Nor an argument made by the republi-
cans, nor subterfuge upon which they
have relied. but has been shown TO have
been absurd. Careful study of the issue
has convinced the masses that the demo

policy advocated by the democratic party
must be and will be accepted as the policy
of the country.

TIE sugar trust has so far within the
year declared five 2 per cent. dividends
on a $50,00O,0 600 capitalization. 1t is we'll
known that this capitalization represents
more than double the actual value of the
property invested in the business. In
deed, those who claim to be conversant
with the matter place the total =
ment at hardly $4,000, 900, leaving $780,
100000 to represent water. This total
dividend of 10 per cent. would therefore
represent an actual dividend or return of
about 80 per cent. on the investment.
And the public may look for yet another
dividend probably within the year. This
trust is intrenohed behind federal revenue
laws imposing tari@ of over so per cent.

squeeze higher prices out of the people.

TnECABIN AND THECOUN.

The republicans had a meeting out at
Fennimore, Grant county, few days
ago, at which Mr.. Castle Of the land of
ece WAS to talk. The mopopolist tariff
takers paraded the village TO drum up
crowd with a log cabin and u coon on q
wagon. Less than a dozen voters re-
sponded to the call. The farmers of old
Grant must have felt that in this most
important, most instructive and most
vital campaign in a century, r cabin
and n coon constituted a poorer
diet even, than attempting to make them
believe that taxing them Sl15, 100000
year more than congress could waste
would make them rich. Just think of a
party psrading a cabin and coon in
campaign of the vital Importance on the
sub ject of taxation as this one. Grant
county farmers who have let the mort
cages stand for quarter of a century to
pay off the nations debt, ought now
that the debt is paid and the treasury
running over-to be allowed to pay their
own debts and enjoy with their families
their earnings above what is absolutely
necessary FOR government expenses. But
the republican party proposes to enthuse
them with cabin and a coon. We shall
see pretty soon what they think of it.

RLAINE SQuELCHEn AGAIN.

Mr.. Blaine, in one OF his speeches in
Indiana, tried to prove himself one of
the lipeal descendants of Ananias. He
srraigned the secretary of the treasury
for depositing government money in ma
tionsl banks. He thought the people
were so ignorant that they didn't know
that the republicans made the law Great
ing national banks ss special repositories
otgovernment funds. He supposed they
were ignorant of the fact that when John
Sherman was secretary he deposited so
much OF the government funds in one
pet bank in New York that it was called
Fort sherman" He charges as a viola
tion of law what was done in pursuance
of lava law made by republicans, and
under which ten times rs much money
was kept out on deposit in ma
tionsl banks ss is at pres,
ent. Secretary Fairohild punctured
one OF BIaine's little falsehoods
in his speech in New York on Saturday
night. Blaine had declared that a lot OF
money had been deposited in bank OK
two in which Col. Brice, the democratic
national campaign manager, was inter
ested. Mr.. Fsirchild states the facts, and
in very polite and courteous Language
puts Blsire in pillory as deliberate
falsifer. Mr.. Brice owns an interest IN
two banks. One OF them never had any
government moneys on deposit. The
other-which is republican, bank, with a
lot of old eI-treasury officials, all repub
licaus for its offcers-did some months
ago have small deposit, but it turned
the money into the treasury, because
they gained no benefit from it. Nearly
all the deposits are made with banks
owned and conducted by republicans.

What is the "nervous trouble" with which
so many seem now to be afflicted? If you
will remember a few years ago the woid
Malaria was comparatively unknown-today
it is as common as any void in the English
language, yet this word covers only the
meaning of another word used by our fore
fathers in time past. So it is with nervous
diseases, as they and malaria are intended to
cover what our grandfathers called bilious
ness, and all are caused by troubles that
arise from a diseased condition Of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding it
cannot dispose of the bile through the ordi-
nary channel is compelled to pass it of
through the system, causing nervous trou-
bles, malaria, bilious fever, etc. You who
are suffering can we'll appreciate a cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower. Its
cures are marvellous.

New and valuable AntlssrtIe.

Dr.. Neudorfer, of Vienna, has found in
a substance called 'creoline" a valuable
antiseptic. It is a sort of tar obtained
from bituminous coal by dry distillation.
It is closely related to ereosote, carbOlic
acid, resorcine and hydrochinon. This
substance has been found highly advan.
tegeous in preventing the spread Of cry
sipelas, the pains of which it also reduces,
and it effects an early cure. By its use
the subcutaneous injections Of carbohc
acid are not required. He has also used
creoline for the treatment Of ordinary
flesh wounds and for the removal OF
tumors. A gauze is prepared, which is
dipped in q solution of creoline. The
doctor considers it the most trustworthy,
convenient and harmless, as well as the
cheapest, of antiseptie preparations
