Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool. and free from dan
druff, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity OF
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cieanses the scalp, promotes the
growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass,
gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use of Ayers Hair Vigor. at

A similar result attended the use OF
Ayers Hair vigor by Mrs. o. O. Pres
colt, of Charlestown, Mass, Miss Bessie
III. Bedloe, of Burlington, Vt, Mrs. J.. j.
Burton, of Bangor, Me-, and numerous
others.
The loss of hair may be owing TO inn
purity of the blood or arrangement OF
the stomach and liver, in which case,
course of Ayers Sarsaparilla or of
Ayers Pills, in connection with the
Vig0r, may be necessary TO give health
and tone TO all the functions of the
body. At the same time, it cannot be
too strongly urged that none of these
remedies can do much good without
q parsevering trial and strict attention
TO cleanly and temperate habits.

THE VANISHING SUEPLrS.

The condition that confronts us" is rapidly
disappearing. President Cleveland's preteM
for startling the country with his free-trade
message was the growth Of an unmanageable
surplus. Instead of being content to pay OIL
the National debt, as Republican Presidents
had been, he questioned the legality and eX-
pediency Of purchases Of outstanding bonds
and converted the denominations IN the Treas
ury into a standing menace to prosperity that
could only be averted by recourse to Tree wool
and free trade. lie declared that there would
be a surplus Of $4,000 000 July OF this
year. and that the annual excess Of revenues
over EXPENDITURES would not run short OF
$50. 900. OOO. This was the condition." and
in order to rescue the country from the fatal
endorsements Of its own prosperity he pro-
posed revision Of the tariff as the vicious,
ineouitable and illogical source of unnecessary
taxation.D That revision on the lines present.
ed by him was instantly recognized in Eng
land a. a movement in the interest OF free
trade. Several london journals fastened TO
assure the Democracy that under Tree trade
there never would be any probability OF a sur
plus Ian &c or small. The condition under that
theory, it was grandy promised. would no
longer confront the country. But even with
out free trade the Democracy is finding out
that the surplus is entirely manageable. a
long session of Congress alone is required in
order to get nd Of it.
A more comica situation was never known
in American politics than the present plight
Of the Democratic party respecting the surplus
Last December the President portrayed the
country as on the verge Of indescribable dis
aster in consequence Of that appalling surplus
Every Free Trader who addressed the House
banked upon the surplus, lgtratively speak

has been the pretext for this entire campaign
against American industry. Meanwhile, th'

The peroration Of the remarkanie speech

the Fisheries Treaty contained some agreeable
suggestions disagreeably put. 1t is gratifying
70 be assured that should anybody make war
upon us we may confidently look to find the
cold spirit of the Southern Democracy on
deck and rallying around the Stars and stripes
But the Senator should not begin stimulating
the Southern Democracy by insisting that IL
was somebody clse's fault that the occasion has
arisen for its warike manifestations. Nor al
though his promises Of Southern support are
pleasing in what they signify Of common
interest in our common country, is there any
occasion for talking about war with England
There isn't going to be any war with England
So soon as Canada learns that free fish are
an impossibility and that outrages on American
vessels will be visited on her financially ID
nunitive damages she will become civil. There
will be no occasion to ask the old spirit OF
the Southern Democracy" to rub up its rusty
armor.
