoroughly "pro.
tected" business would he hard to find.
Yet thousands of iron workers can find
nothing to do at present but drink beer
and moan about being out of work. A
serious reduction in the wages Of nail
makers has just been ordered, aud now
it is reported that a number of iron
miners in Pennsylvania are destitute
and suffering, their wages having been
reduced to sixty-five cents per day |!
If extreme protection had not induced
men to erect many more iron works
than the demand for iron warrants,
there would not be for every contract
the fierce competition that compels
producers either to shut down or lower
wages to the starvation point. When
iron miners in the United States have
to work ten or twelve hours daily for
sixty-five cents, they are worse off than
the pnuper laborers OF Europe"
