Helping the Right Side.

To help the right side is not only

sea, occasional vertigo, an unpleasant
breath yellowness of the skin and ball of
the eye. The author of these symptoms,
liver complaint, routed by the Bitters is
accompanied by them in its flight. Fever
and ague, which always involves the
liver, dyspepsia, rheumatism, debility
and kidney trouble are all maladies to
the early relief and final cure of which
this standard medicide is adapted. Don't
use it by fits and starts, but systemati-
cally, that its full effects may result in a
perfect restoration of health.

THERE is nothing like being in
time, or yelling before you are hurt.
This is illustrated by the shutting
down of the Chambersburg Wooden
Mills. The president of the COM
pany said:
Il attribute our suspension to the
passage of the Mills bill, and the
present Free-trade ascendency.n
Does any honest man, who keeps
himself posted in regard to the
times, believe such bosh? Because
the tariff has been put squarely be-
fore the voter, and warped into free
trade by the high protectionists, the
mills were forced to shut down.
High protection should have kept
that mill going until every trading
port was a free trade post. However,
funny things occur and blamed on
funnicr things.

GREAT FATALITY is resulting from
persons eating unripe or stale fruit
and vegetables. Every day the
press chronicles sad results from
causes above referred to. Often veg
etables are hauled hundreds of miles
and handled several times before
being sold. Naturally, they decay
more or less, and when sold, are
thoroughly impregnated with pois-
onous germs, which quickly satur-
ates the system of those who eat.
Too much care cannot be exercised.

Is rs follows;
We unanimously declare the evidence given by
William q Bartel before your committee, as pub
shed here 20 be untrue so far as concerns us the
pork packers Of Louisville, Ky. We do not kill
diseased hogs, nor hogs sick of cholera. We
make only absolutely pure hogs lard, free from

In transit aud all hog CUTS from animals slaugh-

among foreign nations, and that he testimony OF
"A man who acknowledges himself TO have

In an interview with the correspondent of
The Omaha Herald Congressman Laird, of
Nebraska who is u member of the committee
on agriculture, said: $50 far this is a fight
between dealers in pork and lard represent
ing different sections and conflicting interests.
Certain packers Of pork and renderers of lard
have sought and are promoting this investi-
cation to the end that they may rather gain
advantage than that the consumer or pro
ducers should be protected This has lately
degraded the inquiry into mere mud-slinging,
as for example the testimony of one
Bartel, which was simply infamous,
and which will arouse the country
TO such an extent as will permit
no trihmg by packers, renderers, refiners and
liars with an industry that pays $1,000, 900
per year into the pockets of the producers Of
this country from foreign consumers. Let
the packers renderers and reiiners take notice
that there is nothing to be gained by preju-
diced statements aimed, as rivals in trade, at
the pccuniary interests of each other. BY
this method they will simply invoke legisla-
tion unfriendly to their own personal inter

The republican leaders in this state
have encountered pretty hard nut to
crack and they are in sad dilemma ns
to how they can explain the enormous in
crease of taxation. In little hand book
of facts and figures it is found that llli>
nois has been out of debt for years and
Gov. Cullom when last candidate fOT
that office, congratulated the people of
the state, wherever lie had occasion to
address them, upon this happy financial
condition, promising that inasmuch as
the republican party had wiped out the
state debt and having no interest to pay,
it would enter upon season of reduced
and continued reduction of taxes for state
purposes. But what do we seer In 1885
the state tax WAS 30 cents on the 800; in
1886 the state tax was AZ cents on the
800; in 1887 the state tax was SO cents
on the 800; rising gradually year after
year. But five states in the union pay
heavier state tax than the people of His
nois, and these five states all have heavy
debts and large interest to meet besides
their current running expenses. But the
case OF Illinois becomes more remarkable
when compared with her sister states who
join her borders. Take Indiana on the
east; il has debt of over So, 600. 900, and
yet her state tax is but 12 cents on the
500. Take Wisconsin on the north; it
has a debt OF over 10000 600, and yet
the state tax is less than 10 cents on the
800. Take Iowa on our western bor
der with large state debt and yet their
state taxes are 25 cents on the 300.
With these facts before them. is it not a
pertinent inquiry what Illinois does with
SO cents on the $1OO, and not dollar of
debt nor Il cent OF interest to pay? What
becomes of the $3,000.000 and over
which the people annually turn into the
state treasury? What becomes of the
100000, which in addition to the above,
the Illinois Central railroad is obliged to
put into the state treasury every year?
There are vital questions to the tax pays
ers of Illinois; they reach deep down into
their pockets These questions are well
worth study and investigation. Let the
powers that be tell the people of Illinois
why it taks SO cents on the 800 to pay
the current expenses of the state govern.

or even more honrishing on tax rang
