every prospect that it will be the
same in 1855. Because of this fail
ure the people are naturally turn
ing to the tariff revision of 1888,
and will expect the party that
made that revision to frame a
platform that will both revise the
tariff and reduce the surplus, with
out interfering with the prosperity

REFORM WILL BE CONTINUED.

The campaign of 1884 was
fought and won by the party now
IN power on the idea of a general
reform. 1t is conceded by men of
all parties that, the campaign of
1888 will be fought on the issue of
apartlcular reform. Both of the
great parties will, each, have two
important planks in their plat
forms and upon these two planks
Will the attention of the voters be
rlveted. All others are likely to be
of minor consideration.
One of these planks will be the
reformation of the tariff, the other,
the reduction of the surplus.
a revision of the tariff was
made by the party in power in
1883, with view to reducing the
surplus. Another revision should
have been made in 1887; the peo-
pie demanded it, and had the same
party been in power, they would
IN all probability have obtained if.
just how this revision and re-
ductlon is to be brought about. is
the rock upon which one of the |
parties must strand.
The dead issues of the past will |
be buried, TO great extent. in
the campaign of 1888, and the
questions will be: What do Won
propose to do? What can YOU do
There must be tariff revision
because, the people demand it;
there must be reduction of the
surplus for the same reason. These
wo things must be done, and upon
he method of doing them, will
he voters of this country sit in
as a great jury, TO de-
ide which is acceptable and will
rove most beneficial to the whole
eople.
Little can be expected of the
arty in power, because its policy
calculated to divide the party,
hich must always follow, when
le interests of one section ere |
ade to oppose those of another
his clashing of interests was the :
use of the failure to accomplish

HEALTH HINTS.
SOME SUGGESTIONS REGARDING THE
TREATMENT OF COUGHS. AND

TREATMENT OF COUGHS. AND
COLDS, WORTH REMEMBERING.
A cough is usually the symptom OF
some disease, the character Of the
cough denotes the nature OF the disease.
A cough should never be suppressed
but the desease cured, then the cough
will stop of itself. The most common
disease that causes coughing, is cold.
When person takes cold, many OF the
air cells of the lungs become obstructed
with mucus, the coughing is an
effort of nature to relieve the lungs and
that is the first and most important
thing to be done in treating cold.
The lungs should be relieved and the
secretions opened. Which is the best ac-
complished by giving Chamberlains
Cough Remedy. 1t is the only prepara-
tion in use that will cause tho expulsion
of mucus from the air cells OF the lungs.
1t also renders the mucus less tenacious
and easier to expectorate and opens the
socretions, aiding nature in relieving the
lungs and freeing the system of all NOR
bid matter affeetually curing. the cold.
II acts in perfect harmony with nature
use that does. Natures way is to open
thC oCCtCIlOuS, ItuuSl tkiO ihhSuo avs
tenacious and easier 10 expectorate and
relieve the lungs and that is precisely
the effect of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. You ask: How do we know
that is natures way?" Because if your
system is strong enough to stand 1t
nature, will in time relieve 1t Of the
cold without the aid of any medicine
and that is just the way it goes about it,
but many an ''iron constitution" has
been scvcrly racked by leaving nature
alone and unaided to do the work. No
one can afford to neglect cold, as
catarrh and chronic bronchitis are
caused by neglected colds. When per
son has a cold the mucus membrane
lining the air passages Of the head,
throat and lungs is infiamed, the infam-
nation however is acute" and can be
cured, if not cured but kept up by
the cold or by succession OF colds
which is very common occurrence. the
inflammation becomes chronic, and II
in the head, is known as catarrh; IL in
the wind pipe and branches OF it eI'
tending to all parts of the lungs, it is
called chronic bronchitis Neither cat
arrh nor chronic bronchitis can be per-
mancntly cured, as when apparently
cured, q cold will bring them on
again and every succeeding cold Will
aggravate them. These are facts which
no observing person can deny. 1t is OF
the utmost Importance that every cold
be ct.red as quickly as possible after
the first symptoms appear and it has
been abundently proven that there Is
no medicine that will cure cold in
less time than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, besides it leaves the system in
as healthy a condition as it was before
the cold was contracted.
