The one ground above all others
upon which the republican country
weeklies oppose tariff reform is that
''ruinous competition would, as they
claim. follow a reduction of import
duties 1t IL hard to imagine compe-
tition more ruinouS than that which
the country press is compelled to face
by reason of the low cost of the publ
cation of city newspapers. But il
seems that this competition is to
become even more ruinouS. The
Madison Democrat saws: The efforts
of the protectionists to bolster up their
tottering philosophy is fifty Illustrated
10y the efforts made to push the circul-
alton of the protection newspapers.
The New York Tribune and Boston
Journal. and other papers that make
the tariff their hobby, are circulated at
fifty cents year to subscribers. An
eastern country journal Scolds AT this
and says: The city weeklies are sold
ut half price, and the state republican
committee make up to the paper the
balance ont of the campaign funds,
which are squeezed ont of office
holders, otlice-seekers, large manu-
facturers, etc. who want their bust
ness protected The country papers
that have piped for protection find that
the few big organs of the party are
going to fight them out Of the field
with their low rates and subsidies from
the fiat" fried out of the protected
industries who want to keep the public
versed in ignorance of the iniquities
and injustice of the tariff. The coun-
try weeklies of the republican sect are
being supplanted."

What on Earth

Is the reason people will not, can not,

nostrums put up by Cheap John houses
or irresponsible parties at great profit,
rather than take a medicine of world
wide reputation and one that is giving
universal satisfaction at equal prices?

such unparalleled satisfaction for puri-
flying the blood as Beggs' Blood
Purifier and Blood Maker, and every
bottle that does not do its work will
cost you nothing. ". II. Prldeaux
