Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Prcpriety Medicines, no doubt has bene-
fitted the consumers, as we'll as relieving
the burden of home manufacture.
Especial y is this the case with Green's
IugEst FIotres aud BOschee's German
Syrup, as the reduction Of thirty-six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-tifth more
medicine in the 75 cent size.
Tie august Fiowers for Dyspepsia and
and Liver Complaint. and the German
Syrup tor Coughs and Lung troubles,
!.ave perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advantage
of increased size of the bottles will he
greatly appreciated, 10y the sick aud atflIct,
ed, in every town and village in civilized
countries. Sample bottles for III cents
remain the same size.

The Signal Cupiahan saws:

The Signal Copiahan says: at
is rather premature to make predic.
tions for presidential candidates foI
1888, but we will venture one any
way, and that is that President
Cleveland and Mr. Blaine will form
the heads Of the tickets for that cam
paign." We will see the SignslCo
piahan on that and go one better.
We predict that Messrs. Cleveland
and Blaine will not only be the
nominees OF their respective parties,
but that both will be nominated by
reclamation.
