Father, Mother, s,nd Three SISTERS Dead.

Mr.. David Claypool, formerly Sergeant
alarms ofthe New Jersey Senate, and now
Notary Public at Cedarville, Cumberland
Co., n. D., makes The following startling
statement: "My father, mother, and three
sisters all died with consumption, and my
lungs were so weak raised blood. Nobody
thought l could live. My work (ship-
smithing) twas very straining on me with my
weak constitution, and was rapidly going
to the grave. While in this condition |
commenced using Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because it was so
difficult to get it in this little place, and >
had improved so much, | stopped taking it
for time, and the result is that | have
commenced going rapidly down hill again.
Somehow, Mishler's Herb Bitters gives
appetite and strengthens and builds me up
as nothing else does, and | must have a
dozen bottles at once. Use this commu-
nication as you please, and if any one wants
to be convinced of its truth let them write
me and will make affidavit to it, for /
owe my life to Mishlers Herb Bitters"
The secret of the almost invariable relief
and cure of consumption, dysentery, diar-
rhpa, dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney and
liver complaints, when Mishler's Herb
Bitters is used, is that it contains simple,
harmless, and yet powerful Ingredients,
that act on the blood, kidneys, and liver,
and through them strengthens and invigor-
ates the whole system. Purely vegetable
in its composition; prepared by a regular
| physician; a standard medicinal prepare
ton; endorsed by physicians and drug
| gists. These are four strong points in favor
| of Mishler's Herb Bitters. Mishlers Herb
Bitters is sold by all druggists. Price $l.0c

TALKING FOR TARIFF.
LABOR REPRESENTED BEFORE THE
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE.

A Hint That IL Congress Don't Do Some
thing for workingmen They VIII De
Something for Themseives-Fun in the
House-The Pan Electric.
WASHINGTON City March l3-Repre-
sentatves OF tue Amalgamatel Association
OF Iron and Steel Workers were heard Fri
day by ths house committee on ways and
means Mr.. Weihe, OF Fittsburg, president
of the asso ,iation, said that the agitation of
the reduction in the iron and steel schedule
had created great alarm among the workers
in these materials throughout the country.
If the iron and steel which WIS imported
during the past year had been
made in this country there would
not have been SO many idle hands
around the mills, and reduction in the
rate Of duty, would increase TIE number
of idle hands. FOR this reason the Amalga-
mated as ociation, which represented be
tween 5000 and S0,0ol men desired TO en-
ter its protest against the proposed iegisa
ton
Mr.. Martin, of Pittsburg, read a strong
protest prepared by committee of the as
ISOLATION. in watch the association says that
it is unalterably opposed to any revision of
the tariff, except in the direction Of higher
duties. Although the labor organ
izations of the country had not as yet
taken part in politics, if the tendency
| of congress was toward revision of the
tariff in the Iii ection OF reduction, these
| organi atoms would be forced t. take politi-
cal action w T. Stewart, an ironworker
of thirty years experience, stated that
general reduction of wages invariably fol
lowed general reduction OF tariff duties.
| A high prohibitory tariff would inure to the
benefit of the workingmen, the capitalist
and all classes of the country.
Breckenridge of Arkansas, of the com
mittee, suggested that in free trade England
f, better wages were paid than the protective
countries of the continent, and that on ac
count of The free trade the English working
man could get cheaper food 70 this Kelly
in ,uired whether the cheapness of food was
any benefit to the man who hal no work.
Breckenridge replied by asking what ben
| eft the high. priced food of the continental
countries was to a man who got less WAGES
than the English workman.
Kelly said man who had some work at
low wages was better oil than one who had
no work, though the rate OF wages III ms
country might be higher.
Breckenridge of Kentucky wanted to
know about the general condition of la or
in this country, whether it was in good re-
latious with the employers.
Mir Stewart replied that the relations
were moi satisfactory, and that that was the
cause of the organization OF many labor
associations The workingmen recognized
that III, laws of the United States ", re no,

The Sun on Morrison's Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON CITY, March l3-The New
York Sun, on Friday morning, says: NO
sensible or wellinformed man can have the
slightest doubt as to the fate which awaits
Mr.. Morrison's new effort in tariff tnkering.
Whatever becomes of it, however, as a
whole those clauses of his bill which relate
to the products of the forest should receive
the careful study and attention of the pres
emit congress The natural resources of the
country should be protected, just as much
US its industries. No system of protection
ever devised can ever be properly extended
so as to neeilessly destroy a natural deposit
like lumber, of limited quantity, upon which
hundreds of industries are entirely depend
ent for raw material This idea is now so
generally adopted, except by a few manu-
ia turers and owners of pine timber. that a
proposition to put all foreign lumber upon
the free list would probably lie favorably
received and acted upon by cong! ess. :"
