The Reason WHY

Ayers Pills are so popular is, that
while always reliable as q cathartic
medicine, they never leave any i'll
effects. This is because they are purely
vegetable, and entirely free from calo-
mel or any other dangerous drug. In
all cases, therefore, whether the patient
be old or young, they may be conf
IDENTIFY administered.
In the Southern and Western States,
where arrangements Of tho liver are so
general, Ayers Pills have proved an in
estimable blessing. D. w. Baine, New
Berne, n. c., writes:

regularly for a few months, and my
health was completely restored"

No man or set of men draws the
line between moral right and wrong;
God draws that, and that line finds
all men on one side or the other, and
brings them to judgement.

The Church of Christ is weak today,
and one of the reasons is the DISPOSE
ton of many of its members to lower
the standard of the Cross of Christ by
allowing motives of policy to lead
them away from sound principles.
To do thing because it is good
policy is one of the weakest argu-
ments ever given by man or woman
when there is a moral principle in
volved in the action.

Some one says: "What an enor-
NOUS revenue the licensing of crime
will bring in; and we defy any man,
who favors licensing the liquor traffic,
to show any good reason why all 9TH
er crimes should not be licensed"
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1888-04-07

Prohibition is the science of Chris
tianity applied, for it brings to bear
the teachings of Christ upon men
right down to bed rock principle that
they shall love their neighbers as
themselves. No man who loves his
neighbor will ever start a saloon.
The saloon system is not based on
love; but exists for the sake of greed.
Law cannot compel men to love each
other, but it can forbid them to do
that which is inconsistent with the
law of love by being injurious to 9TH
ers.

What was the Church of Christ es-
tablished for? To aid in raising sin
out of the gutter and the low grog-
gerry and establishing it in palaces of
vice? No! To say to the rich, "You
may have an opportunity to do
wrong; but the poor shall not?" No!
MOI! For the savior died for rich and
poor alike. What is the duty COM
mitted to the Church of Christ? Sim
ply to "destroy the works of the
DEVIL" not to license them. The
strongest kind of Prohibition.

The State Encampment.

Staff officers believe that the COM
ing encampment of the State troops at
Mackinac will be the most beneficial
and generally delightful encampment
ever held by the militia of Michigan.
The latest company reports show that
an average of about fifty-five men per
company will go into camp, and this
with the regimental staff, and camp
employees will give total of about
500 men to each regiment. AS there
are to be two regiments in camp at a
time with the United States troops
from Fort Wayne and Fort Macki-
nae there also, it will give total of
1 200 troops on the island at the time
during the two weeks encampment.
At Mackinac it will be different
from the encampment at Island Lake.
The men can not get home. They
will be obliged to stay all through
the encampment. Besides, the pres
ence of the army representatives will
prove of great value both to the Unit
ed States troops and the militia. For
these reasons it is thought the coming
encampment will result in greater in
structive value than has been given
in all previous camps held.-Bay
City Tribune.

crease the price of those products one
penny-not a farthing, "and says:
This is a well worn truism of course.
but it is one of those obvious and oft
demonstrated truths that seem the
hardest to penetrate the bucolic mind.
When you have proved to the farmer
who has been nourished on Horace
Greeley's Weekly Tribune that he
is selling nine-tenths of his crops in
competition with the pauper labor of
India, Egypt and Russia, and there is
no help for him, he struggles in daz'
ed and feeble way to get little more
tariff for the remaining tenth of his
products-his fax, potatoes, honey
and wool And when he fails in this
small scheme, he falls back OH the
comforting thought that he is build
ing up home market for his products.
He has been a hundred years pursu-
ing this will-o'-the-wisp, expecting
that time would come when the
home market which he has been so
long coddling with bounties drawn
from his own earnings, would take all
of his wheat, corn, beef, pork and cot
ton, and then voluntarily raise the
prices of the same. He has not re-
fected that the growth of manufac'
lures is made possible by the progress
of invention, and that this implies the
substitution of machinery for hand
labor. But since machinery does not
consume farm products, it follows
that the home market is always re-
ceding in proportion to the growth of
manufactures, so that the good time
coming, with which the farmer has
been fooled for a century past, is as
far away as ever. Measured by the
prices of the leading agricultural sta
Piles, it is much further away than it
was thirty years ago. Yet we find
clubs of greenhorps in the rural dis
tricts still holding weekly meetings
and passing resolutions in favor of a
higher tariff on potatoes, hops and
garden vegetables and two or three
other things of which we import
small quantity now and then when
we have an unfavorable season and a
short crop at home. TO these self-de-
luded grangers the tariff debate in
Congress will prove helpful, since it
cannot fail to put the other side of
the case before them and compel them
to read it and talk about it in their
neighborhood meetings.-Free Press.

Congressman Fords Speech and the
Farmers.

The speech made by Congressman
Ford, of this State, on the tariff is at-
tracing well merited attention by its
lucid and convincing exposure Of the
deceit practiced on the farmer in Sc
curing his support for high protec-
tive tariff. His showing that while
the farmer pays an average tax of AZ
per cent. on the goods for which his
products are exchanged, his labor is
in competition with the cheap and de-
graded labor of India, was especially
clear and forcible.
The New York Evening Postquotes

For quarter of a century we have
maintained the highest tariff in the
world on the pretense that it nourish-
ed our industries and kept up the
wages of labor. Under that tariff we
have had the worst panics and the Sc
verest industrial and business prostrn-

Who has forgotten how this tariff
failed to feed the homeless and starv-
