he should. as president of the Ameri-

AMMIDowN AND HIS HuNo.-Mr
Edward H. Ammliowu, president Of
the American Protective Tariff League,
has been go unwIse As to write letter
Il Is addressed TO The Philadelphia
Ta'e>, and is an angry protest against
criticisms on MN because he has
largely employed Hungar!ans TO take
the place of American workmen in his
large wooden mill at Passaic, y J
Mr.. Anmidown declares that he did
not import these men. and assumes
that such being the case there is
nothing inconsistent between MS action
as manufacturer and lis pretsnse as
president Of the Protective Tariff
League that the main object of the
existing tariff i the protection Of
American labor.
No one who has read the testimony
before the Congressional Committee
on Immigration, now sitting IN New
! ork, will care baubee whether Mr..
Ammidown imports Hungarlans him
self or takes them of the nands OF the
rA>ca.s who are Systematically engaged

Mexico weekly ledger., 1888-08-02

OUR contemporary, which, for
weeks, has been little more than a
handbill, advertising Morehouse,
dripping with cold perspiration,
yesterday bobbed up serenely in a
column and half editorial taking
the st. Louis Republic to task for
having, in a manly manner, ex-
pressed it's convictions that D. r..
Francis is the best material for gov
ernor of Missouri. A few tin bosses
and tin-horn politicians throughout
the State, who find they can use
Morehouse, are employing any and
every means to injure any man or
any paper that will not support
hun. The Intciligencer claims that
the Republic is making itself an
organ for Francis. The Republic
thinks Francis is the best man for
the place and could do no less than
support him if it wants the respect
of the party. What's the matter
with the IatelIigencer and all the
other Morehouse papers--there are
only dozen in the State-being
organs ?" There is no use OF
roaring Francis is the man and the
press and people are for him.

BASE BALL.
Another Of Day for Mexlco's Pets
Bits of Base Ball News.

Several hundred admirers of the
Mexico Browns held down the seats
at Sportsman's Park for over two
hours Friday afternoon, and
wept at the defeat of their pets.
After the opening innings they
were.out played at every point by
the visitors. Every one of the
Browns played an unusually bad
game. They offer no excuses; they
just didn't play ball. At first it
began to look as if the visitors were
going to be hopelessly defeated.
Harrison opened with a good show
ing in the box, well supported by
Hollopeter and a good team behind
him. Harvey, at short, opened
the crooked work for the home club
by throwing nicely gathered
grounder too low for Winscott to
handle. Then the visitors com
menced to pile up runs, and they
didn't stop until they had nineteen
ON their side of the board. Cau-
thorn, Harrison, Buckner and Hol-
lopeter did good work for the
Browns, but the latter injured his
left hand in sliding to the home
plate. Hood relieved Harrison in
the eighth and Harvey got behind
the bat. The visitors made three
clean hits in the inning. In short
the Browns were demoralized ant
couldn't do anything. The visi
tors played a fair game, but the
team was gathered from half /,
dozen towns and there is some con
ISOLATION in the thought that s'oul
Browns were not done up b,
Keytesville, single handed. Ap
Ipended is the score:

How 1t Works.

In answer to many inquiries re-
garding the permanency of cures
wrought by st. Jacobs Oil to which
public attention has been special
ly called in many varied forms, the
following serves as a most excel
lent example of how the great
remedy performs its miracles and
what is meant by a permanent cure.
Hundreds have testified to the
same effect. Mr.. J. f, Bonsall
Prsthonotary, New Bloomfield,
Perry county, Pa, in 1881, was
permanently cured of rheumatism
From the age of Is to As. about 80
years, he had suffered acutely al
times from that dread disease, and
at the date specified, he was per.
manently cured by St. Jacobs Oil.
In proof of this, he writes in 1886
| that he has had no recurrence o
rheumatic pains since his relief in
1881. Again in April, 1888, he
writes as follows: "My health con.
tinues good; no return of rheuma.

The Commercial Travellers Pro-
tective Association, of the United
States, has a membership of over
sixteen thousand and is probably
the strongest association of the
kind in the world. Mr.. John r..
Stone, their Natl Sec'y and
Treas. 10 Dearborn St., Chicago, in
r letter states that he has been
severely troubled at times, for the
past twenty years, with cramp and
bilious collie which would compel
him to take to his bed from three
to six days-while in St. Louis at
their last annual meeting he pro-
cured a bottle of Chamberlain's s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and has since used it with
the best results. 1t is the only
remedy he ever found that effected
a rapid and complete cure. No
one can safely travel without it.

The Origin of Hes All Right"

This cry, like many another that
was afterward made popular, is
said to have originated as term of
derision for the Prohibitionists and
for st. John, the candidate of that
party for President in 1884. 1t had
its origin in the West, and in about
this way: Gov. st. John had been
a Republican party leader, as is
well known, and when he accepted
the Prohibition nomination for the
Presidency he was roundly de-
nounced by the Republicans. They
started the cry, "What is the mat
ter with st. John?' The answer
to this was, ooh he's all right %
This was accompanied with sig
nificant shake of the head, which
was meant to imply that the DEM
ocratic barrel had been tapped for
st. John, and that he was abun.
dainty supplied with lucre and
liquid refreshments. The Prohi-
bitionists adopted the cry, and used
|! it during the canvass in 1884.
