living idle in the Federal Treasury, result
ing from superfluous taxation, amounts
to more than one hundred and twenty
five millions, and the surplus collected is
reaching the sum of more than sixty
millions annually. Debauched by this
immense temptation, the remedy of the
Republican party is to meet and ex-
haust by extravagant appropriations and
expenses, whether constitutional or not
the accumulation of eXtravagant taxa
ton. The Democratic policy is to en-
force frugality in public expense and
abolish unnecessary taxation. Our es-
tablished domestic industries and enter
prises should not and need not be en-
dangered by the reduction and correc-
tion of the burdens of taxation. On the
contrary, fair and careful revision of
our tax laws, with due allowance for the
difference between the wages of Ameri-
can and foreign labor, must promote and
encourage every branch of such indus
tries and enterprises by giving them as
surance of a steady market and contin-
uous operations. In the interests of
American labor, which should in no
event be neglected, the revision of our
tax laws, contemplated by the Democrat
ic party, should promote the advantage
of such labor, by cheapening the cost of
the necesssaries of life in the home of
every workingman, and at the same
time securing to him steady and remu-
nerative employment. Upon this ques-
tion of tariff reform, so closely concern
ing every phase of our National life and
upon every question involved in the
problem of good government, the Dem
Ocratic party submits its principles and
professions to the intelligent suffrages
of the American people.

expresses the feeling Of many victims Of
rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and ner-
vous or sick headache. Havings tried
numberless so-called remedies, and physi-
clans of all SCHOOLS, without relief there
seems to be no hope. Many such have as
last resort tried Athlophoros, and to their
surprise and joy have found that it was .
safe, sure and quick cure. Athlophoros isnot
an experiment; thousands have been cured
by its use and they testify as to its value.
G. w. Cakes, Filley, Mo-, says: "Athlo-
phoros has done more for my rheumatism
than anything I haye tried. I have paid
out three or four hundred dollars for doc
tors and other medicines, but nothing
did me any good until I found Ath-
lophoros."
F. L. Davis, Insurance and Loan Agent
at Missouri Valley, Iowa, says: II have
used Athlophoros, and it cured me com.
pletely. Several years ago while away in
an adjoining town on business my attention
was called to this medicine by physician
and friend, who showed me bottle and
package, and made the remark, that if I
was ever troubled with rheumatism, use
this medicine and it will soon cure you.
About two years ago, my legs suddenly be-
gan to swell and pain, particularly at the
knee joints; on my right knee there was
bright red spot, that panied me most. In
a few days l was aware it was rheumatism,
my legs and feet kept on swelling, until
could not move my toes, and for many days
and nights, was obliged to sit, eat and
sleep in large chair. placed myself in
the care of physician, but he did me no
good. then abandoned the medicine I
had been using, and.commenced with Ath-
lophoros. The first three doses relieved
me, and with one bottle was well'

Mr.. A. B. Chambers has just arrived
from Jackson County, where one of the
New Era graders, with supervisor Palmer
IN command, IN Wisconsin township, on
Tuesday, June 10, built grade So rods
long and 20 feet wide at the base. sloping
to three feet high in the center, with a
ditch IL inches deep and 10 feet wide on
each side in ten hours. This was done in a
locality where there has been highway
laid out for twenty years, and a team
never passed over the road until it was
graded last Tuesday. Punch up your
town officers and have them invite Mr.
Bennett to exhibit the workings of his
machine IN your town. He will probably
come, and if he cannot put a sufficient
quantity ofldirt into the center of the road
in ten hours, they need not invest.
The Austin Odd Fellows, with their
ladies to the number of about Is, met an
equal number of the fraternity from
Albert Lea at the Sumner grove in Oak
land last Friday and enjoyed delight
full old time picnic. After destroying a
large quantity of first class provisions
the assembly gave itself up tothe sportive
mood. A platform was rugged up for the
more staid and sober, to indulge them
selves in little lively dancing; some OF
the young and enthusiastic got into ball
game and the balance of the company
turned their attention to rural sports.
Our boys do not remember much about
the base ball score, but we fear the
Albert Lea folks did them up. The meet
ing was so agreeable that it was determin-
ed to continue them, and the second
annual picnic, will accordingly be held
at the same place, on the third Tuesday
of June 1889. An organization with
D. H. Stimson president and Asa Squires
of Albert Lea secretary was formed to
keep up these yearly gatherings.
