Mr.. \. Newton, Gnllfpolis, Ohio:
Dear Sir-I have been afflicted with Catarrh
for the last . years, and during that time
have used many remedies. The following
list is only a portion of them; 1 cannet
member the names of all. have used their
remedies strictly according to directions but
without the slightest benefit. While think
that possibly some of them might be good in
early stages of the disease, / am confident
that they are no account in chronic cases

named remedies, each from three to eight
months, without any real benefit: MarshalI's

edy for Catitrrh, COlnoline, Old Saul's Catarrh
Remedy, FnZler'S lnvincible Ointment for
Catarrh, Schaefer's Catarrh Cure. The eX-
penSe to me for the above has been several
hundreds of dollars. Your little box, that
cost me 81, and stiff have two-thfrds of It,
has done me more good ten times over than
all the above named remedies put together.

Catarrh, either. in its first stages after 1t
becomes chronic; sind I. atn equally satisfied
TINT none of the others will. 1 make this

public questions, and in full accord
with the popular Judgment He did
not want the place, but was so urged
to become a candidate that he con-

who know him best, and who have
no motive except the good of the
State, were his most earnest sup
porters. 1t became manifest the
machine was solid against him. He
is man who cannot be used. He
saw he could not be nominated I'M

Of special interests, and viii over
throw il the moment they fully I'M
derstand what is Cor their own good,

We have in this State an0theril
lustration of the malign influence Of
sclf-interest in political action. In
consequence OF efforts to restrict the
liquor traffic, and the use of the Ex-
ecutive power to defeat them, we
find the liquor interests OF the State
banded together to dictate the re
nomination of Governor who has
played the femagogue and betrayed
the public interests to serve selfish
ends as no Governor of this State
has ever done before They are not
only determined to force his nomi-
nation upon party convention, but
they promise to aid his election at
whatever cost, and threaten to de-
feat his party il he is not renomi-
mated. They have no principle but
the protection of their self-interest,
which is in direct conflict with the
general well-being Of the communi-
ty; they are ready to sacrifice every
other issue, State or national, and to
destroy if they can any political
party which does not obey their be.
hests BY their attitude they expect
to coerce the Democratic Party into
accepting their candidate in spite of
the protests Of its better element and
at the risk Of losing the State and
even the Nation at the Presidential
election. There could be no more
mischievous power in politics than
this, and we may be sure that it will
not long be tolerated by an enlight-
ened people. By far the safest
coul Sc for any party is to defy it at
once and appeal to the intelligence
and selfrespect Of the people for
support.

REPUBLICAN STATEMENT OF AMERICAN
LABOR.
In 1878, when the government was
in the hands of Republican reform
ers, the Department. OF State pub
lished statement to the effect that
"the average American workman
performs from one and half to
twice as much work as the average
European workman" AT this "of-
fetal" rate the American workman
is paid at least % per cent less than
his brother across the seas. For,
see here, 2,732,595 American work
men produce manufactured articles
valued at $500, 579,191. equal to
81 ,965 per worker, while the English
average was only $3.50 per worker.
Thus the Republican official state
ment is cerroborated. But that
statement was issued for u purpose.
The purpose failed. Now the same
parties who issued it declare the
government must protect the man.
ufacturer because he pays 20 per
cent more wages than the foreign
manufacturer vile falsehood, for,
according to their own "official"
document, American labor is really
so per cent cheaper than labor
abroad. pt
While the late President Arthur
was in power the Department of
State also published the fact that
English cotton operatives were re-
ceiving 1851 a year for Sc hours OF
labor per week. The last census
shows that American cotton workers
only received $l44 per annum, while
giving &c hours of labor a week.
Thus the American received 81 less
pay, though giving Is per cent more
in work and paying 20 per cent more
in cost of living, for rent, DC.
