About the knights of Labor.

PORTLAND, Feb. 3.
representative of leading New York
cigar house. who passed through Portland,
Tuesday, stated in private conversation that
the question OF the employ ment of some 5000
men iii New York would depend upon two
points Whether the Knights of Labor would
recede from their present position and allow
sliding scale Of wages, making the quality
and quantity of cigars manufactured the test
on which to base wages paid; I'd, whether the
Knights would also recede from their position
that man once employed in a shop must not
be discharged because of the fact that he did
not prove first class workman
The manufacturers are ready to increase
the pay of the best workmen, but say they
cannot give an advance to a man, who. while
he makes as many cigars as the best man,
does not make cigar that can command a
first rate price IN the market. In his opinion
the'present position of the Knights of Labor
is in effect asking the manufacturers to put
premium upon poor work. lie predicts the

Tribute to True Worth.

One OF the best medical remedies OF the
day is TUFTS Liver Pills. DR.. Tut, though
established in New York for the past fifteen
years, is a Southern gentleman. lie is q
regular graduate and was for many years
Demonstrators OF Anatomy in one OF the
best Medical Colleges in the United States.
For twenty-five years he has made the
study OF the liver a speciality, in which he
was greatly assisted by his position as
Anatomist in that College. Twenty-Five
long years OF study and experiment, during
which time the Doctor was actively engaged
in practice, has perfected his liver pills,
which are now a household word all over
the world. Even ten yearsago TUFTS Pills
had but a limited reputation, but in that
time, aided by scientific research and con-
scientious business direction, they have at
tanned such II celebrity that there is not
civilized country on the globe where they
are not used. ltgives us pleasure to second
this tribute to the worth OF a conscientious
gentleman and the undoubted merit OF his
medicines which should be in every family.
