Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool. and free from dam
druff, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity OF
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth OF the hair, prevents it from
falling ont, 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. "It
stopped the falling out" he writes

my white hair (without staining the
scalp) to the same shade Of brOt0n it

A Wild Leap.-R. w. Il. King, gov.

burg, this county, jumped from the Point OF
Rocks express train, while running at u
rapid speed westward, at Randolph Station,
Metropolitan Branch r. r., on Wednesday
evening last, and is supposed to have re-.
ceived internal injuries. He bore no out.
ward injuries. The second train following
the one he jumped from picked him up sit
ting on the track in suffering condition
and carried him to Gaithersburg. A gen.
tleman on the train with King saw him
take his bundles and hat and pile them near
the water cooler before reaching Randolph
Station. There, he says, King passed out
of the car to the platform, leaving his bun
dies and hat, and then to the lett hand steps,
Instantly he turned to the right.hand steps
and jumped from the train. This gentle
man thinks King intended suicide. To
what extent King has been injured we

The Mills Bill Percentage Fraud.


To the Editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Alarmed at the growing unpopularlty of
their free trade scheme the Democratic
press aud politicians are calling out to the
fast deserving rank and file OF their party
that the Mills bill offers only per cent
less Protection than the present tariff
affords. How" they ask, "can tariff
bill whose average rate of duty is 40 per
cent. be called free trader"
Now, sir, have taken the trouble to
look up the average rate of duty of En-
gland tariff, and find it to be over 60 per
cent, (69 81 which is nearly twice as high
as the average rate proposed to be left by
the Mills bill And England's is the
model free trade tariff of the world.
So we see that the amount of Protection
afforded by tariff is not determined by
the height of the average rate of duties, as
the Mills bill advocates so falsely pretend.
They well know, as every intelligent man
must, that the amount of Protection de-
ponds on the way in which the tariff is
levied and the class of articles it is levied
upon; just as they may know that the
average rate of duty in the British free
trade tariff is 20 5 per cent. higher than in
the Mills bill
Any man can figure it out for himself.
The values of highlands dutiable imports
(tea, coffee, tobacco, etc. in 1856 aggre-
gated ELS ,955 1858, or about $l45, 00O, 900,
and the duty collected On these amounted
to ego, 139 1872, or 800 600 900, being over
50 per cent. on the values. Yet it is Free

Free Whisky in the Mills Bill.

Please read this extract from section 40
of the Mills bill, which assed the House
and which now awaits the action of the
Senate of the United States
''All clauses of section 2 PA of the Re-
vised Statutes, and all laws amendatory
thereof, and all other laws which impose
any special taxes upon manufacturers of
stills, retail dealers in liquor aud retail
dealers in malt liquors, are hereby re.
pealed."
Ii the bill should pass the Senate and
be approved by the President it would be
come law on October l. 1888
This comes as near to free whisky, in
the worst sense of the phrase, as is CON
ceivable. 1t opens a way for the least re
sponsible men in the country 10 open rum
shops without license at every cross roads
The opinion of all practical temperance
reformers is and always has been that SO
long as revenue is derived from the traf-
fic In liquor it should be derived from
high taxes upon retailers. X Chicago Inter

Amer ''an Manufacturer; The imports
of wooden goods into the United States in
1879 were only IL per cent of the total
consumption. In other words. the domes-
tic production of WOODEN goods was SO per
cent. of the total consumption. n 1859.
the domestic production was only 40 per
cent. Of the domestic consumption. This
illustrates, very forcibly, what Protection
has done for this industry. The produc-
Jion of wool has likewise made astonishing
strides under Production. In 1859 the clip
was 10000, 900 pounds. or l 9 pounds per
