Whist True Merit WIN DO.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's Ger
man Syrup within few years. has astouished
the world. 1t is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and etfectual cure of coughs, colds. aud the
the severest lung troubles. 1t acts on an en-
tirely different principle from the n.ual pre-
scriptions given by physicians, "a 1t does not
dry up cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in purely healthy condi-
tiou. A bottle kept in the house for use
when these diseases make their appearance,
will save doctors bills and long spell of
serious ilIne.s. A trial will convince Won Of
these facts. 1t is positively sold by all drug
gists and general dealers in the land. Price

The Republican will present tomorrow
morning carefully prepared report of the
fall harvest in Western Massachusetts,,
Northern Connecticut and Southern Vermont
and New Hampshire. The farmers in every
section report an unevertful season from
seed time to harvest. There has been no
early or late frosts to injure the crops; no
severe drouths to retard the growth and no
hard storms. All the crop. are of average
-xcellence, while several in comparison with
last year are large. Corn i. the only doubt
tul crop 1t started hard but in almost every
section it has turned out well. The first of
the grass was heavy and by reason of except
ionally good hay weather it was received in
good shape. The late heavy rains have
made farm feed abundant. Potatoes have
yielded well and abundsntly. The apple
crop Is not up to last years crop, but pears
were never so plenty.

Agitating For The Reduction Of The
Hours of Labor.

A mass meeting of wage workers, un-
der the auspices of the Central Labor
union, was held in Fanueil Hall, Boston.
last evening. to consider the reduction OF
hours of labor, the hall being completely
filled Mr. Chamberlain acted as chair
man. He asked his hearers to take IA les
son from the men who, under Washing
ton, struggled for rights which were ~
dear to them as the rights OF the IdhOrlng
man are to him to-day. The hand and
the mind must join together; II is not
RIGHT that w0rkingncn should be- told
that the mind is to b" followed rather
than the hand Let the wage workers
unite for a reduction of the hours of
labor With that reduction will come
an advance of wages; that has always
been the case. Too much must not dc
pend on the ballot, and too much depend
ence must not be placed ON the halls of
legislation. but when the WorEtingncn
unite they can secure a reduction to
eight hours The chairman read series
of resolutions strongly favorng the adop-
ton of the eight hour system, and he
then introduced Mr.. A. A. Carlton.
Mr.. Carlton said that the advancement
of the cause Of labor and Of mankind
must be made by the wage workers
~ themselves. In union there is strength.
and the day has come for the working
classes to bend all their energies to tn,
accomplishment of one purpose There
are many things to be accomplished, but
the principal one is to have the hours oi
labor reduced. One year age the people
who advocated this movement Wpr,
