Such a notice as this has been clipped by
an observing W. c. T. u. woman, from a
country paper: Hogs raised about dis
tilleries are very often subject to infam-
nation Of the lungs and liver. These
troubles may be easily avoided by using IS
horse and cattle powder in their swill." I
wish everybody wonld take as much pains
to prevent Inflammation Of the lungs and
liver in human beings raised on distilling
products, as is taken to protect the hogs.

Not long ago. the government OF Siam
aroused toa sense of injury to its citizens
from the sale Of drink by American
traders, besought the American consul to
withdraw his protection from these men.
and to his honor be it noted, the request
was granted. Congress can Withdraw it's
protection from such traffic by Americans
in all lands, but has not done so save in
this instance. On the contrary in its
treaties it has stipulated expressly that
dram selling by Americans shall not be in
terfered with Union Signal

Not yet prepared-Are W0rhingmen
prepared for this? They are told by
the advocates of free trade that there
must be Il reduction in wages Of 80
ler cent, before American products
can be sold IN foreign markets. L re-
duced tariff necessarily implies cheaper
labor, that manufacturers may com
pete with the cheap labor Of Europe.
Are Ii capitalists prepared for what
must follow? If wages are reduced,
rents, profits, interest, and the price of
manufactured products must be re-
duced. Is the country prepared for
such sweeping measures as those pro-
posed by the Carlisle bill? New Jersey
is not. The last Democratic victory
