The usual remedies, while they NAV
give temporary relief, are likely to do
more harm than good. What is needed
Is an Alternative and Blood-purifier.
Ayers Sarsaparilla is incomparably
the best. 1t corrects those disturbances
in the circulation which cause sleepless-
ness. gives increased vitality, and re-
stores the nervous system to a healthful
condition.
Rev. 7. G. A. Cote, agent Of the Mass.

his stomach was out of order, his sleep
verv often disturbed. and some i'm

a perfect cure was obtained by the use
of Ayers Sarsaparlla.
Frederick W. Pratt, 424 Washington

was prostrated with nervous debility.
Ayers Sarsaparilla restored her to

William F. Bowker, Erie, Pa, was

A FEW Observation-Disclosures for
surplus is robbery.
Well says the Old Roman: "When you
tax people for more than the government
has any occasion to demand, you are rob-
bling the people Of the money that belongs
to them"
A tariff for bounties is robbery.
There is no power vested in Congress to
tax the many in order to make the few
rich. This is what a tariff does which
maintains duties covering twice the aver
age total cost of labor in the protected
articles. President Foster of the Repub-
lica League told the truth in his money
raising circular wheE he certified that the
protected manufacturers are getting "prac-
tically the sole benefit of our tariff laws"
A tariff is a tax.
The man who says that tariffs not tax
when it is paid, either lies willfully or
mistakes ignorantly. Every imported du-
table article upon which the tariff is hon
estly paid is %enhancedin cost to the Amer
lean consumer by the full amount of the
duty.
"Delnition is argunent."-[New York
World.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1888-09-12

n TAN ON II looR.-When your
State tax is levied it islevied on property !;
it is paid by property The man Of much
property pays muchmore than the man of
little property, andSrsxan of no proper
ty pays none at all, but a tariff is a tax
that is paid by tn. consumer of the So
called protected articles. He pays it not
to the tax-gatherer, not to any officer of
the government, bit he pays it in the
price which he gives for every protected
article that he buys.-[Allen G. Thurman's
Speech at Toledo.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1888-09-12

THE ISSUE REMAINs.-Mr. Blaine will
not be able to change the national issue
from a reduction of taxes to a reduction of
wages.
The surplus is too large and too menac-
ing a fact to be hidden or successfully ig-
nored. No stump oratory, however au-
dacious, and no personality, however mag
netic, can cause the voters to forget thai
one party proposes to stop the surplus and
the other to spend it.
Nor can the Republican Senators change
the issue by what the Tribune properly
characterized in advance as "a tariff bill
for buncombe." The Republican platform
enumerated and favored six schemes for
spending the surplus, and only one alter
native-the abolition of the whiskey tax
for preventing it. The Senate has put it.
self irrevocabIy on record in support of
this policy by passing bills at this session
that would exhaust the surplus in the
Treasury and p%erpetuate the war taxes for
another twenty years.
Mr.. Blaine himself has given his adhe-
sion to this policy by poohphoohing the
surplus question and saying that it could
be wisely spent in three internal schemes.
The workingmen know that while wages
cannot be voted up or voted down, taxes
can be. And they will vote that unneces.
sary taxation is unjust taxation and should
be stopped.-[N. Y. World.

The COMMODORE OvERREACHED.-An
amusing story is told of the way in which
William H. Vanderbilt overreached his
father, the Commodore. William wanted
manure from the Fourth avenue car sta,
bles for his Staten Island farm, and asked
his father what he would charge for ten
loads. "What'll you give?" asked the
Commodore. "It's worth four dollars a
load to me-" said the farmer. "Good
enough; I'll let you have it for that" an,
swered the railroad man, having a decided
impression that the price was at least twice
as much as the stuff was worth. Next
day he found his rustic son with a scow
Just loaded for home.
"How many loads have you got on that
scow, Billy" asked the commodore, in an
excellent humor.
"How many?' repeated the son, feign-
ing surprise Zone of course"
Zone! why there's at least thirty" the
old gentleman exclaimed, inspecting 1t
c%uriously.
"No, father, 1 never put but one load on
a scow-one scow load! Cast off the lines,
Pat !"-[Chicago Times.

The MINISTER THANKED HEAVEN
An old sea captain sat in the lobby OF the
custom house yesterday afternoon. He
was in q talkative mood, and related q
number of funny experiences he had had
with ministers. There was one IN partic-
ular which amused him very mucn as ne
recalled it.
"Once, when we left London," he began,
"to make a trip to Baltimore, among the
passengers on board was a preacher. we
had hardly got out of the river before the
good man became awfully sick, and he felt
sure something was wrong with the ship.
He related his fears to me, and to allay
them I took him to the fore part of the
vessel, where a number of sailors were at
work.
"'Do you hear those men swear" I
asked. =. !,
"sYes,, he replied. Isn't it shocking?
What will become of them"
".Well, I don't know l answered, but
it must be plain they are not worried
about the condition ofthe ship The rev
erend gentleman saw the point and felt
much easier.
sThe next day a terrible storm arose.
The vessel plunged in the trough OF the
waves, and the passengers were greatly
frightened.
RI noticed the preacher going to the
same part of the ship, and ! followed MN.
Suddenly he stopped and listened atten-
lively. Then he exclaimed THANK heav.

add that the boatdidn't 20 down."-Baitl

WHAT WE PAY THE SUGAR REFINERs.
To rob the farmer and the people the first
step was, to use the language of the Repub-
lican platform, to 'check imports of such
articles Gmade by foreign paupers as
could be produced by our people," and to
force our workmen to enter into competl-
ton with foreign pauper labor. To do this
a series of heavy fines, ranging from 70 to
1926 per cent, were levied on the lmporta-
ton of foreign pauper products. These
fines checked the importation, and stopped
the manufacture of the native American
products previously exchanged for them.
The workman thrown out of employment,
was forced to go into the mill producing
pauper products, at a lower wage, which
yet was higher than the foreign pauper re-
ceived. The pay roll vas so insignificant,
the profits SO enormous, that the manutac
turer protested in this debasement and en-
serfment of the American workman could
afford to be liberal-for a time. How in
significant wages are to him may be seen
by consulting the census. In 1880 the ~
sugar refiners of this country received from
the people of the United States $3.50, S44, 9l5
for sugar that could have been bought in
foreign markets for $100,3l2, S47-an adj
vance of 500, 172, 069 over normal profits.
The 40 firms employed 5,857 Workmen,
to whom they paid $2,S75,O32 in wages, or
5 per cent, Of the blackmail paid by the
people to the 40 firms. Last year the
blackmail paid the 40 firms over $50, OOO,-
600, and their Workmen struck against a de-
crease in wages-and were beaten. What
''protection" did the tariff afford these
workmen?-[J. E. Wilson, in Bedford's
Magazine for August.
